Will Miller
Commander Will Miller is a retired U.S. Navy officer who played a pivotal role in triggering Vice Admiral Thomas Wilson's 1997 investigation into unacknowledged special access programs related to UFO crash retrievals. Miller's letter to physicist Eric Davis and Hal Puthoff offering contractual services for research into crash retrieval programs, and his arrangement of the 1997 Pentagon briefing that included Wilson, Edgar Mitchell, Steven Greer, and Dia Hughes, set in motion the events documented in the Wilson-Davis Memo.

Role in Wilson's 1997 Investigation
In 1997, Miller wrote to Eric Davis and Hal Puthoff offering his contractual services for research into UFO crash retrieval programs within and outside the United States government. In his letter, Miller claimed to have:
- Knowledge of specifics on a special team and two key officers focused on crash retrievals (possibly projects code-named Moon Dust, Blue Fly, or Zodiac)
- The name and location of a senior officer with firsthand knowledge of U.S. government alien reproduction vehicles (ARVs)
- A list of civilian USG contractors with knowledge of USG work in "alien-derived technologies, crashes, landings, and associated events"
At Miller's request, a meeting was arranged in 1997 in a Pentagon conference room where Steven Greer briefed Admiral Wilson, Miller, Edgar Mitchell, and Dia Hughes about UFOs, Roswell, and crashed UFOs. Miller confirmed this meeting occurred when interviewed by UFO researcher Joe Murgia. Following the conference, Miller and Wilson spoke privately, leaving Wilson intrigued enough to launch a 45-day investigation into special access programs.
Statements on the Wilson-Davis Memo
When interviewed by Joe Murgia about the Wilson-Davis memo, Miller skirted questions about his letter to Eric Davis, claiming he had no recollection of it or was unwilling to discuss it. However, Miller did confirm key elements of the 1997 events and provided detailed commentary on related concepts.
On bigot lists, Miller explained: "Bigot list from World War II, British invasion of German-occupied territory. Today it's just a list of SAP/USAP authorization individuals. Lists vary according to the program in question, the types of individuals needed to run the program, and how limited the access needs to be depending on the sensitivity of the program."
When asked about Wilson's statements suggesting openness to the existence of buried USAPs with no congressional oversight, Miller responded: "Concur, but I'm surprised he said to us that he found it impossible that such a program could not be kept secret for so many years. Strange since it's routine for such programs to persist unknown to most for years."
Beliefs on Recovered Craft
On the question of whether the U.S. possesses intact craft, Miller stated: "It's my firm belief that yes, we, the Russians, probably the Germans, and perhaps the Chinese have at least partial technologies and most likely for the US, entire operational craft. I believe that we have our own transluminal velocity craft that can take us anywhere in space and time. Did we develop this technology independently? Probably not."
