"When they go up and down, as soon as it swivels, the pipe's not long enough for it to swivel at 90 degrees, it's gonna hit the top. It needs to extend down and swivel. And that piece inside is designed for it to do that. We had to make that, and that made sense to us. Of course. And we went, 'Oh my God, look at that. It makes sense, 'cause you need that extra to do that movement.'"
During 3D reconstruction of the S4 craft for the documentary, Venditelli discovered the waveguide pipe protrudes a foot inside the emitter to allow 90-degree swivel movement—a structural engineering detail Lazar never explicitly stated but confirmed when shown. The filmmaker argues this validates Lazar's account because it demonstrates knowledge of functional mechanical design constraints that wouldn't occur to someone fabricating a story, only someone who actually observed the system.
