Major Ed Dames warns of WWIII risks while linking bird flu outbreaks—10,000+ mysterious deaths in China—to economic collapse, as Art Bell transitions to Bob Lazar’s late-1980s Area 51 revelations. Lazar details nine alien craft using gravity-based propulsion via element 115, dismissed by skeptics like T. Townsend Brown but confirmed as the only proven method for real-time gravitational manipulation. He denies wild theories—hostages in a Roswell silo or death rays—while acknowledging classified projects and government secrecy, including a March 1980s underground explosion mislabeled as a nuclear test. Lazar’s skepticism extends even to his own past, yet his claims suggest humanity’s grasp of gravity tech remains decades behind extraterrestrial advancements, raising unsettling questions about military exploitation and the limits of disclosure.

Speaker Time Text
Dust on the Camera 00:05:07
unidentified
You're listening to the best of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell from the high desert and the great American Southwest.
art bell
I bid you all evening, morning, afternoon, whatever the case may be in whatever time zone you reside in.
unidentified
So prolifically out there.
art bell
We cover all of you and all of those time zones.
This is a program called Coast to Coast AM.
I'm Art Bell weekend version.
How you doing?
unidentified
I am great.
art bell
Well, in an hour, Major Ed Dames got an email from somebody here.
Last couple times that Major Dames was on your program, he predicted that the next economic malaise will come due to an avian-born illness, sort of like SARS.
Well, guess what?
There is a SARS bird-like flu infecting chickens all over the Far East.
And just today on the Drudge Report, there is a headline about the bird flu surfacing in Delaware.
True enough.
All true enough, and yes, he did say that.
In fact, let me give you a little preview of some of the things that Ed has decided he would like to talk about.
unidentified
How's that?
art bell
World War III.
unidentified
He says, it's really close.
art bell
In alien life forms, continued telepresence on Earth.
Now, that's kind of interesting.
I wonder what he means.
In alien life forms, telepresence on Earth.
SETI is looking in the wrong place, in the wrong way, he says.
Earth's most intelligent non-human life form.
You'll never guess, he says.
Very intelligent.
Does not like to cuddle.
I wonder what that could be.
The strange odd object on the surface of Mars.
Oh, yes, I want to talk about that anyway.
The photo.
He says that for him, when he wrote this, was a work in progress, and he may have it complete for us tonight.
Ghosts.
He's got something to say about ghosts and looming catastrophes of all sorts, crop failures, overlapping even the problem of the avian-born disease.
That was, by the way, for your reference, mentioned in his October 12th, 2000 appearance, 2003 appearance on this program.
Just in case you're keeping track.
Now, the photograph, the Mars photograph, yes, well, I'm looking at it right now.
Of course, it's on the website, coastcoastam.com.
And, you know, it purports to be in the excited eyes of the person seeing it, perhaps a UFO.
I don't know.
It could be dust.
It could be a flake of dust.
It could be a little dust on the camera.
It could be a pixel missing.
Any of the above, or it could be the mothership at 20 miles.
I have no idea.
Could be any of the above.
But there's not enough evidence beyond a speck there to go beyond that kind of speculation.
If you blow it up, it's kind of square, like a pixel-like it might be gone.
They've had problems like that before.
So I don't know.
Or dust.
I mean, why not?
There's no one to wipe it off up there.
Far as I know.
I have an outside camera and I keep it covered all the time, except when I'm, you know, trying to take night shots of the stars, something like that.
Then I uncover it.
That's it, though.
Rest of the time, it stays covered because of, guess what?
Dust.
We're out here in the desert.
We get a lot of it, and it looks just like that, potentially.
Actually, you know what?
It doesn't.
Speck of dust actually doesn't look like that.
Speck of dust actually wouldn't be seen because it would be out of focus.
It would appear more as sort of just a boy, everything wouldn't look quite right because it would be that much closer to the lens.
So probably not dust.
Maybe it is a mothership.
John Kerry coasted to victory in the main caucuses Sunday, wrapping up a three-state weekend sweep that pushed the Democratic frontrunner closer to that party's nomination.
And it was, of course, an awfully big disappointment for some.
Howard Dean, for example, who, well, it just didn't work out right for Howard Dean, did it?
President Bush went on the Sunday morning talk shows and denied that he marched America into war under false pretenses, said the U.S.-led invasion was necessary because Saddam Hussein could have developed a nuclear weapon.
Quote, I don't think America can stand by and hope for the best, end quote, President said.
Bush suggested Saddam may have destroyed or perhaps spirited out of the country the banned weapons.
Parrot's Unparalleled Power 00:05:32
art bell
Maybe.
But on the other hand, if you're about to have a war, you'd probably want to use them.
After an outbreak of avian influenza was discovered at a Delaware farm, state authorities have tested several nearby facilities but have not released the results.
Scientists will not release the results of a first round of tests until a second round is complete.
That worries me.
And this one dropped in my lap.
More than 10,000 birds died mysteriously in eastern China's Jingzhou province, dropping like rain from the sky, according to state media there on Thursday.
Farmers and other witnesses in a little village in Joshua City saw flocks of bramble finch suddenly fall from the sky on Tuesday.
This was in the Beijing Youth Daily.
Most of the birds were dead when they hit the ground.
Some were injured.
The birds look like sparrows.
They're small in size.
Officials from the local Center for Disease Prevention and Control rushed to that scene.
Samples from the birds were taken to a lab in nearby Nanjing City for testing to determine the cause of their in-flight, for the most part, death.
So that, you know, I mean, they'll look at contamination problems in their food or water or the environment, but with all the bird news going around, that's pretty damn weird, if you ask me.
This is so that you know, I'm not making these things up.
The following is from the BBC.
The finding of a parrot with an almost unparalleled power to communicate with people, listen please closely to this story.
This is unparalleled power to communicate with people, has brought scientists up short.
The bird, a native African gray called Nikesi, has a vocabulary of 950 words and shows signs of a sense of humor.
He invents his own words and phrases if he's confronted with, this is so important, he makes up his own words and phrases if he's confronted with novel ideas with which his existing repertoire cannot cope, just like a child, a human child would do.
Nikesi's remarkable abilities, which are said to include ready for this, telepathy, are featured in the latest BBC Wildlife magazine.
Nikesi is believed to be one of the most advanced users of human language in the animal world.
About, now here's a fact that will surprise you: about 100 words are needed for half of all reading in English.
Did you know that?
Only 100 words are needed for half of all the reading we do in English.
So if Nikesi could read, he'd be able to cope with a wide range of material.
Polished wordsmith.
He uses words, listen to me, in context with past, present, and future tenses, and is often inventive.
One Nikesi-ism was flawed, F-L-I-E-D for flu, and another pretty smell medicine to describe the aromatherapy oils used by his owner, an artist based in New York.
When he first met Dr. Jane Goodall, this is going to rock you back.
The renowned chimpanzee expert, after seeing her in a picture with apes, Nikese said, got a chimp.
He appears to fancy himself as a humorist.
When another parrot hung upside down from its perch, he commented, You got to put this bird on the camera.
Down from its perch, he commented.
You got to put this bird on the camera.
Dr. Goodall says Nikesi's verbal fireworks are a quote outstanding example of interspecies communication.
In an experiment, the bird and his owner were put in separate rooms and filmed as the artist opened random envelopes containing picture cards.
Analysis showing the parrot had used appropriate keywords three times more often than could possibly be likely by chance.
Now, this is so if you want to find this, the BBC is publishing this, and it's incredible.
I mean, what does this say about a bird?
A bird that can think in past tense, current tense, future tense.
What does that imply?
A sense of humor.
On Obtainium 00:09:44
art bell
What does that imply?
unidentified
In a bird.
art bell
What does that mean?
The ability to communicate at this level in sentences, what does that mean about the animals that we have all around us?
Well, last night, the African general, by the way, if you didn't hear that interview, you really, really, really have to go back to the archives and listen to the interview of the African general last night, who he claims he is the man who ordered the shootdown of the UFO over South Africa that Bob Lazar, he suggests, later saw with a dent in it toward the back of the hangar.
Well, here's an interesting little diddy for you.
The following from the Associated Press.
Does it get any better?
Russian and American scientists say they have created two new super heavy elements that will reside at the extreme end of chemistry's periodic table of elements.
Now, I'm going to stop reading here.
You remember Element 115?
Think back.
How many of you remember?
Element 115 was the fuel that was described as powering the alien spacecraft.
That's what Element 115 was.
Now, resuming this story, just a few atoms of the newly discovered elements 113 and 115 existed for split seconds after being created in a particle accelerator.
They represent unusual forms of matter with properties that go well beyond those of the 92 elements that occur naturally on Earth.
Super heavies, as they're so-called, may be abundantly generated by supernova explosions in stars.
Perhaps they were fused during the fiery moments that signaled the dawn of the universe itself, but here on the ground, such tiny amounts of super heavies formed in atom smashers probably will never find an everyday use.
And I'm going to jump ahead a little in the article.
In the experiments, researchers fired a rare isotope of calcium at a target made from americurium.
The new element 115 was created on occasions when the nuclei of the calcium and the americurium fused.
In the artificial environments of the cyclotron, atoms of element 115, now labeled brace yourself on obtanium.
unidentified
I swear to God, it's true.
art bell
On obtanium.
In what was it, this latest Journey to the Center of the Earth movie?
unidentified
Damn it.
art bell
What was the name of that movie?
Anyway, the element that was used in the machine to drill into the core.
The core.
Yes, the core.
Thank you.
Echoes in the background, and you hear the door closing.
That's Ramona.
The core.
In the core, the fuel used to drill into the core, the center of the earth, was unobtainium.
Anyway, this is real science.
They've done it.
They have one element, they have a brand new element, 115, and they're calling it on obtainium.
I'm laughing because of the collision, the incredible collision of science fiction and science almost every day.
Amerisium, that's it.
That's how you pronounce it.
Actually, named after America, I guess, americium.
So when you take the nuclei of calcium and americium, and they're fused, boom, you have unobtanium and element 115.
Element 115, I mean, just doesn't it blow you away a little bit that what was science fiction or said to be truth but not believed so long ago?
Now I mean, here it is on obtanium.
All right, open lines.
Uh, let's do open lines.
Uh, in in the next hour, of course, major Ed Dames, and on the first time, caller line, you are on the air.
Hello, hello Art.
unidentified
This is Steve in Indianapolis listening on WIBC 1070.
Yes sir, it's a big thrill to be talking to you.
You're, you're a really great man, thank you.
I had an experience a couple weeks ago.
After staying up late listening to your show, came home from work on Monday.
I got home about 5 p.m, felt really dog tired, got in the shower shaved left, you know, put out water and food for my cats and went to sleep.
Slept really hard, had some really vivid dreams.
Woke up feeling totally refreshed.
Expected it to be about 9.30 or 10 at night.
Fell asleep about 5.30.
I get up, go in the bathroom, look.
There's like a 5 o'clock shadow.
Cats have drank most of the water, eaten most of the food.
Ooh.
Which, you know, takes them half a day to do.
Look at my watch, and it's 6.30.
art bell
Time slip.
unidentified
Yeah.
Have you heard of that before?
art bell
You're damn right.
Yes.
I've had some friends and other calls and emails, and people have had time slips.
I had a couple of young ladies on here not long ago who thought they had one.
I guess they didn't.
Or they actually insist they did.
But yeah, I've heard a lot about this kind of thing.
So maybe a time slip, sir.
Any other physical effects or anything different other than that?
unidentified
No, it was just.
art bell
Okay, then you had a time slip.
And I know they happen.
I don't know why they happen.
They just happen.
And by the way, that brings me back to the very first thing you said when you got on the phone.
You thanked me for being a great man.
Well, I'm not a great man.
I'm a talk show host.
There are many great men, but being a talk show host doesn't qualify you as that.
Not a great man.
I'm just a talk show host.
Wild Carline, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Hello.
Yes, you are there.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
This is Jim.
Listen to you on XM.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Long time listener.
Really enjoyed your show.
I believe I started listening about 93, 94.
I believe the first show I ever listened to was with your interview with Father Malachi Martin.
art bell
Oh, yes, of course.
unidentified
Hooked me from the start.
But last night, your conversation with that brigadier general found that to be really amazing.
art bell
It was really amazing.
You have no idea how amazing it was.
I mean, I had a man who I couldn't tell the network I was going to be on because I didn't want traces to occur.
And I knew that if I advertised what I was going to do, and it really was true, that then word would get out ahead of time, and this man's life could be in danger.
So I did not announce it.
I just did it.
unidentified
Right.
Do you remember what year he said all this took place?
I couldn't remember if he said 83 or 93.
art bell
He said 82.
unidentified
82.
Okay, that's what I was thinking because he was talking about the way the gasoline engines wouldn't perform.
art bell
That's right.
unidentified
And at that time, all these.
art bell
But the diesel would.
unidentified
Right.
And at that time, all diesel engines were mechanical.
They weren't controlled by electricity.
And gasoline engines are.
So that could have been one thing right there.
art bell
Listen, the whole thing, thank you.
It was a very serious interview, a very serious interview.
Now you can reject it or you can embrace it.
But as I reflected on it, I didn't find anything to have immediate conflict with.
And it's like everything else.
People will try and pick things apart.
People have done a little picking on that, but not much.
For the most part, people, in fact, that is now already, and we're not even how many hours away from it?
It's already the most requested re-interview and replay.
That interview is not going to happen.
It's not going to just happen.
This man is on the run.
So that's something that has to get set up ahead of time, and I'm not in control of that.
Yes, I could conceivably schedule the man for an entire program if there was that much more to tell and only he knows that.
With the given time last night, we told the story, I thought, in quite reasonable detail, but it may well be.
That Sounded Pretty Doggone Real 00:03:39
art bell
It may be.
I'm not saying it is, but it may be that there are little important details that he could yet add to that story that would give us more information to go, I don't know, check the story out or whatever.
But it was told, I thought, with credibility from just about every single point of view.
Now, it's always possible that he certainly believes it to be true at this point, because it sounded that way, didn't it?
But even after that, it may not be.
However, having listened, I give it the edge of, hey, you know what?
That sounded pretty doggone real to me.
From the high desert in the middle of the night, this is Coast to Coast AM.
I'm Art Bell, right here in the darkness where I belong.

It is indeed good evening.
We're in the middle of Open Lines.
Anything you want to talk about is fair game.
So if it's interesting, riveting, we're ready for you.
coming up in a moment.
Stay right there.
Let's rock.
Open lines promised.
Open lines right here.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Hello?
Going once?
Gone.
Welcome to the Rockies.
You're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
Hi.
Yeah, I have a couple of questions about last night's show.
Sure.
All right.
First question was: how is it that with our primitive technology, we seem to be able to shoot down UFOs?
It just seems inconceivable to me that we would be able to do something like that.
