NZDF declassified RNZAF UFO files

NZDF / RNZAF via Internet Archive · 2010-12 · 445 pages · text by OCR

This is a New Zealand Defence Force public release of RNZAF file AIR 39/3/3, "Flying Saucers," which covers 1952 to 1955 and was declassified in September 2010 under the Official Information Act. It collects sighting reports from the public and military personnel, press clippings, and a table of 1952 sightings. It also holds Carter Observatory opinions attributing some reports to meteors. A large part covers the inquiry into lights seen from National Airways Corporation Flight 108 on 31 October 1955, which the RNZAF could not fully explain as Venus.

présentent soit sous la forme d'alliages, soit sous la forme d'agrégats, soit encore comme un mélange d'alliages et d'agrégats. Elles sont presque toujours enrobées par une matière rocheuse ou calcaire.

Sous l'influence de la chaleur, des constituants peuvent atteindre leur point de fusion et même de volatilisation, provoquant une fissure de l'enveloppe. Ils se répandent alors dans l'air raréfié et glacé des haute altitudes. Un nuage se forme, se condense, une soucoupe apparaît qui flotte pendant quelque temps au gré des vents et se dissipe enfin sans laisser de traces.

On a observé la chute des météorites depuis les temps les plus reculés. Ce sont les Egyptiens qui, les premiers, en ont fait mention. On en trouve dans des hiéroglyphes de la 5ème à la 7ème dynastie, c'est-à-dire de 2750 à 2450 ans avant J.C. Ils les appelaient "Typhon", Dieu du mal et des ténèbres parce que leur chute amenait parfois des catastrophes.

Les chinois avaient tiré l'aiguille aimantée de ce fer d'origine céleste, il y a environ 46 siècles.

Les siècles s'ajoutaient aux siècles, les météorites gardaient toujours le secret de leur origine.

Le 26 Avril 1803, il en tomba deux mille de petite dimension dans un espace de 50 km. carrés, près de Laigle, en Normandie. Un membre de l'Institut, BIOT, fut chargé d'une enquête qui confirma l'origine extra-terrestre de ces fragments. C'étaient des pierres contenant dix pour cent d'un alliage de fer et de nickel.

Le poids des météorites varie dans de très larges propor tions. En 1869, il en tomba une au Mexique qui se sépara en 99 morceaux
