Oppenheimer-Einstein Report

1947

A purported June 1947 document attributed to Oppenheimer and Einstein, claiming UFOs were already accepted by the military as extraterrestrial and coining the term "Extraterrestrial Biological Entities." No verified original document, chain of custody, or archival record has ever surfaced; it is regarded by mainstream historians and most UFO researchers alike as a fabrication.