And what your guest was talking about last night isn't the first time I've heard about something like that.
art bell
Well, all right.
Let's review what he said.
He said that we didn't have any aircraft, or they didn't have any aircraft because it was South Africa, that had conventional arms on board.
Remote Viewing Fears 00:15:55
art bell
They had an experimental laser, a laser weapon on board, an experimental laser weapon.
That's what they shot it down with.
Did you catch that part?
unidentified
No, I picked it up at the middle.
He was already on.
I got you.
art bell
Okay, yeah.
It was an experimental laser because that's all they had in the air because their other aircraft were diverted to a Russian presence off the coast.
unidentified
Okay.
And the second question is your second guest, the ones that recorded the dead.
Yes.
You know, several years ago, there used to be all this controversy about backward masking on record albums and people playing records backwards to hear messages.
art bell
I was just wondering.
unidentified
Right.
I was just wondering if they had ever done that with their tapes, played any of them backwards or sped them up or slowed them down to see if they were getting messages both forward and reverse.
art bell
Well, my first observation would be: it's hard enough to hear them going one way.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
But you have a point, and reverse speech is and always has been an intriguing pseudoscience.
unidentified
Right, especially those that they thought were Indian Native American languages.
art bell
It'd be worth a try.
I mean, they could, you know, it's a lot to tackle.
I mean, they're tackling hearing voices from the other side already.
So to spread it over into reverse speech would be quite a trip, but what the heck?
Someone will do it, I'm sure.
unidentified
Thanks, Arc.
art bell
All right, you're very welcome, and thank you for calling.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
bob lazar
Hi, all right.
unidentified
This is Blair and Sedona.
art bell
Hey, Blair.
Hi.
unidentified
When you were talking about telepathy in the Brits, it brought up your May 16th, 2002 interview with Ingo Swan, the father of remote viewing.
I think that's what you called him.
art bell
Well, he is a father of remote viewing.
He's also said to be by remote viewers the most talented natural psychic in the world.
unidentified
Hey, well, listen, then correct me if I'm wrong.
He and his mentor, I think Dr. Hal Putoff, were disengaged from the government remote viewing projects when I guess a fear of the telepathic nature of such an operation became sort of apparent, you know?
art bell
I think it was the fear of remote influencing.
That's my belief.
You know what that is, right?
unidentified
Well.
art bell
In other words, if you can remote view something, then perhaps you can take your mind and that power and use it to affect the thinking of another person.
Now, imagine how much that would scare the hell out of anybody, that somebody might reach into your mind and virtually direct how you think.
unidentified
Ah, but that's fear versus love.
And if you're in a love state, you know, I guess we are sort of like our bodies and minds are like a life support system, and they have these software programs, you know, mental software programs, you know, either, you know, the radio, TV, the whatever.
And I sort of looked at it as sort of a threat to the status quo that wants to have secrecy just to keep themselves in power.
It's as simple as that.
art bell
Well, that's because that's exactly what they do.
The government trades its stock and trade is secrecy, my friend.
Well, okay.
So, you know, anybody who could read minds would scare the heck out of them.
unidentified
Yeah, I guess we'd have to have, I guess Ingo Swan said something about coherency.
He said, you know, when you talk about the power of prayer or super consciousness and the things that change the future, it has to be coherent.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And so we got a situation where a lot of incoherency is sort of manifested.
I mean, you just look at the local news.
I mean, everything is fear, and it's about be afraid of this and be afraid of that.
And so nobody's really coherently focusing on anything positive.
art bell
Well, that's exactly correct, and it's a great worry of mine.
I'm a really firm believer in this whole mass consciousness thing, and one of my biggest concerns is whether the possibility may exist that focusing on the negative will, in fact, precipitate the negative, and that it's all a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You can't rule it out.
unidentified
That's true.
I guess so it really comes down to the individuals.
I guess if we get a critical mass, as Buck Mr. Fuller said, of individuals first, you know, taking care of it, then we can get to business, huh?
art bell
That's it.
unidentified
Well, cool.
I hope you get some positive stuff out of Mr. Dames tonight.
Thanks for your time.
art bell
Well, you're very welcome, but I don't know that I'd be putting my money in the bank on that one.
They don't.
Well, you know, his nickname is not there per chance.
Dr. Doom.
Dr. Doom, they call him.
Now, he got the avian thing right.
And no, he hasn't yet gotten everything right, but a lot of things they say he got wrong.
He didn't because they haven't happened yet.
Timelines being the most difficult thing to cover with remote viewing.
But look, I'll tell you something about Ed Dames.
Number one, he's exactly who he says he is.
I've read his military record, STEM to Stern.
There's no bull there.
He did what he said he did.
He was a training officer in the CIA program.
He did that.
So take that one as word of somebody who's read his military record, the whole damn thing.
He sent it to me.
So you can choose not to believe some of it, if you wish, but not his credentials.
They certainly are authentic.
And some of what he said, quite a bit, actually, has come to pass.
Now, people don't like to remember those things, and they definitely don't like Ed, or at least a lot of people don't, because he is kind of on the negative side.
Kind of.
That's why they call him Dr. Doom.
On the first time, Color Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello?
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Hey, Art.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Art, this is EJ in San Antonio with WOAR.
art bell
WOAI, the great monster on 1200 in San Antonio, one of the world's strongest radio stations.
unidentified
It is.
It definitely is.
I'm not a long-time listener.
Just my wife got me involved with you.
And since that happened, I can't put you down.
I mean, it's a great show, and I'm just glad that you're back on the weekends.
But anyway, I was calling this mentioning about the fact that doing an interview with President Bush and Tim Russett, that Tim asked him about the Skull and Bones, and he just refused the answer.
art bell
And I thought I want to talk about including his military record, for example.
unidentified
Exactly.
But the thing is that, you know, that would have gone, I think that gone over a lot of people's heads.
Didn't even understand what they were talking about as far as skull and bone.
That's the very coast to coast.
art bell
Yeah, a lot of people on this program know exactly what that's all about.
unidentified
And also, too, I like it, if I may just say one thing.
You are a great person.
You're a great communicator.
You're educating a lot of people.
You're awakening a lot of individuals.
And I tell you what, don't stop doing what you're doing.
art bell
All right, Art.
unidentified
You're doing a great job.
art bell
Thank you very much.
That's very kind.
But look, all right, here we go again.
Listen to me.
I am not a great person.
That's all.
I mean, not in the sense of great people as I understand them to be.
Men who are nation changers, men who bring peace to the world, men who go to the moon.
Men, you know, the normal, or men who rush into burning buildings.
I'm a talk show host.
That's a talent, and I wouldn't dare put myself in the category of great person.
Not talented, maybe, certainly with a great talent toward the kind of work I do.
But great person, that's a special category.
And, you know, it's like people fly to the moon, people who lead countries and change the world.
These are great people.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello.
penned patriot in vegas
Yes, good evening, Art.
art bell
Good evening, sir.
penned patriot in vegas
I just wanted to offer a possible correction regarding a caller you had earlier talking about your interview last night.
art bell
Okay.
penned patriot in vegas
His recollection was that the Brigadier General said this occurred in 1982.
art bell
Yes.
Well, that was my recollection, actually.
penned patriot in vegas
Well, I listened to the whole thing, and I really could have sworn that he said 1992.
art bell
You know, I mean, a slip like that, maybe I made it.
I wrote down, I actually wrote down 1982 when he said it.
So I was pretty sure I had it right.
But hey, hey, I could be wrong.
penned patriot in vegas
Well, yeah, the thing that caught me about is I was thinking that, you know, this is about the time that we were having a lot of problems over there when we sent our military in as well.
art bell
Well, there certainly, yes, there certainly have been lots and lots of problems in Africa, haven't there?
Civil war, and as he discussed last night, you know, I'm sure they were out hunting guerrillas, you know, on a daily, everyday basis.
It was an amazing interview.
I mean, it was an amazing interview, and I hope you understand over there at the network why I didn't tell you about it.
You have somebody who says their life is in danger and they don't want to be advertised.
Well, that's what you do.
That's all there is to it.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, all right.
unidentified
Hi.
I just went, Bruce from Calling from Toronto.
art bell
Toronto.
Ah, yes.
unidentified
Yes, the land of the frozen chosen.
Frozen.
art bell
Chosen.
unidentified
I don't know what we've been chosen for, but I guess it's the deep freeze.
art bell
That's cool, though.
unidentified
Anyway, it's not quite as cool as it was a couple of weeks ago.
But the guy you had on last night, the South African general, supposedly, did you check out his credentials?
art bell
Oh, no, and there'd be no way in God's Green Earth I could do that either.
I got an email, which I read to you.
That's how much I knew.
Based on that email, I said, wow.
And I made a call, and the one man connected me to the other man, and I went from there.
And that was like yesterday afternoon.
And then last night I had him on the air without warning on purpose.
And that's it.
You now know as much as I do, including the interview.
unidentified
Right.
But in that kind of situation, wouldn't you maybe want to take a few days just to see if he was who he said he was?
art bell
Nah.
His story was good.
No, no, no.
On this program, it's just like, hey, just like, how long did I take with you?
unidentified
Well, I know, but I'm not a guest on your show.
art bell
Well, yeah, but he was on a, look, the guy sent me an email.
It was from an email.
It's like picking up a call here.
It's like you right now.
I didn't say hello, did I?
You just, boom, went on the air, right?
unidentified
Yeah, that's right.
Okay.
Also, I was wondering, you had a guest on a few years ago, speaking of these kind of people.
This was the guy who said, he said his dog was killed by an alien, and then he in turn killed the alien and stuck him in his freezer.
art bell
Dr. Reed.
unidentified
Yeah, whatever happened to him anyway.
Did you ever like, well, I haven't heard anything about him.
art bell
Okay, well, then to catch you up, there are those who say it's all big fraud.
That Dr. Reed and somebody else are up, I can't remember, like in the Seattle area or in somewhere in Washington, and they think it's a big fraud.
I thought the story was superb myself.
I thought the pictures were pretty convincing, but maybe the whole thing's untrue.
See, that's the whole point of this program, and it kind of goes to what you said earlier.
You see, this is a we just do it kind of show.
There are occasions where we have very planned guests, but otherwise, folks, just like I pick your call up, unscreened calls means unscreened calls.
unidentified
Boom!
art bell
You're on the air.
And what you hear is for your edification with the always repeated warning.
What you hear may not be true.
The person on the other end may be lying.
It could be the truth right down the line, or it could be a hoax.
There's no way to know.
And you're adults, right?
You can make your own judgments.
And so that's the kind of program this is.
And it's the only kind of its category.
As far as I know, there's nothing else like this in the world.
Is there?
Welcome to the Rockies.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Hey, Art.
unidentified
It's Greg in Los Angeles.
art bell
Hello, Greg.
unidentified
And I've been listening to you since that first John Lear interview where he said to not go towards the light after you die.
art bell
God, that's a long time ago.
unidentified
Oh, it sure is.
I was wondering.
art bell
And it still bothers me just as much, too.
unidentified
It bothers me.
Yeah, it bothers me.
I think about it a lot.
But, you know, Ed Dames, how do you know that he's not out there to spread disinformation?
don't and you know no you don't Yeah, he says a lot of suspect things.
art bell
Yeah, I know, but you remember when he talked about the avian flu coming?
unidentified
Yeah, but.
art bell
The bird thing?
Boom.
unidentified
I know, but Art.
I mean, 44 dead microbiologists since 9-11.
Yeah?
And how do you know that?
art bell
What does that tell you?
unidentified
That something's going on.
What it is, who knows?
But, I mean, why don't he ask Ed what he would think about people remote viewing him?
art bell
Well, there's a thought.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Maybe all of his students turning on him.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Like so many vipers.
unidentified
Ripping his brain apart.
Yeah.
Well, when you had Son David Morton on not too long ago, that's exactly his thought on it was exactly mine.
Is that it's a black op.
art bell
Oh, I see.
All right.
Well, hey, maybe.
Who's to say?
Sure, it could be.
It could be something cooked up in a lab somewhere.
Could be a lot of things.
This is one weird world we live in right now, isn't it?
And I knew these things were coming, too.
Nor does that make me a great man.
I knew that these weather changes, these problems with species hopping, I knew all of this was coming.
Don't ask me how.
I just knew.
And that's what caused me to sit down and write the books I wrote.
So I think we all have that, though.
I think all of you, to some degree, are sensitive.
And if you deal in this material all the time, it forces you to think about this kind of thing, right?
And the more you think about it, the more likely you're going to seem like an intuitive, even though I don't claim the first thing about being intuitive.
Blessed of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Hello.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
My mom used to tell me that my brother.
I'm sorry, my radio is on.
art bell
Okay, turn it off.
It'll make you sound silly.
unidentified
Yeah, it's the first time I've actually been on the air, so it's kind of confusing.
Anyways, my mom used to tell me that when her father, who has passed away, my brother was younger, and my brother would talk to my grandfather and tell him stuff about my mom that he would have never known because he was like really young, like one or two.
art bell
You mean like contemporary stuff that he couldn't have known?
Precognitive Parrots 00:03:10
unidentified
Yeah, he would tell him like where my grandmother had been to the grocery store or something that happened in her life that he would never have known about.
art bell
I've got you.
I know.
I know.
Same problem with my guests last night and the work they do.
They get all kinds of contemporary information, and that's really scary.
It is scary to me because, you know, when you're trying to sit and decide what it's like on the other side, and the other side is telling us things that are going on now or will go on.
unidentified
Exactly.
art bell
Well, yeah, exactly.
That's right.
unidentified
The other thing is, my mom has been doing some really weird stuff lately.
She's been, like the other day, actually, it was last week.
She was in her room and she was trying to fix a blind, and she was going to get up on the arm of the chair.
And as she put one foot up on the chair, she thought to herself, this is dumb.
I tell my kids not to do this all the time.
I'm going to hurt myself.
And as she was getting down, she lost her balance and sprained her ankle.
Yes.
art bell
So you got to wonder, did she have some sort of precognitive experience suggesting to her she was about to hurt herself?
Yeah, I don't know.
Or is it just mom listening to what mom says?
Maybe.
unidentified
But she's seen other weird stuff.
Like we had the cedar fire down here in California a couple months ago.
Sure.
She knew something was the matter when she saw it blaze over that hill, so we started packing and we left.
art bell
Well, that's usually a key to, hey, we're in trouble there when you see the entire hillside on fire behind your orange or something against the night sky.
Even the most primitive creatures know what that means.
But humans do have precognitive experiences, and maybe even parrots.
I thought this story from the BBC about Nikesi, the parrot, was outstanding.
I mean, a parrot who thinks in the past, the present, and the future can construct sentences, if not small paragraphs, and responds and has a sense of humor.
Now, think about what that means if birds, and they're not exactly the top of the mammal chain, right?
unidentified
Have that sort of intelligence.
art bell
Or is it just that one parrot?
unidentified
Get that stupid stinking human hand off me!
