If you look at the ships in his movies/photos, they look the same as the 'sport model' that Bob Lazar claims to have seen at Area 51... Now, as I
think Lazar is deliberately spreading disinformation alongside real information... I have to conclude that their fakes, and that lazar just used
Meier's ships as the template for his own.
Also, Meier, in his notebook (which is online at a site run by his friends), he claims that the aliens he meets with are upset with the US government
and won't work with them... at the same time, Lazar claims that the ship he worked on was gifted to the USA by the ETs... so, either their both lying
or just one of them is lying... but I don't think that they can both be telling the truth (unless there's some sort of 'used flying saucer' store
orbiting Epsilon Eridani-- from which various races purcahse their ships

).
