So sure, he could be right and could have some kind of verbal confirmation from people he's spoken to, but he also reeks of confirmation bias, and would probably be one of the first to jump to conclusions without any verifiable proof.
Lazar I've heard differing opinions on. I don't know what to believe because opinions on him are so polarized. Either people appear to want badly to discredit him or to believe him. From what I've seen of him I think he believes in the story he tells, and the way he tells it passes my lie detector as far as visual cues and the consistency in his account, but who knows.

With Bob Lazar, he said that he has a sample of the stable form of element 115, but he seems to still be alive and able to freely talk about everything. If he really wanted to blow the lid off everything, he could unveil a piece of it.
The Tom DeLonge thing is funny, because I assumed he was just a fan of alien mythology and that he was doing a lot of this to promote his wife's production company. When he claimed that he met high level people, I had trouble believing that because I thought why would a high level person risk their career talking to a rock star with no real influence. But then when the leaks came out and it was verified, it kind of gave him some credibility. He also said that he acquired alien artifacts through these contacts, which sounds completely outrageous, but then again, so did the other thing. But again, if he wanted to blow the lid off everything, he could just by producing them. If he thought he was in any real danger, then even advertising it would be dumb. Of course, it is likely that he is using the clout to build up his importance.