Maybe one day.

From coast to coast and worldwide on the internet, this is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.
art bell
It absolutely is.
It's the weekend, everybody, and you're off.
And boy, do I have a guest for you, Bob Lazar.
He is a man who is probably one of the more controversial people in the entire field of ufology.
I mean, really controversial.
Bob Lazar is president of United Nuclear.
They specialize in research and development of cutting-edge technologies, design and manufacture of radiation detection equipment for the nuclear weapons industry and the retail of scientific equipment and supplies.
He was formerly senior staff physicist for the U.S. Department of Naval Intelligence at the Nevada test site, you know that area near me, and the nuclear physicist at Los Alamos National Labs, where he was involved in advanced nuclear weapon design and development.
And in the middle of all that, he's seen things that very few living Americans have ever seen.
He's actually seen the ships.
He's actually seen the saucers.
In a moment, Bob Lazar, who I know probably didn't hear the first program or the last program, I guess I had to say.
I did with Bob Lazar.
He is a fascinating guy who got to see the real McCoy at Area S4 near, of course, the infamous Area 51.
I guess it was last few weeks ago now, I interviewed our mutual friend, John Lear.
Oh, what an interview that was, Bob.
It was really something.
Welcome to the program.
bob lazar
Well, thanks, all right.
art bell
Gee, Bob, you know what?
I'm going to start at the end.
Why do you hate talking about UFOs?
bob lazar
Well, there's a few reasons.
First of all, it's gotten pretty old.
It's been, you know, over a decade.
And second of all, yeah, I'm glad I was involved in the project for a short time.
But, you know, once you leave that and try and enter normal life, especially if you're peddling your services in research and development, the scientific field, it becomes really tough for people to take you seriously when you're known as the UFO guy.
So it's just hard to kind of divorce all that stuff.
art bell
That's kind of the same problem that John Lear had, you know, when he was working for the airlines.
It finally got to the point where he had to say no more.
And for years, of course, he didn't talk at all.
bob lazar
Right.
I know he had a lot of problems with that.
And I don't know.
That's something people just don't take into account.
art bell
Got fired, actually got fired because of it from one airline.
bob lazar
Yeah, that's right.
art bell
That's what I heard.
How do you now remember that special year with John, or maybe it was more than a year, but the period of time you spent with John and you went through all of that?
How do you now remember that?
Do you remember it fondly?
Do you remember it as something you wish you hadn't done or what?
bob lazar
Oh, no, those are fond memories.
It was fun and exciting back then, you know, before all the problems started and all the hassles from the feds and whatnot.
But, yeah, back in the early days before all this became popular in Area 51 was on the tip of everybody's tongue.
You know, we were sneaking around out there when there were minimal security and whatnot.
And I had the test flight schedule at that time, so we knew exactly what was going to happen and what was going on.
art bell
Well, you know what I'd like to know?
Why did you, I mean, you at that time had a pretty damn good, secure job at an extremely secret place.
What made you decide to grab John by the collar and say, hey, buddy, I can show you something?
I mean, how did you make that choice?
bob lazar
I have to place myself back in that time.
Well, that's kind of a loaded question because there was a lot of stuff going on at that time.
And I kind of make a long story short.
At the time they were just calling me out usually at night on specific days to go out there when I initially started working down at the test site.
And this was causing problems with my wife at the time because I was keeping everything confidential, even from her.
Sure.
And here 11 or 12 o'clock at night, I get this call and I disappear.
And this happens time and time again.
art bell
Where are you going, honey?
I'm sorry I can't talk about that.
unidentified
Right.
bob lazar
Yeah, I'm going to work.
I'm sure you are.
And as this goes on for quite a while, suspicions begin to build up.
And, you know, I kind of kept my friends at arm's length at that time because I just didn't want any problems.
I wanted all the, you know, this newfound security to go smoothly.
Sure.
And was pretty much playing with the game.
So it started causing suspicion in my friends and, you know, immediate family and that sort of thing.
So I decided to take the risk one night and just bring everybody out close enough to where they could see a test flight when I knew a test flight was going on.
art bell
Yeah, but you had to know what you were risking, right?
bob lazar
Oh, I did.
And, you know, I can't really say what the actual motivation was back then, you know, specifically what made it, you know, what made me snap on that day.
art bell
Were you angry at them?
Were you showing off?
bob lazar
No, not at that point.
art bell
Were you showing off?
There's nothing wrong with that, by the way.
I mean, if that's what it was, that's what it was.
I mean, I can understand.
bob lazar
No, it really wasn't that, you know, and that would actually be an easy answer.
But it really wasn't that.
If I recall, we didn't start butting heads until after that.
art bell
Right.
bob lazar
But that was about it.
I think it was to alleviate suspicion and show, you know, several of my friends what was going on.
art bell
What was really going on?
Yeah.
How much during those sojourns, how much did you actually get to see along with John?
bob lazar
While we were out of the area or while I was actually working there in the area?
art bell
Well, yeah, they're two separate things.
No, I meant when you took John and others up there.
Is what you saw, was it convincing for those who came along with you?
There was no question in their mind about what they were seeing.
bob lazar
Oh, no, there was no question.
I mean, John hauled out his, even though we got much closer in than you can today near the area.
Well, I have no idea what it's like today, but at least when I was last in Las Vegas a few years ago, you really couldn't get very far out on the road.
But we drove in close to 10 miles, and you can't do that anymore.
But John hauled out his Celestron 10-inch telescope, and from there it was quite a view.
Mysterious Saucer Flight Patterns 00:10:50
art bell
And you were seeing saucers.
bob lazar
A saucer, yeah.
art bell
A saucer.
Hovering, moving.
unidentified
Yeah.
bob lazar
Just lifted off the ground and hovered around.
art bell
Do you have any idea?
Now, of course, you actually it's another story, but I mean you of course got in to see the real McCoy.
You saw how many saucers ultimately at S4?
bob lazar
Well, there were nine total.
art bell
Nine total.
bob lazar
But you know, these were seen at a distance.
The only one I actually had direct contact with was the one that was being test-flown.
art bell
Uh-huh.
Do you have any idea how they sufficiently back-engineered whatever in the hell they found inside that saucer to be able to test fly it?
Do you have any idea what went on to learn about I mean, there must have been I mean, what was it like inside, inside this thing?
What was it like?
If you were standing there looking at it inside, what would you be seeing?
bob lazar
Well, I guess the most shocking thing about it is it was everything was one color.
There was no aesthetics at all.
Everything was a light gray.
And it was as if, and I've said this before, it was as if the entire device was made out of, carved out of wax, heated for a bit and cooled off.
There were no sharp edges, no right angles.
Everything was rounded and smooth, both inside and out.
There are no seams or anything like that.
art bell
Like it had been done from a mold or something?
bob lazar
Right, like a giant injection mold of some sort.
But so that's it.
It's yeah, I mean that was probably the most obvious thing you'd notice when you walk in there.
It just didn't look conventional at all.
art bell
Any idea, again, I mean, from that, could you see but what how did they navigate this thing?
Were there buttons?
were there joysticks, were there, what sort of...
bob lazar
I have no idea.
art bell
No idea.
And so you would have no idea then how they back-engineered.
It would have to be a pretty dangerous thing to take a craft that you just had and try to figure out how to fly the damn thing.
bob lazar
I imagine so, and from the stories I've heard, that it was quite a dangerous thing.
But unfortunately, a lot of this went on way before I ever got there.
And obviously, they had at least found out to some extent how some of the systems and subsystems operated.
art bell
Do you know how they got their hands on these in the first place?
I mean, how did they get them?
bob lazar
I don't know.
I don't know.
Unfortunately, a lot of the information is compartmentalized, so nobody has, no one person has the whole story about everything.
And that's typically done in any government project.
art bell
Absolutely.
bob lazar
So nobody can walk away with the whole project or knowledge of everything.
But I wish I had the complete picture of what was going on.
Even just smaller pieces to the picture I did have.
I would be very interested in how the navigational system operated.
unidentified
That still kind of puzzles me.
bob lazar
As do flight controls and things of that sort.
art bell
And propulsion?
This element, what is it, 116?
unidentified
115.
art bell
Yeah, 115.
115.
Do you have any concept of how the propulsion system did what it did?
I know how a jet plane moves from A to B and so forth and so on.
I mean, how was this element 115 used to move the craft?
What kind of propulsion system is it?
bob lazar
It's a gravity propulsion system, something that's completely alien to us, if you don't mind me saying that.
art bell
That's a good word.
bob lazar
Instead of an action-reaction system, I guess the the analogy I always use is if you go put a bowling ball in the middle of your bed and three feet away from it, push your fist into the bed and push down really hard, the bowling ball rolls towards it.
art bell
That's correct.
bob lazar
And what happens in these craft, well, in this particular one anyway, there were three gravity amplifiers in them.
And what these are are long tubes that are in the belly of the craft.
And they're on kind of a universal pivot type joint to make it simple.
It's actually something more complicated than that.
But what they can do is swing two of the emitters up at one time, focus on a point in front of the crass, and cause a local distortion.
And essentially, the craft moves forward towards it, just like the bowling ball would.
art bell
So it's falling into a path it's making for itself.
bob lazar
Right.
It's kind of constantly rolling downhill, so to speak.
unidentified
Yeah.
bob lazar
Which is the opposite of how our vehicles travel.
We always accelerate air, throw exhaust out the back, do something to propel something forward and in the air anyway.
And this essentially operates the opposite.
art bell
Now, is it dependent on a local field of gravity?
In other words, obviously these ships are designed to fly through interstellar space.
And I wonder what if they're using gravity in that manner, then how does local gravity, I wonder, affect them?
In other words, the Earth has gravity, and when they're within our field, is it any different than when they're in interstellar space in terms of the way it operates?
bob lazar
Yeah, completely.
There's two different modes of travel.
There's delta and omicron.
art bell
Oh?
bob lazar
And the omicron configuration is when the craft uses one of the emitters to essentially hover on and causes that local distortion with the other two in front of it, causing it to move forward.
art bell
This is something I've never heard before.
Okay.
bob lazar
The delta configuration, in fact, let me take a step back for a second.
That's how the craft is flown in an area of gravity.
Now, when you want to leave a local area of gravity, say you'd fly into space, what is done is you transition from Omicron to Delta.
And in a lot of the UFO pictures you see occasionally, you'll see these UFOs at these ridiculous angles at 45-degree angles hanging in the middle of the air.
unidentified
Sure.
bob lazar
And the reason for that is that's the transition between the two different flight modes.
As the craft lifts off the ground, it has to fly in a gravity-free environment in space with the belly forward.
It doesn't fly like a flying saucer does in a science fiction movie.
The emitters focus on one point, all three of them out in space, and that's how the thing travels.
So you're kind of going from a conventional mode of flight, lifting up in the air, raising the belly, and then aiming that towards your target, and that's how you progress.
art bell
Bob, knowing what you know about at least the propulsion system, what can you imagine that might go wrong and cause a craft to crash as it allegedly did, for example, at Roswell?
bob lazar
You know, I've wondered about that for a while, and I really can't see how one of these things could crash.
But apparently it did.
But I just I can't see where a failure is going to typically occur.
I don't care if there's a lightning storm or what locally is going on unless there was something that occurred within the craft.
I don't think there's any external force that's going to act on it, certainly any natural force, and cause any problems, because if you're generating your own gravitational field, you're essentially immune to everything that's going on around you.
art bell
If that field should fail for some marine.
bob lazar
Well, yeah, that's why I say if some defect occurred inside, or if something was done unintentionally as far as piloting the craft, that I could see happening.
But I don't buy the story, somebody comes cruising in from 30 light years away, runs into a thunderstorm, and crashes into the ground.
art bell
Yeah, you bet.
Are you convinced that Roswell was in fact a crash of an alien craft?
bob lazar
No.
art bell
Oh, really?
Now, there's a surprise.
bob lazar
Well, you used the word convinced.
art bell
Well, I know.
bob lazar
There's a lot of information that leads me to believe that, but, you know, I'm one of the most skeptical people when it comes to flying saucer stories.
And I know that almost sounds hypocritical, but that's just the way it is.
Becoming involved with one aspect of it kind of cemented that in my mind.
But, you know, boy, there's lots of wacko stories out there, and I'm sure you've heard your share of them, maybe more than anybody.
art bell
Perhaps I have.
But, you know, if this propulsion system, I mean, it could mean so much for the world.
If we knew how to manipulate gravity in that way, that obviously would be a power source that could be harnessed and utilized in a world where we're running out of coal and oil and all the conventional stuff we've used.
We really badly need another energy source.
If, I mean, when you saw these saucers, it was how many years ago now?
bob lazar
Well, it was in 88, 89.
art bell
88, 89.
And now, 2003, we're starving for energy.
We're probably going to have wars.
Well, we are having wars because of it, and there'll be more wars because of it.
So why do you suppose, Bob, that all of this has been kept from the world?
bob lazar
I don't know.
There's also, you know, there's also a tremendous weapon potential here.
art bell
That too.
bob lazar
You know, a tremendous weapon potential, maybe more so than energy, because as far as duplicating the power system, well, you need access to materials, elements, things of that sort that we simply don't have and cannot fabricate.
New Fighter's Gravity Secret 00:15:16
art bell
Well, you know they'd be making weapons.
bob lazar
Well, yeah, of course.
Of course.
You know, if you can control, I think I said this on my last interview with you.
You know, we have devices that can produce magnetic fields.
We have devices that can produce artificial light.
But, you know, the big gap is we don't have a machine that can make gravity.
You know, there's nothing that does that.
Well, even that's a big gap in physics.
art bell
Or we haven't made it public.
And the question is, why is this technology still buried?
I tell you what, we're at the bottom of the air.
Hold on, Bob.
We'll come back and we'll jump right back into this same place.
It's what Dr. Greer, who, by the way, will be here tomorrow night.
A lot of other people want to know about why is all of this being kept secret.

From coast to coast and worldwide on the internet, this is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.
art bell
It is, and my guest, of course, is Bob Lazar.
The very controversial Bob Lazar is a physicist, and he's actually been where few living human beings have ever been.
And that's standing right in front of the real McCoy.
UFOs, flying saucers, flying discs, some described, one described, I recall, as the sports model.
But the real thing.
In fact, I believe what Bob saw resulted in the tester model.
Do you remember the tester model of the saucer?
Well, that came from, at least in part, if not in totality, Bob's description.
I think that's right.
We'll ask about that in a moment.
bob lazar The ability to create or manipulate gravity, some incredible thing to be sure.
And Bob, we were talking about the, you know, the energy needs of the world, and then you brought up weapons, and you betcha.
I mean, do you believe, for example, that they have, in fact, developed weapons using this technology and that we have them now in our arsenal?
bob lazar
My own personal belief, absolutely.
art bell
Absolutely, huh?
bob lazar
Absolutely.
