Part 3/9:
Born in 1910 in Lethbridge, Alberta, Smith graduated from the University of British Columbia in the early 1930s. His career advanced rapidly: from chief engineer at a radio station to a role at the Federal Department of Transport, where he supervised Canada’s wartime radio monitoring service. This position granted him access to classified information, which he would later leverage in his investigations into UFOs, emphasizing the phenomena's implications on geomagnetic study.
