Disambiguation: Robert Scott Lazar (b. 1959) is distinct from other individuals named Bob or Robert Lazar. He is primarily known as the 1989 Area 51 whistleblower claiming reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial technology, not to be confused with academics or professionals of the same surname.

Robert Scott Lazar (b. 1959, Coral Gables, Florida) is an American who claimed in 1989 to have worked at a classified facility near Area 51 reverse-engineering extraterrestrial spacecraft. He first appeared on KLAS-TV in May 1989 under the pseudonym 'Dennis' with his face hidden, later revealing his identity in November 1989. Lazar claims to hold master's degrees in physics and electronics from MIT and Caltech, but both institutions have no records of his attendance; he attended Pierce Junior College (1976–1979) but did not complete a degree. His actual employment at Los Alamos was as a technician for a contractor, not as a physicist. Lazar was convicted of felony pandering in 1990 and his company pleaded guilty in 2007 to unauthorized chemical sales. His core claim involving Element 115 as an alien propulsion fuel was contradicted by the element's synthesis in 2003, which demonstrated extreme instability.

Robert Scott Lazar (n. 1959, Coral Gables, Flórida) é um americano que alegou em 1989 ter trabalhado em uma instalação classificada perto de Area 51 realizando engenharia reversa de espaçonaves extraterrestres. Ele apareceu pela primeira vez na KLAS-TV em maio de 1989 sob o pseudônimo 'Denis' com o rosto oculto, revelando sua identidade em novembro de 1989. Lazar afirma possuir mestrados em física e eletrônica pelo MIT e Caltech, mas ambas as instituições não têm registro de sua presença; ele frequentou o Pierce Junior College (1976–1979), mas não concluiu um diploma. Seu emprego real em Los Alamos foi como técnico para um contratante, não como físico. Lazar foi condenado por crime de favorecimento de prostituição em 1990 e sua empresa se declarou culpada em 2007 por vendas não autorizadas de produtos químicos. Sua alegação central envolvendo o elemento 115 como combustível propulsor alienígena foi contradita pela síntese do elemento em 2003, que demonstrou instabilidade extrema.