Because I saw evidence of that even when I worked there.
Part of the briefing contained a couple hints about using gravity as a lens or one of the gravity emitters as a lens to focus energy weapons.
So which, to take a step back, particle beams and other energy-type weapons of that sort disperse quickly in an atmosphere.
And it's kind of hard to keep a focused, intense beam on your target.
But if you can manipulate gravity, you know, you can really, really change the dynamics of that.
art bell
What would such a weapon do?
bob lazar
Well, that's what they're using a technology there essentially to focus something that's conventional.
But if you could maintain the energy density, maintain, you know, essentially a tight focus spot of any high-intensity energy, you could burn, you know, penetrate, destroy different targets.
But also, it's also a great defensive thing because once you start talking about manipulating gravity and you can create a gravitational field in any plane you wish, you know, things that become possible are what we consider science fiction.
Now, the popular shields in Star Trek become possible now.
art bell
Well, how about the not quite so as fictional suggestions made by Ronald Reagan about Star Wars?
bob lazar
Right.
art bell
You know, you've got to wonder if some of what that man said at that time came from some knowledge he might have had about what was possible.
bob lazar
It could certainly have had.
I've heard several people talk about Reagan in that way.
And I know he made several of those speeches with making reference to aliens invading the earth and whatnot.
But yeah, that's very possible.
art bell
Certainly that would have been one of the early conclusions any military mind would have drawn, and that could have easily made it to the top to the president.
Ronald Reagan was somebody who said what was on his mind to the consternation of many around him.
He'd just say what was on his mind to hell with the consequences.
So one does have to wonder about that.
But still, there it is.
Maybe we've got the weapons.
We didn't use them in Iraq.
bob lazar
No, I think these are way too valuable to use in combat.
These aren't things that have been produced.
If we have any, we're using the parts from the craft and their prototypes.
And I don't think anybody is risking putting these valuable things into battle.
I think it's, you know, unless we've developed another source for the materials or have been able to duplicate them in the past 10 years, I really don't see that we're going to be going anywhere with that.
But who knows?
Maybe by this time research has continued and they've actually come up with something.
art bell
One of the key things that John Lear did during our last interview was he said, hey, Art, I'm going to take you to a briefing, and you're going to get to say whether you think all of this, there should be total disclosure about everything the United States government has done since day one regarding this whole issue of extraterrestrials, what we've learned, what information we have, how we got it, what we've done with it,
the terrible things government has done to protect the secrets and all the rest of it.
I'm going to lay it all out for you, and you decide whether or not it should be all publicly disclosed.
You know, everybody in ufology is screaming for disclosure.
And so I'm wondering about you, Bob.
If you had a litany of things laid in front of you that we had done, some of them pretty terrible, if you buy it, would you say that there should be full disclosure, or is this something better kept from the American or the world public?
bob lazar
Well, it's not better kept from the American people because, you know, we're supposed to be the government.
We hire these guys, elect them to their positions to take care of business.
art bell
Yes, sir.
bob lazar
So nothing is supposed to be kept from us.
However, there are other countries.
We do have an awful lot of people in the world that just hate us because we're alive.
And if you're concerned about weapons and the proliferation of things of that sort, you do need to keep certain things secret from the rest of the world.
However, it's one of the things that I had said initially, go ahead and keep all that stuff secret, but just admit, hey, by the way, a long time ago, we ran into some of these things.
This technology is real.
There apparently is actual intelligent extraterrestrial life somewhere else.
And we have a few artifacts and go ahead and release some stuff to the public.
Look up here.
Here's a hinge made on another world.
Just something generic.
And keep all the other stuff secret.
But then I can also see the flip side of that.
That's going to whet everybody's appetite and there's going to be a fur over disclosing the rest of the information.
And if the government's been keeping that for secret for so long, what else have they been keeping secret?
art bell
Well, yes.
bob lazar
I don't see the government coming clean with any of this stuff.
I mean, they're up to all kinds of no-good.
art bell
Do you believe that there is a government behind the government, you know, sort of pulling the strings, as it were?
bob lazar
I don't know about that.
I think ours is pretty screwed up as it is.
So I don't think it needs anybody else pulling any strings.
art bell
Yeah, you're right about that.
But surely there is some method for keeping this gigantic secret, and not all politicians, nor even perhaps all presidents are told about the existence of that.
Do you believe that?
bob lazar
No, I think, yeah, I think very few people know.
And one of the things they told me, which was one of my first comments there when I finally knew what I was working on, how do you guys keep this secret?
And what they told me was, this is the easiest thing in the world to keep secret because it's so unbelievable.
And, you know, when you really think about it, they're right.
art bell
Well, they are, because everything just gets dismissed or perhaps erased.
How much anger do you have for them now?
I mean, what they did to you.
They virtually erased your life.
They brought a steel fist right down in the middle of your life and kind of ruined things for quite a while for you.
bob lazar
Well, I don't know.
I've tried to put this out of my mind.
You know, as I fight to try and just put this behind me and forget about everything, you know, a lot of people keep prodding me for information and it resurfaces in my mind.
But for the most part, I just try and get rid of this.
At the time, sure, I was pissed off, more so than you can possibly imagine.
And, you know, as my friends at that time recall, I drove around in my little 280Z with an Uzi.
You know, that's the kind of trouble I expected, and I didn't go anywhere without it.
But, you know, times have changed.
A lot of time has gone by.
And I don't know.
It's kind of hard to say.
Yeah, it's always in the back of my mind.
But, you know, what am I going to do?
To this day, I'm still fighting to get some paperwork and some things I can't even talk about, but back to the way it was so I can be a normal person.
art bell
You obviously thought they were going to kill you.
bob lazar
Oh, no question.
That was the impetus for going on the news that way.
art bell
Yeah, and the famous or infamous Channel 8 thing.
Yeah.
You wanted to tell everybody about that?
Because, of course, not everybody in the rest of the country either recalls or knew about what happened with regard to that.
Explain exactly how that came down.
bob lazar
Well, I'm wondering how far I should go back.
Well, essentially, after I left the project, and it wasn't really voluntary, but I'm trying to remember exactly what happened then.
In fact, I think it was John, that interview took place at John Lear's house.
art bell
It was George Knapp that talked you into it, wasn't it?
bob lazar
Yeah, it was a combination of both.
I think I had gone down to John Lear's house and really was afraid to go home at that time and hid out there for a while.
And John said, why don't you go talk to George Knapp?
And maybe if the stuff's all over the news, they'll just leave you alone.
It'd be your way of kind of pushing back.
art bell
George Knapp, folks, is a reporter for Channel 8, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas.
bob lazar
Yeah, he was, I'm sorry for interrupting.
art bell
No, that's right.
George is just a very heavy-duty investigative reporter for that station.
I guess he was sort of doing stories on John Lear at that time, and then somehow you got involved in this.
And then, if I remember correctly, you were put on television in a shadow behind something, or I can't remember.
bob lazar
Yeah, it was just a backlit shadow, so you couldn't recognize who I was, and the pseudonym I used was the name of my boss at the time, which was kind of a little smack in the face to say, hey, just back off and leave me alone.
And apparently, that caused quite a stir, and I got a call shortly after that.
And needless to say, they were pretty upset with that move.
art bell
Do you think, John, well, I bet they were.
Do you?
Do you think John wanted you to do it to, in essence, back him up at that point?
bob lazar
Oh, I'm sure.
At that time, I mean, you have to look at things at that time.
First of all, I got into the project thinking I was going to be working on a new fighter, a propulsion system for a new fighter aircraft.
Yes.
And I was certainly not one of the people that believed in UFOs.
These were people that were just, you know, something to laugh at as far as I was concerned.
So I already lost my train of thoughts.
art bell
Well, let me put you back in that chair.
And that night when the interview was done, what did you say to the audience that night?
bob lazar
Well, that was essentially just admitting that there were nine craft out there, that they were actively back engineering and attempting to duplicate the power and propulsion system of the craft.
Dennis And The UFO Model 00:09:38
bob lazar
And that's basically about all that was said.
I mean, there were a few details about where it was.
art bell
That was enough.
That's like taking a match and throwing it on gasoline.
What was the reaction like after that?
bob lazar
Oh, it was pretty widespread.
unidentified
Yeah.
bob lazar
It went all over the place.
I had seen new because they interrupted, well, I don't know if they interrupted it, but it was in the middle of 5 o'clock news to a live broadcast.
And I've seen that exact broadcast repeated on Japanese television and in Germany.
So it made the world fast.
art bell
What was the nickname you used for that interview?
bob lazar
Dennis.
art bell
Dennis, yeah, that's what they called you.
Dennis.
It's a long time ago now.
That must have taken great big ones to sit in that chair and say that on television.
bob lazar
Yeah, Dennis Mariani was my supervisor at that time.
art bell
I see.
Okay, so after that story broke, I mean, you must have, you and John probably just sat back and watched the world explode around you.
bob lazar
Well, kind of.
Yeah, I mean, at that time, you know, John Lear was out there himself saying that there were flying saucers at the test site and all kinds of stuff that I thought was pretty silly.
But as it turned out, you know, he was right.
I don't know what information source he had at that time, but he had been telling you and saying that.
art bell
So I guess maybe that's the reason that you went to John as dragging him along, saying, hey, I got something to show you.
Maybe you just sort of felt as though you owed it to him in some way, huh?
bob lazar
Maybe.
I actually can't remember the exact reason.
But it was just the people around me at the time I felt obligated to at least give a peek to.
art bell
Wasn't the tester, the tester company that makes models came out with a model of a UFO of a flying saucer, quite a unique scale model of a flying saucer.
I have one of them.
And how much of your input was used to create that model?
bob lazar
Oh, 100%.
art bell
100%.
bob lazar
Yeah.
Yeah, John Andrews from Testers just sat down and said, hey, we want to make a model of this, and you want to help us or not?
And I said, Yeah, okay, this is it.
And they brought a couple guys in, and, you know, off the top of my head, I tried to remember some dimensions, and we did some initial drawings, and the craft just didn't look right.
And he had a couple of friends that were, I don't quite remember what they were skilled in, but in any case, they were able to get the correct dimensions by me recognizing the sizes of known objects at various distances.
unidentified
Sure.
bob lazar
And they kind of, you know, back-engineered it from that and were able to get the proper dimensions.
And when the drawing was done, that did look correct.
And I think I'm more comfortable with the final drawings and dimensions they came up with.
And it was, I think, came up to 52.8 feet in diameter or something like that.
art bell
Well, when you look at the tester model today, do you look at that and say, yup, that's what I saw?
bob lazar
Yeah, no question.
They hit the nail on the head with that.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
bob lazar
Yeah, that's exactly it.
art bell
How long a process was that for you to accurately finally, you know, I guess it's like going to a police station and going to a sketch artist and have them finally come up with something that matches the person you saw.
bob lazar
If I remember, it took a while.
It probably took a month on and off of going over drawings, drawing the layout over and over again and having these guys look at it and then scale it up and see if things fit.
unidentified
But it did take quite a while.
art bell
All right.
Am I right or wrong?
Do you really have, do you own a missile silo in Roswell, New Mexico?
bob lazar
Yeah, John Ferrat and I have a project going down there.
And it's a decommissioned nuclear missile silo just outside of Roswell.
And it's not like I wanted a place outside of Roswell.
It just happened to be where I was.
art bell
But how does the prison go about getting a missile silo in the first place?
I mean, who do you approach?
bob lazar
Well, I think they're actually on the internet.
If you type in missile silo, there are a few left for sale, but they are pretty neat.
I believe where the missile sits is 200 feet deep.
And these places are quite a deal compared to what the government paid for them.
I think they paid close to $13 million just for the concrete to build these places.
And it's literally bomb-proof.
You can set a thermonuclear bomb on the door and set it off and still be drinking beer inside for a while anyway.
art bell
Why did you want the silo?
bob lazar
Oh, it was cool.
art bell
Just because it's cool.
bob lazar
Well, we also have some other plans for it, but that you can or can't talk about.
Nah, I'm really not.
art bell
I'm not sure.
Yeah, I see.
So this is a full decommissioned nuclear missile silo in Roswell.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Just not something that the average person would have or want.
And I wish I knew what you were going to do with it, but you can't talk about that at all, huh?
bob lazar
Well, not really.
I can tell you some of the things we're not doing with it.
art bell
Not launching missiles.
bob lazar
Yeah, unfortunately, I couldn't find a reload kit for the place, but I would certainly have bought one if I could.
art bell
I see.
All right, hold that thought.
We'll be right back.
It's the top of the hour.
My guest is Bob Lazar.
He does, he owns a missile silo in Roswell, New Mexico.
And he'll tell us shortly things that, well, I guess he's not going to tell us.
He's going to tell us things you can't do with it, or he can't do with it, or maybe things that he will do with it.
We'll see what we can pry out of him next.
unidentified
The lights step inside, but you don't see too many faces coming out of the rain to hit the chair.
Sunshining, it's a beautiful morning.
You're gone.
You're cool.

art bell
I liked his answer, actually.
Why would you own a missile?
Why would you buy a missile silo?
unidentified
Well, because it's cool.
art bell
Now, you see, I can understand that answer because it's cool.
Indeed, owning a missile silo would be cool.
Bob Lazar owns one, and he's pretty cool, and he'll be right back.
unidentified
Bob Lazar.
art bell
Bob, you said you could describe some things that, what, you can't do, or you might do it.
bob lazar
Well, one thing I do have to correct is my partner, John Ferrad, and I are involved in the silo, and John has far more invested in it than I do.
So, just to say that it's mine personally.
Part of a silo, I guess, in the respect.
art bell
I mean, but did you, there's had to be more.
Well, maybe there didn't.
You know, I was going to actually put a rocket on my front lawn to impress my neighbors.
I thought it'd be cool.
I mean, if you're a neighbor and you see a rocket go up in a guy's lawn, huh?
So, do you own a silo for the same reason?
Just for just, well, you said it's cool.
unidentified
It is.
Barry's Mysterious Connection 00:09:47
bob lazar
Well, no, we actually have some serious plans for it.
art bell
I thought you might.
bob lazar
And, you know, you don't invest all kinds of money just for the hell of it.
But it's amazing the amount of rumors that start.
And generally, for some reason, when my name's involved somewhere, all kinds of ridiculous stories pop out of the woodwork.
But I think even Channel 8 carried that story in Las Vegas.
And in fact, when I was down at the silo, we got a call from the police in Roswell.
unidentified
Oh.
bob lazar
And they sounded kind of embarrassed and said, you know, we're going to have to come down and check out the facility there.
And we asked why, and there was kind of a hesitation, and they said, I know this sounds crazy, but, you know, we have people that actually have come down to the station and said that they believe you're holding alien hostages underground in the silo.
