Project Gravator focuses on S4, a facility established in 1988 and 1989 where Bob Lazar was brought to reverse engineer alien technology. S4 was built into a mountainside near Papu Lake and within the Area 51 compound.

The facility operated three projects: Project Galileo focused on power and propulsion, Project Site Kick dealt with weapons applications, and Project Looking Glass explored time dilation. Information was provided to Lazar in blue folders detailing crafts from another star system and a US government program to reverse engineer the technology.

S4 contained nine hangars, each housing a craft. Lazar worked on a sport model flying saucer in the main hangar and observed a Jello mold-shaped craft and a top hat-shaped craft in adjacent hangars. The main hallway within the facility was described as almost infinite in length.

The project used detailed satellite data, including from Russia, and reconstructed the landscape and topology accurately, correcting inaccuracies in modern mapping data. The team meticulously recreated the S4 facility within the accurate terrain, determining its exact length and enclosure.

Recreated areas include a nurse station, briefing room with classified documents, the propulsion lab where Lazar worked, and the hangars. The sport model, Jello mold, and top hat crafts were recreated in detail based on Lazar’s memory, while others incorporated creative liberties. Every detail, from tools to generators, was researched for accuracy to create a realistic depiction of the reverse engineering program.

The project will be presented first as a documentary film, then as a virtual reality experience allowing viewers to explore the interior of S4.
