It is a rare privilege to come across a piece of work that not only sheds light on the life of an individual, but also becomes a foundational resource for all subsequent research. Tom Mahood’s investigation into the life of Bob Lazar, including The Lazar Timeline, is one such remarkable example. Mahood’s meticulous research not only provided invaluable insight, but also established a robust framework for those seeking to expand upon his findings.
This updated timeline is built upon the foundation laid by Mahood, and aims to incorporate new information and developments since his original research.

| March 21, 1942 | Carol Nadine Asher Born in San Francisco, CA. | Birth Certificate | |
| January 26, 1959 | Robert Scott Lazar Born in Coral Gables, Florida. | The location, Coral Gables, is given in Good’s book. Good also states that George Knapp checked with the hospital Bob claims to have been born at in Coral Gables and “..no records could be found.” (1) The date is from Bob’s first marriage certificate, however only his State of birth is listed, not the city. (10)A note on birth records in Florida. There are usually 3 different locations birth records are kept. The first, the hospital of birth, is also the least reliable, since it not an “official” repository of records. Records may or may not be found there. The next source, which is very reliable, is the Health Department of the County of birth. However, the best and most comprehensive birth record source for the State of Florida is the State Department of Health and Rehabilitation Services, Vital Statistics, PO Box 210, Jacksonville, FL 322231-0042. (904) 359-6900 (Recorded info). This location maintains copies of all birth records for the State, going back to 1917. However, as a result of a State statute enacted in 1987, all birth records in Florida are now considered confidential. Copies, or even information from certificates, may only be issued to the birth registrant, the parents or legal guardian, or a legal representative of the registrant. So it appears no one can verify the claim that Bob’s birth records have vanished without his written permission. In more recent disclosure in an Internet newsgroup, Gene Huff (Bob’s friend and partner) disclosed the reason Bob had difficulty obtaining a copy of his birth record was due to his adoptive status, but one was finally acquired. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline |
| 1974 | Robert Lazar’s Social Security number issued in New York State. | Bob’s Social Security number and current address, while in the public records, have been deleted from this document in the interests of his privacy. However, the SS # begins with 068 which indicates it was issued in the state of New York. It is possible to determine from the remainder of the SS # that it most likely was issued in 1974. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline |
| June 12, 1974 | Carol Asher involved in robbery and murder. | Carol and two associates — Gary Burkett, a member of the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, and his wife Victoria — enter the home of Dennis Passaro, where he is subsequently murdered. | Bob Lazar: Shadows |
| June 13, 1974 | Carol Asher and 15 year old boy arrested and charged after vehicle tow. | Police officers search Carol’s car and discover amphetamine powder and tablets, as well as stolen goods. Both Carol and the boy were promptly arrested and charged with possession of dangerous drugs and possession of property with altered serial numbers. | Bob Lazar: Shadows |
| March 12, 1975 | Carol Asher Sentenced for her role in the robbery and murder of Dennis Passaro. | The length of Carol’s sentence was not reported. At the time, the minimum sentence for second-degree murder in California was set at five years. Per California law, she would have been required to serve a minimum of two-thirds of her sentence before becoming eligible for release. Based on this requirement and accounting for time served, the earliest date for her potential release would have been November 1977. | Bob Lazar: Shadows |
| August 1976 | Robert Lazar graduate from W. Tresper Clark High School in Westbury, New York. | According to Stanton Friedman, Bob graduated from W. Tresper Clarke High School (740 Edgewood Drive, East Meadow Union Free District) in Westbury Long Island, New York. His class standing was number 261 out of a class of 369. Further, according to Friedman, this would put Bob in the bottom third of his class and entry into Cal Tech or MIT generally requires the student be in the top 10% of the class. (15) | Otherhand Lazar Timeline |
| Fall of 1976 | Bob admitted at Los Angeles Pierce College. | According to Pierce College staff, Bob is admitted in fall of 1976. He was associated with LAPC from Fall 1976 to Spring 1979. He took mostly Electronics classes. He does not appear to have received any degrees or certificates. After Bob stated that one of his professors at Cal Tech was named “Duxler”, Stanton Friedman located a William Duxler, a Math and Physics professor at Pierce College, who was able to determine that Bob had taken at least one of his courses in the late 1970’s. Duxler said he never taught at Cal Tech. (15) | Bob Lazar: Education Revelations |
| Fall of 1976 | Bob claims employment at Fairchild Electronics begins. | “I also got a job working for a company called Fairchild Electronics. They manufactured equipment to test something called ‘bubble memory’ devices.” Excerpt from “Dreamland: An Autobiography” | “Dreamland: An Autobiography” by Bob Lazar |

