Oke Shannon
LANL physicist and 1985 Advanced Theoretical Physics Conference attendee; partial corroboration of Wilson-Davis memo
01 Executive_Summary
Oke Shannon is a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) who was one of three LANL physicists to attend the 1985 Advanced Theoretical Physics Conference (ATPC) organized by John Alexander at BDM Corporation's secure facility in McLean, Virginia. Shannon provides partial corroboration for the Wilson-Davis memo — the 15-page document by Eric Davis documenting an alleged October 16, 2002 meeting with VADM Thomas R. Wilson (recently retired DIA Director) about classified UAP-related programs. While Wilson 'repeatedly and categorically denied' the account as 'pure fiction,' Shannon's partial corroboration adds weight to aspects of the narrative.
03 Deep_Dive_Intelligence
Intelligence Summary: Oke Shannon
Node Identity: Oke Shannon is a LANL physicist who connects the 1985 Advanced Theoretical Physics Conference (ATPC) to the Wilson-Davis memo controversy. His partial corroboration of the Wilson-Davis account provides independent support for aspects of the narrative.
Key Involvements:
- 1985 Advanced Theoretical Physics Conference (ATPC) attendee
- Wilson-Davis memo partial corroboration
- Eric Davis's 15-page document of alleged Oct 16, 2002 meeting with VADM Thomas Wilson
- Wilson denied the account as 'pure fiction'
- Shannon provided partial corroboration for aspects of the narrative
Evidence Calibration:
- ESTABLISHED: LANL physicist role, ATPC attendance (1985)
- ESTABLISHED: Partial corroboration of Wilson-Davis memo
- DISPUTED: Wilson-Davis memo overall accuracy (Wilson denied; Shannon partially corroborated)
04 Network_Linkage
Oke Shannon connects LANL to the 1985 ATPC (via John Alexander) and to the Wilson-Davis memo controversy (via Eric Davis). His partial corroboration is significant because it provides independent support from a LANL physicist for aspects of a document that the primary subject (VADM Wilson) denied.
