Partial transcript of Bob's appearance on the
Billy Goodman Happening, November 21, 1989
Goodman: And now is the time for Bob Lazar, our guest
tonight in the studio. Bob are you there?
Lazar: Sure am.
Goodman: All right, Bob. Bob, I guess you know by
now, you came on Channel 8, the CBS affiliate here in
Las Vegas and came out with some startling information,
mainly that there are flying saucers not too far from
here, and I don't want to say Area 51, anymore, right?
Lazar: Right.
Goodman: Tell us why. It's not Area 51 where they
are.
Lazar: No, it's Area S-4. A lot of people get that
confused. It's about ten miles south of Area 51, of
Groom Lake, which is Area 51.
Goodman: But, when people try to get down the dirt
road, man, they get stopped by guards. What are they
protecting there?
Lazar: Oh, Groom Lake. That's Area 51.
Goodman: Okay, what's going on up at Groom Lake? Can
you tell us that?
BL There are actually a lot of projects are going on
at Groom Lake, Area 51. One of them is Aurora, a high
altitude reconnaissance aircraft designed to replace
the SR-71. There are just a lot of other things going
on. Some Star Wars research, but there aren't and
never have been any flying saucers at Area 51, at Groom
Lake.
Goodman: You have been at Area 51 so you can say that
unequivocally, right?
Lazar: Oh, yeah.
Goodman: You've been there. Have you spent most of
your time over at S-4, is that the case?
Lazar: Yeah, as it turns out, Groom Lake, Area 51, has
a runway there, so if you want to go out to that part
of the Test Site, you fly in and land at Groom Lake,
and then you take a bus south to Area S-4.
Goodman: Bob, have you actually landed on that
airstrip at Groom Lake?
Lazar: Yeah, every time I went out there I had to land
there.
Goodman: Every time. And how often did you go out
there?
Lazar: It wasn't on a regular basis. They essentially
called me up and said, well, Thursday by 4:45 be at
such-and-such a place and, you know, get on this plane
and, you know, you'll be out there. I hadn't worked
into a regular schedule, yet.
Goodman: I see. Now, how does something like this go
about? You're sitting at home, and they say, now, you
will be at a certain place at a certain time, or you
will arrive there? How do you be sure that you can
make connections to get there at 4:45? Do they take
care of all of that for you, too?
Lazar: No, I just have to show up there. I mean, if I
can't make it, I just have to tell them or call them
with sufficient notice.
Goodman: But they want you there for a specific
reason, because they want...
Lazar: Well, to get on a specific flight.
Goodman: Right. And they want you there at Groom Lake
so you can get to S-4?
Lazar: Right.
Goodman: And then when you get there, what are they
looking for you to do?
Lazar: [Pause] Ah... [Laughs] That varied. It could
be... mainly educating me, catching me up to where
everyone else was.
Goodman: Oh, grooming you.
Lazar: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Goodman: Oh, I see. And what were they grooming you
for, Bob?
Lazar: Well, I dealt mainly with the propulsion of the
extraterrestrial craft. And there was a lot of
material to read, a lot briefings, a lot of research
that had been done for quite some time that I had to
catch up on before I could really get into it myself,
so most of the time I spent reading and going over some
things. There was some hands-on experience with some
of the equipment from the disks and things of that
sort.
Goodman: Lets bring you back, now, to the beginning.
You're a young man, let's face it. You're a young man.
What was your first reaction the first time you knew
for a fact that we had flying saucers in our
possession, you saw them with your own eyes. What was
your first reaction to this?
Lazar: Oh, it was exciting. What else can you say?
It was really neat.
Goodman: [Laughs] That's a good word, really neat.
Lazar: Well, really, I guess it's the only thing you
can say. But the first time I saw it and I walked in
and actually saw the disk, of course I couldn't say
whether or not it was an alien device or just an
interesting craft that we've been developing. So it
was a little while before I had ascertained that it was
an extraterrestrial craft.
Goodman: And did they every explain to you how it got
there?
Lazar: No, that I was never told. But they just took
things very slowly. First I was exposed to the craft
and then I began to read the briefings, and they were
monitoring me through the whole time, so they didn't,
you know... They let me take things one step at a
time, as they do for everyone that works there.
Goodman: Now, you got to be honest with me. Here you
are a young man, you left there, you went home to the
wife, to your neighborhood, whatever, and you're
sitting around having a cup of coffee, did you ever
say, Hey, Man, you won't believe this, there are flying
saucers.
Lazar: I stuck with the program for a little while.
Goodman: [Laughs.] What was the program? Don't tell
anybody?
Lazar: Oh, most certainly.
Goodman: Oooo, there's the word, folks. In other
words, you were told, don't tell anybody. In other
words, keep this secret, don't let anybody know. Did
they every tell you... Did you, like, being
inquisitive, I'm sure, as a young man, did you ever
say, Why is it that we can't tell anybody? Did you
ever ask them that question?
Lazar: No, because being involved with many other
classified projects, at the other labs that I worked
with, you don't ask that. You just assume that they
know what they are doing, and you are privileged to be
in that project, so, you know...
Goodman: I can understand that. So you just felt
honored being there, like you say.
Lazar: Exactly.
Goodman: Wow. And you get home and sit there with the
wife at the dinner table and not even talk about it.
Lazar: Well, that didn't last for too long.
Goodman: [Laughs.] I can imagine, I mean, How was you
day today, dear, Anything exciting happen? What would
you say?
Lazar: Ah... Not a whole lot... It caused a lot of
friction.
Goodman: Sure. It did?
Lazar: Oh, yeah. A tremendous amount.
Goodman: Is that right. Because you couldn't speak
up, you couldn't all about what was going on.
Lazar: Right.
Goodman: Okay, we're talking with Bob Lazar, and Bob
Lazar is a scientist. That's you're title, right,
scientist?
Lazar: Physicist, but scientist is a good,
all-round...