Yeah, every day.
And, you know, because they filed the report, they actually went down.
They are obligated to go check things out.
So they had to come down and verify that there's no aliens being held hostage in there.
art bell
They actually did that?
bob lazar
Yeah, yeah, they did that while I was there.
And they did.
art bell
Now, that's a story in itself.
That got reported.
I missed that one.
bob lazar
Well, that was most recently, before I moved to New Mexico.
What had happened was just a random guy drove out there and was planning on committing suicide.
Now, of all the places in the world, this guy could have gone to kill himself.
He drove down the road to the silo, parked on top of it, and set his car on fire or something like that.
Anyway, the thing burnt to the ground, and the guy was dead.
And prior to that, there's also wild animals, antelope, cattle, whatever in the area.
And there's been a couple dead cows out there.
So the connection between cattle mutilations and all this stuff started brewing in the minds of some people.
So somehow it got around that I was developing a death ray in this underground facility and that I had tested it on cattle, which is why they were dead.
And of course, a guy came driving down the road and I vaporized his car and killed him.
art bell
I know.
And you maintain that none of this is true.
bob lazar
No, of course not.
But it's just amazing the stories that get started.
art bell
Well, of course, you are Bob Lazar.
There is a certain aura around you.
And when you connect that with buying a missile silo, people's imaginations naturally go berserk.
bob lazar
Well, berserk is a good word.
art bell
But then again, you are Bob Lazar.
It is a missile silo.
And to be honest, you haven't actually answered my question yet about what you're going to do with it.
And you say you can't answer that question.
And you know that's going to feed rumors.
It's got me thinking.
unidentified
Okay, well, I just can't help that.
art bell
Now, Bob, over the years, especially in that time period when you were with John and the whole thing was coming down, how much, and you've done a number of public interviews, several with me.
How much is left that you can't talk about?
bob lazar
Can't?
art bell
Can't.
Can't.
Or unable to.
bob lazar
Concerning the UFO information.
art bell
Yeah.
bob lazar
Not a whole lot.
art bell
But some.
bob lazar
There's just a couple little tidbits, and I think I've told you that before.
There's a couple things that I need, and this isn't to burn anybody and hold information back, but it's in case somebody claims that they were involved with the project or work there.
There are a couple things that only those people will know.
And anytime that anybody brings those up when questioned by me, I'll know.
So that's the only reason.
There's just a few little bits and pieces of information here and there.
art bell
All righty.
Then let's go down that road for a second.
I mean, there are others like you, Bob, who worked out in and saw all of that.
Obviously, there had to be quite a number over the years of people who became aware of that knowledge.
Why are there not a lot more Bob Lazars out there?
bob lazar
I don't know.
Initially, I was not supposed to be the only one that came forward.
art bell
Not supposed to be?
bob lazar
No.
art bell
You mean you had an agreement with someone?
bob lazar
Well, Barry, the guy that I worked with there, was supposed to additionally come forward, but that apparently never happened.
So I was left out there in the dark.
art bell
Twisting in the breeze.
bob lazar
So I don't know what happened.
art bell
So this Barry had promised you he would step forward with you?
bob lazar
Well, kind of.
And, you know, I wonder if it's wise really to comment too much on that, because I don't know what Barry's situation is now.
But we had, you know, we had talked about things.
art bell
But if somebody were to come forward and claim they had seen what you saw, they also know it to be true because they worked there.
You would have a couple of questions you'd be able to ask them that would verify the authenticity of the- Sure, instantaneously.
Instantaneously.
All right.
Now, why did you move?
I mean, you've been a very longtime desert rat out here in the Las Vegas area, nearby me, and, of course, the infamous area 51S4 and all the rest of it.
I mean, you lived here so long.
Why'd you move?
bob lazar
You know, after a while, Las Vegas gets to you.
I was there, and certainly working at the test site was fascinating.
And a little bit of the work I did there when I initially moved to Las Vegas.
But after that, being out of the scientific field, I really went stagnant and really didn't produce or do anything that I really considered worthwhile and just needed to get out of the Las Vegas environment completely.
And New Mexico, especially around the Albuquerque area, you know, you have two of the most prominent national nuclear labs here, Los Alamos and Sandia.
And, you know, the cities here are filled with PhD scientists.
And it just feels it felt good to get back into the mainstream of things.
And, you know, in the short time I was here, in the first 18 months, I just began to actually produce what I considered decent work.
I started filing for patents and, you know, as you know, working on the hydrogen system.
art bell
And I'm talking a little bit about that, as a matter of fact.
Yeah, patents and on hydrogen fuel systems.
And I know you've had them in your car.
You've run your car on hydrogen and did it for a long time, right?
Right.
Whatever patents you have, what's this about a SWAT team coming in and grabbing all of your data and computers?
bob lazar
I have to stop you there.
We can't even touch that one.
I spoke to my attorney after I sent that.
art bell
I'm no kidding.
bob lazar
No, we've got to totally just talk about that.
art bell
Not talk about that, huh?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Okay.
At any rate, now that you're back or you're in New Mexico, you feel like you're doing good work in your area once again.
bob lazar
Yeah, and it's, yeah, I guess it's just a different mindset.
And also the immediate area that I live in, you know, moving up isolated in the mountains in the middle of a forest and, you know, on a lot of acres of land is different than living right in the middle of Las Vegas and typically in town.
So it's just it's a freer environment and I'm building my own research lab here and I don't know.
It's a lot more fertile ground for thinking and actually doing something serious.
art bell
Well, I do get the sense.
There is still an awful lot you can't talk about.
You said a couple of things, but then we can we keep touching on several things that still there's aspects of it that you can't talk about.
So I would say a lot of your life still is surrounded by having to keep secrets.
Are you good at keeping secrets?
bob lazar
No, I think it's been proven pretty well that I can't do that.
But it drives me crazy because the thing I would love, I could spend four hours on the phone more pissed up than you can imagine talking about this SWAT team thing.
But I my hands are tied right now.
unidentified
Oh, no, maybe in the future I can say something about that.
art bell
No, attorneys are that way.
I know when there's ongoing stuff.
And they're right, of course.
Ultimately, they're right.
But it does kill you not to be able to talk about something.
bob lazar
Yes, it does.
art bell
Do you think that you're working on, without asking you specifically what you're working on, did any of let's try it this way, did any of your experience at S-War and what you saw and what you learned technically have application in any work that you're either doing now or contemplating?
Hydrogen Fuel Cells 00:08:19
bob lazar
Yes.
art bell
Oh, my.
Yes.
Now, I'm obligated to ask you about your project, what you envision, what you're doing, even in general terms.
Can you tell me a little bit about what you're working on?
bob lazar
Well, there's actually I'm overburdened with projects in progress.
As you mentioned, the hydrogen fuel systems, that's actually something I've been working on since the late 70s.
And that's finally come to fruition, and a lot of the materials needed long-term testing, and they've certainly had it now.
That's probably the biggest.
art bell
Okay, perhaps you can answer a hydrogen question for me.
Now, hydrogen is being touted.
Even the President of the United States is touting it as the way to go.
But there are others, Bob, who say, look, this is in a way all foolishness because to create hydrogen in amounts that would be good for the public to use, energy cells, fuel cells, would require manufacturing, pollution, the use of energy.
In other words, all you're really doing is finding a new storage facility and way to store energy that still has to be produced, frankly, in the old-fashioned way.
bob lazar
No, not really.
art bell
Well, then lay it on me.
Not really how.
bob lazar
Well, first of all, there's two trains of thought here.
The automotive industry, the president and his advisors, are all going down the fuel cell path.
And for those that don't know, a fuel cell is a device that takes gaseous hydrogen and oxygen, combines them, and makes electricity.
And a little fuel cell water dribbles out of it because when the hydrogen and oxygen combine, it's water.
art bell
That's the only byproduct is water.
unidentified
Right.
bob lazar
Right.
art bell
And so you can use these in cars or to power homes or whatever, right?
unidentified
Right.
bob lazar
Well, you can use these things and their car of the future has fuel cells and an electric motor, and that's how the car is powered.
Now, that's very efficient.
It's around 35% efficient overall.
And that is pretty neat.
However, all the technology is not there.
The vehicles will be fantastically expensive.
None really exist right now in production.
And what about the billion cars that are on the road now?
What is everybody going to dish out $175,000 for a new car?
And on top of that, they want to just replace gasoline pumps with hydrogen pumps and sell you the fuel again.
art bell
All right.
Let's get back to refuting this.
In other words, no matter how it works, Bob, and it sounds like you're almost more on the negative than the positive side of this, but I mean, no matter how it works, aren't conventional fuels going to have to be used in copious amounts to produce these cylinders of hydrogen?
bob lazar
No, I don't.
The system that I came up with, first of all, converts a conventional car to burn hydrogen conventionally.
art bell
And with how much cost?
bob lazar
Well, let me get to that in a second.
The actual conversion is not that difficult, not that terribly expensive.
I have not used any energy producing any of the hydrogen that I make as far as power off the grid, fossil fuels, or whatnot.
Hydrogen is easily electrolyzed by water.
You know, if you need to prove it to yourself, take a 12-volt battery, put both wires in the water, add a pinch of salt, and you'll see bubbles coming off of one side.
Well, some off the other two.
art bell
That ought to be a hydrogen.
bob lazar
Right.
Anyway, it's easily produced, and it can be produced with solar panels or a wind turbine.
I use solar panels.
That's where all my hydrogen comes from.
I fill up the Corvette with it, and we drive 700 miles on it.
And the car will also run on gasoline.
art bell
All right.
So that's perfected.
I mean, it works, right?
bob lazar
Right, and it's worked for years and years and years.
art bell
All right.
Let's say I buy a conventional automobile for, I don't know, 20, 30 grand, something like that.
What would it cost to convert a car like that to hydrogen?
bob lazar
Well, the big hang-up right now has been the actual storage medium.
You don't want to store hydrogen as just a compressed gas because it's dangerous, it's flammable, and on top of that, you need thousands of times more space to hold the hydrogen than you would an equivalent amount of gasoline.
art bell
Okay.
bob lazar
So it just doesn't work.
You don't want to store it liquid because that's cryogenic, it's dangerous, it's just a big thermos bottle in your tank, and it's another big headache.
The third way is the best way, and that's a metal hydride.
And this is a granular material that absorbs hydrogen like a sponge absorbs water.
And it only releases the hydrogen when it's heated.
And when it's not being heated, I can fire incendiary bullets through the hydride tank, and it just smolders like a cigarette.
So it's extremely safe.
art bell
Wow.
bob lazar
And this is the material that I store the hydrogen in, in the vehicles and for home use.
art bell
Is this the subject of a patent?
bob lazar
Yes.
art bell
It is.
bob lazar
Yeah.
Now, there are various hydride materials, and some were actually very difficult to get a hold of because some of them, like lithium-6 deuteride, which is a hydride, actually, well, the material I use as a hydride, the only use for that material is in thermonuclear bombs.
And it's restricted, obviously restricted for sale.
And the only reason some of these hydrides are manufactured was for the weapons industry, and they're done so in such small quantities, the cost was very high.
For instance, to convert the Corvette just for the tanks of hydride, we were looking at $15,000 without the hydrogen conversion itself.
So this is, you know, that's a pretty large price tag.
art bell
Out of line right now.
bob lazar
Right.
art bell
But if this whole thing were perfected and you had access to the materials and it were done in mass, I'd like to get some idea of what it would cost to convert.
bob lazar
Well, we've been working with the hydride manufacturers, and they promise a 70% reduction in cost in volume production.
art bell
Does that make it viable?
bob lazar
Very much so.
I mean, wouldn't you pay between $4,500 and $6,000 to have your car converted?
You'll have your hydrogen generator at home so you can drive locally and even up to 700 miles away on hydrogen.
And if you want, you can always put gas in the tank and the car will switch over to gasoline when that's.
art bell
That's what the cowboys wanted to know.
Would I need to do that?
Would hydrogen give me the same equal amount of horsepower?
Would I be happy with a hydrogen fuel?
bob lazar
You get a little less, you know, for instance, in a larger engine.
In fact, that's the reason we converted the Corvette, was a lot of these alternate fuel cars, the little Ford escorts and these little tiny motors, and it leaves everybody wondering, well, can't you power something substantial?
So we purposely did a large V8 engine, and yeah, it still lights up the tires and, you know, screams away.
There's a little loss in horsepower, but in a large engine, you're not going to detect a 10% loss in horsepower.
Moon Base Speculations 00:15:22
art bell
But you're still having a lot of fun, though.
I mean, it's enough horsepower that generally most people are going to be happy campers.
bob lazar
Oh, sure.
And most people are willing to pay that price tag if they never, ever have to go to a gas station again.
And who wouldn't?
On top of that, you're not supporting, you know, the oil cartel or anything else that's going on or polluting the air.
art bell
All right.
I'll hold it right there.
Bob has a Corvette converted to hydrogen, and he's had that for a long time.
And I guess the rest of the world is yet to come.
We'll continue to talk with Bob Lazar, who knows lots of things.
We'll see what we can pry from him as the hours continue.
From the high desert, I'm Art Bell.

Bet on it.
We'll get questions from all of you for Bob Lazar coming up in the next hour.
Listen, check out my webcam.
By popular demand, I did put up a picture of the tester model.
I'm holding the tester model for you in case you've never seen it.
There it is.
That's Bob's accurate recollection of what he saw at Area S4 that I'm holding in my hands.
That's on my webcam.
Top left-hand side of the CoastCoastAM.com website.
By the way, there may be, in fact, we know there are other Bob Lazars out there.
And if there are, I'd like to encourage you to contact me.
We'll work it out.
Trust me, a lot of people get a little older now, and perhaps they'd like to talk about the things they saw up there.
If you would email me, my email address is artbell at mindspring.com.
That's Art Bell, A-R-T-B-E-L-L, at mindspring.com.
So if you're another Bob Lazar out there and you figure the time is right for you and you want to tell your story, I'm your guy.
That's the way to get me.
Art Bell at mindspring.com.
Bob Lazar.
We'll be right back.
Yeah, this is probably going to screw up my little scenario pleading for some more Bob Lazar's to come forward.
But out of curiosity, Bob, tonight, all across the world, people who have been involved up at Area 51S4 have seen what you have seen.
These people, they're probably listening, Bob.
A lot of them are listening.
You can be sure of it, actually.
And so what would you say to these people?
Would you say, you know what?
Art's right.
Why don't you go ahead and email them, and why don't you come on and tell what you know?
Would you advise them to do that?
bob lazar
No.
art bell
No, I knew you'd screw it up.
bob lazar
Don't tell anybody what you know.
unidentified
Take my word for it.
bob lazar
I knew you'd do that.
art bell
I knew it.
bob lazar
Yeah, well, that really is my message.
Just forget it.
art bell
Forget it, huh?
bob lazar
Just forget it.
