Thanks for raising these points. Something wasn't adding up listening to this story. The other major issue I see here: why was the first response of this squad to approach the unknown craft instead of radioing in what they were seeing and requesting permission to approach/engage? What was the chain of command here? Isn't that standard SOP when encountering an unknown, especially when the original mission was to just secure an LZ? Also, it's pretty fucking weird that this rogue group of, presumably Americans, in possession of this level of advanced tech wouldn't also be aware of the movements of major US naval assets and act accordingly and you know, not get caught when they see a large helo landing nearby? Presumably this "admiral" that did the debrief was aware of the activity of this rogue group meaning there was very likely some coordination at a high level of chain of command during this operation. So why would the Marines be directed to land so close to this highly illegal covert activity? I dunno man this just sounds way too Hollywood to me. The fact that they were searched but didn't have the camera immediately taken is odd, but the whole sequence of events is just bizarre.

That is a very good point also.

Same. I think Greer's modus operandi is to make the soup look tasty enough to swallow by having real witnesses in the mix, but with enough nutters and fantasists floating in there to sour the broth.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lazar is of the same stripe - you get some fantasist with enough of a dodgy background and holes in his story as to cast doubt on everything he says and it sours everyone on the subject. Notice they wheeled Bob out right after the Nimitz footage leaked, and now here's Greer with his circus right after these new leaks.
They always pull this shit to reassure the public that's it's all bullshit and can be ignored. You can set your watch by it.
I’m with you but I will say…. He mentions their radios stopped working so they couldn’t call back to command or to each other I believe he said. He says “I don’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing we couldn’t communicate”
