Dan Burisch and J-Rod — Dan Burisch claims he studied an extraterrestrial being at the S-4 facility.
Dan Burisch, who also uses the name Dan Crain, has claimed since the early 2000s that he was a microbiologist working at the S-4 facility near Area 51, where he studied an extraterrestrial being he called "J-Rod". He has also claimed he served on a Majestic-12 committee and that the being was a time traveller from the future.
His story was promoted in the mid-2000s by Project Camelot and other outlets. He has a documented academic background, but researchers have found no evidence of his claimed employment at S-4 or elsewhere in classified programs.
Burisch's claims are generally regarded as unsupported. The testimony places them alongside other S-4 claims, such as Bob Lazar's, and the disputed Project Aquarius documents.