Goodman: Okay, right, okay, physicist is even better.
And the reason I bring that up, Bob, is because many,
any times on the Happening, people have said, oh,
they've called in and, you know, and they've talked
about it, but we've never had a scientist. Well,
tonight, we have a scientist. This is your opportunity
of a lifetime to get into a scientist's head. A young
man, too. A man that people in the Las Vegas area have
seen on television. Of course, the rest of you all the
way down to Mexico and up into Canada haven't had that
privilege, but you're hearing him tonight. Now, you're
with Gene Huff, and Gene Huff is a good friend of
yours. Is he a neighbor, is that it?
Lazar: No, just a friend.
Goodman: Just a friend.
Lazar: I guess he was the first person that I began to
let the information out to, and, you know, he's really
just followed through the whole thing from the day that
I was hired there up to... I just kept him briefed on
it.
Goodman: That must have been quite a position to be
in, Gene?
Huff: Oh, right. I had been monitoring the general
UFO researcher material, and when Bob got in the
program I just used what he told me to try to ascertain
what was the truth and try to sort out what was fact
and what was fiction. It was actually a blessing, just
a coincidence that we were friends and he got into the
most secret program in the world.
Goodman: Were you into this UFO phenomenon as a
person, as an individual?
Huff: I have been my whole life, I mean just things,
Chariots of the Gods, Omni Magazine, any books that you
could get your hands on. But it was really, tough, I
mean, people like John Lear, Bill Cooper have all done
a good job in at least getting people thinking, and
then people can proceed and find out what they can.
Goodman: Well, I think that's where we're headed
tonight, don't you agree? I mean, with Bob now telling
us... And we're down to, we can now scratch out, I
guess, as far as you're concerned, nothing as far as
extraterrestrial activity is up at Area 51 or Groom
Lake. Has that always been the case, because I heard,
and I've also read, as I say, government papers, maybe
they lie, but they said that Area 51 was the area where
U-2 came out of.
Lazar: Oh, yeah. That's where the U-2 came out of,
where the SR-71 came out of.
Goodman: I see.
Lazar: Lots of things came out of there. Maybe a disk
went through there. They're just not stored and
developed, worked on there. Sure, one may have rolled
by there and someone may have... There have been lots
of reports of people at Area 51 said, well, at one time
I saw a disk in a hanger. That may have happened, but
it wasn't there permanently.
Goodman: Bob, I have to tell you this, I guess you
know by now, we took a group of people up there, about
200-some-odd people, and I was up there with them. I
sat in the desert, and I watched, and here's how I
could describe it. Now, picture the twenty-nine and a
half mile marker, and we're looking out at these peaks,
and there's nothing going all. All of a sudden, you
look over the peak, and something comes up, and sort of
almost appears over the peak. It's just a light, and
you watch this light and you see it doing zigzags.
Literally moving down and then coming about. Something
had to... Now, are there planes that we have that do
those kind of maneuvers?
Lazar: Well, without seeing it, I can't say, but... I
mean, I know when the tests are. That's when I invited
a few friends out to show them, John Lear and Gene Huff
and someone else. The tests are only, have only been
done on Wednesday nights. That's just the night,
because statistically it's the night of least traffic
in that area. They've never been done on the weekend.
In fact, on Friday nights, everyone leaves there. It's
just a minimal crew there. There's never been... in
fact, one of the times when I brought people up
there--I believe that was on a Wednesday night--and
they just caught the four of us out there, and they
canceled the whole test. A busload of people I don't
think would ever get by security and they'd ever let a
test go on. What you might have seen, I really can't
say. Maybe something was in the air at the time, but
the chances of it being on a weekend and something
actually going on with that amount of people there is
almost zero.
Goodman: Okay, so, if people do go to the 29-1/2 mile
marker, now, they shouldn't look toward the peak
straight ahead, they should look more to their left.
Lazar: Right, definitely to their left.
Goodman: Down range.
Lazar: Yeah.
Goodman: Okay, in other words from the dirt road down
to the left. So is that Hancock Summit or something
like that?
Lazar: I don't know what the range is called there.
Goodman: Okay. We're talking with Bob Lazar. Let's
take some telephone calls and find out where they're
coming from. Would you like to do that?
Lazar: Sure.
Goodman: Okay, let's go. And who's up first? Zellie.
Let's talk to Zellie. Hello, Zellie.
"Zellie": Hello, Billy. Hello, Bob. I watched you,
Bob, on the Channel 8 program and, you know, my dog was
barking when you were explaining the gravity theory.
These craft don't use any type of gasolice, is that
right?
Lazar: Any type of gasoline?
"Zellie": Yes.
Lazar: No, they don't.
"Zellie": Okay, how do they get from "A" to "B"?
Lazar: They bend space and time using gravity.
"Zellie": Can you explain that to a layman like me in
as simple terms as possible?
Goodman: And me.
Lazar: Okay, I can give a fairly accurate description.
I haven't given this before, but I think this is the
best one. The craft have three gravity amplifiers on
the bottom of 'em. What they do is, assuming that
they're in space--it's just easier to get this across
that way--they will focus the three gravity amplifiers
on the point that they want to go to. Now, to give you
an analogy, if you take a thin rubber sheet, say, lay
it on a table and put thumbs tacks in each corner. You
take a big stone and set it on one end of the rubber
sheet and say that that's your UFO or that's your
spacecraft. You pick out a point that you want to go
to, which could be anywhere on the rubber sheet, pinch
that point with your fingers and pull that all the way
up to the craft. That's how it focuses and pulls that
point actually to it. When you then shut off the
gravity generators, the stone or your spacecraft
follows that stretched rubber back to its point.
There's no linear travel through space. It actually
bends space and time, and follows space as it retracts.
"Zellie": Is this kind of like a box that they have on
the craft that does this gravity focusing?
Lazar: Well, it's a complete system, not a single
little box.
