Wilbert Smith Memo 1950 - The War Department Releases PURSUE 2026

Disclaimer: This post is shared purely as an analytical breakdown of documented historical records, public press conferences, official congressional testimonies, and recent US legislative changes. The connections drawn here are intended to foster critical thinking, open dialogue, and serious research within the community. I am simply sharing this perspective to encourage an alert and knowledgeable citizenry. Please always do your own research and stay balanced.

Hi everyone!

The reality is that 76 years ago, many countries already had the answers. It was only later that it moved completely outside of congressional oversight. Several U.S. presidents have asked for this information and were directly denied access due to valid concerns over the Cold War and global instability. However, since 2017 we have made immense progress, especially regarding the policies and laws surrounding UAPs and non human intelligence.

Question: I'm curious about your thoughts on NHI and nuclear weapons. Why do you think non human intelligence seems so focused on monitoring our nuclear bases? Do you think they are acting as a safeguard to prevent us from destroying ourselves in a nuclear exchange, or is there another motive entirely?

Please take a look at the post and the data whenever you have a moment. No pressure at all!

Introduction:

On November 21, 1950, Wilbert Smith (Transport Canada) filed a classified memo regarding Project Magnet. It stated clearly that the US government considered the UFO phenomenon to be:

a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb.

b. Flying saucers exist.

c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Dr. Vannevar Bush.

It is one of the most significant documents in UFO history because It is an official Canadian government record.

The pattern from 1950 to 2026:

• 1953 Robertson Panel. Instead of letting public hysteria run wild after the 1952 Washington D.C. flyovers, the CIA's scientific advisors recommended a structured public education program to demystify the topic. It’s a very positive piece of the puzzle because it proves that managing the information flow was always about maintaining societal stability while the global community caught up to the science. It was an early initiative designed to keep the communication channels clear during the heights of the Cold War era. Source: REPORT OF MEETINGS OF SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL ON UFOs

• 2001 The Disclosure Project Press Club Event: Dr. Steven Greer brings forward over 20 military, intelligence, and corporate witnesses at the National Press Club. They testify under oath about unconstitutional security restrictions, reverse engineering programs, and objects hovering over nuclear sites, echoing exactly what was kept hidden since 1950.

• 2023 David Grusch claimed that this specific information has been illegally withheld for decades. The Wilbert Smith memo proves that the core information hasn't changed in 76 years. The only thing that changed is our willingness to accept it. Source: David Grusch Highlights From Congressional UAP UFO Hearing 7.26.23
• 2024 The "Non Human" Precedent: The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 is signed into law. Crucially, it mandates the creation of the "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection" at the National Archives. The law explicitly requires the collection of records relating to technologies of unknown origin and non human intelligence, marking the first time these specific terms were codified in federal statute for records preservation.

• 2025 The Disclosure Act Revival: Following the blocking of the original Schumer-Rounds amendment, the "UAP Disclosure Act of 2025" is reintroduced. This legislation fights to restore the eminent domain clauses, seeking to reclaim non human biological evidence and craft from private aerospace contractors. It establishes a presumption of immediate disclosure for all government UAP records. Source: H.R.1187 - 119th Congress (2025-2026)
• 2026 Project PURSUE & The War Department Releases: In a historic shift, the newly rebranded Department of War (formerly DoD) executes the PURSUE directive (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters). On May 8, 2026, the first tranche of previously classified files, videos, and photos is released to the public on the new dedicated portal. Source: https://www.war.gov/UFO/

Here are 10 pieces of historical evidence that paint a clear picture of non human intelligence visiting our planet.

Why this matters now:

The Wilbert Smith memo proves that the classification of this information was established over 76 years ago. The only thing that has changed is our willingness to accept it.

Explanation:

The UAP subject held the highest possible security classification on the planet across all nations, with no exceptions. For this reason, intelligence agencies were specifically designed to strictly control the flow of this information. This is exactly why the mainstream media and the scientific community couldn't openly discuss it in the past. However, everything changed with the 2017 New York Times article, when the Pentagon gave the green light and disclosed the information regarding its UFO study under AATIP. Since then, information has been coming out slowly through careful, authorized releases processed by DOPSR and the Department of Defense, backed by full presidential support for the first time in history.

To understand why the broader government was kept in the dark, you have to look back at how the phenomenon was systematically moved from military hands into the private sector. It ultimately comes down to geopolitical stability: the technology was far too advanced to safely release to the public while severe tensions between global superpowers still existed, so it had to be handled with extreme caution and responsibility. The general public essentially had to be educated over time through science, books, movies, and docseries just to reach a baseline level of understanding regarding life in the universe. Only then could this information be released globally. The United States is currently leading the way in this effort, and other countries are slowly catching up.

I actually read about these exact details in Philip Corso's book, The Day After Roswell, which was intended as a positive message for the younger generations.