| 1978 | Bob claims to have received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and Electronic Technology from Pacifica University. | According to Bob’s Pre-Sentence Report for his pandering conviction (Case 94922). Pacifica was shut down in 1978 by the State of California for selling degrees. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline |
| 1977 or 1978 | Bob claims to have attended Cal State University, Northridge, “for a short time for some classes”, then on to CalTech. | Claims to have attended Cal State University, Northridge, “for a short time for some classes”, then on to CalTech. (14)“The Big T” is the student yearbook for CalTech. At the Millikan Library at CalTech, every page of every issue of “The Big T” from the year 1977 through 1982 was checked. There is no photo or mention of Bob anywhere in any of the activities, highly improbable were he a student there. Checking by George Knapp (1) and Stanton Friedman with the administration revealed no records of Bob’s attendance. Although Good reports Friedman has confirmed Bob’s attendance at Cal State Northridge, Friedman says this is not correct and he has not made any inquiries to Cal State Northridge. (There was a Robert Lazar who graduated from Northridge in 1978 with a degree in Business Administration, but examination of the yearbook clearly indicates he’s a different Lazar)(1) (15) According to Pierce College, Bob was attending LAPC for the entirety of both 1977 and 1978. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline Bob Lazar: Education Revelations |
| July 27, 1980 | Bob marries Carol Nadine Asher in Woodland Hills, California. | Carol uses the alias “Carol Nadine Strong”, and a false birth year of 1946. According to the marriage certificate, at the time of the marriage they were both living at 21619 Strathern, #1, Canoga Park, California. The certificate list’s Bob’s occupation as “Electronics Engineer” and his highest school grade completed as 12. Bob’s birthdate was listed as January 26, 1959 in Florida. Carol’s occupation was listed as “Electronics Technician” and her highest school grade completed was also 12. Carol’s date of birth was listed as March 21, 1946. The certificate lists this as the first marriage for both. Per the certificate Bob’s parents were Albert Lazar and Phyllis Berliner (maiden name), both born in New York state. Carol’s parents were listed as Harold Strong (actual surname “Asher”), born in California, and Verda Jones (maiden name), born in Colorado. The marriage was witnessed by Chee Leung of 1485 1/4 Scott Avenue in Los Angeles, and Lois Kurz of 15210 Sherman Way, #52, in Van Nuys. The marriage was conducted by Rabbi Bernard M. Cohen of 23300 Aetna Street in Woodland Hills, Calif. (Certificate # 1980 O-025327) (10) | Otherhand Lazar Timeline Bob Lazar: Shadows Marriage Certificate |
| “Probably 1982“ | Date of claimed Masters of Science in Physics Degree from MIT. | At Rachel-93, Bob was asked for the year of his graduation from MIT and if he got a Ph.D. He replied, “No, it was a Master’s degree. The year. What was the year of graduation? Probably eighty two because I think I left there and went to Los Alamos.” Glenn Campbell checked the following sources at the Institute Archives at MIT (See reference 14): Student directories between 1978 and 1990, Faculty/Staff phone directories between 1978 and 1990, MIT Degree List between 1979 and 1980, and the 1989 MIT Alumni/ae Register. There was no listing of Bob in any of these documents. (16) Stanton Friedman has also checked with the MIT Registrar’s office and the Alumni office and has found no evidence of attendance. Friedman reports Bob is not on the 1982 commencement list. On the presentence report for his pandering conviction, Bob gave 1982 as the year of graduation, and | Otherhand Lazar Timeline Presentence Report |
| May 1982 | Bob and Carol Lazar move to Los Alamos, NM | The June 27, 1982 Los Alamos Monitor article on Bob and his jet car states that they moved to Los Alamos “about a month ago from California.” According to the Los Alamos Monitor, Bob and Carol moved to Los Alamos from California. From the dates and addresses listed in the bankruptcy papers, it appears they settled in a rented duplex at 3964-B Sycamore and at some later date opened a photo processing business at 941-A 18th Street. | Monitor Article |
