Wilson–Davis meeting (Las Vegas, 16 October 2002)

What was reported. The notes, which surfaced in 2019 from the papers of Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, describe Wilson telling Davis that in 1997, prompted by Steven Greer's briefings, he traced a compartmented program run by an aerospace contractor, met its gatekeepers, was told the program was reverse-engineering a craft "not made by human hands", and was refused access despite his position. (FACT about the document; SPECULATION about the world.)

What followed. Wilson denied the meeting to journalists; Davis declined to discuss it publicly but has been reported as confirming the notes to colleagues. Congressional staff are reported to have taken interest after 2023. (FACT about the reports.)

What the corpus adds. The Edgar Mitchell episode places the meeting a year after a Utah event and describes Wilson, who oversaw military technology, expressing frustration at being denied access; the host links Wilson's 1997 inquiry to EG&G, the contractor that also employed Bob Lazar. (FACT about testimony; INFERENCE in the EG&G link.)

Explanations offered. A fabricated document, a genuine record of a meeting whose content was misremembered, or a genuine record of a genuine claim; the only participant who has spoken denies it. (INFERENCE.)
