The gravity amplifiers he describes seem so primitive; like landing gear or something. Also, inertial dampers aside, wouldn't they just tear off the craft?
The inability of Lazar to explain how this "anti gravity" system works is such an indicator that there is something wrong with his stories. A technician/engineer/scientist will never rest before knowing at least some principles behind the things...

We've talked about apps that will add UFOs to your vacation photos, and every one of these is a hoax. But most don't make it to the UFO reddit...

Richard, I propose you add back some fire loads to the Pfizer buildig—two storeys of office furniture, paper, and ceiling tiles...
I offer in refutation the Adamski lampshade from Venus, launching a whole fleet of copycat UFOs that looked like that (including Nazi saucers!) because people thought this looked realistic and believable!