| May 18, 1982 | Los Alamos National Laboratory issues Z-Number for Bob Lazar. | According to Los Alamos National Laboratory, security records show Bob was issued a Z-Number on May 18th, 1982. | LANL Correspondence |
| June 27, 1982 | Los Alamos Monitor article published about Bob and his Honda jet car. | The article, which appeared on the front page, identifies Bob as “..a physicist at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility.” The reporter who authored the article, Terry England, has since stated that he does not remember verifying that Bob was a physicist at the lab: “I kind of took it at face value. I talked to a lot of guys up there at Los Alamos who were nuclear physicists and I pretty much accepted what they said.“ There are a total of four photos of what appear to be a Honda Civic hatchback (California license plate JETUBET) with air scoops on the top and sides, and a jet nozzle protruding from the rear where the license plate would normally go. The article says the engine, composed of stainless steel and titanium, runs for 30 to 60 seconds on liquid propane with a kerosene afterburner producing 800 pounds of thrust. Oddly, “The jet cannot get the car going from a dead stop…” and must be driven in the normal manner up to about 90 mph. There is no compressor and Bob claimed it was “..the most efficient jet engine available. A standard jet uses six pounds of fuel for every pound of thrust; Lazar said he uses 1.3 pounds of fuel for a pound of thrust.” Bob stated the car had been driven over 200 mph on a dry lake near Los Angeles. The article states the car “…attracts a lot of attention for the Lazars, who moved to Los Alamos about a month ago from California.” From the article’s descriptions of the Lazars’ experiences in California, it appears they had been there for some time before coming to Los Alamos. | Monitor Article Bob Lazar: There’s More to the Story |
| June 28, 1982 | Dr. Edward Teller Lecture | Dr. Edward Teller gives a lecture at Los Alamos and Bob claims to have met him prior to the talk as Teller was reading Sunday’s newspaper story about Bob and his jet car (The Monitor was not published on Mondays). The Los Alamos Monitor of June 29, 1982 reported on its front page that Teller spoke at length against the nuclear freeze movement in this country. The article also said the auditorium at LANL was packed. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline |
| October 21, 1982 | Bob listed in Los Alamos National Laboratory Telephone Directory | Bob’s entry lists “K/M” as his organization, indicating he is a contractor for Kirk-Mayer. Bob’s direct supervisor, John Jarmer, and another employee at the lab have confirmed that Bob was employed as an electrical technician, and to their knowledge was never employed there as a physicist. Stanton Friedman states: “The listing after Bob’s name clearly shows K/M which means Kirk Mayer and proves he did NOT work for LANL, but for a subcontractor. This seems appropriate since the Meson Facility mentioned in the Monitor article is a user facility with teams coming from all over to set up their equipment for experiments at the accelerators. As many as 1000 people per year can go through there. They work at the Lab, NOT for the Lab. They do get listed in the phone directory.” Strangely, the bankruptcy file in 1986 does not show employment at LANL or Kirk-Mayer (correct spelling), only that of a self-employed photo processor. | Bob Lazar: There’s More to the Story Otherhand Lazar Timeline |
| February 11th, 1983 | Bob Lazar’s entry no longer present in LANL Telephone Directory. | Bob’s entry does not appear in the alphabetical directory of all Los Alamos employees as of February 11th 1983. As such, it can now be established that he was no longer employed at the lab by this date. Bob’s Z number was issued on May 18, 1982, therefore the maximum length of his employment at the lab is 8 months and 23 days. | Bob Lazar: Excursions |

