Bob Lazar, full name Robert Scott Lazar, is a controversial figure who claims to have worked at the S4 test site near Area 51.
Bob Lazar, a physicist who previously worked at Area 51, asserts that during the reverse engineering of a UFO that crashed in Roswell, an element known as 115 was discovered, which could “warp” gravitational forces. Therefore, it can be said that element 115 is the key to operating flying saucers. But how does this element create a “anti-gravity” effect? Is there something beyond element 115 that we have overlooked?

On November 11 and 13, 1989, viewers of KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, Nevada, were captivated by an astonishing story from news reporter George Knapp: A scientist named Bob Lazar revealed that the U.S. government possessed remnants of extraterrestrial vehicles. From these vehicles, they had achieved extraordinary technological breakthroughs.
Bob Lazar claimed he had worked at the S-4 facility, a secret military base previously known as Area 51, a corner of the Nevada test site. There, he read documents indicating ongoing research into a “gravity wave reactor” intended for use in propulsion systems.
Bob Lazar expressed his astonishment, but he was even more shocked when shown nine flying saucers “of extraterrestrial origin” stored in a hangar. These flying saucers operated using element 115 (an element that was unknown at that time).
While Bob Lazar did not elaborate much on why element 115 could create a “warping” effect on gravity, he stated that after conducting reverse engineering on UFOs, he discovered that using protons to collide with element 115 at high speeds would transform it into element 116, resulting in element 116 becoming unstable and beginning to decay. Simultaneously, a large amount of antimatter is produced, with antimatter and matter annihilating each other, releasing vast amounts of energy. At this point, the nuclear force field is amplified, distorting the related space-time field, leading to “folds” in space-time, allowing the flying saucer to shorten the distance traveled in space.
According to Bob Lazar, the flight method of the flying saucer is very similar to the “warp drive” proposed by physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994. The warp drive is a super-light propulsion system. As seen in the “Star Trek” series, starships use warp engines to achieve interstellar travel. The basic principle is to create a “space-time bubble” around the spacecraft. According to Bob Lazar’s description, this space-time bubble distorts the space and time fields, causing “folds” in space-time, which can propel the spacecraft forward, allowing it to safely reach or exceed the speed of light.
In 2003, element 115 was discovered by Russian scientists; it was added to the periodic table in 2013. However, this element (also known as muscovium) does not resemble the element described by Lazar—Lazar claimed his element could power alien spacecraft and “warp” gravitational forces. To date, no practical applications for muscovium have been found, as it has a half-life of less than one second and thus decays very quickly.
In 2019, Vice published a lengthy article about Lazar, detailing that the FBI and Michigan state police raided Lazar’s “scientific supply” company in 2017, searching for talc, a substance that could be used as poison.
However, conspiracy theorists believe that Lazar’s company was raided due to activities related to element 115.
In 2020, The New York Times drew global attention when it reported that the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, established to investigate unidentified flying objects, was said to have disbanded but actually still existed and operated under the Navy Intelligence Agency’s auspices.
The newspaper further reported that Luis Elizondo, who was the director of the task force until he resigned in 2017, believed that unidentified objects had been recovered by the Pentagon for research purposes. The significant UFO story once again ignited a long-standing debate.
So does this mean that Lazar’s secret about element 115 is true? Many believe that Bob Lazar’s claims about element 115 are valid after independent filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released a documentary about him. Corbell asserted that this would be “the biggest UFO story of all time” and marked the first time Lazar officially acknowledged his previously shocking information.
