Show me some form of proof other than some guy on youtube lying about how another guy isn't lying.

"Dr G" makes it his life's work to tell stories to gullible people.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9037296/ <- This right here is why I'm sure of this. People are just not good at detecting lies, even "trained" experts. People who claim to be good at detecting lies are deluding themselves or tying to sell you something.

Let's just talk about Bob Lazar. Not his UFO claims, but his education claims.

Lazar claims to have obtained master's degrees in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and in electronics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). However, both universities show no record of him.[1][3] Scientists Stanton T. Friedman and Donald R. Prothero have stated that nobody with Lazar's high school performance record would be accepted by either institution.[1][4] Lazar is unable to supply the names of any lecturers or fellow students from his alleged tenures at MIT and Caltech; one supposed Caltech professor, William Duxler, was in fact located at Pierce Junior College and had never taught at Caltech.[1][5] Friedman asserted, "Quite obviously, if one can go to MIT, one doesn't go to Pierce. Lazar was at Pierce at the very same time he was supposedly at MIT more than 2,500 miles away."[1]

Is it shocking that a man who has been documented lying and trying to con people since the early 80s would just keep doing that?
