Organization
Lockheed Martin
Also known as Lockheed, Skunk Works
Lockheed Martin is the largest U.S. defence contractor; its Skunk Works division built secret aircraft such as the U-2 and SR-71.
In this archive it is named in allegations, not confirmed by any official record, that it holds retrieved UAP material: in the unverified Wilson–Davis notes, in claims about an alleged plan to transfer a recovered craft to Bigelow Aerospace during AAWSAP, and in remarks attributed to its former vice-president James Ryder. AARO's 2024 historical review reported that executives of the companies named by interviewees met its director and denied such claims on the record.
