Edward Teller

Edward Teller (1908-2003) was a Hungarian-American theoretical physicist, known as the 'father of the hydrogen bomb.' Born in Budapest, he emigrated to the US in the 1930s, becoming a US citizen in 1941. He contributed to the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, working on the atomic bomb with Oppenheimer and Fermi, and pioneered fusion weapon concepts. Teller advocated for the hydrogen bomb post-1949 Soviet test, co-developing the Teller-Ulam design tested in 1952. He founded and directed Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1958-1960), advancing nuclear defense including SLBM warheads. No direct involvement in UAP/UFO research, military UFO programs, or related fields is documented in available sources; his career focused on nuclear physics and weapons.
