I think the Lazar story is a mix of truths and lies.
I do believe he worked there, and I do believe he heard stories there or seen something out of the ordinary.
Lazar said element 115 couldn't be made in a lab, that's why it's so ironic that people say the "discovery" of element 115 proves Lazar right, they don't even know what he actually said!

I'm with you my friend.
For 30 years little tid bits have been proven legit about Bob.
Either it really happened, or he should buy a lotto ticket cuz his predictions are batting 100.
Lazar also suggested that Element 115 could not be synthesized on Earth, as it is simply too heavy. Lazar claimed instead that the substance could only be made in very large stars. Though the powers that be at S-4 had pounds and pounds of the stuff.
Despite his claims, scientists in Russia did succeed in synthesizing a material which fits in the appropriate slot on the periodic table.

He was referring to the stable isotope from what I remember him saying. And it is indeed true that those isotopes can't be synthesized. And so far have not been.
Even when he contradicts himself? Same question for you as for DrumsRFun, which of his two stories do you believe? They are not the same story, they contradict each other, and Bob is the source for both of them:

In my opinion, its REALLY HARD to view anything Bob Lazar says as a lie. Extremely difficult.
If you watch that video and hear Bob contradict himself, I don't see how you can say you believe both stories. You either have to believe one story Bob told, or the other story Bob told. They can't both be true, which makes his credibility about as low as it can get, regardless of which story you believe.

Looks like he really did change his story and Knapp and Corbell are grifters. Shame on them all.

Here is what Bob Lazar said, no mention of any isotopes.

That's what he said, which any real physicist will tell you is a pretty good demonstration that Bob Lazar is not a physicist, since it contradicts what physicists know about how elements are made in nature, and in labs or accelerators.
The element, called 115, can be stored in lead casings much like this one [showing a lead circular container]. Lazar says the government has 500 pounds of it, and it cannot be made on earth.
Lazar: "It would be almost impossible; well, it is impossible to synthesize an element that heavy here on Earth."
Interviewer: "At least right now."
Lazar: "I don't think that you can ever synthesize it. The amount of....you essentially have to assemble it by bombarding it with protons if....atom by atom, it would take an infinite amount of power and an infinite amount of time. The substance has to come from a place where super-heavy elements could have been produced naturally.
