Lazar has (slowly) begun to reappear, as last year was the 25th anniversary of that story breaking. He did an appearance on Coast to Coast a few weeks ago with George Knapp and he'll be appearing at the International UFO Congress in just under a month.
There are some different possibilities for what his story may have been, even if he is speaking truthfully (and I believe he is). He may have been (unbeknownst to him...) a stalking horse in a search for foreign espionage or the victim of a deliberate misinformation campaign in order to help cover up more conventional research going on there. Or he may have seen exactly what he thought he saw.
I do believe he's honest. He's really had nothing to gain from all of this all along, and he's been a hesitant witness since day 1, if George Knapp is to be believed. Lazar's kept himself persona non gratis in the UFO field for decades. He's been a straight business man, with some government contracts I believe, all this time, and has tried to keep himself separate from all the UFO bullshit.
Whatever the case ends up being, and we may never be able to ascertain what the truth actually was, he really did play a huge role simply by getting the story of Area 51 out there.
