Synopsis

Bob Lazar was a brilliant young physicist that found himself employed at a top secret facility in the middle of the desert outside Las Vegas. Under the watchful eye of the government elite, he is tasked with understanding an exotic propulsion system being used by an advanced aerospace vehicle he is told came from outer space.

The stressful work and long, odd hours start to wear on Bob and he becomes concerned for his safety. He tells his wife and a couple close friends about what he's doing in the desert, and his employers find out and are furious. When they station goons outside his house, Bob seeks help from wealthy UFOlogist, John Lear, who encourages Bob to take his story to award-winning investigative journalist George Knapp at KLAS-TV, a CBS affiliate.

To prove he's telling the truth, Bob takes a group of people out into the desert to watch a test flight of the "flying saucer." On the way home, they are stopped by the police, who notify the base, and Bob loses his job. In a series of interviews with CBS TV, Bob Lazar then blows the lid off "Area 51," blows the whistle on the effort to conceal this craft from the American people, and blows up his career as a top physicist.

About Bob Lazar

Bob Lazar grew up in the city of Westbury on Long Island in New York, before moving to Chatsworth, California, where he earned a degree in physics at Cal Tech. He then moved to New Mexico where he studied at the Neutron Science Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory, home to one of the largest particle accelerators in the world.

After his series of television interviews revealing the work being done at Area 51 in the Nevada desert, Bob Lazar was effectively blacklisted from work in any major research facility. He nurtured his inner entrepreneur and now owns a scientific supply company. Ironically, two of his customers are Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Mind you, it’s one of the better fictions around concerning the matter of UFO conspiracy. Why - well, at first glance Lazar’s physics isn’t implausible; howev......more

Goodreads review by Scott on November 03, 2019

Well if Lazar is lying, he's a wonderfully consistent liar with one heck of an active imagination. I don't know if everything he recounts here is 100% the whole truth, but I think he's stating what he saw as accurately as he can.......more

Goodreads review by Jason on November 15, 2020

Since recent declassified documents revealed that Bob Lazar has been telling the truth all these years, I decided to read this book with a fresh eye on the alien/area-51 conspiracy. Wow. I want to know more, but I'm not sure we ever will. This book needed editing horribly. And if not for the interes......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on June 11, 2024

Never have I ever wanted a story to be true as strongly as I do with this one. Bob Lazar is the reason area-51 made it into popular culture, and recently reached mainstream news through a Facebook post with users planning to raid the location. Lazar also guested the Joe Rogan podcast and told his st......more
