Bob is telling the truth 100%. The government has now come forward and said that they have been working on and retrieving alien technology and bodies both living and dead from crash and donation sites (donation sites being sites where there were "crashes" without a body or a survivor leading officials to speculate they sent us that craft for some reason) 2605:59C8:410:6710:7627:5764:4A1A:1E1D (talk) 16:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps you did not read the post immediately above yours. I will paraphrase it here: If you, or any other editor, has any reliable sources to support the claim that Bob is telling the truth 100%, then please present those sources here.

Even if a phonebook was a reliable source for anything, what exactly would it tell us beyond Lazar being listed in a phonebook? JoJo Anthrax (talk) 16:46, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
Our article explains: Inquiry into Lazar's position at Los Alamos revealed his role to have been a technician for a contractor firm, and that he worked neither as a physicist or for the lab directly The cited sources mention the telephone directory entry showing he worked as a tech (not as a scientist, as he claims) and for a subcontractor (not Los Alamos, as he claims). - LuckyLouie (talk) 17:47, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
this was nothing but a smear job. I agree with the comment above that there has never been an article like this on Misplaced Pages, and if Misplaced Pages wants to continue on asking people for money they really need to give this some serious thought 2603:7080:6DF0:6E70:512C:677A:EAB7:F52C (talk) 08:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
I invite you to read the many previous sections of this Talk page, wherein it has been explained many, many times that Misplaced Pages content is derived solely from reliable, secondary sources. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 13:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Well-put. For example, Lazar never claimed to have earned a master's degree from MIT (yet this article, absent any sources, states that he does). Bob had been very clear that he attended a few courses at MIT, but that his degree is from Cal-Tech.
And to characterize the man as a conspiracy theorist is laughable. He's a whistleblower who alleges to have worked on clandestine programs. Whether or not that part of his story is even entirely accurate makes him no less of a whistleblower... and one who quite clearly dislikes conspiracy theories, based on both his statements on the matter itself, and his general deference to science.
But predominantly he's spent his career after that constructing alpha radiation detection equipment, which is how United Nuclear made its name... and donating all proceeds from interviews to the science programs at his local high schools.
I invite you to read the many previous sections of this Talk page, wherein it has been explained many, many times that Misplaced Pages content is derived solely from reliable, secondary sources. If you have any reliable, secondary sources that support your claims, then go ahead and add that sourced content to the article. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 13:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
