Who Is Bob Lazar?
The documentary mainly focuses on his revelation of government conspiracies to downplay extraterrestrial existence. Although the documentary seeks to prove alien existence, knowing who Bob Lazar truly is will help audiences’ belief in the “facts” presented. Lazar was born Robert Scott Lazar in Coral Gables, Florida, on January 26, 1959. In High School, Lazar was reportedly a below-average student, graduating in the bottom third of his class. Bob Lazar’s fascination with chemicals has been an age-long obsession, as he reportedly took only one science course (chemistry) in High School.
Public records show he attended Pierce Junior College, a public community college in Los Angeles. Bob Lazar claimed to have obtained master’s degrees in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and electronics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). So far, both institutions have publicly denied his claim to have ever been their student. For this reason, Bob Lazar is widely regarded as a “self-proclaimed” physicist.
In his 1989 revelation, Bob Lazar stated he was privy to information he was releasing because he worked in a secret facility, S-4, near the Nellis Air Force Base, popularly known as Area 51. Bob Lazar claims to have been employed by the United States government to help reverse-engineer one of nine flying saucers belonging to aliens. He also claims to have seen documents indicating that there have been human and alien interactions for the past 10,000. The Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers documentary talks about his findings in detail but does not provide any evidence. Bob Lazar is married to Joy White.
Who Are The Minds Behind the Documentary?
Self-described ufologist celebrity and UFO enthusiast Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell directed Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. Corbell is quite popular among UFO enthusiasts, as he had previously produced a documentary centered around paranormal and UFO-related claims. His earlier project, Hunt for the Skinwalker, centered around the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. Corbell based the Hunt for the Skinwalker documentary on George Knapp and Colm Kelleher’s book on the subject matter.
In Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers, Corbell uses an interview-style approach for much of the documentary.
