Talk:Bob Lazar/Archive 1

Re his arrest for working in a brothel, the article says that he installed "stereo equipment". However, I've just watched an interview with Lazar on Discovery called "UFO : Down to Earth" in which he said that he installed a computer in the brothel to make it run more efficiently. Should this be changed? BobThePirate 07:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Is it the same Bob Lazar? Apparently so
X1987x added the thing about United Nuclear, no doubt after reading the Wired article at http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.06/chemistry.html If this is the same Bob Lazar then it's absolutely an appropriate link, and indeed we should have a paragraph about United Nuclear and a sentence or two about the arrest, with a link to Wired as a reference. But is it the same Bob Lazar? I wasn't sure, but Mahood's timeline does mention a company by that name. So I'll amend the article with more info. It's kind of lazy of Wired to mention Lazar and forget his colourful past. I'll update the article with more on UN and the Wired article. Middenface 17:45, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, and this Bob is exactly the same age as Wired's Bob. Snap! Middenface 17:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm surprised there's no mention in this article (or the Wired article for that matter) about Bob's other claim to fame "Desert Blast" (which itself is probably a good topic for its own wikipedia article.) His activities in the pyro community and Desert Blast in particular are more likely the reason he gained the attention of the CPSA than the sales from his company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.67.91 (talk • contribs)


 * Wow, yes, you're right - this guy is just a neverending story. And Wired has covered Desert Blast, back in 1994 - http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.12/desert.blast.html (surely someone at Wired has enough sense to at least search their own archives?). I'll cook up some Desert Blast discussion asap. Middenface 14:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Lie Detector Test
Anyone have a link to show that Bob Lazar took a lie detector test and passed it? (thus verifying that he at least believes his claims). I saw the test on a TV show (the video was on Google Video, after a search for 'Robert Lazar'). I can't find something online other than the video to verify it. Should there just be a citation for the video? --JOK3R 19:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * We'd really need some provenance for the show; that is, we'd need to say what show it was and when it was made (otherwise we're just saying we found something on google video - we can't even really claim that it really is Lazar). Middenface 19:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It was the news segment from Las Vegas where he was interviewed for the 2nd time. I forgot to mention, it also showed how some of his former employers denied him ever working there, even though the news was able to obtain copies of his W2's and a work record. It also showed that the hospital in which he was born in had "no record" of him ever being born, so they had to actually speak to the doctor who delivered him. It was indeed interesting, and what actually got me paying some attention to Lazar. --JOK3R 19:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Robert vs. Bob?
I'm just curious as to why "Robert Lazar," his full name, redirects to "Bob Lazar," and not the other way around? The bolded, initial text says "Robert Scott Lazar," and yet the article is titled differently (which is completely acceptable, but it doesn't make sense to me why the main article that others redirect to isn't titled after his real name). I'm a little hesitant to Be Bold here, since I like to assume that people have good reasons for stuff like this :) -VetteDude 20:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's because he's almost always referred to as "Bob Lazar". It's the only way I've ever heard his name.  GreatGatsby 02:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. At because naming conventions says "Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize", the article is at "bob" and not "robert" or "robert scott". Middenface 14:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

We must warn our unsuspecting readers!
I am pretty sure United Nuclear is a front-end for CIA, a fake venture (just like red mercury business was a front-end to entrap suspected atomic smugglers and terrorists in the ealry and mid-90s). The wikipedia should carry a warning that buying anything, even a radiant smile from Mr. Lazarus is a sure way to have yourself registered in national security supercomputers.

This guy showed top secret employment papers for Area 51 on national TV. Even the government admits those papers were genuine, they only deny there are UFOs there. Yet, he was neither executed, incarcerated for life or put into mental asylum. Not much guess to realize he struck a deal with secret services to save his life, he now acts as a honeypot to catch other dangerous lunatics. 195.70.48.242 11:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Uh, right. That would be very useful information indeed and I'm sure that our readers would benefit mightily.  Unfortunately, it counts as original research and that's not allowed on Wikipedia. Phiwum 12:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
