Liberation Times documented Congressional confrontation with Lockheed Martin over alleged UAP legacy programs in the period preceding the July 2023 Congressional hearings. The Wilson-Davis memo — a document describing a meeting between Admiral Thomas Wilson and physicist Eric Davis in 2002 — explicitly names a Lockheed Special Projects division as holding a crash retrieval program. Lockheed has never publicly responded to the allegation.
The Wilson-Davis Memo
The Wilson-Davis memo documents a 2002 meeting at EG&G Special Technologies in Las Vegas between retired DIA Director Vice Admiral Thomas Wilson and Princeton physicist Eric Davis. According to the memo, Wilson attempted to access a Lockheed-held UAP program through official channels. The program manager he spoke with told Wilson he was on a “need to know” list — but his access was subsequently denied by a “special group” that overrode Wilson’s authority as a three-star admiral. Wilson reportedly told Davis: “I was angry. I was mad as hell.”
Congressional Pressure
In the lead-up to the 2023 hearings, Congressional staff attempted to get Lockheed Martin to respond to Wilson-Davis memo allegations in briefings. Lockheed declined. No Lockheed representative testified at any UAP hearing. The company’s legal and communications teams have maintained a consistent policy of no comment on the legacy program allegations.
Lockheed’s own website contains the phrase: “Some of our most important work isn’t in the headlines — by design.” Ben Rich, the second director of the Skunk Works, reportedly stated before his death: “The UFO problem is in the hands of Special Projects.” Rich died in 1995.
