A lot of the Area 51 related UFO tales began in the mid 1980's with a man named John Lear. He would seem credible in a lot of ways: He's the son of the Learjet developer, and a former Air Force pilot.

Funny that you say this! What might intrest you is a statement From Black Word Researcher, and Avaiton Photojournalist Mark Farmer, who works with Author Bill Sweetman:

P.S.: If you Look up thelivingmoon.com, you'll find that John Lear created that page. Ask yourself why John is using his own website as proof of his claims. (He put the info on that site) Strange, isn't it?

Remind you of Anyone?
U2U John and ask him how his dad is doing!
John had made a name for himself in the world of UFO and Avation Research. His wild UFO stories are legondary in Nevada. Many of these stories sounds good until you examin the facts. The problem is too few people examin the evidence for themselves.
Here are 2 good examlpes:
The Lazar story- Really, what are the odds of a Scientist from Area 51 just happening to meet up with a famous UFO fanatic and deciding that this is one of the few people in the world he trusts enough to share details of a Top Secret Project with? Has anyone ever taken a serious look at this question?
When the DSS reviews security clearances, one of the first things they look into is who you socialize with. Don't you think being friends with a famous UFO entusiest would have raised some questions about Bob at his work?
Then there's John's CLAIM that he was CIA. For EX-CIA, John's aweful eager to talk about secret stuff in front of the world, even giving interview. He freely talks about flying for them.
I have some close, long-time friends who work at NSA (won't mention any names for their protection). To this day, not one will say what they do.
The problem here is that John's credentials don't hold up under closer examination.
I'm not out to put John down on a personal level. All I'm saying is the Facts Don't fit any of his claims.

I do not have any flying medals. I have a number of FAA certificates which were earned and can be verified at faa.gov.
I only have one medal and it is the The International Order of the Knights Grand Cross of the Star of Asia.
Also I thought John apparently met Bob Lazar after Bob started working at S4 etc..
I met Bob in the summer of 1988 with Gene Huff. Beginning in November 1988 after he called Dr. Teller for a job he had 3 security interivews. The first question on the second interview was "Do you know John Lear'. During the same month 3 friends of Bob's who still worked at LANL were given an 'unscheduled security interview'. The questions were whether ot not they knew John Lear or had talked to him. Bob was hired to work at S-4 in December. His first trip to S-4 was on December 6, 1988.
Tim please can you explain further on how you think John's credentials do not hold up this could be very interesting

Oh and by the way I think Mr Lear was Captain of an American Trans Air flight I was on from London to New York in 1991. Not sure for certain as the only thing I remember was this gruff sounding Captain using some expletives because 2 passengers were late and when they showed up he asked us all to give them a big round of applause !! We refuelled in Gander which I remember was a God forsaken place.

John : At one time or another you were definitely a high security risk for
some people. Have they threatened you? Recently?
If you're no longer a "player", do you still want to find "the facts",
or have you washed your hands of the whole thing and now just
sit back and laugh at some of the inquiries that pop up ?
Finding a credible source is not easy.