| 1985 | Bob claims he and Carol purchase or invest in “Honeysuckle Ranch” legal brothel in northern Nevada. | Per the April 1994 issue of Omni magazine, “…while on vacation in Nevada, he (Bob) wound up buying into a legal Reno brothel; the investment proved so profitable that he didn’t have to return to full time employment for a while”. Per Good, it was owned by Bob and Carol, and called the “Honeysuckle Ranch” in northern Nevada. In the bankruptcy papers filed in 1986, no mention is made of any ownership or income from a brothel. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline |

| April 19, 1986 | Bob marries Tracy Anne Murk at the “We’ve Only Just Begun” Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. | At the time, Bob was apparently still legally married to Carol. No divorce proceedings were on file with the Clark County Clerk’s office, and Carol’s published obituaries and death certificate identified Bob Lazar as her husband at the time. The minister at the wedding was William Sharp and the recorded marriage certificate was mailed to 1073 Cheyenne, Los Alamos, the home of his friend and colleague at LANL – Joe Vaninetti. (OR 0765:0400067) (11) | Otherhand Lazar Timeline |
| April 21, 1986 | Carol Lazar died in Las Vegas. | Carol Lazar’s death certificate (# 001423–86) is on file with the Clark County Health District. The death was ruled a suicide and the cause was carbon monoxide poisoning. The method was given as “Inhalation of motor vehicle exhaust”. It occurred at 1933 Ann Greta. Bob Lazar has stated that Carol committed suicide because she had been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. According to the police report: “On 4/21/86, approximately 0735 hrs., BOB LAZAR arrived at his residence after being gone the weekend. Upon entry to the residence, heard a vehicle running in the garage. Went into the garage; found his wife apparently deceased in the garage. He then turned off the vehicle and contacted medical and police personnel who responded. BOB LAZAR stated that he was out of town pursuing his occupation as a race car driver and when he returned home today he found his wife deceased. A note is found inside of the house and basically says she is tired of it; she wanted no big funeral, no flowers, cremation and it said, ‘I did it by myself’ and is signed CAROL LAZAR.” According to the Coroner’s report: “Husband reports finding the victim as described this date at 7:30 A.M. following his return from out of state. Husband reports talking to decedent by telephone Saturday, 4-19-86. Husband states they have had marital difficulties; that the deceased has talked of suicide.” Quoting the obituary in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, April 23, 1986, Page 2B: “Carol Lazar died Monday. She was a two-year resident of Las Vegas and was a self-employed film processor in the photography industry. She is survived by her husband Robert of Las Vegas. Private services and burial were handled by Davis Funeral Home”. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline Police Report Coroner’s Report |

| July 21, 1986 | Bob Lazar files for bankruptcy. | Bob voluntarily filed for a Chapter 7 (which is a liquidation) bankruptcy in Las Vegas citing “loss of business” and “death of spouse” as reasons.(Case BK 86–01623). (13)In the file, under penalty of perjury, Bob stated his occupation was a Photo Processor, that he was self employed at his residence, and had been so for 6 years. There was no mention of employment at LANL. When asked if he had been in a partnership with anyone or engaged in any business within the preceding 6 years, Bob stated “No”. Within the preceding 2 years, Bob stated the amount of income he received from his trade was “Unknown”, that he had received no other income from other sources and had not filed tax returns for the period.

And he said, well, I’m going to go and I said, okay, fine… he said why don’t you come over tonight cause the guy’s going to be on TV. So, I think, this is the first time I saw anything and it was some special that was on TV about people being abducted and stuff like that and I don’t remember exactly what was going on in there, but John was telling his normal UFO story and there were a couple of other people… you know… I’ve been abducted… so, that was the first time I’d seen John on TV.]” The program features guests that claim: -Aliens made an agreement with the US Government that the aliens would operate from a facility at Area 51, aka Dreamland.