"Zellie": Yeah, that is so hard to understand. Did
you come across this easier to understand it, or did
you just comprehend this over months or years or...
Lazar: No, it didn't really take very long. The
concept is difficult to grasp but...
"Zellie": Oh, I'll say.
Goodman: Well, being a physicist, though, I guess you
could handle that kind of a thing. You have to
understand that, Zellie. This man, this young man is a
physicist, scientist, so I guess this is what they've
been taught over the years. Okay?
"Zellie": Okay. Thanks for that black sheet analogy.
Appreciate it.
Goodman: Thanks for calling, Zellie.
"Zellie": Bye.
Goodman: Bye- bye. Okay, that's Zellie. My guest is
Bob Lazar. He's in studio tonight. Let's go down to
Canyon Lake. That sounds like a beautiful place.
Canyon Lake in California, and we find Jeff. Hi, Jeff.
"Jeff": How ya doin'?
Goodman: Terrific. How 'bout yourself?
"Jeff": Oh, I'm doing just fine. You know, last
Saturday night, my cousin and I were out at Groom Lake,
and we saw from the peaks that I think you were
describing, Billy, a very similar experience. We saw
the light originate over the top of the mountains then
streak out to what it looked like, it looked like about
a half a mile away from us, and then it just vanished.
It lasted for about seven to ten seconds. And then my
cousin saw another sighting that was off to the south
where your guest described the site.
Goodman: Oh, really?
"Jeff": Yeah, and what was weird about it is that I
got out the camera and I was just about ready to take a
picture of this thing and it vanished. It, like, it
vanished from the center out. It became transparent,
and then all of a sudden it was gone. It was like
nothing I have ever seen before, and it was very
interesting to see. I'm wondering what that could have
been. Does you guest know anything about that
particular type of manifestation?
Goodman: Okay, we'll let them answer the phone, and
thanks for the call, Jeff.
"Jeff": Okay.
Goodman: Take care, buddy.
"Jeff": All right.
Goodman: What do you think about that, Bob?
Lazar: You know, of course, without seeing it, I
really can't say, but... that's about all I can say, I
guess. I really don't...
Goodman: There has been a theory, and it's come up
more than once, that they can dematerialize or all of a
sudden be so quick to get away from you that you lose
sight of it, instantly, they say. Is that true?
Lazar: Well, you can lose sight of it without it even
moving, because just in view of the way things work
when they warp time and space around the craft they can
actually... This is the exact reason why you can see
stars behind the sun, because the sun has an intense
gravitational field and it pulls space around where you
can begin to see the star behind it. It's just like in
a disk: You can be looking straight up at it, and if
the gravity generators are in the proper configuration
you just see the sky above it; you won't see the craft
there. That's how there can be a group of people and
only... some people can be right under it and see it
and there can be people 100 feet off to the left and
not see it. It just depends how the field is bent.
It's also the reason why the craft appear as if they're
making ninety degree turns at so incredible speed.
It's just the time and space distortion is what you're
seeing. You're not seeing the actual event happening.
Goodman: Okay. Bob Lazar is my guest, and let's go to
Roger #2. Roger #2. Hello, Roger.
"Roger #2": Yeah. Hi, there.
Goodman: How are you doing tonight?
"Roger #2": Good, fine. How are you all? I've been
watching your show there, Bob, and it was terrific. I
really enjoyed it, and I got a couple of questions for
you. Have you seen any aliens, there, at the base?
Lazar: You know, I really don't want to talk about
aliens at S-4. It's just a weird topic and...
"Roger #2": Well, then, you know three days ago, there
was this fellow that came on the Billy Goodman
Happening, and he's a worker at Mercury. Did you
happen to hear that show, Bob?
Lazar: No, I didn't.
"Roger #2": Well, he's a worker, and he told the story
about how he went 3000 feet down into the ground,
underground in other words, and when the elevator
opened up, it was a stainless steel atmosphere, and
he's a worker laying electrical wiring and lighting for
this vast complex that is at Mercury. And he's been
working there quite a while, but he told of the Marines
down there wear six bayonets [?] that herded them into
certain areas, kept them out of other areas. And one
day he saw some doctors there with white coats on,
smocks you know, and they were wheeling along on
gurneys some aliens with big heads and small bodies and
arms and so forth. And I just wondered if you had
heard anything about that?
Lazar: This is at Mercury?
"Roger #2": At Mercury, yes.
Lazar: That's a strange place for that to occur,
though I have heard, but do not have first hand
experience, of any tunnels and things down there.
Certainly, they have very deep tunnels and rooms under
there for the nuclear tests. I don't know if they go
down to 3000 feet. So, I think someone recently just
[was] killed, I think, at 1500 feet underground. Yeah,
that was in the papers, so everyone knows they at least
go down that deep.
"Roger #2": The information I have is most of those
underground areas are about a thousand meters.
Lazar: Yeah, I really don't know how far they go down
there. The thing that strikes me as unusual that you
said there was a stainless steel atmosphere?
"Roger #2": Yes, that's the way he described it. In
other words, they were putting up sheets of stainless
steel because apparently they had drilled with some
kind of machine this vast complex underground, and the
tunnels, and they had to put something to cover that.
Lazar: Oh, okay, I understand what you're talking
about. In fact, I happen to know of someone who drills
those tunnels down there.
Goodman: Oooo, all right.
"Roger #2": Hey, these machines, are they the type
that go through and push... and compact the earth to
the side and have square corners and so forth,
compacting, leaving no residue?
Lazar: I really don't remember how the person
described it to me. I think it's a 24 foot diameter
drill, essentially, that is driven, and it's
hydraulically operated and they just drive the thing.
"Roger #2": Yeah, but it must not leave any residue,
then?
Lazar: Yeah, probably not. Either that or it channels
it out backwards and somehow is relayed out of the
hole.
Goodman: All right, Roger #2, thanks for your call.
"Roger #2": Okay. You bet. Thank you very much.
