1/25) Deep-dive research by @SignalsIntelUFO shows that in 1980, Bob Lazar married a woman 16 years his senior, Carol, previously convicted of 2nd-degree murder for armed assistance to Hells Angels in committing a brutal slaying.

In 37 years, Bob Lazar has very seldom engaged in any form of back-and-forth questioning by, or debate with, any well-informed and skeptical interlocutor (as opposed to story-amplifers such as @joerogan, @jeremycorbell, et al). When Lazar has done so, he is in trouble immediately. For example, at the May 1, 1993 International UFO Conference in Rachel, NV, Lazar was asked to name any of his Caltech/MIT professors. He named two men, "Dr. Duxler...at Caltech" and Hohsfield "at MIT" (he even spelled the latter name). Nobody with either name had ever taught at Caltech or MIT. Duxler turned out to be a physics teacher at Pierce Junior College; Lazar was registered in a course he taught. Hohsfield turned out to be Lazar's high school tech teacher. Lazar's only degree past high school is from Pacifica U, a correspondence school later shut down by the state of California as a mail-order degree mill. (See the next reply)

THE MORPHING STORY OF ALIEN ISOTOPE "115" Of all the rote things Bob Lazar fans repeat about his claims, among the most wildly erroneous is the assertion that Lazar has "always told the same story." Most who have really studied early Lazar materials (as opposed to the greatly cleaned up narratives peddled by such storytellers as @g_knapp and @JeremyCorbell) find the "same story" assertion to be truly laughable. Offhand, I cannot think of a significant element of Bob Lazar's UFO-related tales, or his claims about his own background, on which Lazar has NOT made contradictory statements. It is not just that Lazar has lied promiscuously--he has also lied lazily, trusting that his promoters will smooth things over, as indeed they have, from the beginning, and decade after decade. The examples are innumerable--Lazar's educational and scientific credentials, his criminal history, the nature of his role at the Los Alamos laboratory, et cetera, et cetera. Contemporary promoters such as @joerogan have repeatedly embraced and amplified cleaned-up or disproven Lazar claims without apparent awareness of, or evident concern, about their history. Just for example, let's take Lazar's claims about a purported alien isotope that he said defeats gravity and churns out power like the sun. Lazar claims to have figured out the secrets of this material while working as a physicist for a super-secret government program that supposedly possessed nine intact alien craft, at least one of which, he said, was being flown (in 1989!). He claimed also to possess/control a quantity of this alien material. This claim has been featured for decades in Lazar-promoting narratives such as Jeremy Corbell's 2018 film "Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers." See also the clip from a 2014 George Knapp speech below. Lazar claimed this miraculous substance is a stable isotope of "Element 115," the element with 115 protons, now officially known as moscovium (symbol: Mc). No such stable isotope is known to science; the five lab-created isotopes of moscovium all have half-lives that are fractions of a second. But the concept of a "stable isotope of Element 115" postulates that some certain number of neutrons would constitute an isotope that would endure indefinitely and would also, in Lazar’s tale, somehow manifest both gravity-defeating and sun-like power-producing properties. For those who know Lazar’s history only through the streamlined narratives promoted by Knapp, Corbell, and other storytellers, it may come as a surprise that Lazar has contradicted himself about both the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the purported super-powered alien substance. Yet those are the very two variables that define, respectively, an element, and an isotope of an element. In a Sept. 22, 1990 interview with author Michael Lindemann, Lazar said, "I was the one who identified 115. That was my only contribution to the project. And I don't stand on the fact that it's 115, but if it's not, it's 114. It's right