1989 TODAY - ZONE 51On November 11 and 13, 1989, journalist George Knapp reveals to the viewing audience of a television channel in Las Vegas, Nevada, that the government used "retroengineering" on machines coming from the extra-terrestial within the walls of Zone 51 which is part of a top-secret site (Nellis Test Range, Nevada) where US Air Force aircrafts are tested like the F-117, the B-2, Aurora, etc. "Retro-engineering" consists of trying to understand, with use, the functioning of an unknown machine, which can be therefore particularly dangerous. Officially, Zone 51 does not exist, despite the photos which could be taken of it from far away.Knapp's source is a certain Robert Lazar who says that he is one of the scientists working on the project. Lazar claims that the army is working on an "antigravitational jet engine" which would equip the "flying saucers" among which at least nine of this type would be found in a hangar at Zone 51. The jet engine in question would function thanks to a material which is unknown on Earth. Lazar's story, at the outset, is based on the mystery that surrounds the airtests carried out in Zone 51 as well as on the very strict surveillance which reigns over the surrounding area, preventing anyone from getting close by several miles. This does not stop the region from being visited by thousands of people who occasionally see strange lights in the sky at night. The problem is that no one up until now has been able to prove that Robert Lazar is really the scientist that he claims to be. At the very most, two employees from the center in Los Alamos, New Mexico, were revealed and seem to remember that Lazar would have worked on classified projects. However, investigations made in the schools that Lazar said to have frequented (Cal-Tech or MIT) turned up strictly nothing. Even worse, at the beginning of the 90's, Lazar was convicted for his involvement in a prostitution affair... Supposing that this is the case, it remains that the site of Zone 51 is one the most appropriate places to stock UFO pieces which are recovered after crashes like that of Roswell and nothing refutes that it is not there, precisely, where these pieces were sent after having been transferred out of the Wright-Patterson base, in Ohio(see corresponding entry), to be studied. In this case, Robert Lazar perhaps is nothing but a mythomaniac having had wind of what was happening in Zone 51 and who took advantage of these rumors to give himself stature, encouraged by the extremists of ufology.
