Who they are
Erwin Schrödinger developed a wave-based mathematical treatment of atomic energy levels. His first 1926 paper cast the hydrogen problem in terms of allowed eigenvalues and acknowledged ideas from Louis de Broglie and mathematical help from Hermann Weyl. It was a major calculational contribution within the wider development of quantum mechanics.
He connects the timeline to the formation of quantum theory, not to a documented UAP investigation.

Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem (Erste Mitteilung)
Schrödinger treats atomic energy levels as an eigenvalue problem and works through nonrelativistic hydrogen. The inspected sections show the wave-mechanical approach and its acknowledged antecedents.
Original German first communication; manuscript received January 27, 1926. This is not the entire later series.
