More UFOs Than Ever Before

I think there's probably something to the UFO phenomenon. However I'm convinced Bob Lazar is a fraud. It's a tricky case because certain parts of his story are verifiable, like that he worked at Los Alamos and that his friends did see a moving light in the sky. The best explanation I've seen is here:

The explanation is he worked on particle accelerators as a mechanic (not a physicist), and they were shooting particle beams into the sky. However since this is all likely classified he would be forced to stick to his UFO story.

Seeing unknown/strange things in the sky above a secret military test facility or air force base really doesn't seem that baffling or strange to me.

Why would someone want to shoot a particle accelerator into the sky? (The article mentions plasma balls, but as a non physicist I wonder still "Why?")

The US military probably does not want plasma balls because they look pretty.

Radar spoofing, it's mentioned in the second link. But the author admits it's only a guess.
