Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wilbert Brockhouse Smith (1910 in Lethbridge, Alberta ? December 27, 1962) was a Canadian electrical engineer, radio engineer, ufologist and contactee. A longtime employee of the Canadian Department of Transport (DOT), Smith also led the small Canadian UFO research called Project Magnet from 1952 until it was formally discontinued in 1954; Smith afterwards funded Magnet until his death in 1962. Jerome Clark describes Smith as "one of the most curious figures in UFO history, occupying a role no one had ever filled before and no one is likely to fill again." In 1933, Smith earned a B. Sc. in electrical engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1933, where he also earned his M. A. Sc. in 1934. He afterwards worked as engineer at several commercial radio stations before co-founding the Canadian Association of Broadcast Consultants. In 1939, he was hired by the DOT, which then oversaw Canadian radio stations. Another notable achievement was the 1947 establishment of stations to measure the ionosphere.
