1998-01-01year known, day not recorded
Theoretical physicist and longtime UAP program subcontractor. Worked at NIDS under mentor Hal Puthoff, authored at least six AAWSAP-era Defense Intelligence Reference Documents on exotic propulsion, and wrote the 2002 "Wilson-Davis memo" describing an alleged Pentagon crash-retrieval briefing. Later worked at The Aerospace Corporation (2019-2024) and was one of roughly 40 witnesses in Grusch's whistleblower complaint.

The claim we testedMitchell received his Wilson-memo notesWhat the document actually saysEWD: Keep for private/personal research - data collection to track down the story ... Will keep mouth shut, etc. etc.EWD Notes - Eric Davis meeting with Adm. Wilson, 16 October 2002, 2002
printed p. 15 · read off the page footerWhy we refused it. THE MEMO SAYS THE OPPOSITE OF ONWARD TRANSMISSION. On its last page Davis records that he intends to keep the notes for private research and keep quiet. That Mitchell came to hold them is the central provenance claim about this document and it is not in the document. -
The claim we testedwrote Davis and Hal Puthoff (Apr 2002) offering to help research UFO crash retrievalsWhat the document actually says- not on any page read. Printed 15 records Davis asking whether Wilson would speak to Puthoff; it says nothing of an April 2002 letter.EWD Notes - Eric Davis meeting with Adm. Wilson, 16 October 2002, 2002

Knapp said publicly that the memo is not a hoax and accurately records a real 2002 meetingGeorge Knapp, Mystery Wire podcast, 19 June 2020, and a written statement to Joe Murgia; both reproduced at ufojoe.net, "Knapp: Wilson/Davis Is Not A Hoax". Read by this project only as a fetch-tool transcription of thatCaveat THREE THINGS A READER NEEDS AND THE OLD WORDING DID NOT GIVE. (1) SCOPE: Knapp vouches that the memo genuinely records a meeting that took place in Las Vegas in October 2002 - "It is not a hoax, not an exaggeration, not work of fiction or a screenplay." He does NOT vouch that the crash-retrieval programmes described inside the memo exist, and the old wording, "vouched for the memo's authenticity", let a reader take the second from a source that supports only the first. (2) THE OTHER SIDE, in the same broadcast: "Admiral Wilson denies it." The officer the memo is about denies the meeting happened. (3) SOURCE STRENGTH: this is the weakest grade this project recognises - a fetch tool's reading of a third party's blog, which reproduces a transcript and an email nobody else has published. No file is held and none is bound, so this link is not counted as sourced. The operator supplied an 8newsnow.com address for the same story; it returns HTTP 403 to this project's fetch tool and has not been read.scope: scoped
