Eric Davis

“In 1996, Dr Eric Davis was on secondment from the University of Maryland, at a US Air Force fighter wing in South Korea, when he read an intriguing ad in a physics magazine seeking to hire research scientists interested in studying the 'foundations of spacetime, the universe and the physics of consciousness'. Davis started working for Bob Bigelow's National Institute for Discovery Science in July 1996.”

“everyone else who worked with and supported AAWSAP/AATIP, especially Dr. Hal Puthoff, Dr. Eric Davis”

“The only contractors who would remain involved with Jay and me were Hal, Will Livingston, and Eric Davis.”

“They each had legendary careers operating behind the scenes on our nation's most classified programs. Over the previous decades, they explored some of humanity's greatest mysteries for our government. They knew information that less than 0.01 percent of the human population knew.”

“They were essential to our understanding of how UAPs operate.”

“'On the second trip there in September I saw a craft out through the kitchen window,' he said. 'And it descended, and it was still illuminated in front of the background mountain range, which was probably another 30 miles west.'”

“Later that year, in November, he was sitting with fellow scientist Colm Kelleher on the ranch-house's back porch and a similarly lit craft hurtled out from above a nearby bluff and executed a sharp high-speed 90-degree turn right above them.”

“they all saw a huge creature suddenly jump down just in front of them; it was far larger than any wildcat, the size of a bear or a cow. Terry fired multiple shots into it with his rifle at point-blank range but Davis recalls, 'It didn't flinch. And it just walked off into the shrubs and disappeared.'”

“In recent years he has become best known in UAP circles as the alleged author of the legendary Wilson/Davis memo.”

“In his memo, Davis claims to have met the recently retired Director of the US Defence Intelligence Agency, Vice Admiral Thomas Wilson, on 16 October 2002, in a car parked in the carpark of a corporate office building in Las Vegas.”

“Eric Davis Notes, 'EWD Notes – Eric Davis Meeting with Adm Wilson', 16 October 2002, p. 6. Edgar Mitchell Archive.”

“'And Wilson was one of the joint chiefs of staff interviewed by my senior scientist colleague Eric Davis. Since it discusses potentially ongoing programs, I have no comment.'”

“'The Dr Eric Davis memo contains somewhat detailed accounts of alleged efforts by me to get access to Special Access Programs . . . and of meetings I supposedly had with various contractors or Special Access Program managers/overseers. I participated in no such meetings on these subjects. I never formally or informally requested any such access, was never denied such access and was never threatened to have my career "derailed" if I persisted,'”

“'purportedly classified information. I'm not at liberty to confirm or verify any aspect of those notes and when you have security clearances that's something you don't want to violate'”

“He then surfaced in July 2020 in an interview with The New York Times ... where he admitted that the US held recovered physical UAP samples. He said examination of the materials had so far failed to determine their source and led him to conclude, 'We couldn't make it ourselves.'”

“He also told the Times that he had given a classified briefing to a Defence Department agency three months earlier in March 2020 about retrievals from 'off-world vehicles not made on this earth'.”

“'Luis Elizondo's very brief answer to Tucker Carlson's question about whether the US government is in possession of recovered, crashed and landed UFO technology hardware is 1,000% accurate. My national security NDAs prevent me from adding any further comment on this.'”

“he went on to brief DoD agencies and staff members from both the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on this very topic as well.”

“'the take on it is that it's a legitimate UFO . . . this is not a technology that is made on Earth by humans, anywhere. . . . we came to the conclusion that these are legitimate unidentified objects. They are anomalous. They are real vehicles. They are under intelligent control and they are an advanced technology.'”

“'And we got to do something about them because they are interfering with military deployments in the ocean and they have interfered with air force deployments in the atmosphere wherever the air force is flying their planes,' he said.”

“In a 2018 radio interview with George Knapp on Coast to Coast AM, Davis said, 'The Threat in AATIP refers to the fact that the UFO phenomenon has interfered with operations. The phenomenon was officially branded a threat, and the threat had to be studied.'”

“'If you're going to throw your bets on Roswell, your bet is really good,' he said.”

“it was intriguing to hear Dr Davis citing one of those other claimed extra-terrestrial spacecraft crashes in his interview with George Knapp – the 5 December 1950 case known as Del Rio, which allegedly involved a crashed craft near the town of Del Rio, Texas, that was subsequently recovered by the US Air Force.”

“how UAPs used mimicry techniques to hide their form, 'entering the atmosphere with either the look or trajectory of a meteor or hidden within a meteor shower, behaving like dark meteors without the associated optical signature, hiding within an artificial or natural cloud, behaving as pseudo-stars sitting stationary over certain regions, or mimicking man-made aircrafts' aggregate features'”

“He was then was hired in December 2019 by the federally funded Aerospace Corporation.”