But we might have something in the near future. Which was probably a day or two after. Okay, I went out… that’s where the other interview was… now why that’s not written down, I don’t know. Unless something is written here, which is scribbled out… cause that’s about where it should have happened. It was about a day after. Q: They called you back and said would you come in that day? L: Right. And that’s when the big interview was… wait, that’s a Saturday… that’s impossible. Q: Well, that’s okay… we’ll say a day or two later.” Separately, John Andrews asserts that Bob told him this was his second interview at EG&G. Andrews: “Bob Lazar had a near-3 hour interview at E. G. & G. offices in Las Vegas. They were impressed with him, hired him.” | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) John Andrews Correspondence with Dr. Teller’s Secretary. |
| December 5, 1988 | Bob claims second interview at EG&G that is not recorded on his calendar. | “Bob: It might have been Monday the 5th… and the only reason it’s not written down is cause we thought Tracy was pregnant that day… That’s a PRG=1. Gene: Oh, Preg One, that’s right. Bob: Then there’s doctor stuff, so… and the day doesn’t seem to start till three o’clock, so that makes sense to me.” Bob did not tell John Andrews anything happened on this date. | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) John Andrews Correspondence with Dr. Teller’s Secretary. |
| December 6, 1988 | Bob claims third interview at EG&G, first visit to Area 51 [Not S4]. | “Bob: The following day the 6th was another short interview… meeting people and then finally going up there. Q: This is the day they flew you up there… the sixth… one day after the panel? Bob: That doesn’t make sense. This is the day that I went there. I remember writing “Trip to Nowhere” on there. Gene Huff: That’s when you went to S4 the first time. Bob: Yeah, this is the first trip to Area 51. Huff: Are you sure… where was the EG&G…” Later in the interview, Bob clarifies that this visit was only to Area 51 and not the S4 facility. There is heavy confusion around this date. Read transcript for full exchange. _____________________________________________ John Andrews writes: “Bob met at E. G. & G. Special Projects Office at McCarran Field and was flown out to Area 51 (Groom Lake, NV) for his first day on site at Area S4 adjacent to Papoose Lake, NV.” John Andrews was not told of an interview on this date. _____________________________________________ John Lear claims Bob visited him in the evening and Bob told him that he had seen a “disc” at the facility.

| Mid-December | Bob claims first trip to S4, not recorded on calendar. | “Gene Huff: What did you go to S4 twice in December, right? Bob: No… S4 once… Groom Lake once. Huff: Oh… okay. Bob: And I went before Christmas. So before the 23rd… Huff: Because they broke for Christmas, didn’t they… Bob: Yes, before the 23rd is the second trip there and I don’t know where that occurred.” | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) |
| Before December 23rd, 1988 | Bob claims second trip to S4, not recorded on calendar. | Bob: Well, I’m saying before that date… I went on the second trip to S4. … and this is the day that they had done the allergen test up here… | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) |

Now Lear is written at the top here and I don’t know why — looks like it was written in after the date was written, but I can’t be sure. Q: Just so that you’re anchoring with regards to these trips… is this a trip in which you were exposed to files? Bob: Oh, yeah, all of them were. | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) |
| January 24, 1989 | Bob writes “Go to work” on calendar entry. Claimed fourth trip to S4. | Bob: And, in fact, when I get back from Los Alamos on the 24th… I go out again… | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) |

