Area 51/Bob Lazar

I'm relatively new to the conspiracy sphere, but David Grusch really caught my attention with his congressional testimony.

This led to hours spent down the rabbit hole including several hours watching interviews of Bob Lazar.

I'm convinced that Lazar isn't a physicist, but I'm also convinced that he has knowledge of Area 51.

Based on these assumptions, which do you find more likely..

Bob Lazar was a low level employee with no real scientific knowledge who was easily discredited once he violated confidentiality OR

Bob Lazar was friends with someone who worked at Area 51 and all the information he's shared is 2nd hand.

What do you believe is most plausible?

*I know some will say that Bob Lazar is telling the truth, but even if transcripts and records were erased, anyone who studied advanced physics courses at a premier university could easily name one or two professors who acted as mentors in determining their field of study.
