Wilbert Smith's Top Secret memo (21 November 1950)
A Top Secret memo by Canadian radio engineer Wilbert Smith, written after inquiries in Washington in 1950, which says flying saucers exist and are studied in the highest secrecy by a small group under Vannevar Bush. It surfaced in Canadian files in 1978 and is one of the few government documents from the period that states this outright. Robert Sarbacher, Smith's US contact, later added von Neumann and Oppenheimer to the group.