in there." So here we see Lazar, early on, claiming to have identified ‘Element 115’ as the substance that made the alien craft work--except he was not even sure that the element in question had 115 protons! It might have 114! "It's right in there"! Yet the number of protons is, of course, what defines an element in the first place. This 1990 statement by itself is sufficient to make the entire "Element 115" tale laughable. But that's not all. A given element can have very different properties depending on the number of neutrons. An isotope is defined precisely by the number of neutrons. Yet Lazar has also said contradictory things about the number of neutrons in the alien isotope. "Atomic mass" can mean several things depending on context, but when shown as a whole number (no decimal) for a specific isotope, it is understood to mean "mass number"-- that is, the sum of the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Around 1989, Lazar told his pal Joe Vaninetti that the mass of the alien substance was 271; if the super-isotope had 115 protons, that would mean it had 156 neutrons. Yet many later years on his United Nuclear website, Lazar sold mugs and T-shirts blazoned with a diagram for what he then called "Lazarium" (his modest nomenclature for "Element 115"), but showing the "atomic mass" of the alien isotope as 299--so that would be 184 neutrons. 156? 184? Bob Lazar smuggled in 28 additonal neutrons to his original alien isotope. Why might he have done that? Perhaps because, in between those two incompatible claims, element 115 was actually synthesized for the first time, in Russia, in 2003. To date, five isotopes have been synthesized, with neutron numbers ranging from 171 to 175, and within that observed series the half-life INCREASED along with mass number. Especially in light of that real-world data, Lazar’s 1989 neutron number of 156 seemed especially implausible. His subsequent adoption of a much higher number, 184, moved his story into the neutron-rich region that nuclear theory associates with increased stability in superheavy nuclei. We should not be surprised that a scientist-impersonating serial scam artist churns out contradictory nonsense--but please, don't tell us that he has been consistent in his fabrications. Protons and neutrons aside, consider this: Bob Lazar has long claimed to have personal possession or control of a quantity of this super-powered alien substance--but in over 30 years, he has never submitted samples to independent labs. Think of that--the man has claimed to possess a gravity-defeating isotope that cannot have been made by the hand of man. This claim, if true, would constitute undeniable physical proof of alien visitation and alien technology! Why are so many expending so much energy into searching out and arguing about debatable observations and fuzzy videos, IF there is physical proof in hand? Why don't Lazar and his promoters not schedule a televised press conference next week and, in full view of the world audience, turn over slivers of the alien isotope to three independent labs, at least one foreign (in France, maybe)? If the story were true, "disclosure" would soon follow, with vindication, awards and honors for all involved, and so forth. Yes, I am aware of the assertion that somehow Lazar's control of the alien isotope has been a guarantee of his personal safety from government goons (for over 30 years!), but that is manifestly utter nonsense. If such a substance existed, any danger would attach to its continued possession, and would be obviated by its public revelation under TV lights and subsequent proof by independent analyses. At that point, the genie would be out of the bottle, the "whistleblower" vindicated and safe, with accolades and awards flowing in from across the globe. The purported alien-tech "gatekeepers" would be jumping off bridges. But that press conference and those lab analyses will never happen, because the Lazar-Knapp-Corbell "Element 115" sub-story is a gullibility test, which so many continue to flunk. Looking at you, @joerogan. But if you disagree, then it is not too late to take up the cry: Disclosure now! Free the alien isotope!

