In the new Chris Ramsay interview with Bob Lazar, Bob suggests that Dennis John Mariani (born in 1940) is the man he worked with at S4. While Dennis John Mariani's gravestone is shown on screen, Bob says: "It looked like Dennis Mariani died... I had pictures of a gravestone and, you know, people seem to - this guy, it connects all the dots. This looks like it was the guy." I published an article about this Dennis Mariani last month, and it is highly implausible that he worked at a classified facility in Nevada at the time of Bob's story. He was a longtime pool salesman who was living in Texas in 1989, and had been convicted of a felony in 1987. He would go on to be convicted of another crime in 2002. Link to the full article is in the post below.

A previously unpublished letter from reporter George Knapp to Stanton Friedman contains new details about early claims Bob Lazar had made to Knapp regarding his education. The letter was written in August 1989, just under three months before Knapp first identified Lazar publicly in his Las Vegas TV series UFOs: The Best Evidence. In the letter, Knapp states that Lazar told him "he graduated from high school, somewhere in Southern California, at age 15." During a pre-sentence investigation related to his conviction for Pandering, the Nevada Department of Parole and Probation verified that Lazar graduated from from W. Tresper Clarke High School in Westbury, New York at the age of 17. "The defendant was able to supply this department with a high-school graduation certificate dated August 30, 1976 from W. Tresper Clark High School, East Meadow School District #3, Westbury, New York." Friedman later independently confirmed this. In the August 1989 letter to Friedman, Knapp also describes what Lazar had told him about his college education: "[Lazar] attended two other colleges prior to MIT -- Pierce College and U.C. Northridge." The letter makes no mention of Caltech, where Lazar would later claim to have earned a Master of Science in Electronic Technology in 1985. That claim appears, among other places, in Lazar's 1990 statements to the Nevada Department of Parole and Probation, which recorded that Lazar claimed to hold a Masters of Science in Physics from MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, awarded in 1982 - before receiving a second Masters degree from Caltech in 1985 (rather than attending Caltech first and then MIT, as he has claimed in the majority of interviews since 1989). The letter is published for the first time below.

A look at variations in Bob Lazar's claims around what he was or wasn't told about how the US government recovered or came into possession of the craft at S4. Sources in post below.

The evidence Luigi Venditelli describes in the clip below as being "indisputible" and "100% proves something that Bob Lazar said in 1989" appears to be this photo taken by Gabriel Zeifman from an aircraft approximately 17 miles away from Papoose Lake. In the documentary, Venditelli says that "all you have to do is play with the contrast, play with the levels in the image. And if you look carefully in this version here where the contrast has been changed, that as we zoom, look what we see... You see them [the S4 hangars] clearly right there."

🔸David Grusch Op-Ed Update Round Up🔸 Just over one year ago, on December 11th 2023, David Grusch announced in an appearance on NewsNation that in a matter of weeks he would be publishing an op-ed that would include details of his first hand knowledge of "the program." Grusch: "Well, I couldn't be very upfront about my firsthand knowledge until recently. I got some other security approvals through the pre-publication and security review process, and I did have some firsthand knowledge of some specific parts of the program. I'm currently drafting an op-ed that I'm going to release in a few weeks and I'll be discussing what I actually do know firsthand. I just could not overtly discuss it at the time, including at the hearing because the Pentagon and the IC were sitting on some of my pre-publication and review paperwork at the time. So I could not acknowledge that." "The deeper description of what I know has been redacted. They proposed a redaction in a pre-publication and security review response a few days ago, and they're telling me to withhold legally some of the firsthand knowledge I have, but I'm allowed to generally discuss that I was read into a UAP related program directly by the US government." -- UPDATES SINCE THEN -- January 5th 2024 Ross Coulthart says on the Need to Know podcast that there was hope the op-ed would be published in January 2024, but that "it's looking like it might more likely be in February." (See link 1 in follow-up post) ----------------- January 8th 2024 In a private lecture purportedly set up a by a "Wall Street big wig" and an attorney, Grusch appears to have previewed some of the new information he was cleared to share. According to a Reddit post from a user who attended the lecture, Grusch stated the following (lightly edited for readability, see link 2 in follow-up post for original notes): "... he was part of an extremely secret program that had figured out how to track and find UAPs in our atmosphere and near earth orbit. He said his op-ed will include much more details regarding this." "He was told about a UAP that was in our possession that had a diameter of around 40 ft, but once you went inside, it was the size of a football field. They believed that the object was somehow able to manipulate both space and time. He also said that the object was both using and creating energy that was more than a terrawatt when measured." "He also mentioned that he had recently been informed that a US adversary was considering full disclosure to get out ahead of the US and that he passed this information along to the US government. He also alluded to the retaliation that was had taken against him. It sounded pretty terrifying, and he wasn't the only one to be retaliated against. Multiple people involved in not only his investigation but also his fellow peers in the UAP Task Force, such as Jay stratton, were also threatened. He wouldn't go too much into since it's an open investigation , but these people pretty showed him that they could touch him or his family any time they wanted. He also mentioned that the US has taken part in a fair amount of crash retrevials before 1933. Also that we wouldn't be surprised by what the NHI look like, such as they look like the typical grey and they aren't sure where these being have come from." "Interestingly, he also mentioned how many people know the full scope of the phenomenon to be no more then 50 people, but it wasn't clear whether this meant 50 people currently alive or 50 people ever in history." ----------------- February 27th 2024 Despite Grusch saying in his original statement that he had already received the necessary approval, Chris Sharp claims in an X post that DOPSR has not yet approved the draft Grusch had submitted. Sharp: "That includes David Grusch, whose own upcoming op-ed regarding UAP has been delayed by the DOPSR. The office has not finished its review of the draft he submitted two months ago." (See link 3) ----------------- March 5th 2024 On Episode #50 of the Weaponized podcast, George Knapp and Jeremey Corbell had the following exchange regarding the op-ed. Knapp: "We do stay in touch with him on a regular basis and the whole world's been waiting for this op-ed that was promised that he was going to put out in February that was going to be fairly explosive or revelatory. We haven't seen it yet. And Dave has testified and said in public multiple times, he has firsthand witnesses who do work in these programs that he has brought them forward. So give me a sense of where is that? Where is it? When do we get to see it?" Corbell: "So everybody wants to hear an op-Ed from David Grusch. It'd be amazing. New York Times Op-Ed. Then you counter the bullshit that you heard from people like what's his name? Kirkpatrick? So there you go. He could do that. Part of me wonders is there a bigger card that could be played? And I don't know, George." Knapp: "What could you mean possibly mean?" Corbell: "Just saying that there may be a bigger card."

Like it's so clear that they are run by Intel, and just have a clear a priori bias towards we just won't publish anything sort of pro disclosure at this point." (See link 5) ----------------- April 24 2024 In response to a Reddit user asking him if he has heard anything about the op-ed, Ross Coulthart says "Yes. I hear it's coming." In a response to another user, he says "The Op-Ed is coming" (See link 6 and 7) ----------------- If there are any more recent updates not included here yet, drop it in a reply to this post and I'll update to add it.