Goodman: Okay, bye-bye. Bob Lazar, Bob Lazar is my
guest. He is in studio here in Las Vegas. If you have
a question for Bob Lazar, feel free to give us a call.
All our lines are kind of tied up right now, but jot
down the phone number: 451-5834. From out of state,
it's area code 702-451-5834. And, of course, that
brand new member line, the one that Jeff used in Canyon
Lake, California, is available for you at 702-451-5655.
Let's go to Line 5 and talk with Guardian Angel.
Hello, Guardian Angel.
"Guardian Angel": Good evening, Billy.
Goodman: Good evening.
"Guardian Angel": You have a wonderful show, tonight.
Goodman: Thank you.
"Guardian Angel": I'd like to ask Bob a question, if
he's...
Goodman: He's right there waiting.
"Guardian Angel": ...if he feels secure after he's let
this out, if he's had--and I pray not, which I will
keep in our prayers--that no one has made any attempt
on you at all.
Lazar: Well, they made attempts on me before, but not
since... and as far as feeling secure, no I don't.
I'm just, I'm really waiting for the repercussions.
"Guardian Angel": Well, I wish you would really stay
close to the show, with Billy. I think we would enjoy
talking and asking questions of you, and you better
believe they would have to answer to us if all of a
sudden you come up wrong.
Lazar: [Laughs.] Well, that's good to hear.
"Guardian Angel": Can I ask a question? You said
Wednesday nights are normally when these saucers are
seen.
Lazar: Right.
"Guardian Angel": And can I ask you what your
clearance was out there at S-4?
Lazar: [Pause.]
"Guardian Angel": I don't need to...
Lazar: Yeah, I'd rather not say because the name is...
"Guardian Angel": Okay, I understand.
Lazar: It's 38 levels above "Q" clearance, which is
the highest civilian clearance. What is supposed to be
the highest civilian clearance.
"Guardian Angel": Okay, I know what you're talking
about. Well, I appreciate asking these questions, and
as I said, we as the audience will keep you in our
prayers and we pray you will stay close to the station
so we can be alert. And Billy, we appreciate your
show.
Goodman: All right, thank you. Thank you, Guardian
Angel. Okay, Bob Lazar. 38 levels above "Q" level!
Oh, my god! We just started hearing about that
recently, about the "Q" clearance and what that meant,
and you're 38 levels above that. It starts just at "Q"
and then goes from there, is that correct? One, two,
three... Is that how it works?
Lazar: I don't know what the intermediate levels are.
Goodman: You don't know if there are 37 others; it's
just a number they gave you, is that correct?
Lazar: No, there are 37 others. I don't know..
Goodman: There are 37 others! Wow! Okay. Okay, we
have a little time to take a break. Sip on some of
that coffee you like, guys, and we're going to do some
Road Watch America, catch up with a couple of our
sponsors who make this all possible. And you, ladies
and gentlemen, stick around. We're going to keep Bob
Lazar here as long as he wants to stay. Can you stay?
Are you in any hurry at all?
Lazar: Only to get to sleep.
Goodman: Stay with us. This is going to be wonderful.
You're going to enjoy it as much as everybody else
does, and we'll get back with Bob Lazar after these
messages.
[Traffic Report for Los Angeles and Phoenix.]

[Ad for Slot-o-Fun Casino in Las Vegas.]
Goodman: Hey, you're listening to the Billy Goodman
Happening. We are in Las Vegas. My guest tonight is
Bob Lazar. We'll get back to him and your telephone
calls, but first this reminder about the Vagabond Inn
on Koval Lane between Harman and Flamingo. The next
time you're coming to Las Vegas, check out the Vagabond
Inn. Call Richard Viera and his friendly staff. Boy
they will treat you like royalty. There's no other
place that you want to stay because it's conveniently
located and beautiful, comfortable rooms. One block
away from Caesar's Palace, from the Dunes, right next
door to Bally's, next to Maxim and Bourbon Street.
Really a convenient location, a super place to stay,
the Vagabond Inn. Of course, they have video power;
they have slot machines, and they even have a piano
bar, and all kinds of things... 24 hour restaurants.
They have all the comforts of home at very, very
reasonable prices. The Vagabond Inn, that's the place
to stay the next time you're going to Las Vegas. And
if you have a group or organization, they have group
rates that are unbelievable. Matter of fact, the Royal
Air Force stays at the Vagabond Inn. We don't know why
they're in town, but they were telling me that they do
their practicing up at Nellis Air Force Base and
they're learning some things up there, but they stay
there. The National Finals Rodeo's going to be coming
in town pretty soon, but call the Vagabond Inn at
702-731-2111.
[Ad for KVEG.]
Goodman: Okay, Bob Lazar and Gene Huff, Merry Mary is
presenting you with something that, in case you have to
keep any notes in there, that is an official Space Pen.
Now, probably you've heard about those. That's the
Fisher Space Pen, the very same one the astronauts and
the cosmonauts use. I mean, you'll never need another
pen. You can write straight up in the air, on
anything--grease, oil, anything at all.
Okay, Bob Lazar is my guest, and let's take some more
calls. Let's go down to Scott in L.A. Scott in L.A.
And let's see what he has to say and what kind of
question he has. He always has good questions. Hi,
Scott.
"Scott": Good evening, Billy.
Goodman: How are you doing.
"Scott": Oh, pretty good.
Goodman: Terrific. What's happening.
"Scott": Well, I wanted to talk with Mr. Lazar.
Goodman: I thought that's what you wanted. Go right
ahead.
"Scott": Well, forgive me, I've heard your name thrown
about a few times, but I have not been able to see the
television program that you were interviewed on in Las
Vegas, so I really have no idea, so excuse some of
these questions if they don't sound like they make any
sense, but I'm trying to understand, how far are you
willing to go with the information you're talking about
on the air tonight?
