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.

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] ▶

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] ▶

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] ▶

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] ▶

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 perhaps to get a much clearer understanding of John Lear's potential motivations,

[0:44:57 - 0:45:02] ▶

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.

Like, my good friend that died, John Lear, who had a bunch of crazy thoughts.

[0:41:23 - 0:41:29] ▶

John Lear was an eccentric individual.

[0:41:52 - 0:41:54] ▶

And – but he – John Lear was a loose cannon.

[0:42:28 - 0:42:32] ▶

But, I mean, John Lear was such like a loose cannon.

And he was referring to John Lear, who's a well-known conspiracy theorist, but also a pilot

[0:17:10 - 0:17:17] ▶

had with John Lear was one that was friendly, but he didn't buy into any of the stuff John

[0:17:27 - 0:17:33] ▶

And so he started bringing his friends up, like John Lear, I think Gene Huff, I think all these guys, started bringing them up to a place which is no longer accessible, but a place that overlooked S4 back then.
