According to the US Naval Historical Centre (Go Navy!), the first computer bug was logged on September 9, 1945 at 15:45: ‘Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1945. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: ‘First actual case of bug being found.’ Note that the term ‘bug’ pre-dates computers by quite awhile.