Lazar: Not really that far. I mean, my whole purpose
was to protest myself, not really to be the one to
bring all the information forward and spearhead this
whole thing. So, I mean, there have been plenty of
people before me, but, you know, it was just to protect
myself. The reason I'm doing this here tonight, I've
just heard a lot of strange things and some incorrect
information, you know, on the show, and I just thought
I could clear a couple things up for some people.
"Scott": So in other words, your end goal to taking
this on the air is, in other words, just to protect
yourself.
Lazar: Yeah, that's my only goal. I mean, it's a
selfish goal, but that's what I was thinking of at the
time, and it was my only avenue to do this.
"Scott": I see. How open and verifiable is your own
background?
Lazar: Well, that's been gone through, and it's a
painful experience to go through, to have other people
go through your background. I have a colorful
background. George Knapp has dug through... Well, I
guess you're not familiar with the station out here,
the CBS affiliate.
"Scott": I've heard a few things.
Lazar: Well, they've rummaged through it. George
Knapp even came with me up to Los Alamos, New Mexico,
and, you know, saw where I worked and things and spoke
to some of the colleagues I worked with.
"Scott": Right. What I'm getting at is between...
You've already established your goal and determining
how far you are willing to go with this. The things
you are saying are somewhat fantastic, of course, and
I'm trying to determine if you are open to any sort of
a thorough background investigation, to be able to
determine what you are saying has the possibilities of
showing a great deal of truth.
Lazar: Well, I've essentially submitted to a thorough
background investigation.
"Scott": Well, by who?
Lazar: Well, the station that did the UFO special.
"Scott": Well, forgive me if I tell you I don't
consider that to be too thorough if it's by a station.
I'm a private investigator, and I don't know if you're
familiar [with] what we're trying to attempt right now,
but we have 20 different investigators. In fact, we
just brought on someone new up in the Las Vegas area,
and we're trying to get to the bottom of this whole
matter. We really want to bring out the truth, because
there are a lot of stories out there now. And you
sound fairly credible on the air, and you're the kind
of gentleman that one of us would certainly enjoy
talking to, but unfortunately in this sort of subject,
one really has to establish some credibility to begin
with, and that is the sort of background I'm talking
about. Something that would be done by a professional
investigator.
Lazar: Uh-huh. [Pause.]
"Scott": Does that sit well with you?
Lazar: Well... As far as the background, that sort of
thing, that's currently all being done by, like I said,
by the people down at the news station.
"Scott": You see, our problem is that we are trying to
put together an effort here to really get to the bottom
of this whole thing, to the truth.
Lazar: Right, I understand that, but you have to
understand my reluctance of having everyone that calls
me want to start off at Ground Zero and go all the way
back and go through...
"Scott": We don't consider ourselves everyone.
Lazar: I mean, excuse me, but I do. I mean, everyone
has been calling me and my... I mean you can imagine a
"Q" clearance is a thorough background investigation.
I've had a "Q" clearance for a long time before I ever
got into the project out here. But, like I said, I
don't want to spearhead everything. My intention was
to come on and say what I had to do to essentially
protect myself, and I'd just as soon leave it at that.
"Scott": Right, well, we're not looking for a
spearhead. We're only trying to get to some end, and
the only way we can get to that end are finding people
who are coming forward and giving us information that
we can verify as being credible. It doesn't
necessarily mean it has to be released or any of your
integrity or your identity has to be bandied around in
the public. It just is a method of helping us get
toward the end the we are trying to achieve.
Lazar: There's just, like, twenty-five people that
have the same request as you.
"Scott": Okay, well, I think that our request is
probably a little bit different. If you're not
familiar with what we are trying to do, I guess I'm at
a loss.
Goodman: He probably has no idea what we... Maybe I
can touch on that, and, Scott, thanks for the call.
"Scott": Okay.
Goodman: Let me tell you what's going on here. Now,
I don't know if it's necessary in your case because you
are, like , 38 levels above "Q," as you say there, but
there's an investigative force that has joined.
Basically, what we were talking about earlier. They
are really... It is probably the first legitimate
organization that is checking out UFO claims and other
claims. Okay? It's the very first one. This
organization is out of Southern California, and they
have offices out in San Francisco. They have over 20
investigators, and, as Scott just said--I wasn't even
aware of that but I just heard that tonight--they now
have an investigator--We're talking about private
investigators. You know what we're talking about.
There's one in Las Vegas. And what they're trying to
do is they're trying to amass everything they possibly
can, 'cause they want to get to the bottom of it once
and for all. And I think--You say you have 25
others.--this might be... I don't know what they need
from you. Having a 38... whatever that means, I guess
you can show papers, you have a 38 "Q" clearance and
that would end it. And it could go forward from that,
because you're saying things that I know they want to
get into. That's what it boils down to. Okay, Bob
Lazar is my guest, and he'd love to talk with you. If
you have any questions for Bob Lazar, feel free to call
us. Let's go to, we'll go to "606" and then Deadhead,
but first let's go to Kevin in Encino, a new member. A
new member. Hello, Kevin.
"Kevin": Yeah, Hi, Billy. How you doing?
Goodman: Fine, Thank you.
"Kevin": I had a question for Bob.
Goodman: Go right ahead.
"Kevin": I was a little interested in the condition
and shape of the disks that he claims he saw up in Area
S-4, on the range.
Lazar: The condition and shape? The condition, it
seemed new, as I said on the TV program.
"Kevin": I did not catch your TV program.
Lazar: Okay, I'm sorry.
"Kevin": I'm a new listener here.
Lazar: It seemed almost brand new, like I said, if I
know what a new flying saucer looks like. As far as
the shape...
"Kevin": The general configuration.
Lazar: Have you ever seen any of the Billy Mieres
photographs?
"Kevin": I've seen a couple, yes.
Lazar: There's one that it bears a striking
resemblance to. It's one that I coined the term the
sport model. It doesn't have any of those weird
protrusions. It's a slim, thin disk with ridges in it,
and it bears and incredible resemblance to that. I
tent to think that it is that disk.