No “work” entries in February. | Gene Huff: Aren’t there just big blotches of days where you just “X” out days and don’t write anything… any of those can be work days? Bob: Yeah, I was just looking for something that might look… There’s nothing in February… well, I went to work in there somewhere. Where I don’t know… I don’t see anything… Q: Once a week? Bob: No, not always… there should have been a couple of trips during that month. | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) |
| February 1989 | Bob and Gene Huff appear to enter “small business innovative research program” in effort to receive grant money for a business idea. | Gene Huff: there were other things going on… remember, we were… that’s when we got the small business innovative research program… which is a big government (UNCLEAR) by different agencies for companies of 400 people or less… they put up funding and they need innovative research in different levels… level 1, 2, 3… for instance, the guys who fly the F15’s or this or that, they need a cooling system to go inside their flight suits to keep them cool… for instance if it’s level three, you can get all the information, they go… here’s where we’re at and here’s where our problem is… what is your idea to solve it and, if you come up with some ideas, then they’ll fund… give you money… and then, if you further the idea, make a working model, they can be manufactured… like even the defense contract can buy it from you… and this is to keep all the big, giant companies from getting all the business. | New Line Cinema Screenwriting Interview (Calendar) |

| April 6th, 1989 | Bob claims he was driven to Indian Springs AFB and “debriefed” after being caught. | Bob says he was ordered to report to Indian Springs where he was interrogated about the previous night’s activities. In Good’s book Bob says “I was never officially fired and my clearance was never officially taken away”, but that he refused to go back for fear of his safety. In Lindemann’s book, UFOs and the Alien Presence, the following exchange occurs: Gene Huff: Everyone thought that he got kicked out of the program and lost his security clearance because he took us out there, but in fact that was not true. He was still in the program. But then there was a dry spell when they didn’t call him for a long time, and it was driving him crazy. As it ended up, they were hearing his now ex-wife on the phone with her boyfriend. They didn’t want to break the news to him that she was having an affair. Then one day, after she told Bob, she called her mother and said “I had an affair, and I told Bob.” Once they heard that she told Bob, they called him down and rejected his security clearance, saying that you have to be emotionally, financially, and every kind of stable to get that high a security clearance. Didn’t they even say you could re-apply in six to nine months? Bob: Right. That’s why I left S4. I didn’t actually leave, they denied my clearance. Lindemann: …you took those people out there, and that in itself did not constitute enough of a breach of your security vows? Bob: (Laughing) Oh yes, to them it did. But they never said “We’re pulling your security clearance, you’re no longer working, never come back,” or whatever. I was just debriefed the next day, which was quite an unpleasant experience. Essentially, they gave me a slap on the wrist. | Otherhand Lazar Timeline UFOs and the Alien Presence |

| August 19, 1989 | Bob claims Dennis Mariani, his supervisor at S4, calls him and they agree to meet at a casino in Las Vegas. | Bob’s old boss Dennis from Groom Lake called and wanted to meet w/ him in the evening. Dennis declined to meet Bob at Bob’s house. So it was finally arranged for Bob to meet Dennis at one of the casino bars downtown at 8:30. Bob found Dennis there, but Dennis would not acknowledge Bob. Dennis completely ignored him, wouldn’t look him in the eyes, [and] said nothing. And when Bob stood right in front of him, he just walked around Bob. Very strange! | Joe Vaninetti’s Diary |
| August 30, 1989 | Bob claims Dennis calls Bob and threatens him with death | Dennis called Bob back. He sounded angry and threatening. Told Bob [that] “they” weren’t going to allow Bob to complete his project (HIDS). Bob volunteered to go public and retract all that he has said. Dennis response to that was “It’s too late for that now. We’re going to kill you.” He then hung up the phone. | Joe Vaninetti’s Diary |
| October 19, 1989 | Bob claims he was chased by car for 20 minutes, interview with George Knapp followed. | Just talked to Bob L. briefly on the phone. He said that while out on his route today, he was chased again. A high-speed chase that lasted 20 minutes. He said he had so much adrenaline in his stomach when it was all over that he felt like vomiting. He said that he would call me back later as the film crew (I assume George Knapp) had arrived. Bob called my house from a payphone. Said that Jim was grilled by security people this evening. They wanted to know all of what Bob had told him. Threatened his clearance, etc. Bob went in the afternoons. All of this has come about because George Knapp of Channel 8 in Las Vegas started airing segments of an 8-part story about UFOs and the Government involvement. It started Monday on the 6’oclock news. Bob is one of the key people in this series. Bob told me not to call anyone in Las Vegas. He’ll get in touch w/ me. | Joe Vaninetti’s Diary |
| November 8, 1989 | Bob claims government broke into his house and stole the Element 115 and other two unidentified materials. | Bob called from GUFON’s. Said that “they” (Government people) broke into his house today while he was on his route. They took the 115, all of the clear stuff, and all of the clear liquid. Bob is worried about what is happening to Jim. His phone line at work isn’t working any more. Things are starting to get spooky. I expect to be visited soon. I’ve hauled most of my valuable things out of the house. I’m worried that Bob could get killed. I’m worried that I could lose my ‘Q’ [clearance] and my job. We’re in too deep to back out now. Friday (Nov. 10) is when Bob’s first segment airs on Channel 8. I imagine things will get even worse after that (IF it happens). | Joe Vaninetti’s Diary |

