Bob Lazar -- The Sport Model: The Craft He Worked On
[edit | edit source]Designation and Appearance
[edit | edit source]Lazar named the craft he was assigned to work on the "Sport Model" -- his own informal designation based on what he described as its sleek, clean design aesthetic compared to the other craft at S-4. It is the extraterrestrial spacecraft he has described in the greatest detail.
| Feature | Lazar's Description |
|---|---|
| Shape | Classic disc/flying saucer form; circular with a central dome |
| Diameter | Approximately 52 feet (approximately 15.8 metres) |
| Height | Approximately 16-18 feet at the highest point (the dome) |
| Material | Described as similar in appearance and feel to liquid titanium; metallic, smooth, without any texture consistent with machining or fabrication; no welds, rivets, seams, or fastener points visible |
| Colour | Metallic; described variously as silvery or having a slightly blue-grey sheen depending on lighting |
| Surface condition | Absolutely smooth; no markings, identification numbers, or insignia of any kind |
| Entry | A single hatch; Lazar described a specific entry procedure |
| Interior size | Surprisingly small given exterior dimensions; Lazar estimated the interior as cramped by human standards |
| Seating | Three seats; low to the floor and small -- clearly not designed for standard-height human occupants |
| Interior features | Minimal; extremely sparse by comparison with any human aircraft or spacecraft; no visible wiring, instruments, control panels, switches, or displays of conventional type |
| Structural feel | Inside, the walls had an organic quality; rounded surfaces throughout; no sharp angles |
| Reactor location | Central to the craft; Lazar said the gravity propulsion reactor sat approximately in the center of the craft |
| Amplifier positions | Three gravity amplifiers on the underside; positioned in a triangular arrangement; projecting slightly from the bottom surface |
The Material Properties
[edit | edit source]The material of the Sport Model's hull was one of the most unusual elements of Lazar's description. He stated:
- It was unlike any material he had encountered in his prior work in aerospace or nuclear research
- It had the visual appearance of metal -- reflective, metallic -- but its texture and feel were unlike machined metal
- It felt almost liquid-smooth despite being a rigid solid
- It appeared to have no grain, no directionality, no evidence of a manufacturing process
- Standard tools did not work on it as expected -- it could not be easily drilled, cut, or otherwise modified by conventional means
These material properties -- if accurate -- would imply a manufacturing process fundamentally different from anything in human metallurgy.
The Three Seats
[edit | edit source]The three seats inside the Sport Model were consistently described by Lazar as a significant observation:
- They were low to the floor -- approximately knee height for a standard adult
- Their size was described as suitable for beings significantly shorter and lighter than average adult humans
- No adjustment mechanism was visible
- The positioning -- three seats in a triangular or close formation -- had no obvious parallel to human aircraft cockpit design
Lazar's inference from the seat design: the craft was not built for humans and had not been modified to accommodate humans. It was exactly as it was recovered.
