Bob Lazar is the reason Area 51 became infamous in the 1980s, and his recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast with 7 million listeners is credited with inspiring the Storm Area 51 phenomenon. In his Dreamland autobiography, Lazar reveals every detail of his highly controversial story about being an insider within the world's most legendary military research base.
Bob Lazar was a brilliant young physicist who found himself employed at a top-secret facility in the middle of the desert outside Las Vegas. Under the watchful eye of the government elite, he was tasked with understanding an exotic propulsion system being used by an advanced aerospace vehicle he was told came from outer space.
The stressful work and long, odd hours began to wear on Bob, and he became concerned for his safety. He told his wife and a couple of close friends about what he was doing in the desert, and his employers found out and were furious. When they stationed goons outside his house, Bob sought help from wealthy ufologist John Lear, who encouraged him to take his story to award-winning investigative journalist George Knapp at KLAS-TV, a CBS affiliate.
To prove he was telling the truth, Bob took a group of people out into the desert to watch a test flight of the "flying saucer." On the way home they were stopped by the police, who notified the base, and Bob lost his job. In a series of interviews with CBS TV, Bob Lazar then blew the lid off "Area 51," blew the whistle on the effort to conceal this craft from the American people, and effectively ended his career as a top physicist.
Bob Lazar's reports have been the subject of intense controversy for decades. He has been interviewed numerous times, and his story has been corroborated by other individuals who worked with him and who were present when these events happened. But until now, Bob Lazar has never told his own story, in every detail and in his own words, about those days in the desert outside Las Vegas and how the world came to learn about the experiments being conducted at Area 51.