"Kevin": And approximate dimensions of the...
Lazar: I'd say approximately 30-35, somewhere in
there. About 15 feet tall.
"Kevin": How close were you allowed to the object.
Lazar: Oh, I stood inside the doorway.
"Kevin": Stood inside the doorway, huh? Were you able
to determine, possibly, what the metallic makeup was of
the craft.
Lazar: No, no.
"Kevin": Okay, well, it's been very interesting
listening to you, and we'll continue on with you here
tonight.
Lazar: Thank you.
Goodman: Thank you, Kevin. Thanks for the call.
Okay, let's just say... Bob, did you touch it at any
time?
Lazar: Oh, yeah.
Goodman: What does it feel like?
Lazar: It feels like ordinary metal.
Goodman: Ordinary metal, really?
Lazar: Yeah.
Goodman: Like what, aluminum-type feel, or what?
Lazar: Well, can you feel the difference between steel
and aluminum?
Goodman: No really. Steel is colder than aluminum, I
understand, you know, if you really touch it. You can
get your fingers to stick to steel.
Lazar: Well, it felt like metal. I mean, I'm not a
metallurgist, but...
Goodman: The reason I say that is because there have
been many reports--and I guess maybe they're false,
now--but they say that it's almost like a very, very
thin feel to it.
Lazar: Well, I couldn't touch the thickness of it. I
felt the outside of the skin, so it could be a micron
thick or a foot thick I wouldn't know.
Goodman: So you never saw the metal itself off to the
side; you just saw it all connected.
Lazar: No, not pieces of it, no, just the disk itself.
Goodman: What was the disk doing, may I ask.
Lazar: Sitting there.
Goodman: Like, how was it sitting, like on a bottom
like...?
Lazar: Yeah, it was actually... There weren't tripod
legs. It was actually resting on the bottom of the
disk.
Goodman: Wow. Were there people milling around it?
Lazar: Not at the time that I walked up to it. There
were people in the area, yeah.
Goodman: Is that the only one you ever saw, by the
way?
Lazar: No, I saw the other ones, but at a great
distance.
Goodman: Oh, I see. What were they doing?
Lazar: They were just parked in the hangers.
Goodman: Like an airplane.
Lazar: Yeah, essentially.
Goodman: You never saw them land or take off.
Lazar: No, no, never. I don't even know if they were
operational.
Goodman: Oh, okay. Bob Lazar is my guest, and let's
go and talk with Deadhead Dean. Deadhead Dean. Hello,
Deadhead Dean. Go for it.
"Deadhead Dean": Yeah, hello. First of all, Bob
Lazar, I'd like to say that I feel for you about that
phone call a couple of minutes ago, about they wanted
to investigate you some more.
Lazar: Well, thanks.
"Deadhead Dean": But, to get to something else that's
sort of technical, I took a class in quantum physics in
college.
Lazar: That's a fun class, isn't it?
"Deadhead Dean": Well, it was for me, but we studied a
lot about gravity, and there's a question I want to ask
you--It's a little technical.--just to see if you can
tell me anything, if you know anything about it. But
of course we studied about gravitons....
Lazar: Okay, the theory of gravitons is wrong.
"Deadhead Dean": Well, that's what I was going to ask
you, if you knew anything about it.
Lazar: Yeah.
"Deadhead Dean": Because what we were told is that...
Lazar: But physics has always done that. Where there
is a question, they create a particle. You must know
what I am talking about, photons and things like that.
"Deadhead Dean": Right. Well, see, what I was going
to ask you was, if you had found or read anything that
confirmed the existence of gravitons.
Lazar: No. Everything denied the existence of
gravitons. In fact, gravity--I don't know if this is
the first time I've said this.--There are actually
two... Gravity is a wave, and there are actually two
waves that are misconstrued as one force. They're
called Gravity "A" and "B."
"Deadhead Dean": So, what's your general attitude
about quantum physics, the quantum theory?
Lazar: Well, you know, that can last all night. You
know, it's... If you want to talk to me privately
about that, I'd be happy to talk to you.
"Deadhead Dean": Yeah, because I'm interested in how
it connects with the grand unified field theories,
because, you know, we were sort of told that, you know,
if we could sort of confirm the existence of some of
these quantum particles we could fit it...
Lazar: Right. There are...
"Deadhead Dean": Anyway, I think I got the answer
about the gravitons.
Lazar: If... I don't know how you... I don't want to
say my number over the air. That would be a disaster.
"Deadhead Dean": Right, right.
Lazar: You could write in care of the station, and
Billy could get it to me and I could write back to you.
But the unified field theory is a lot more simple...
Like they say, the beautiful theory will be the unified
field theory, and it is essentially a lot simpler than
physics is after right now.
"Deadhead Dean": Okay, there's just one very quick
thing. I heard you on the news program, at one point
you said that the craft you saw, the extraterrestrial
craft, were from another solar system completely. Do
you believe that because you know where they are from,
or because you just ruled out that any of the other
planets in this solar system are habitable.
Lazar: No, that's because I know where they're from.
"Deadhead Dean": I see, okay, that's all I wanted to
know.
Goodman: Hey, Deadhead Dean, great questions.
"Deadhead Dean": Yeah, thanks for coming forward, Bob.
Lazar: Well, thank you.
Goodman: Take care, guy. Bye-bye. Deadhead Dean.
Boy, those were great questions, huh? You enjoy that
stuff?
Lazar: Yeah.
Goodman: I mean, these people know what they are
talking about. Guess who's coming up next? An
aerospace engineer, standing by in Los Angeles. And
we'll talk with him, and you'll hear the exchange
between the aerospace engineer and Bob Lazar, right
before your very ears on your Billy Goodman Happening.
Stick around for it on KVEG.
[Ad for Big-O Tire Stores.]