Don't bother saying anything.
It's not worth the hassle.
art bell
It's not worth it.
bob lazar
It's not.
And for the most part, nobody's going to believe what you have to say anyway, so don't even think of doing it.
art bell
Oh, thanks for the help.
bob lazar
I'm sorry, but you asked.
art bell
Yeah, and I knew, I guess, what I was in for.
Okay, well, I know, but still, all right, but let me take the other side of it, Bob.
Let's fight this a little bit.
There's a lot of people out there like Stephen Greer, who I have on tomorrow night, and they really do make a compelling, damn strong case that, gosh, darn it all, if we've been visited by aliens, if they've really been here, if we have their craft, their technology, and even bodies, and this is such an incredibly large story, so important to the human race that nobody has a right to keep anything like this secret, and it should be told.
It should be out in the open.
And if these Bob Lazars don't come in and talk to me and others, then how in the hell are we ever going to find out?
Because you said it yourself, the government sure isn't going to tell us.
bob lazar
Yeah, and I agree with that completely.
art bell
Well, then how can you say that?
bob lazar
From personal experience.
art bell
Yeah, in other words, you're not really a crusader at all, are you?
bob lazar
No.
art bell
You're not?
bob lazar
No.
unidentified
No.
bob lazar
I'm not involved in UFO research.
I don't follow the stories.
I don't do lectures.
unidentified
I don't.
art bell
I know you don't.
bob lazar
You know, I don't do any of that stuff.
You know, I try and put it behind me, you know, and a lot of people really have the drive to get this stuff uncovered.
But generally, those are the people that haven't been involved with anything.
And, you know, sticking your neck out on the line really does change your life forever.
And it's not a positive thing.
You know, people really get the wrong impression.
They think that, you know, this is a big boost in some way to you.
And it's not by any stretch of the imagination.
So why would I recommend somebody do that?
art bell
Well, a lot of people, Bob, think that, I mean, when they have these reality TV shows and people line up for blocks and wait two days through the ice and the cold to get a chance to be, you know, I have FaceTime on television.
We do live in that kind of world, and so some people suspect your motive is that.
bob lazar
Yeah, but I hate being on TV.
I hate doing interviews, and I don't do lectures and all that.
How could that possibly be my motivation?
art bell
Yeah, that's right.
Well, believe me, I do understand.
Do you have any knowledge?
Diane up in Washington wants to know.
I get a computer message every now and then, a lot of them actually.
Do you have any knowledge?
It's a good question, of any agreement between any group of aliens and humans or the U.S. government.
Do you believe that to be true or know it to be true?
That there is some understanding.
bob lazar
I've heard rumors of that from various sources, but I don't have any first-hand knowledge of an actual agreement that was cut between anybody.
art bell
There's a lot of speculation, of course, about an agreement to allow some human beings, for example, to be abducted for research in return for, let's say, technology.
And John Lear alluded to all that and said that they, in essence, reneged on that aspect of what was supposed to be a deal.
Of course, to make, you know, you'd never make that kind of thing public.
If you had made a deal to shuffle off some of your citizens at random to guys who are going to do God knows what to them, chop them up, cut them up, whatever they do, you could never talk about that ever.
unidentified
I don't know.
bob lazar
I find that kind of hard to believe.
art bell
So then John has gone too far for you.
Is that right?
bob lazar
I'm sure he's listening.
art bell
I'm sure he's listening.
bob lazar
John knows he's gone too far for me.
John's convinced that there are people living on, or some sort of beings living on Venus and some other local planets.
unidentified
That's right.
bob lazar
And that drives me crazy.
art bell
Does it?
bob lazar
Yeah, it absolutely does.
And a bunch of the things he says.
art bell
Well, he's convinced there are artifacts on the moon, gigantic artifacts on the moon and Mars.
And others have said that as well.
Richard C. Hoagland and others have said there are things on the moon.
In fact, you know what?
There's speculation that the President of the United States, George Bush, is about to make a speech in which he's going to say the United States is going to go back to the moon.
There's going to be a shuttle mission to go back to the moon.
bob lazar
I heard that.
art bell
Yeah.
bob lazar
Yeah, I heard he's supposed to make some sort of announcement.
art bell
And we would do it presumably with the shuttle, which is really?
Yeah, really interesting.
bob lazar
How are you going to get the shuttle?
art bell
Don't ask me.
I have no idea, but that's what I'm hearing.
And actually, I've heard Mr. Hoagland say it's possible, I mean, you know, if they used every...
In other words, once, I think Richard has said, or someone said, once you get into orbit, you're halfway to anywhere.
bob lazar
Well, sure, but if you want to actually get on the moon, it's a different story.
You know, the orbiter wasn't designed to do that at all.
And in fact, it needs to be replaced with something else.
art bell
Yeah, it's getting pretty old.
bob lazar
Yeah.
art bell
Still, that's apparently what's going to be announced.
I could turn out to be wrong, but I don't know of any other spacecraft that we have in current production that would get us to the moon.
Do you?
bob lazar
No, but, you know, we do still have a Saturn V sitting there.
art bell
A Saturn V could do it.
bob lazar
Well, it was designed to do it with a lunar module and everything.
It's sitting there in Florida just the thing off and launch it because they stopped the program right, you know.
art bell
You think it'd be all right?
Not like old ammunition?
I mean, it's pretty old now.
bob lazar
Well, you know, it's for the most part, you know, it's metal and components.
Just sit there with something you know that works.
Don't do what the United States typically does and reinvent the wheel constantly.
That got us to the moon.
Many times it worked.
Just update it with some modern materials, electronics, and components and use it since it's there and stop spending huge amounts of money doing nothing.
art bell
What can you imagine our motivation would be for going back to the moon?
I mean, we did go, most people believe.
Actually, I don't think we even went.
But I believe we went and we got rocks and we didn't get very many surprises.
And so what could we do on the moon today that we didn't do then?
bob lazar
That always seemed more sensible to me to make a small moon base as opposed to a space station.
art bell
Oh, really?
Why?
bob lazar
Well, for various reasons.
First of all, the space station is limited in what it can do.
And I know a moon base is much more difficult to get to.
It doesn't have to be large, but you can at least try and test out some technology on trying to manufacture fuel, do some small refining, see what you can get from the surrounding environment.
There have been reports, I think, I don't know, was it the Cassini?
Some radar mapping craft over the past four or five years detected that there were supposedly large frozen areas of water on the moon.
However, they just went over that data again and another arbitrator now are refuting some of that.
You know, if you've got water, you've got energy and you've got the possibility for all kinds of stuff.
art bell
So we're back to a foggy area.
There may not be enough water there to manufacture fuel, which would be a necessity.
bob lazar
Right.
art bell
So that would make it uninhabitable if they're completely reversing themselves now.
It's kind of strange to me.
A lot of people believe, Bob, that there are things on the moon, large glass structures, incredible things that were hidden from the world when we went to the moon and have been hidden ever since.
And that's the reason they say we haven't gone back.
I believe John is one of the people who believes that.
bob lazar
Yeah, he is.
I'm not one of the people that believes that.
art bell
You're not.
bob lazar
No.
No, absolutely not.
art bell
Then why go back, Bob?
bob lazar
Exploration.
You know, why go to the top of the mountain?
You know, it's a completely different world now than it was in the 60s.
There's a lot more technology, so there's a lot more we can investigate there.
And the original reason to go to the moon was never to research the moon, you know, aside from beating the Russians there.
The original intention was only to see the feasibility or to investigate the feasibility of making a small base there and launching a Mars mission from the moon.
This was all about going to Mars.
The moon was only supposed to be because it would be easier to get there from the moon, less gravity, so on and so forth.
Sure.
And that was just to be looked upon as a potential launching site for a Mars mission.
So the interest was never in the moon.
I mean, we pretty much knew it was just a rock up there anyway.
The interest has always been in Mars, but Mars isn't that easy to get to.
art bell
Unless you had a moon base, and that would help.
bob lazar
Well, yeah, that would help.
It's a shortcut, and you could store fuel there.
There would be, you know, if plans had gone how they should have, you know, maybe we would have already been to Mars.
But I think that's the frontier we should look at, is investigating that or go to Europa.
There's plenty of things in our immediate solar system that are potentially fascinating.
And Europa has probably the best chance of life in our solar system.
And even the hardcore skeptics at NASA pretty much agree there's a good chance there's something in the oceans there.
art bell
Bob, if we've got technology that can manipulate gravity, and damn, it was back in the early 90s when you knew that we had that.
Here we are launching whether it's a Saturn V or a shuttle or however we get back to limp back to the moon.
And for what reason I'm not sure about, but whatever.
We're using ancient buggy-like technology compared to what you know exists now.
Why Risk Losing It? 00:06:16
bob lazar
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I don't care what spacecraft they've come up with.
In my eyes, they still look like fireworks.
And they've proven themselves to be that on occasion.
But it is.
It's archaic technology, and we do have something that operates differently.
However, it has limited fuel, a limited lifespan, and we don't want to lose it.
And as far as I knew at the time, we couldn't even come close to duplicating even the most basic parts of the device.
So what are you left with?
You're left with your own archaic method of transportation to other planets, and you can only investigate what's going on around you.
art bell
So then, Rob, we have been unable to decipher the manner in which or duplicate the manner in which gravity is manipulated by the devices on the craft that you saw.
Obviously, we failed, or what?
In other words, otherwise we'd be using this technology, so we failed?
bob lazar
Well, quite possibly.
Now, again, I hesitate because I'm talking about my knowledge from the early 90s and late 80s.
I don't know what's happened up till today.
But as far as I knew back then, yeah, we failed.
That's the bottom line.
We can't be duplicating that.
art bell
Do you think these craft, when tested, were taken outside the Earth's atmosphere?
bob lazar
No.
art bell
You do not?
bob lazar
No, I know that for a fact.
art bell
For a fact.
bob lazar
Yeah.
I don't.
Well.
Well.
unidentified
No, go ahead.
art bell
Just whisper it in my ear.
bob lazar
Yeah, I pretty much know that for a fact.
art bell
Why, out of curiosity.
bob lazar
This is what we're getting real close to one of the areas that I said that I purposely don't talk about so I know if anybody's been involved with a project which has to do with the craft and where it's gone.
art bell
Oh.
bob lazar
So this is why you're hearing my hesitation on that.
art bell
Okay, well, the next thing out of my mouth was going to be, why do you think if we thought or we have.
bob lazar
Well, look, this is a very valuable article, and it's an operating craft.
I don't know if the other crafts were operating.
We know this one does.
There's only one of them.
unidentified
So in other words, one of the kind of thing.
bob lazar
Would you risk taking this out of the Earth's gravitational pull and losing it in space?
art bell
Yeah, you know.
It's a very good point.
It's a very good point.
bob lazar
You know, this is their prized possession.
art bell
And you believe we still have that safely wherever.
By the way, do you think it's still up there?
Or do you think it's been moved?
And if so, where do you suppose?
bob lazar
I don't know.
You know, I always thought that that was an odd place to put it.
Because in the early days of the nuclear weapon development, some of the best places that they kept everything were in the South Pacific, like Kwajalan Island and things of that sort.
And you don't have any look-you-lose there.
You have no hassles from anybody.
You're in the middle of nowhere, and nobody can get there without you seeing them.
art bell
What a tremendous point.
bob lazar
That's where I would have put it.
Wouldn't have built this secret base in the middle of Nevada, you know, outside of Las Vegas.
And the only reason they moved the nuclear test site to Nevada was because it was just too expensive running supplies back and forth and all the personnel to the South Pacific.
Well, you don't have that problem with the E.T. program because it's limited personnel, limited supplies, and, you know, go hide it in the middle of the ocean on an island like they did with everything else.
So if I was going to put it somewhere, that's where it would be.
art bell
Why do you think instead it ended up here in Nevada?
bob lazar
I don't know.
unidentified
I don't know.
art bell
I mean, because obviously there are going to be more people conceivably seeing what's going on.
bob lazar
There's got to be a reason.
Somebody must have.
art bell
I mean, Bob, they still drive up to the mailbox.
People take videos.
People take pictures.
So then there's another great theory that you might want to comment on.
That is that they want there to be a slow time release of information.
They want rumors.
They want talk about this subject for some reason that fits their agenda.
Otherwise, put it in the South Pacific and, you know, nobody.
bob lazar
Well, there may be some other shortcomings of having it out in the middle of the ocean that, you know, that we're not thinking of.
art bell
But perhaps.
bob lazar
I don't know.
Maybe they need lots of supplies to get to deal with this thing.
art bell
And maybe they figured if it crashed, it's going to be deep down under the Pacific somewhere potentially, and we'd lose it that way.
bob lazar
That's quite possible, too.
art bell
The desert is good for one thing, isn't it?
It's, you know, it's just there, and it's fairly arid, and you'd definitely be coming down on land if you landed in a strange place.
bob lazar
Anywhere in Nevada, yeah.
art bell
So maybe your original point is actually the reason.
bob lazar
It could be.
art bell
That they wouldn't want to risk losing the one model they've got.
Then you figure they're still working on trying desperately to back engineer this, or do you think by now they've done it?
bob lazar
It's been a long time.
I would hope they've made some substantial progress in 10 years.
But, you know, if you don't have access to exotic materials, then you're going to do no fuel.
art bell
And that's.
bob lazar
You know, it's like, like I said before, being back in the 1800s.
Why Can't We Let Go? 00:15:54
bob lazar
And if you want to make something out of plastic, all you can do is look at it and say, hey, this is really neat, but how do we make this stuff?
art bell
Yeah.
unidentified
Hold on.

We're at the top of the hour.
We'll be right back with Bob Lazar and you.

We love you, baby.
art bell
And because we do, we're going to let you talk with Bob Lazar in a moment.
If you'll stay right where you are, the forum, the questions are directly ahead.
Tomorrow night, we'll give Dr. Greer what I now call the Lear test.
We'll give him the Lear test.
And I just can't let go of that.
Ever since John said what he said on this program, I can't let go of it for some reason.
Anyway, coming up in a moment, Bob Lazar is going to attempt to answer your question.
So I guess what I would say is prepare yourself, Bob, because you never know what's going to come.
All right.
It's fun, Bob.
Don't worry.
It's actually fun.
bob lazar
What's the John Lear test, by the way?
art bell
Oh, what's the John Lear test?
It's really cool, to use your phrase.
John took me to a briefing, in essence.
He said, Art, imagine you're going to this briefing, and I'm going to lay the briefing out for you, showing you slides and putting things on the blackboard.
And I'm going to explain to you everything the United States and world governments have ever done regarding the whole ET issue.
And you tell me at the end of it if you would say, okay, make it all public.
bob lazar
Okay, yeah, this is what you had touched on before.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Yeah.
And, you know, at the end of it, I said, no, I wouldn't make it.
