The Wilson-Davis memo is a controversial 15-page document purportedly detailing a 2002 meeting between Vice Admiral Thomas Wilson (former DIA Director) and physicist Eric Davis. According to the notes, Wilson discovered a classified program within a defense contractor (allegedly Lockheed Martin) that was reverse-engineering recovered non-human technology. When Wilson demanded access, he was told he didn't have 'need to know' and was threatened with career consequences. The document surfaced publicly in 2019 from the archives of deceased Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Wilson has denied the meeting's claims. The memo was raised during the 2022 House Intelligence Committee UAP hearing and is called 'the UFO leak of the century' by historian Richard Dolan.
