About this episode

The episode discusses Bob Lazar's controversial claims about reverse-engineering alien spacecraft and the skepticism surrounding his story.

Since 1989, Lazar has claimed he was recruited to reverse-engineer alien spacecraft at S4, a secret facility near Area 51, where he encountered a sleek "sports model" saucer powered by element 115. But is Bob Lazar a misunderstood genius whose records were scrubbed by the government, or is he just the UFO community’s most committed bullshitter?