Oh, really?
Oh, absolutely.
And I.
bob lazar
Now, that really intrigues me.
Why would you say that?
art bell
Because some of the things that John said are so far beyond the pale that the religious implications, the social implications, the fact that I do believe people would go berserk.
I mean, completely berserk.
It would take down our government.
It would disturb the world.
It would disturb the force.
It would be.
bob lazar
You really think people really wouldn't be able to handle this?
art bell
Well, you've got to remember now that the test was given from the John Lear perspective.
And remember that John believes a lot of things to be true that you don't.
Right?
bob lazar
I'm quite aware of it.
art bell
And so to take the John Lear test, you've got to take what he says as gospel.
In other words, here's some of the terrible things we've done, really terrible things.
Would you make it public?
And if you had to assume that everything he said there is correct, I guarantee you, I'll bet you you'd come up with the same answer.
So.
bob lazar
Well, yeah, I come up with the same answer without that.
But I mean, I truly hope everything John Lear believes isn't true.
art bell
Me too.
Oh, me too.
bob lazar
But I have been proven wrong before about many other things, so who knows?
art bell
All right.
unidentified
You ready?
Yeah, sure.
art bell
Okay, here we go.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with John Lear.
unidentified
Hello.
bob lazar
No, Bob Lazar.
art bell
I've got John on the mind here.
Bob Lazar, how are you doing?
Hi, Art.
unidentified
Hi, Bob.
bob lazar
Hey there.
art bell
Howdy.
unidentified
Well, it's a pleasure to talk to both of you.
It's been a while since I talked to you, Art.
Well, glad to have you back.
Bob, I just missed meeting you by day one time, and I regret that.
I was wondering if you that was down in Nevada.
art bell
Oh, okay.
unidentified
I was wondering if you knew about a material called Starlight.
It was supposedly created by a couple of scientists, but I've always had suspicions it was alien technology.
art bell
Starlight?
What what is this material, sir?
unidentified
Well, a physicist told me about this material.
It's like two liquid plastics, and when you put it together, it forms an indestructible solid.
A nuclear blast won't touch it.
Nothing will destroy it.
art bell
Have you heard of such a material, Bob?
bob lazar
No, I'm pretty skeptical about a claim like that.
unidentified
Well, it's not supposed to be classified, and it came from a pretty reliable source.
And also, John wanted me to ask you about the orange crate in the crater Copper Nicholas.
bob lazar
John wanted you to ask me about the orange crate?
unidentified
Right, the crate on the moon.
art bell
John who?
Lear?
unidentified
John Lear, yes, that's correct.
Oh, okay.
bob lazar
I know what you're talking about.
He showed me a picture one time, and there was a perfectly square object on a moon picture and said, well, what's this orange crate doing there?
And we were arguing about some of the images from the moon and these grainy little things with a couple dots.
And John was claiming, well, that's just the reflection from a giant glass dome over so-and-so.
But anyway, he did have some pictures that I couldn't explain.
art bell
Well, you know, Bob, and some of what John says is pretty wild.
I mean, there's no doubt about it.
But on the one hand, Bob, you're somebody who's actually seen alien craft.
Most of us haven't.
So to have seen what you've seen, are the things then John says really so crazy?
Yes.
Well, I mean, see, a lot of people would say, flying saucers, we got them.
You've seen them.
Oh, come on.
That's crazy.
bob lazar
I know that's crazy.
Maybe it makes me a hypocrite for saying so.
But that's, look, I am the first one to admit that if somebody came forward to me with my identical story and laid everything in my lap, I'm not sure I'd buy it.
So I can't expect anything else from anybody else.
And in fact, I almost prefer people don't believe it because then I get hassled less about it.
art bell
Martin in San Rafael says, and I think this is accurate and why I love interviewing you.
It says, Lazar continues to be the most credible witness of all.
Straightforward, direct, not self-serving.
No books, tapes, no website, nothing to sell.
He just describes what he saw, reluctantly at that.
He makes a believer of this skeptic.
So in that way, you really do sell your story.
I mean, you're so damn low profile about all of this, like you don't want it to.
bob lazar
Well, it's not a business.
I'm just relaying what happened to me at the time, and that's it.
That's the end of the story.
And where it's gone and why how all this stuff came about is beyond my scope of knowledge, and I don't profess to know anything that I haven't been exposed to.
But I will stand on what I have seen.
art bell
I've got that, but I mean, as incredulous as it sounds, why not believe other incredulous things?
I mean, if there are saucers here, if there were bodies recovered, if we actually have aliens, then certainly some of the stories about aliens could easily be true.
bob lazar
Well, and maybe so, but I'm spoiled.
I had some things verified to me and had hands-on experience.
I got to touch him.
I got to see him.
I got to analyze them and said, okay, this is real.
Now, for the layman or researcher or whatever that hasn't, everything is in the same category to them.
It's all conjecture.
You know, yet I've had some things proven to me, and I hold on to those like an anchor.
Okay, I know this is real, but I don't know about anything else.
I don't know if Betty and Barney Hill were abducted, but they have a compelling story.
I don't know if the Roswell crash occurred, but that's a compelling story.
Some of the stories you hear are totally illogical and don't make sense.
And to me, they fit in the category.
You know, you try and maintain an open mind and remain scientific about it, but you have prejudices in either direction, as most intelligent people do.
And, you know, there is, you know, I don't believe everybody that says they were abducted was abducted.
But they might have been.
How would I know?
It's just my own personal beliefs.
art bell
No, of course not.
I don't believe it all either, Bob.
Or even I might even go as far as say large chunks of it that I don't believe.
But some of this I do believe is true.
And based on what you saw and you know to be true, then it's not too hard to imagine that there was interaction.
We might not know the exact parameters of that interaction, but there was interaction with aliens.
bob lazar
Chances are there was in some way, shape, or form over a period of time.
By the way, on another note, I get so many emails about this.
Apparently, in some other show, and I just got three more recently.
In some other show, you spoke to somebody, a female, that said claimed that I took her out to Area 51 and showed her around.
art bell
That's right.
bob lazar
Does this ring a bell peer?
art bell
Oh, absolutely.
I remember that.
bob lazar
This is the most ridiculous story I've ever heard.
art bell
So that didn't happen either, huh?
unidentified
As if they allow visitors to top secret security installations.
That's absurd.
bob lazar
Who would even claim something like that?
art bell
I don't know.
bob lazar
Yeah, in either case, that's, you know, it's just another one of those knuckleheads that just likes to hear themselves talk for some reason.
art bell
Okay.
As a matter of fact, I had an email from this person just yesterday, Bob.
bob lazar
Really?
art bell
Yes, she imagines quite a relationship with you.
Oh, really?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Not true, though.
bob lazar
No.
art bell
First time caller line.
You're on the air with Bob Lazar.
Yo-ho.
unidentified
Okay.
I'm calling because I'm a physics student.
art bell
All right, speak up good and loud.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
art bell
That's better.
unidentified
I'm calling about the gravitational amplifier system.
I'm interested in this because I'm a physics student, and I was thinking that kind of at the forefront of physics research now is kind of a push to detect gravitational waves, which is a tough thing to do, and probably ultimately discover the gravitational particle, the graviton.
And I was thinking about this three-pole system that you described as very directional.
And maybe a gravitational current is involved.
I was wondering if that maybe hints at why we can't figure out what is going on there.
Do you have any thoughts on that?
bob lazar
Well, this is more of the research I wanted to conduct while there.
Well, I wanted to get down to the hardcore research and gravity and how the energy propagates by itself.
And by the way, I don't believe there are gravitons.
I don't believe there's particles involved.
I don't believe it's even a wave-particle duality, you know, like light photons are.
I think this is, well, it appears to be more of a wave effect.
And exactly how it propagates Is at least I don't personally understand that.
It almost seemed to propagate as microwaves did, since any time inside the craft the gravity, the basic gravity wave was rooted anywhere from the reactor to the amplifiers, it always traveled inside tuned pipes.
So again, that implies at a specific frequency you should have some sort of gravitational effect if it's just a basic carrier wave of some sort, but that doesn't appear to be true.
So it's something more than that.
art bell
Well, we know, don't we, that microwave can be carried in like oblong tubes, right?
Wave guide?
bob lazar
Right, exactly, wave guides.
art bell
So that's what connected the reactor to the skin of the craft and ultimately to the So then whatever the nature of this wave is, you could imagine it like microwave because it was carried according to your physical description, kind of the same way.
bob lazar
Right, but if it's just a basic wave, you know, you could just set up a high-frequency oscillator and then as you slowly increase the frequency, you get different effects.
You know, you get microwave, you get, and it's all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and you can get X-rays and whatever, and you should just run into gravity at some point, but you don't.
So there's something else there, but they were so concerned about the actual application of it, they weren't really concerned about the research into the basics of it, which probably if it would have been done that way when I was there, at least I think it would have given us a clue, at least a better clue, of how to use it and how to duplicate it.
art bell
But again, you think, Bob, don't you, that they're now still, if they haven't done it, they're certainly pursuing it.
You wouldn't give up on something like that, would you?
bob lazar
Are you kidding?
Not a chance.
art bell
Not a chance.
bob lazar
I'm sure just tremendous amounts of money are being funneled into this.
I'm sure they continue to handpick specific people that they can think anyway are going to keep their mouths closed and be involved with it.
But there was a frustration even when I got there.
art bell
By the way, I wonder what happened to the person that picked you.
It's a good question.
Hey, caller, caller, anything else?
unidentified
Yeah, actually.
I was wondering if Bob has.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lazar.
I shouldn't.
bob lazar
Bob is fine.
Mr. Lazar is my dad.
unidentified
I was wondering if you had any thoughts as to the propagation speed of the wave.
Gravity's Instantaneous Dance 00:07:52
unidentified
We know light travels at a certain speed, or at least we assume it's a constant speed.
Do you think that gravity is different?
art bell
Good, good question.
bob lazar
Yeah, excellent question.
Because from all indications, the propagation is instantaneous.
And I know that upsets everything.
But remember, gravity in itself distorts time and space.
And every way we attempted to measure the propagation from the reactor base to the emitters themselves, there was no delay at all.
And so I believe that I don't know if the wave is actually propagating instantly or the fact that it's a gravitational wave is distorting the time space around it and making it appear as it's an instantaneous propagation, but those are the results that we got.
art bell
Bob, you said you actually measured no delay at all.
How carefully was that measured?
I mean, no delay at all is quite a statement to make.
You could measure this.
bob lazar
Right.
There was no delay at all.
And we, again, envisioned other potential uses.
You know, here's look at communication to Mars.
There's still a flat 20 minutes between our little robot orbiters and things of that sort.
You know, here you have the potential if, in fact, there is instantaneous propagation of gravitational waves, Here's a fantastic communication device where there's no delay, where you can talk in real time at great distances.
So obviously there's just tremendous implications of this technology.
art bell
Even time travel.
bob lazar
It's possible.
Gravity distorts time.
art bell
And if the speed of gravity, which is not fine, is faster than light, then you certainly have time travel based on that alone.
bob lazar
Well, you know, like they say, time travel is a lot more common than you think.
Time travel to the future happens all the time.
All you have to do is stand on a high mountain, go into a spacecraft, travel fast.
You do slip nanoseconds into the future.
Time travel backwards is debatable whether or not that's even possible.
art bell
Well, we're off on a tangent.
Caller, any final thing.
unidentified
I guess there's one other thing.
You notice you mentioned an element 115.
I'm assuming that's atomic mass number.
And I think that goes further than the periodic table.
bob lazar
Is that true?
Right, that's correct.
unidentified
So maybe that kind of insinuates that you're dealing with higher amplitude gravity waves.
And just, I guess, more to start off with if you're going to amplify it.
bob lazar
Well, yeah, there's something unique about that element, just like there's something unique about the nuclear elements we use in reactors.
But something apparently happens different there that doesn't, and I know there were previous attempts to duplicate what was going on with other materials, other nuclear materials, and there was no success in that.
So there is something very unique about the fuel and specifically what it is, you know, on an atomic scale.
We were only just beginning to look into that.
art bell
Bob, I heard some rumors about some kind of speculating about or perhaps lab work going on something surrounding element 115.
It's just between when you told your story and now, sometime or another, I remember hearing about some legit science dabbling with the concept of 115 or something.
I can't remember.
bob lazar
Yeah, I believe it was the lab for heavy ion research in Darmstadt, Germany.
And at the time, they were on the cutting edge of coming up with new elements.
And they were shooting for producing element 115 at one point.
And they were using a new technique.
Instead of bombarding something with neutrons, they were just slamming nuclei together.
And somehow it was fusing into heavier elements.
But I don't think they reached it.
And in fact, I don't know if it was the same lab, but somebody found out that there was false data.
I mean, the last heavy element that was claimed might have been 113 or something.
art bell
What do we think the properties of this element would be, generally?
bob lazar
Well, that's hard to predict.
I mean, we certainly observed some unique properties of it.
It's incredibly heavy and incredibly dense.
Aside from that, the way the reactor worked in the craft was like a small accelerator, and it constantly bombarded the 115, which transmuted and immediately decayed, and that's when it produced its gravitational pulses.
And as a byproduct, it produced a tremendous amount of heat.
unidentified
And inside this one, all right, we're at the bottom of the hour.
art bell
Hold on.
This is really good stuff.
Bob Lazar is my guest.
But yeah, John Lear is on my mind.
Test tomorrow night for Dr. Greer.
unidentified
Come on, baby, don't feel free.
Baby, take my head.
You're feeling free.
You'll be able to fly.

art bell
Well, for sure, fascinating stuff.
Bob Lazar, man who's had hands-on with alien craft, hands-on with alien propulsion Element 115.
That's another story that you can't quite totally talk about, nor will John Lear.
In a moment, we continue with Bob.
Stay right where you are.
Mountains of New Mexico, directly to you and with you right now.
Here is Bob Lazar.
Bob?
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
You ready for more?
Sure.
Yeah, these are pretty good.
And you were in the middle of.
I don't want to miss out on anything else you'd like to say about the propulsion system and how Element 115 was acting in the process.
Element 115 Explosion 00:15:32
bob lazar
You know, I was on a roll at the minute, and now I can't go back.
art bell
Well, you remember you said it was hitting Element 115.
bob lazar
Oh, how the reactor operated.
I guess I drifted onto that.
And how the 115 itself was bombarded, released, in some way, shape, or form, releases a pulse of a gravitational wave, and kind of as a byproduct, releases a tremendous amount of heat, and that heat is converted to electricity, which runs the craft.
However, there's no wiring or any conventional connectors or controls or anything of that sort on the craft.
But all incredibly fascinating, and to a scientist, it's a dream come true.
So, yeah, sure, in some respects, I regret the way things turned out, but I don't know.
Maybe eventually we'll all find out what's going on.
art bell
Yeah, I wonder.
