On June 15, 2022, "investigative reporter" George Knapp
said he believed a federal program described by Bob Lazar (holding 9 intact alien craft!) still exists, but he thought it had been moved from "Area 51"--perhaps to Utah or Australia! Will lawmakers press him for evidence at 9-9-25 hearing? 🤔

George Knapp is co-creator of the legend of Bob Lazar, scientist-impersonator. Knapp has promoted Lazar's claim to hold a gravity-defeating alien isotope. It will be notable if Knapp fails to present up front all he "knows" about "Element 115" at the Sept. 9 congressional "UAP transparency" hearing.
