December 27, 2018 Element 115: Lazarium
Bob Lazar is back in the news, at least on the alien blogosphere. Chris is pretty annoyed about it, and what it suggests about our nation's chemistry classes. Some say he is an alien truth whistleblower, who is being unfairly silenced by the FBI because he blew the lid off of Area 51, our use of anti gravity technology, and the government's access to free energy via element 115\. Others say he is a fraud with slightly better than average knowledge of the periodic table. Come listen to our analysis of the Element 115 claims of Mr. Lazar!
