Hello, my name is Ben Lovegrove and in this video I'm going to talk about the film Bob
Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.
The film is the work of Jerry Corbell, is narrated by Mickey Rourke, and was released
in December 2018.
If you've never heard of it there's a link to it below this video.
If you've never heard of Bob Lazar then you're in for a treat. It should at least awaken
your curiosity.
It might also be one of those pivotal moments in life after which nothing is quite the same
again.
The film itself is an excellent piece of documentary film making and is a highly commendable movie.
I'm no more of a film reviewer than I am an art or food critic, so I'll leave that to
others. What I will say is do watch it, and keep an open mind as you do so.
About 30 years ago Bob Lazar took the courageous decision to become a whistleblower.
He had been recruited to assist with the reverse engineering of nine alien spacecraft - the
small, silver, flying saucers that have been the subject of so much discussion since Roswell
in 1947.
In the film he recounts the details of the information he gave three decades ago and
it's clear from all the investigative journalism that his story is consistent.
What comes across though, and this is pointed out in the film, is that Bob Lazar is a very
reluctant whistleblower.
His motivation for divulging these secrets was the fact that the alien technology is
being kept secret.
It is thus depriving the human race of the solutions to almost every problem the modern
industrial world faces.
It's technology that could provide free, clean energy for all our transportation; on land,
at sea, in the air, and into space.
Instead, these secrets remain locked away and only known in detail to those with the
highest level of security clearances.
If they were shared with the world's scientists then perhaps reverse engineering could continue
to the point where all the secrets are unlocked and humanity could benefit from them.
By now I've probably lost of few viewers as they roll their eyes and think, "What is this
gullible fool talking about?".
And that is a common reaction, because the main reason that there is rarely open and
intelligent debate about non-human intelligences in the universe is fear.
It is the fear of ridicule, of loss of reputation and respect, and the fear of what might happen
if the incontrovertible and uncomfortable truth finally came out.
No one wants to become that centre of attention for cynics and a jeering mob of critics.
Our addiction to social media is a symptom of a constant need for endorsement by others.
Say the wrong thing, hold the wrong point of view, and you risk unleashing the hounds
on yourself and perhaps being shunned altogether.
It's the modern day equivalent of being banished from the village.
It is fear of the impact on societies, religions, and economies if full disclosure occurred.
I expect all the major religions of the world have long since prepared contingency plans
for what would happen after disclosure.
And there's no future in oil, fossil fuels, and fracking if free energy becomes a reality.
So some of the world's richest will have to make some fundamental adjustments.
It is the fear of being caught out by hoaxers and fraudsters using the subject matter to
discredit investigators.
If you're in academia or a scientist who has a reputation that has taken decades to earn,
then admitting that you're investigating this subject matter will risk your house of cards
collapsing overnight.
But as the award winning journalist George Knapp reminds us, the logic that suggests
all dollar bills are fake just because you find a few fake dollar bills is crazy.
For example, today it's harder than ever to discern genuine from fake crop circles because
humans have learned to make intricate designs themselves.
These are far more sophisticated and artistic than the clumsy fakes of Doug & Dave in the
1980s.
Join any UFO Facebook group and you'll soon see that people continue to share videos that
are combination of natural phenomena with some CGI added to beguile the unwary.
Thirty years ago, before the Web and cyberspace, Bob Lazar gave us his version of the truth.
He now lives a modest life and admits he has mixed feelings about it all.
He gave us a large, shiny piece of the truth and it is widely available at the click of
a mouse or the tap of a finger.
Alexa, who is Bob Lazar?
OK Google, what did Bob Lazar discover?
Perhaps the generation that has grown up since 1989 will continue to unfold this mystery
with a little less skepticism and a lot more curiosity.