Ad: Sunday, January 7th, here in Las Vegas at the
Showboat Hotel, it's a night with Bill Cooper.
Regarded as the nation's leading authority on UFOs. He
plans a three hour presentation, including visuals of
UFOs, drawings of aliens sketched by eyewitnesses, a
startling video tape regarding the JFK assassination,
evidence that a live being--alien being--being held
captive in New Mexico, on Evening of Astonishment, a
show you'll talk about for years and years. And your
special host will be Billy Goodman, of Billy Goodman
Happening, heard on Super-station AM-840 KVEG in Las
Vegas, 10 to 1. That's a night with Bill Cooper,
Sunday, January 7th at 5 p.m. Call the Showboat at
702-385-9190 for ticket information.
[Caller's introduction missing from transcribed tape.]
"Leonard": Fine.
Goodman: Good.
"Leonard": Say listen, Billy. I read about your
program here in a local newspaper some weeks back, and
I just started tuning in the other night.
Goodman: Well, I'm glad you have.
"Leonard": I'm an aerospace engineer, and I'm
interested in virtually anything that flies.
Goodman: Terrific.
"Leonard": I've got about 25 years in the business,
and I worked on a lot of fighter planes and mostly
commercial transports, and I've heard a lot of people
call into your show and also some other shows with
trans-atomospheric vehicles going to Venus, this sort
of thing, and [laughs] and it always [releases] kind of
a chuckle in me.
Goodman: Okay, do you have a question for my g--...
"Leonard": [indecipherable] three vehicles. One is a
single stage orbital vehicles that's supposed come back
down, not go to Venus.
Goodman: Okay, but do you have a question for my guest
tonight?
"Leonard": Yes. I was going to ask Bob, physics is
kind of a hobby of mine, and I just... I've been
reading a book by Reichenbach, Hans Reichenbach on the
theory of space-time geometry.
Lazar: Uh-huh.
"Leonard": And Reichenbach states that--this kind of
surprises me, as I say this is kind of a hobby of mine,
I'm not really a physicist, I'm more of a metal bender
but--that time is not the fourth dimension. And I'm
wondering, you say this vehicle has three gravity
generators on them.
Lazar: Right.
"Leonard": Oh, what does it use to generate this
intense gravity field. Is it neutron stars, or
[laughs]...
Lazar: No, no, the gravity generators generate the
gravity themselves.
"Leonard": I was being facetious there when I said
neutron stars because as far as I know the only thing
that could generate gravity is massive bodies.
Lazar: Right, that is the only thing that you know
[laughs] that generates gravity, yeah.
"Leonard": And I was just curious as to how this sort
of thing worked, and I could understand how they would
bend space-time and lens it, but the thing that bothers
me is you say that it stretched space-time and then the
vehicle follows the space-time, continually you'd say,
I guess?
Lazar: Not continually. It essentially attaches
itself to the distorted portion of space-time.
"Leonard": Uh-huh.
Lazar: And then follows... returns with the
distortion. It's quite a bizarre... You kind of see
what I'm saying? It's quite of a bizarre thing to
think about.
"Leonard": I begin to see a glimmer here. This is the
most fascinating thing I've heard.
Lazar: It is. It's... I mean, it's... I would have
lived up there. I would have worked for no pay. It
was just so fascinating to me, and I just became
enveloped with it. It's essentially new physics.
There's a lot that's very difficult to grasp. There's
no three dimensional analogies. There's a lot of
current theories--the superstring theory, if physics is
a hobby, you've read about that?--You know, they go
into eleven dimensions and things like that.
"Leonard": And higher.
Lazar: You begin to grab at straws after a while.
Every time you get stuck, you say, well--oh, another
dimension will handle that, and you go on and on and
on. And the same thing with particles and it's...
"Leonard": They've concluded now there's only three
generations of particles, and I was wondering what you
thought about that, because gravitons and these
super-luminal particles would have been the fourth
generation.
Lazar: You mean the generations like the leptons and
so forth?
"Leonard": And the quarks.
Lazar: Yeah, okay. Well, a quark, you know I can
argue about quark theory, too. You know, there again,
that's a tremendous discussion in itself.
Goodman: All right, Leonard, thanks for the call.
"Leonard": Oh, okay, well thank you.
Goodman: Okay, yeah, that's great stuff. Aerospace
engineer talking with a physicist, right here, right
before your very ears. We're talking with Bob Lazar.
We're going to take a little break for some news. You
guys get up, stretch you legs, relax, and we'll come
back after new with more of your questions for Bob
Lazar, the scientist who has revealed tonight for the
first time that, there are no spaceships at Area 51.
They're at S-4, which is like 10 miles south of Area
51. So if you're heading on up to Groom Lake tonight,
you know, and you get to the 29-1/2 mile marker, don't
look straight ahead; look to your left. You're liable
to see something buzzing out there. What's tonight,
Tuesday? No, tomorrow night's the best night. He says
Wednesday's probably the best night. But you're
listening to Billy Goodman Happening. We'll be here
until one o'clock or until they come to take me away,
which ever comes first. And we'll be talking more with
Bob Lazar. Let's remind you that tomorrow night, two
guest coming on: Micheal Calum , Micheal Calum , who's
getting involved with this UFO phenomenon. And Michael
Calum of course is a movie star out of "Double
Exposure." He was in "Cat Ballou." He originally was
in "West Side Story." We'll talk about him, and then
after that Crista Tilton. She'll be back, and she'll
be talking about her abduction and her underground
excursion, things of that nature. That's coming up
tomorrow night. You stick around for that. Of course,
on Thursday night, we have James Tollison with the Free
Enterprise System. And Friday night, Bill Cooper.
Those are some of the things you might want to put down
on your calendar. We're going to take a little break
for news. We'll be back right after news with more of
your Billy Goodman Happening.