In a follow up response received after I posted, Dr. Kirkpatrick added, "Also to my knowledge any anomalous event after that time [i.e., after Kirkpatrick stepped down as AARO director in December 2023] was explainable. I think I’m aware of what Kosloski is referring to and disagree with his statement, but I’m not doing the analysis. I’d refer to the Pentagon and details."

FOLLOW UP EXCHANGE WITH SEAN KIRKPATRICK REGARDING ANY UFO/UAP CASES THAT AARO DECIDES THAT IT CANNOT EXPLAIN I sent Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick a follow up inquiry in response to his April 2, 2026 comments (which I posted earlier today) about a March 31 letter from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, requesting 46 UAP-related videos. My wordy question and Kirkpatrick's succinct answer appear below. ***** Douglas Dean Johnson: In yesterday's email, you wrote, "The statutory requirement is to gather the cases, analyze the data, and declassify each with its likely explanation." Your statement might be read (or misread?) to exclude the possibility of AARO ever declassifying or releasing a video of an event that AARO finds inexplicable-- that is, a video for which no "likely explanation" has emerged after thorough analysis.  To elaborate: Soon after assuming the AARO directorship, Dr. Jon Kosloski said, "But there are interesting cases that I, with my physics and engineering background and time in the IC, I do not understand. And I don't know anybody else who understands them either." (DoD Media Roundtable, Nov. 14, 2024) Yet I think that AARO has never released a UAP video with any statement approximating, "We have not been able to explain this one." Both you and Dr. Kosloski have made statements indicating that you believe that UAP data should be analyzed with an open mind, excluding no possibilities a priori, including the alien hypothesis. For example, you said, "In the event sufficient scientific data were ever obtained that a UAP encountered can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin, we are committed to working with our interagency partners at NASA to appropriately inform the U.S. Government’s leadership of its findings." (Testimony before a Senate Armed Services subcommittee, April 19, 2023.) And, "Nothing would have made me happier in that job but to have discovered alien technology and rolled it out." (CBS News, Feb. 24, 2026.) Dr. Kosloski said, "I haven’t yet seen the substantial evidence I need to convince me that extraterrestrial life has found its way to Earth as yet, but I am open to anything." (ScientificAmerican-dot-com, March 25, 2025.) So, my question: If AARO has acquired, or ever does acquire, high-quality video and/or other records of a device or phenomena that behaves in a manner not consistent with known human technological capacities or known natural phenomena (plasma or whatever), under the procedures that you favor, should that video ever be released to the public? I have in mind here such a case as Dr. Kosloski may have been thinking of when he said, "I do not understand...I don't know anybody else who understands them either." In other words, is it your position that AARO should never declassify and release to the public a video accompanied by a frank admission that it shows something that the analysts available to AARO simply have not been able to explain in terms of known technology or known natural phenomena? Or if that is not a correct understanding, then under what circumstances would you favor such a release? I would agree that release of videos for which no "likely explanation" has been found would provide fodder for "speculation, rumor, and pseudoscientific misinformation." But such releases also would allow "crowd sourcing" to a crowd that includes a far greater number of scientists and other persons with expertise or experience that might advance overall understanding of such events. It might also be argued that evident unwillingness by the government to be transparent about the most baffling cases may itself be a significant contributing factor to the proliferation of elaborate conspiracy theories. [end of Johnson inquiry] ***** Sean Kirkpatrick's response follows. I added a couple of commas for ease of reading. Please keep in mind that Dr. Kirkpatrick left the AARO directorship at the end of 2023, and that he has previously often taken pains to note that he does not speak for the current leadership of the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). ***** Sean Kirkpatrick: In the event that a case presented itself without any explanation after extensive analysis by the intelligence, scientific and analytic interagency and cross-organizational teams assembled by AARO, I had developed a procedure for just such crowd sourcing, but with boundaries and guardrails to prevent an overwhelming influx of nonsensical and pseudoscientific input which would possibly overwhelm the office. That has never happened and was contingent on the roll out of the phase 3 public website I developed and presented to the DepSecDef. No case made that threshold. [end of Kirkpatrick response]

That time Lazar tried to repackage the fake Dulce base alien shoot out story as happening at the Nevada Test Site. There is literally nothing Bob said that he didn't steal from somewhere else.

The late Dr. Peter Pry- former CIA analyst and Executive Director of the Congressional EMP Commission warned that China has developed super-EMP weapons capable of melting the U.S. power grid with a single high-altitude detonation. Congress created the EMP Commission in 2001. It's 2026 and we still haven't hardened the grid. 25 years of warnings. Zero protection.

@mlmorris33 @GeorgieMySon75 @rosscoulthart I think that the notion that government officials are making that distinction is a UFO Twitter-bubble invention. But anyway, it appears that the only place I used the term "extraterrestrial life" in my exchange with Dr. Kirkpatrick, was in a direct quote from Dr. Kosloski.

@ddeanjohnson, thanks for sharing your Q&As with Kirkpatrick. I noticed you used the term “extraterrestrial life” in your questioning. You might want to consider using “nonhuman intelligence” instead going forward as it is broader and would minimize word smithing by the likes of Kirkpatrick and other government reps

Inquiring minds want to know... This new letter (March 31) from @RepLuna to Secretary Hegseth makes no reference to an unreleased letter that @RepEricBurlison previously said he, Luna, and several other House members sent on March 6 to Hegseth and three other Cabinet members (State, Energy, DNI), requesting "a list of items [identified by] file names and the dates of these files..." related to UAP. I wonder, what came back from the four Cabinet members in response to that request? Nor does the new (March 31) Luna letter to Hegseth mention President Trump's much-discussed Truth Social post of February 19, in which the President said, "I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)...," etc. I wonder, how does Trump's statement (not an executive order) bear on how the Department of Defense now responds to Luna's request for numerous specifically identified videos, with a requested delivery date of "no later than" April 14, 2026?

