Dog Poker, tell me how
Bob Lazar knew in 1989 that Element 115 (that the debunkers claimed didn't exist) was what powered the crashed/recovered alien craft that he worked on doing reverse engineering at Area 51 - S-4?
Element 115 is an enigma of sorts. It was only added to the
periodic table in 2016, yet for decades it has attracted extra attention because of a supposed connection to extraterrestrial technology and
alien lifeforms.
"Element 115, or moscovium, is a man-made, superheavy element that has 115 protons in its nucleus," emailed Jacklyn Gates, a scientist with the Heavy Elements Group in the
Nuclear Science Division for Berkeley Lab in California, whom we spoke with in 2020. (As with all elements on the periodic table, the element's number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of the element's
atom.) "That is 23 more protons than the heaviest element that you can find in large quantities on Earth, uranium."
It took years for researchers to work
out some of the details about moscovium. It wasn't until 2018 that Berkeley Lab
scientists figured out that the element's mass or atomic weight (the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom) was 288.
Element 115 was only discovered in 2003, but it may sound familiar because the name has been around for decades in connection with
UFOs, aliens and other related phenomena.
We're referring to the long-lived story of
Robert ("Bob") Scott Lazar,
who in 1989 went public with what he said was top-secret information about element 115. Lazar claimed to be a former employee at Area 51, the famous (and highly classified) area of the Nevada Test and Training Range operated by the United States Air Force, where his job was to reverse-engineer crashed alien flying saucers. He said that
he'd personally worked with element 115, which was used to pilot alien spacecraft.
It is "impossible to synthesize an element that heavy here on Earth. ... The substance has to come from a place where superheavy elements could have been produced naturally," Lazar said.
Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell who directed the documentary "
Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers" and is very familiar with Lazar. Corbell emailed us some additional information about Lazar and element 115 that we've excerpted here:
"When Lazar first came forward
in 1989, he made a point to explain that there's no reason a version of element 115 couldn't be synthesized and observed
at some point in the future. In fact —
he predicted that it would be observed just likely not in a stabilized form (because of the statistical improbability of landing on a relevant isotope). ...
The [isotope discovered in 2003] is not the isotope that would account for what Lazar has described having had access to while working at Area 51 (Site 4).
Lazar reports that the 115 he had access to was far more stable.
Unlike the very unstable dog poker.... 😜
