In 1967, after having multiple high-level meetings with the Rand Corporation, Bill Lear, and General Curtis LeMay.
[0:25:36 - 0:25:43] ▶
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.
[0:33:54 - 0:34:05] ▶
Good evening, this is John Lear.
[0:34:05 - 0:34:07] ▶
It was a day in 1987, into the studio comes a guy named John Lear.
[0:34:07 - 0:34:11] ▶
Lear literally introduced Bob Lazar to legendary UFO journalist George Knapp, who broke the story.
[0:34:11 - 0:34:17] ▶
Corbel assured me that Lear could barely tie his own shoes.
[0:34:24 - 0:34:27] ▶
But after doing a little more research on John Lear, I kind of just think he was doing the bidding of the CIA.
[0:34:41 - 0:34:46] ▶
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.
[0:34:50 - 0:34:58] ▶
What I am saying is that clearly someone on the inside, someone likely connected to John Lear, obviously wanted this story out.
[0:35:34 - 0:35:42] ▶
Lear was not only close friends with Lazar before Lazar got hired by Area 51.
[0:35:48 - 0:35:53] ▶
Lear had an active newsletter about UFOs at the time.
[0:35:53 - 0:35:56] ▶
Lear constantly spoke at UFO conferences in Vegas, became very actively involved in MUFON, a civilian UFO organization,
[0:35:56 - 0:36:03] ▶
But Lear visited Benowitz after Doty did, and reports were that Benowitz was pretty spooked after that meeting.
[0:36:39 - 0:36:45] ▶
John Lear and his good friend, an aviation photographer and journalist named Jim Goodall, are camping out of Area 51 and Groom Lake constantly.
[0:37:53 - 0:38:01] ▶
At the time, Area 51 security is very aware of John Lear and know exactly who he is by Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp's own admission.
[0:38:01 - 0:38:10] ▶
In the 80s, Lear continues to fly cargo planes for the CIA on top secret missions.
[0:38:10 - 0:38:16] ▶
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.
[0:38:16 - 0:38:28] ▶
They also don't seem to care that John Lear has been systematically spilling secrets about their core UFO program.
[0:38:28 - 0:38:34] ▶
While hanging out one day, John Lear shows Lazar a tape of Billy Meyer, a Swedish UFOlogist who has been caught in multiple known hoaxes.
[0:38:34 - 0:38:42] ▶
In 1989, Bob Lazar goes public with John Lear introducing him to George Knapp.
[0:38:45 - 0:38:50] ▶
But why would Lear or his handlers want to spread all these lies?
[0:39:18 - 0:39:22] ▶
In 87, Lear leaks a story about the F-117 stealth fighter to KLAS, Knapp's news station in Las Vegas, and also gives them a bunch of supposedly top secret UFO tips.
[0:40:23 - 0:40:35] ▶
By Knapp's own account, this information on the F-117 establishes credibility for Lear with the news station.
[0:40:44 - 0:40:51] ▶
But perhaps to get a much clearer understanding of John Lear's potential motivations,
[0:44:57 - 0:45:02] ▶
we have to go all the way back to the 50s to his father, Bill Lear, and the early innings of American UFO and exotic propulsion research.
[0:45:02 - 0:45:11] ▶
Bill Lear invented the Learjet, the first commercial business airliner, and ran Lear Incorporated, an aerospace company based in Santa Monica.
[0:45:11 - 0:45:20] ▶
If there was an original program working on antigravity propulsion, Bill Lear was on it.
[0:45:30 - 0:45:35] ▶
and William Lear, the Autopilot Wizard, is already figuring out gravity control for the weightless craft to come.
[0:45:39 - 0:45:46] ▶
Lear is even on record at the time stating that one of his reasons for believing in flying saucers
[0:45:46 - 0:45:51] ▶
Lear Corporation's headquarters were across the street from Townsend Brown's guidance technologies,
[0:45:55 - 0:46:00] ▶
There's even a video of Lear visiting Agnew Bonson's labs in North Carolina,
[0:46:08 - 0:46:13] ▶
Yes, John Lear had a personal falling out with his father who cut him out of his will.
[0:46:17 - 0:46:21] ▶
And actually, when John Lear saw this footage of his father with Townsend Brown, he was reportedly very emotional.
[0:46:31 - 0:46:37] ▶
Lear Sr. works with Townsend Brown at guidance technologies on antigravity.
[0:46:40 - 0:46:44] ▶
And then Lear Jr. floods the zone with alien-related disinformation to protect these exotic propulsion breakthroughs.
[0:46:50 - 0:46:57] ▶