@LegacyProgramVP @g_knapp @ddeanjohnson Right, but here's one interesting thing about Bob Lazar: He's never once changed ANY aspect of any of the stories that he's told. He's been consistent about everything he's said, right from Day 1. Most liars change and adapt their stories over time. He hasn't.

George Knapp (@g_knapp) admits that he thinks Bob Lazar is lying and that’s it’s “problematic” but doesn’t think everyone should throw out the whole story. Well, credibility isn’t built on cherry-picking what lies matter and what lies don’t. R/T: @ddeanjohnson

Images of products that Bob Lazar sold a few years ago, promoting "Lazarium." Text on the mug asserts that a "stable isotope" of Element 115 "has been used as a power source in a highly advanced and classified propulsion system..." The mug shows the isotope's atomic mass as 299.

SEAN KIRKPATRICK COMMENTS ON LUNA'S LETTER TO HEGSETH, REQUESTING 46 UAP VIDEO FILES I was the first to post on X the March 31, 2026 letter from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, requesting 46 named UAP-related video files. On the same day (April 1), I sent the Luna letter to former AARO Director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, with several pertinent questions. Kirkpatrick's complete and verbatim response appears below. Reading Kirkpatrick's reply, some objections spring to my mind. One inspiration for my objections is a statement by the current AARO Director, Dr. Jon Kosloski: "But there are interesting cases that I, with my physics and engineering background and time in the IC, I do not understand. And I don't know anybody else who understands them either." (Pentagon Media Roundtable, Nov. 14, 2024) Yet in the 16 months since Kosloski made that comment, AARO has not released any video with an accompanying statement approximating, "Our analysts have done their best and we have come up with no likely explanation for this one; what do you think?" Is AARO's official policy to be understood as allowing release ONLY when a "likely explanation" has been formulated? I may return to this point when I have more time to flesh it out. I am again attaching images of the complete Luna letter to Hegseth, so that everyone has readily accessible the Luna request on which Kirkpatrick comments below. ***** Sean Kirkpatrick, Ph.D. (2022-2023 AARO director), April 2, 2026, emailed responses to questions from independent journalist Douglas Dean Johnson (@ddeanjohnson) regarding a March 31, 2026 letter from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, requesting 46 UAP-related video files. Kirkpatrick: If the videos were in the hands of AARO prior to my retirement, then yes I would have seen them. What needs to be noted however, is that Luna tends to get her information from less than reliable sources, often pointing to things that either don’t exist or were never reported. If they weren’t reported in official channels then they usually only exist in social media, which as discussed on many occasions, is not a source from which AARO would be conducting analysis. Furthermore, Luna’s statement that she has “found responses from AARO, when questioned about UAP sightings and provided data, less than adequate,” stems from her bias and wholly uninformed and uneducated understanding of the scientific explanations and rational analysis behind each case. She doesn’t like the answers because it doesn’t conform to her conspiratory and imaginary theories and allegations. In answer to your other questions, these are important. First, releasing any raw video without performing the statutory requirement for analysis does not serve the public interest. It will only serve to further speculation, rumor, and pseudoscientific misinformation. The statutory requirement is to gather the cases, analyze the data, and declassify each with its likely explanation. This will not only address the need for transparency but also serves to help educate the ignorance and pseudoscience, combating the misinformation that pervades this area. This process takes time to do it right, something Luna her co-conspirators neither understand nor want. The Department has been complying with this law since the establishment of AARO. Secondarily, once each case is put through the process and analyzed, it should be declassified and released to the public according to the processes and procedures I established early on, published on AARO’s website. For example, every case with a cigar shape in an infrared camera is an artifact of the camera’s response function and thermal blooming as we demonstrated in the NOVA special some years ago. Putting that out in the public should have educated the public and Congress on why those types of objects are seen. Clearly, Luna didn’t pay attention and continues to listen to her “credible sources” in contradiction to fact. [end of Kirkpatrick response]

@NTK_UAP I suggest that anyone interested in the Bob Lazar tale(s) read not only the thread below, but also and especially, all of the articles by @SignalsIntelUFO, linked therein. His methodical, well-informed interviews with long-ago Lazar associates are devastating to the tale.
D. Dean Johnson@ddeanjohnson

1/25) Deep-dive research by @SignalsIntelUFO shows that in 1980, Bob Lazar married a woman 16 years his senior, Carol, previously convicted of 2nd-degree murder for armed assistance to Hells Angels in committing a brutal slaying.