[News]
Goodman: Ah, you got us. It's the Billy Goodman
Happening direct from Las Vegas, and my guest tonight
is Bob Lazar. Bob is a scientist. Now where are you
actually working right now, Bob?
Lazar: I'm just... I have my own company.
Goodman: Okay, so are you like inventing things? What
do you do?
Lazar: Ah... I'd rather not say.
Goodman: Okay, that's your privilege, sir. I just
thought I'd give you, you know, a plug and then you get
some business out of it.
Lazar: Well, I still conduct business with the
government in a technical aspect.
Goodman: That was like a consultant type thing, maybe?
Does that fit in there?
Lazar: You could say that.
Goodman: Okay, I will, if you don't mind. All right,
let's go and talk with E.T.C., whatever that means.
Etcetera, or whatever the case may be. Hello, E.T.C.
"E.T.C.": Yes, good afternoon, or evening.
Goodman: Whatever.
"E.T.C.": Bob, it's great to talk with you.
Lazar: Thanks.
"E.T.C.": Let me ask you something. Does M-42 mean
anything to you?
Lazar: M-42. [Pause.] Not off the top of my head.
"E.T.C.": Okay, very good. How do you rate Hawkings?
Lazar: Steven Hawkings?
"E.T.C.": Yes.
Lazar: Well, there's... There's a lot I could say
about him. A lot of the basic theory is incorrect, but
he's a very thorough guy. Have you read his book?
"E.T.C.": Yes, I have. I'm an experimental
researcher, and I'm interest-- I think we're in
agreement on what your stuttering about. I stutter
about him a little bit, too. See, you're a physicist;
now how far back do you go as far as traveling
backwards through time? Can you go to the Big Bang
theory and then subscribe to it?
Lazar: Ah... I'll go with the Big Bang theory, but
there are so many other variables, so many other things
really could have happened, I don't... You know,
that's more of a cosmology [laughs] viewpoint. I'm
concerned mainly with particle physics, high energy
physics and that sort of thing, but...
"E.T.C.": Well isn't that where it all begins?
Lazar: Yeah, it is. But when you're talking on a
macro scale like that, you're sliding out of my field
of expertise. I do subscribe to the Big Bang theory.
There was a Big Bang. Where the initial particle came
from, you know there's a great debate about that.
"E.T.C.": Could you give me an estimate... creation
versus evolution. Was the Big Bang a part of an
evolution or was it part of a creation? And was there
a creation or evolution before that?
Lazar: Well that's a chicken or the egg question to
me. I would say that the Big Bang was followed by a
natural evolution, though I don't believe things just
evolved to where everything is now without interaction.
Does that...?
"E.T.C.": Very good. I guess I'm going back too far.
You seem to be a very logical scientist to me. You
don't want to go out on a limb on theories. You want
to stick to the facts.
Lazar: I'd really rather do that.
"E.T.C.": And that's very good. And what is the facts
to you? How far can you really trace us back, trace
your science back to absolutes, where you drop off from
absolutes into your theories?
Lazar: Probably from the instant of the detonation of
the Big Bang.
"E.T.C.": Okay, that's the microseconds, right?
Lazar: Well I'd say even before that.
"E.T.C.": Okay, very good. Do you feel the new
telescopes coming up into space will help solve that
mystery?
Lazar: Oh, yeah... It'll certainly pose a lot more
questions, though.
["Time up" tone.]
"E.T.C.": Yeah, I agree. Hey, it was a great
pleasure. Thank you.
Goodman: Thank you E.T.C. What is this Big Bang
theory. I can hear everybody all over the West Coast:
Billy, ask hi what the Big Bang theory is. What is the
Big Bang theory?
Lazar: Ah... Essentially how the universe was
initiated.
Goodman: Oh.
Lazar: I think the way that was detected was, someone
looked and just happened to notice that all the
galaxies were moving away from a certain point at
certain speeds, and they did a computer analysis
and--I'm not really sure how this progressed, but they
were able to reverse the directions and everything came
to a single point and assumed that there was one time
an unbelievably massive particle that exploded and, you
know...
Goodman: Like a meteorite type thing, is that what
you're referring to?
Lazar: Well...
Goodman: Bigger than that?
Lazar: No, actually smaller than that. It gets really
crazy, but it's...
Goodman: Okay. But, I mean, this thing did explode...
Lazar: Right, there was a tremendous explosion, threw
everything out, gasses, and things condensed into
matter and essentially formed the universe. That's the
Big Bang theory.
Goodman: Okay. Bob Lazar is my guest. It's a
privilege to have a physicist, right here in studio,
and this is your opportunity of a lifetime to ask him
any questions. Bob Lazar actually saw with his own
eyes--a given number... How many flying saucers have
you seen?
Lazar: Nine.
Goodman: Nine flying saucers, and you know for a fact
they did not come from here. Right? Or am I putting
words in your mouth, I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask that.
Where do you think they came from originally.
Lazar: Yeah, I didn't see them delivered here. My
best guestimation is that they came from another, well,
another world.
Goodman: And when they are flown in this S-4 area, are
they flown by aliens or by military pilots?
Lazar: Well, they're either flown by remote control or
flown by, you know, military pilots.
Goodman: Oh, remote control. Oh.
Lazar: Well, I say either remote control or people
because I did not actually see who got into the disk.
Goodman: Ah, okay. Did it look like there was a lot
of room?
Lazar: A lot of room in the disk?
Goodman: Yeah. Were they that large? I mean, how
large were these things?
Lazar: No, there's not that much room inside. Yeah.
Goodman: Yeah, you have to be small, I imagine.
Lazar: Right.
Goodman: Okay, Bob Lazar is my guest. Let's go and
talk with--This is going to be a good one.--Space Case.
Are you ready for this? Space Case. Okay, Space
Case, you're on the air everywhere on KVEG.
"Space Case": Hey, Bob?
Lazar: Yeah.
"Space Case": Nanu Nanu.
Lazar: Nanu Nanu to you.
