Not the first it happened, the term of a bug in a computer is reputed to have started when Grace Hopper found a dead bug in the circuitry of a computer at Harvard in the late '40s. Her fame came as a Naval officer, retired as a Rear Admiral mid-80s. Heard lots of stories about her when I was active late '50-early '60s.

The last sentence of the article linked to at the head of this thread has a link for that....

Among the team who found the first-reported computer bug was computer-language pioneer Dr. Grace Hopper. She is often given credit for reporting the bug, but that is not true. She was, however, the person who likely made the incident famous.

Hopper, who earned a mathematics doctorate from Yale University in 1934, was one of the first computer programmers. Dr. Hopper invented the first English-language data-processing compiler, which laid the foundation for the development of machine-independent programming languages, like COBOL that she helped develop.

World’s First Computer Bug

On September 9, 1947, a team of computer scientists reported the world’s first computer bug—a moth trapped in their computer at Harvard University.
