Luigi Vendittelli
Montreal marketer who spent about four and a half years making S4: The Bob Lazar Story (released 3 April 2026), with interviews of George Knapp, Gene Huff, Mario Santa Cruz and Joy Lazar. He argues S-4 is visible in a 1989 USGS map, 2022 Google Earth imagery and an enhanced aerial photo; the map date turned out to be an archive receipt stamp.
