Well they would have to be quick with their spades considering its half-life is only 0.65 seconds and acccording to real scientific study & research: only 110 atoms of the element have ever been observed.

He knew gravity was a wave forty years before it was confirmed.

... What happened to it? That's a story for another time. It's in a spot now where nobody could get to it. But it's still there. One of these days maybe after Bob's gone I'll go dig it up

The idea of gravitational waves (and it is "gravitational waves"; a "gravity wave" is a different thing associated with weather) is more than 100 years old; Poincare wrote about them in 1906 and Einstein predicted their existence in 1916. All Lazar needed to do to know anything about gravitational waves is to read a little publicly-available information about Einstein.
That's also how he could have known about the potential for element 115 to exist way back before it was found. Even before element 115 t was found -- and before Lazar ever mentioned it -- the idea that it likely existed was something that could be found in chemistry textbooks of the time.
Lazar knowing of gravitational waves and element 115 just shows that he might have read about them Scientific American magazine or something similar back in the 1980s -- not that he possessed any secret and special knowledge.
By the way, gravity is not a wave (as lazar claimed); that's not what Poincare or Einstein theorized, and it's not what LIGO confirmed in 2015. Gravitational waves are waves in spacetime made by a gravitational disturbance. That is, it's not gravity that is moving in a wave as Lazar stated, but rather gravity that caused the wave of spacetime to propagate.
So Lazar was wrong about that.
My respect for Knapp has declined since it's apparent he's more interested in promoting topics for their entertainment value, than in publishing the truth. The latter is less profitable I suppose.

So what's the excuse for denying the ultimate proof? Why would he need to wait for Bob Lazar's death. Surely proving it existed ends all the speculation once and for all?
Was it just a a big lie to entertain the crowd?
Why does no one pressure Knapp to prove it and dig it up with a live TV crew one day? It would be the find of the century wouldn't it?
Or Knapp should admit he was lying and face the prospect that he's considered no more honest than Bob Lazar.
Neither of those really gets at the main point that when Lazar talked about physics about 30 years ago he obviously didn't understand physics at any deep level, he merely spouted off some pseudoscientific sounding things that would never fool a real physicist, but has fooled some Lazar fans who also don't know physics.

It has never been absolutely proven that gravity is not a wave, nor has it been proven that element 115 does not have another isotope that would be stable.
Lazar says the technology to harness gravity not only exists but is being tested at S-4. And, if such technology is beyond human capabilities, it must have come from someplace else. It's more than conjecture, he says, because he also saw an element that cannot be found on the periodic chart. 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.
And what sort of place is that?
Lazar: "Next to a much larger sun where there would be greater mass. Maybe a binary star system -- a super-nova -- somewhere where there is just a bigger release of energy to synthesize these things naturally. It has to be a naturally occurring element."
Supernovae change the chemical composition of the ISM, by adding elements which were not present before, or were only present in trace amounts. Though these explosions only occur a few times a century in our Galaxy, they are responsible for the synthesis of all the elements heavier than iron, including many we come across in daily life, like copper, mercury, gold, iodine and lead.
Could it be as simple as a behind the scenes, (unbeknownst to anyone but them two) personal gentlemen’s promised agreement (verbal and or NDA’ish) not to reveal the location until Bob is gone, because to do so while he is living will somehow cause his termination? He’s just looking to live out his life left alone and as naturally as possible. I’m just saying.....It’s possible.
often wonder about humans need to know sometimes when it comes to “revealing” something. For instance.... ok so Knapp goes against the possible agreement made with bob. The artifact is presented to the world.... then what?

I suppose the question should be this: who holds more credibility in regards to who is more trustworthy in relation to their findings?
Is it the combined Scientific knowledge and knowledge of those institutions that carried out the experiments and then the other institutions that replicated those experiments for confirmation - including:
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Russia)
Lund University
GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
OR should we believe - Bob Lazar?
I do not mean to come over as Sarchastic in this post, but I think the answer to your question is pretty obvious.

Yes the FBI raid on Bob's business premises was part of a homicide investigation and nothing to do with trying to acquire the non-existent Element 115 he allegedly possessed.
Jeremy Friedman Hynek Vallee Doorbell and Bob lied about the reason for the raid to sex up a film. Knapp is guilty by association as he co-produced the movie.
See :
Bob Lazar FBI Raid – Released FOI Documents Reveal Why...
Yet it seems that people don't pay attention to detail.
I’m pretty sure I got my information about the murder from Lazar on his interview with joe rogan. I could be wrong though. I’ve been looking into this for 20 years or so, so I mix my sources sometimes.
I still choose to believe there is truth in his story. He knew gravity was a wave forty years before it was confirmed. He was in the los alamos phone book etc.
does anyone know anything about isotopes because I really don’t
Lazar claims that he worked at Area S4 from December of 1988 to April of
1989. He further stated that he was only at the S4 facility a total of 6 times.
This would mean that Lazar
only had memory of actual “hands on” experience working at S4 for a grand total of one day.
