The Joe Rogan Experience
Bob Lazar claims he worked on reverse-engineering alien technology at a secret site near Area 51. Jeremy Corbell directed the documentary about his story. This episode reignited global interest in UFOs.
Bob Lazar returns to the public spotlight alongside filmmaker Jeremy Corbell to recount his alleged experience working at S-4, a classified facility near Area 51 in the Nevada desert. Lazar claims he was hired in 1988 to reverse-engineer the propulsion system of an extraterrestrial craft, and that he personally observed nine different alien vehicles stored at the site. The conversation digs into the specific technical details of his claims, the element 115 fuel source that was not yet on the periodic table when he first described it, and the government's sustained campaign to discredit him. Rogan presses Lazar on inconsistencies while acknowledging the parts of his story that have held up over three decades.
