Read the full account
Eric Davis is an astrophysicist who worked at Robert Bigelow's National Institute for Discovery Science, at EarthTech International with Hal Puthoff, and as a contractor on the Defense Intelligence Agency's AAWSAP programme, for which he wrote reference documents on warp drives and wormholes. He is widely identified as the author of the fifteen-page 'Wilson–Davis notes', dated 2002, which record a conversation in which Admiral Thomas Wilson is said to have described being denied access to a special-access programme holding recovered craft.
The notes surfaced in 2019 in the papers of the Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Wilson has denied the meeting took place; Davis has declined to confirm or deny authorship in public while speaking about the subject in general terms. In 2020 the New York Times reported that Davis had briefed Pentagon and congressional staff on retrievals of 'off-world vehicles not made on this earth'. No document has been released that corroborates the notes' content.
The corpus interviews Davis once, in an episode on a president being briefed on UFOs, and refers to him in many others. He is one of the most frequently mentioned scientists in the material, usually in connection with the notes, Skinwalker Ranch and Grusch. The knowledge base records the existence of the notes as documented, their provenance and content as contested, and Davis's own statements as testimony.
