Wilbert B. Smith.

Wilbert B. Smith was a senior Canadian Department of Transport radio engineer who in 1950 founded Project Magnet, an official study of geomagnetic phenomena and UFOs. He authored a 1950 "Top Secret" memo claiming UFOs were the most highly classified subject in the U.S. government, citing conversations attributed to American officials. He is a genuine named official; his memo is real, though its sensational claims rest on his interpretation of unverified sources.