I really wonder as the world grows short of oil and the wars are raging because of it, and we prepare to go back to the moon, maybe in the shuttle of all things.
I don't know.
It just seems like if all of this really is there, and yet, and yet I guess the answer is that you suggest we have, as of, well, the date you knew anyway, not been successful in the back engineering attempt, so we don't have it down yet.
Or if we do, for some reason, we're not willing to begin to release it.
I mean, you'd think they could do it through industry, you know, sort of sliding things slowly into industry as some development or something just to get it into the economy.
bob lazar
Possibly.
And maybe that's already been done.
But every time somebody points at something, you know, there is also conventional explanations for it.
We really haven't seen anything incredibly amazing pop up.
We see improvements over products here and there.
You know, a couple things, but there really hasn't been any quantum leaps in recent times.
art bell
Well, you may recall if you ever heard Colonel Corso's story before he passed on, that he suggested that's exactly how a number of things made it from the Roswell crash to modern industry.
It's pretty interesting stuff.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Bob Lazar.
unidentified
Hello.
Hello.
art bell
Yes, hi.
unidentified
Okay.
Hi, Art.
Hi, Bob.
bob lazar
How are you there?
art bell
Speak up good and loud, sir.
unidentified
Okay.
This is Alan from Colorado, and I have three questions, so I hope you can bear with me.
My first question is, if Altrich Ames of the CIA can go to jail for so many years because he revealed government secrets, how is it that Bob was able to pull this off?
And then my second question.
art bell
Okay, let's do them one at a time.
Bob, a pretty good question.
If you'd been revealing secrets of the magnitude that we've been talking about tonight, well, of course, I can answer that.
bob lazar
So what would you jail me for?
You know, I know when somebody gives away secrets, satellite secrets or other technology secrets, and that information has to be brought out.
So, okay, you're going to take me to court and say, okay, you released the information.
What did he release?
Oh, well, secret stuff.
Well, what?
You're not going to trick them into admitting what they're trying to keep secret.
art bell
Yeah, and something of this magnet.
Exactly so.
So I guess I would answer that caller.
I mean, after all, if they charged him with something, they would simply underscore everything he said.
Next question.
unidentified
Okay, the next question is, are there not simpler ways to create gravitational propulsion effects, like with scalar waves, possibly?
I mean, we're talking Element 115.
This whole procedure seems so exotic and so advanced.
Can we not work now?
bob lazar
There have not been gravitational waves produced in any other method, and there are claims as such all over the place.
And people say you can do it with these Mercury engines.
I've heard scalar waves.
I've seen all of that data.
The bottom line is it's not real.
art bell
Next.
unidentified
Okay, last question.
T. Townsend Brown, John Searle, Victor Schauberger with his vortex technology, John Keel, Otis T. Carr, all these researchers, which this relates to the second question, and I think I know how you're going to answer it.
How do you feel about what they've so-called contributed to gravitational propulsion technology?
bob lazar
Contributed where?
Where is it?
Show me one.
Bring it down here.
I'll even fly and see it.
Every time I've wasted my time on that, looking at everybody that's claimed any of that stuff, it's never panned out.
art bell
It's like perpetual motion.
bob lazar
Yeah, there's plenty of claims.
And, you know, people want, you know, are looking for funding to research this or do that.
And, you know, for the most part, not for the most part, there is no device of any sort that can create a gravitational wave now.
And go ahead and prove me wrong, other than what was at S4.
art bell
Damn, you are such a reasonable person.
bob lazar
No, but that's a fact.
Please prove me wrong.
art bell
I will.
bob lazar
Ladies and gentlemen, check out what you're going to claim.
art bell
With you all the way, but you see, that's what makes your other claims so damn legit in my mind, just like that person who fast-blasted me.
Geez, Louise, in every other way, you're so.
bob lazar
Now, I'm not belittling these people that are doing this work.
You know, D. Domson Brown, many others were brilliant people doing work, and I think a lot of the things they observed have other explanations.
Yes.
And, you know, just because something lifts off the ground does not make it gravity propulsion.
But gravity propulsion, I define as something that's acting directly against gravity, and I don't mean being lifted by electrostatic force or something like that, something that's actually counteracting.
art bell
Your skepticism everywhere else just is so strange in light of what you say to the rest of us.
bob lazar
Look, I barely believe my own story.
It happened to me.
That's how big of a skeptic I am.
art bell
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Bob Lazar.
unidentified
Hello, Bob.
bob lazar
Okay.
unidentified
It's nice speaking to both of you.
art bell
And to you, sir.
unidentified
Where are you?
art bell
Out of curiosity.
bob lazar
I'm from Casadina.
unidentified
That's Andy.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Yes, for over 20 years, I've been within the research of exobiology.
I don't want to mention any names, but my ex-father-in-law, who was with the CIA at Groom Lake before he died of Agent Orange, he asked me if there's anything I would like to know about Area 51.
And I said, yes.
Is the government cover-ups of UFOs and ETs true?
He said, yes, because he stood guard several feet away within one of the hangar bays guarding ETs from the UFO that was being brought from one place to another.
art bell
But this person is, your dad has passed on.
unidentified
Yes, he passed away.
See, he was all fed up with the government for what they were doing to him because he spent so much time in the service and all that, you know, with them that they wouldn't do any more for him.
And so he just said to heck with it.
bob lazar
Yeah, they have a pretty bad record of taking care of their own people.
Right.
But yeah, you find a lot of people as they come close to the end of their lives.
Look what happened with the JFK thing.
Just if enough time goes by, people become more comfortable releasing what they know.
art bell
Yeah, well, that's why I said there've got to be other Bob Lazars out there, and there surely are.
So you take the very moral position that you would rather see them not come back for their own sakes than come back and verify your story.
bob lazar
Oh, absolutely.
If you're listening, don't listen to art.
Don't say anything.
art bell
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Bob Lazar.
Hello.
mike in wyoming
Hello, this is Bob in Beaverton, listening to KEX.
art bell
Yes, sir.
mike in wyoming
I want to know, Bob, have you ever heard of the work of Jerry Gallimore, who, under certain conditions, could see gravity?
bob lazar
No, never heard that before.
mike in wyoming
Okay, the way he did it was doing the old high school science class project, just lay a bar magnet on a table and put the paper on it and sprinkle the iron filings on it.
So you can see the magnetic lines of force.
bob lazar
Okay.
mike in wyoming
But Jerry was a Native American and something of a shaman.
And around the center point of that magnet, he could see a halo of energy that was gravity.
art bell
Okay, and here is where the...
bob lazar
Why did he think it was gravity?
art bell
The metaphysical meets science.
Well, regardless, he thought that.
So do you ever wonder about that at all, Bob?
I mean, the entire metaphysical world, maybe it's all hoo-eye, and maybe it's another one where you can say, prove it to me first.
But, boy, I'll tell you, there's some good stories out there.
I hear them all the time about things that we simply really don't understand regarding the afterlife.
bob lazar
I'm sure that that is true.
You know, To be so bold to say that, boy, we have science handled and we pretty much know what's going on and everything is cut and dry.
And, you know, that is so far from the truth.
We, you know, we are even at the tip of the iceberg as far as knowledge about everything around us and, you know, talk about the metaphysical stuff.
We really have no idea what's going on.
And a lot of these things that people think are silly, you know, and things that I may laugh at may actually turn out to be true.
So there's going to be a place to keep an open lens.
art bell
There's going to be a place, Bob, where the metaphysical, or something in the metaphysical, square on, meets science, and science suddenly will say, oh, my God, there is another side.
Or, oh, my God, we really now suddenly have proof to some degree of a soul, some way to prove something in the metaphysical.
Who knows what it might turn out to be, but somewhere science and metaphysical will suddenly meet, I predict it.
First time caller line, you're on the air with Bob Lazar.
Hello.
brendan cook
Hi, this is Ken in Salt Lake, and I'm just loving your program.
unidentified
You guys are both wonderful.
Thanks.
I have an observation and a question.
brendan cook
The observation is in Encarta, in Microsoft Encarta, in the encyclopedia, there's a reference about Element 115.
If you go into 1976, look under physics, 1976, it talks about element 115 as being present in a meteorite that came into the Earth's atmosphere.
art bell
Oh, okay.
unidentified
And also the heavier elements.
art bell
Wait a minute, sir.
Wait, wait, wait.
Where was this again?
brendan cook
In Encarta, which is the, I guess that's the, what is it, the encyclopedia that you get for your computer from Microsoft.
unidentified
Really?
brendan cook
And in Microsoft Encarta, and you go to 1976, we're under physics.
bob lazar
You're talking about a meteor that had element 115.
brendan cook
115, and they were able to measure it and deduce that it had element 115 in it.
And also the other reference is for 116 through about 124 at the end of the article.
It says they were measured in mica schist that was in Africa.
So in mica schist, which is, I guess, a rock formation, there's trace when they bombard it with a VandiGraft generator at high energy, gives off a pattern of atomic, some signature that shows that those elements were there.
unidentified
The logic is there, they talk about it.
bob lazar
Well, wow, that's really interesting.
Now, this isn't Encarta, we're not talking about something that's on the internet.
brendan cook
I were talking about Encarta that you'd buy for your computer, which is an encyclopedia from Microsoft, right?
unidentified
Microsoft software program you just have to do.
bob lazar
And what did you look up to find this?
brendan cook
Under Physics, 1976.
art bell
All right, great.
brendan cook
At the bottom of the article, it's in there, the reference.
unidentified
Okay, the other question I have, the only question I have is that.
art bell
All right, stop for a second.
Out there, if somebody would be so kind as to do the research, email it to me, I'll have it by tomorrow night.
Continue, sir.
unidentified
Okay, let's see.
One other question.
brendan cook
That is, I heard the rumor that somebody had tried to open one of the reactors somewhere on the facility there.
Somebody made that suggestion and there was an atomic explosion underground.
unidentified
Do you know anything about that?
bob lazar
Yeah, I heard that, and I heard that officially, too.
art bell
Oh, really?
bob lazar
Yeah, that was one of the things that was told to me.
In fact, that was one of the reasons why I worked there because I was allegedly replacing one of these people.
So the previous Bob Lazar got a little too close to what was going on, apparently.
And from what I recall from the story, I believe it was in March, and I don't remember the date, but it was announced as a nuclear test.
And there is a corresponding date for that test.
And what they have listed as the test is completely false information.
That was the detonation of the reactor at the test site.
art bell
The detonation.
So it exploded with the force of, you say they announced it as a unit.
bob lazar
It was a low-yield test.
A low-yield.
Remember, they used to do that in Las Vegas all the time.
art bell
Sure, I used to announce it, you know, get off high buildings, that kind of stuff.
bob lazar
Right.
They'd always tell you in advance.
But anyway, that data is on their site.
Not about what it was, but that date, and I don't remember it in March.
I'm sure George Knapp or one of those guys that takes it.
art bell
Do you know anything about the nature of the explosion?
bob lazar
Yeah, I know it was the intention was, well, the frustration was with the reactor at that point.
And for whatever reason, somebody had the bright idea.
Well, let's try and open it while it's operating.
art bell
Oh, really?
bob lazar
Yeah.
art bell
Oh, my.
bob lazar
Extra smart guys working on this problem.
So they took this one of the prototype, not the prototype rag, it was one of the reactors from one of the other craft.
And by the way, they all looked exactly the same, not the craft, but the reactors.
And they took it to the nuclear test site, and it was done remotely underground.
And the people monitoring it, apparently, were too close.
And they didn't realize the explosion was going to be that large, and it did.
And again, this isn't something I witnessed.
This is something I was told, but it was something I was told while I was out at the site.
So it just has another notch of authenticity because I heard it out there.

How many people allegedly lost their lives in this, do you know?
bob lazar
I don't recall.
It wasn't like there were a lot of people.
There were two or three people from what seems to stick in my mind, but I can't say that for sure.
I don't recall.
I did hear that exact story.
art bell
I'll be doggone.
I had never heard any of that.
Generating Hydrogen On-Demand 00:02:53
art bell
All right.
Wildcard Line, you're on the air with Bob Lazar.
Hello.
unidentified
Yes.
My name is Ben.
I'm just outside of Boston.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
And I've got a question going back to Bob's comments about running his car on hydrogen.
art bell
Okay, fire away.
unidentified
Okay.
Over the last bunch of years, Nexus magazine has run at least a couple of articles about running one's car on hydrogen using electrolysis.
In other words, generating the hydrogen on board on demand.
And I just some people I've spoken to about it say it's a ridiculous idea that it's impossible, that it would take I'm one of those people.
Really, more energy.
bob lazar
It's not happening.
You can't crack water that fast.
unidentified
Oh, really?
bob lazar
Yeah, you can't.
unidentified
Because there's a guy.
bob lazar
Unless you're carrying a nuclear power plant behind you.
You just can't.
Water doesn't come apart that fast.
And there are flash ways, in fact, I met a physicist from Sandia Labs here and was talking to him, and they have this neat device that kind of works on a plasma pulse and cracks water at much higher volume than electrolysis.
And in fact, a guy emailed me recently that has something that does that with hydrocarbons.
But as far as driving a car and having and producing hydrogen by electrolysis from water at a volume great enough to keep the car running, it's never going to happen.
unidentified
So you are required really to generate the hydrogen at some other time, some other place, and then pipe it into the car and store it.
You can't.
bob lazar
Our product is a small hydrogen generator, kind of like a dishwasher.
Sits in your garage, solar panels, and it takes two to three days to fill the tanks because it takes a lot of energy and it takes a long time to do it.
Now, there are faster ways, but they consume more power, well, some don't, but are more complicated, don't use water, so on and so forth.
Ours is low-cost, just uses, connects to the water line, uses solar panels, and slowly cranks out hydrogen.
And you can, over a period of two to three days, fill the tanks in your car, and then you can drive 700 miles.
Ideally, you'd have several sets of tanks and just fill them and whatnot, but that's it's the only way to do it.
I've been playing with hydrogen fuel systems since the late 70s, and you just can't make it fast enough.
unidentified
Caller, a few seconds.
Well, I'm all set.
Bob Lazar: Night Art 00:00:40
art bell
You're happy?
All right, then bye.
Thanks, thank you, thank you, and take care.
And I'm afraid that time is slipping by.
No, it has slipped by, and the end of the program is here.
So, hey, Bob, man, what a great program again.
Every time you come on, it's a great program.
bob lazar
Hey, always great to talk to you, Art.
art bell
And maybe next time you're here, I'll give you the Lear test.
Anyway, listen, thanks for being here, huh?
bob lazar
Hey, thanks again, Art.
art bell
Take care and good night.
Thanks.
He's a totally excellent interview anytime you talk to him.
Bob Lazar from the High Desert in the Middle of the Night.
I'm Art Bell.
See you tomorrow night.
unidentified
Bye.
