but surely after decades of his initial claims. concrete evidence to support his past would have surfaced by now?
As i understand it the evidence they claim undermine the denials of his academic and professional history are his appearance in a phone directory of the los alamos research base (rejected by debunkers on the basis it doesn't say he was a scientist there) and a newspaper article at the time referencing him as a physicist working there (apparently also unacceptable to detractors on the basis that newspapers can be fooled!); the discovery by the documentary makers of the at-the-time use of a hand based security scanner which lazar had years earlier described and claimed to use but which - purportedly - had til now been scoffed at as a nonsense; and the - off camera - tracking down and confirmatory conversation with an unusually named security man from the S4 base. In the Rogan interview he's asked if he has no friends who attend MIT etc with him..and he says he's provided those names to Corbell, the documentary maker, who then appears to confirm that he has done so. They also offer up as corroborative subsequent scientific developments, namely the discovery of the real element 115 and the confirmation of gravitational waves.
Searching for a written account of these new details to save watching the documentary and joe rogan interview again, I've just found this claim which i don't recall being mentioned in either...
" Corbell was able to find a witness willing to go on the record. (............)Corbell got in contact with the man(....)who turned out be a legitimate physicist that Corbell was able to confirm did work at Los Alamos. Corbell asked the physicist, Dr. Robert Krangle, if he would be willing to go public with his claims, and he said yes.
Corbell shared some sound clips of an interview with Krangle. Krangle says that he worked on and off as a contractor for Los Alamos throughout the 80s, and still does occasionally.
“I was doing design project this, or an ancillary engineering. Their engineers have been beating a problem, and sometimes they get to close to a problem, so they can’t see the forest for the trees, so they bring in people like me as an outside contact to see what’s going on,” explained Krangle.
Krangle says he graduated from MIT in 1973 with a degree in semi-conductor physics.
Corbell says he has
found an article that listed Krangle’s credentials. Krangle also showed Corbell IDs showing he worked at other facilities doing high tech work, such as China Lake, Kirtland Air Force Base, Los Alamos, Sandia, and the Manzano weapons storage facility.
Corbell asked Krangle directly if he knew Lazar to be working as a physicist at Los Alamos, to which Krangle says he was certain.
“He was a physicist. Which, I am a physicist. We kind of recognize each other, you know it’s the classic pocket condom with all of the proper different colored pens, so he fit that mold. If nobody would have told me, one look, he is a physicist. You know, he is properly dressed in geekdom,” Krangle told Corbell.
Not only did he look the part, but Krangle says he attended security meetings with Lazar. He explained that in these meetings “they give you the usual briefing asking you not to talk about that you are doing or seeing.”
As for what specifically Lazar was working on, Krangle says, “I didn’t know what he was up to anymore than he knew what I was up to.”
Krangle also says he understood why Lazar’s employers were so upset with him.
“I understand how Los Alamos would blackball him. He committed professional suicide,” Krangle explained. “He broke from the fold and talked about it. Within that security community. It is that mentality: ‘Don’t talk about what you do.'”
Knapp asked Corbell why Krangle would be sharing this information if he knew he could also get in trouble. Corbell said that Krangle is “just one of those renegades.” He explained that Krangle no longer makes a living off of his Los Alamos contracts, so he isn’t worried about it."
Obviously none of this tells you anything about whether Lazar's claims about ufos are remotely true. But they do suggest the idea that denials he was ever at place X or there's no record of him attending Y may indeed have some official interference behind it.
