"...when I was at Los Alamos at the lab working, he did some electrical technician work that I’m aware of. There was no reference to him ever having a background in physics. "
"He was employed by Butler [Fred later clarified he meant Kirk-Mayer], who supplied contract technicians to the laboratory...He worked at the laboratory for a short time, got crosswise with the management because he was misusing the laboratory telephones. And so they let him go, which was easy because he didn’t work for the lab."
My recollection is he was a technician, which would not be a physicist. I’m sure he wasn’t a physicist because if he was, I would have known him well because I was [a physicist]...I think he was a technician of some sort, but I couldn’t even tell you what kind of a technician.
I couldn’t say anything unequivocally “Oh absolutely, he was a physicist” — no....I do certainly remember saying he certainly wasn’t the janitor. If I said unequivocally that he was a physicist, then I think that would have been wrong.
And so they let him go, which was easy because he didn’t work for the lab

That rings true. If a government site declares a contractor unwelcome in their facility (that is, the work site), then the employer will let the contractor go. He was probably on an "at will" contract which allows the employer to let the employee go at any time.

A duck could get a Q clearance, if a civilain contracting company
sponsored them, and they passed the extensive background checks
When i got my secret clearance, I was a minnesota farm boy.. and
they talked to my 8th grade sorta girlfriend even.

They always say that... those type of ads.
But when I was out of the nuclear military and applied
for jobs, that said the same language.. they also said
'cough coughh' we will get you sponsored if you are
the best candidate and we have no other choice.

I have no desire to slur the man. I only know
basic common sense, and people who knew
and worked with him.

Fred worked at Area 51 during the time Bob said he was flying there to then take a bus to a supposed S4 at Papoose. Fred checked the Area 51 security lists(current and historical) and Bob was not on them. Based on that and because there was no base at Papoose, Fred had told George that Bob's story was not true
After reading an account by Bob Lazar of the “physics” of his Area 51 UFO propulsion system, my conclusion is this: Mr. Lazar presents a scenario which, if it is correct, violates a whole handful of currently accepted physical theories. That in and of itself does not necessarily mean that his scenario is impossible. But the presentation of the scenario by Lazar is troubling from a scientific standpoint. Mr. Lazar on many occasions demonstrates an obvious lack of understanding of current physical theories. On no occasion does he acknowledge that his scenario violates physical laws as we understand them, and on no occasion does he offer up any hints of new theories which would make his mechanism possible. Mr. Lazar has a propensity for re-defining scientific terms, and using scientific language in a confusing and careless way. For these reasons, I don’t feel that Lazar’s pseudo-scientific ramblings are really worthy of any kind of serious consideration.
“Also, a Roadrunner (who ran programs at Area-51 for Los Alamos) told me that he knew Lazar’s female supervisor at Area-51 and had her pull up his personnel file. Lazar worked as a radiation health monitor in the unsecured logistics contractor facility outside of Area-51, so he was never inside that site, and he never held security clearances because he didn’t need them to work in an unclassified area. Lazar made up his entire cockamamie story about the UFO that he saw in a building inside Area-51. He was never exposed to any classified information, facilities, or programs in his work area.”
He claims to have attended both MIT and Caltech and to have gotten a master’s degree from both, but there are no records of him attending either, and he can’t even remember when he got his degree. It is very unlikely that both MIT and Caltech would have lost records that he graduated from those schools, and it is also unlikely that he would have also lost HIS OWN DIPLOMAS from both schools. He also supposedly graduated in the bottom third of his class in high school, which makes it very doubtful that he would have been accepted to either of those schools.
