From a 1971 Australian intelligence memo often cited by UFO whistleblower David Grush, we basically now know that Bonson and his Institute of Field Physics at North Carolina, Chapel Hill, were just academic satellites of the CIA tasked with studying anti-gravity.
But here's the weirdest detail that makes me think the Lazar story was intentionally pushed out by the CIA.
His story was leaked to the public by a CIA pilot, a close friend of his named John Lear, who flew cargo planes for the CIA and set all sorts of aviation records of the 70s.
But after doing a little more research on John Lear, I kind of just think he was doing the bidding of the CIA.
He acted like he disaffiliated from the CIA in 83.
But according to George Knapp himself, Lear may have flown planes for the CIA well into the 80s around the time he leaked the Lazar story.
You're CIA.
If there was an active UFO program under the CIA going on in the 80s, why would they continue to contract with a guy leaking secrets about their holy grail top black program?
In the 80s, Lear continues to fly cargo planes for the CIA on top secret missions.
And then Lazar gets hired at Area 51 by an apparent secret CIA UFO program that doesn't seem to care that his friend Lear has been hanging out around Area 51 and photographing it for the better part of a decade.
And why would the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence need to do all this theoretical antigravity work in the first place?
Both guys played a big part in the initial formation of the CIA.
John Warner IV, the grandson of CIA founding member Paul Mellon, also has a story he likes to tell.
