Lazar credentials dispute.

MIT & Caltech have no record of his claimed degrees; named prof taught at Pierce JC not Caltech; Los Alamos role was contractor technician. Widely judged fabricated; supporters claim records expunged.
Lazar claims MS Physics (MIT) and MS Electronics (Caltech). Neither institution has records. Named professor 'Bill Duxler' was at Pierce Junior College, never Caltech, and Lazar was enrolled in his Pierce course while claiming to be at MIT 2,500 mi away (Stanton Friedman). High-school rank ~261/369. Los Alamos lists him only as a Kirk-Mayer contractor technician. EG&G and Los Alamos had no employment records as claimed. Skeptics (Friedman, Prothero, Callahan) and many ufologists conclude the background was fabricated; supporters say records were suppressed (unverified).