Bob and GUFON will go over there probably late February or March sometime. _____________________________________________ Bob receives $5000 upfront, however he later refuses to travel to Japan citing threatening phone call. _____________________________________________ Norio Hayakawa blog: Also, later on, I was informed that Bob had kept the honorarium which was a guarantee that he would appear on the program live in Japan. Norio Hayakawa comment: “Bob received $5000 just to appear live on a two-hour live show on Area 51 in mid March. All airfaiire [sic] and all expenses paid, besides his honorarium of $5000. He never showed up, as I was waiting at LAX for the plane from Las Vegas. His excuse was that he was prevented from leaving his house by “the government”. He kept his $5000. In mud-March [sic], the two-hour show was broadcast without his live appearance during the middle of the show. He only answered questions by telephone.” _____________________________________________ Vaninetti: In March, Bob and Gene (GUFON) were to go to Japan to appear live on their UFO special. But they decided not to go after Bob got a threatening phone call (I think [it was from] Dennis). | Joe Vaninetti’s Diary Norio Hayakawa Blog Norio Hayakawa Youtube Channel Image of Hayakawa’s comment on Lazar’s compensation |

Lazar exhibited a substance that was light, foam-like, and almost weightless, hinting it would revolutionize energy and propulsion. The cooperation only lasted until the day Bob noticed a container of Lazar’s secret sauce in a corner and recognized it as a commercial emulsive product!” _____________________________________________ The Presentence Report states the following: Zeta Reticuli 2 Incorporated, a defunct developmental/production company producing various inventions concerned with energy direction (beam weapon) and associated products (significantly, documents furnished by the defendant to this department reflected that he [Lazar] was the executive vice president of this corporation, as well as, a contracted engineer for $30,000 a year reimbursement for development). | Forbidden Science 4 Zeta Reticuli Corporate Documents Pandering Case Presentence Report |

| July 19, 2017 | FBI/Local LE visit United Nuclear with search warrant in connection with the murder of Janel Sturzl. | According to months worth of incident reports obtained by Motherboard, the 2016 raid on United Nuclear was part of an ongoing and extensive murder investigation that includes state, local, and federal authorities. The documents make no mention of element 115. According to reports written by Michigan State Police Sergeant Detective Thomas Rajala, the events leading up to the search of United Nuclear began in late 2015 with the mysterious death of 31-year-old Janel Struzl. Rajala says doctors concluded Struzl was poisoned and died of “thallium toxicity.” Colorless, odorless, and tasteless, thallium sulfate has been described as “the poisoner’s poison” due to the substance’s high toxicity and difficulty to detect. According to the Michigan State Police reports and United Nuclear Scientific’s website, Lazar’s company sells thallium, and the police search was intended to learn more about who he’d sold the material to. Lazar is not specifically listed as a suspect in the murder in the police documents. | Bob Lazar Says the FBI Raided Him to Seize Area 51’s Alien Fuel.
