                      THE LAZAR FLAWS - Odds and Ends



In assembling the data for this series, there were some areas that generated
some nagging questions.  While the available information didn't suggest
these areas were full fledged flaws in Lazar's story, they are curious.
Some may be easily explained, some maybe not.  In any case, the following
are presented for the readers to consider:


1.  Both "Omni" Magazine and Timothy Good's "Alien Contact" reported that 
    Lazar bought at least partial ownership in a legal brothel near Reno 
    in the early 1980s.  Good said it was called "The Honeysuckle Ranch".  
    "Omni" reported the investment was so profitable Lazar didn't have to 
    return to full-time employment for several years.  However such an 
    ownership was not mentioned in Lazar's bankruptcy papers in 1986.  A 
    search of Nevada telephone directories failed to turn up a listing for 
    a "Honeysuckle Ranch", nor was it listed in the book "The Best Cat 
    Houses in Nevada" by J.R. Schwartz (Obviously an impeccable reference!)

2.  Lazar has stated he was driven to S-4 from Groom in a bus over dirt 
    roads.  The fact that it was in a bus implies that the road would have 
    to be in fairly decent condition, and certainly not a jeep trail.  
    However, a review of the satellite photo of Papoose Lake, on Lazar's 
    very own poster, shows no evidence of such a road.  Roads of varying 
    quality do clearly show up on the east side of the Papoose Range, so 
    the photo obviously should be able to resolve them were they there.

3.  Lazar said at Rachel in 1993, that when he got on the bus at Groom 
    to go to S-4, usually only Dennis Mariani was on the bus with him.  
    Only occasionally was there one other person.  Yet there were a number 
    of others at S-4, technicians, scientists and security.  How did they 
    come and go?  Why was Lazar brought in at such unusual times that 
    everyone else was already at work?  Perhaps they used a different 
    method they did not want to reveal to Lazar?

4.  Lazar has said on several occasions that, aside from the security, 
    working at S-4 was a "dream job".  He also claims to have had a Q 
    clearance so should be quite familiar with the requirements of 
    working in a highly secret compartmentalized environment.  Yet he 
    easily violated all his signed agreements and oaths by freely 
    disclosing information to his friends.  He even set up three "group 
    outings" for he and his friends to witness flight operations of what 
    I'm sure Lazar would agree is the most secret program the US has.  Why
    would someone familar with government security requirements not only
    jeopardize his job, but also his very freedom, to do such a thing?

5.  Another part of the tail Lazar relates is that he had in his possession,
    apparently after he had been dropped from the program, a small quantity 
    of element 115.  He says he accquired this from contacts at Los Alamos, 
    where Lazar says the material was machined.  Lazar said his house was 
    broken into and the 115 taken.  At Rachel in 1993, Lazar added that the 
    115 was in PRIVATE hands.  What is meant by "private hands", and why 
    would the government allow a material capable of a devastating 
    antimatter reaction rest in private hands?
