I'm surprised the article doesn't reference the recent Bob Lazar documentary which deals with this alleged tech from a first-hand perspective (Bob was a whistleblower in a lab that worked on a kind of gravity drive, according to him.) It's quite well-produced, and it's probably the only UFO-related film I consider worth watching: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/bob-lazar-area-51-flying-saucers/id1441638753 https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/bob-lazar-area-51-flying-s...

    His story is full of holes. He claims that he has a master’a degree in physics, but cannot produce a diploma, his master’s thesis of the names of any classmates or professors. Furthermore, he has never demonstrated that level of knowledge of physics and the things that he does say are bizarre at best. There’s no evidence that The facility that he allegedly worked exists. There isn’t any trace of roads or any infrastructure for it. The location that he gives is right on the edge of the restricted airspace surrounding Area 51, which seems odd for a super secret facility. There are a bunch of little things. In one interview he mentions seeing an alien through a window in a door. His escort guard tells him not to look. Somehow the government is able to secretly reverse engineer alien technology, but can’t spring for some curtains? To put it simply, there’s no evidence to support it. He has never been able to produce a sample of any extraterrestrial material nor has he shown that he has any knowledge that is beyond current physics. Personally, I’m fond of [this idea](http://www.otherhand.org/home-page/area-51-and-other-strange-places/looking-at-the-bob-lazar-story-from-the-perspective-of-2018/ http://www.otherhand.org/home-page/area-51-and-other-strange...). Basically that Bob Lazar schmoozed his way into a job at Area 51 due to a chance meeting with Edward Teller. He brought people to watch a classified test (of experimental, but completely terrestrial technology) and got into deep shit over it.

  My favorite speculation about Lazar is that they subjected him to some kind of giant put on (basically a black project version of the "big store" con) as some kind of disinformation campaign aimed at foreign intelligence or even just some kind of social engineering experiment. Lazar saw what he saw, but it was fake.

Oh, lord. Bob has been thoroughly discredited. Like utterly and completely. His credentials do not check out. Nothing he says checks out. Nothing he says even makes sense when you apply the most basic understanding of physics or even simple logic to his claims. But the guy is amazing to listen to, and I really think he believes every word he says. And that's a bit scary — to be that deluded.

Thank for sharing this. Always wondered what happened to Bob Lazar and they did a good job re-telling the original story and interviewing his friends/wife. Took me a moment to realize that his ‘United Nuclear’ was the very company where I ordered some radioactive ore a few years ago to test my electronic kit Geiger counter that we put together with the kids as a science project.
