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.

A. No they are not exactly right because as I stated before we have got proper instruments yet, which that will give us the exact truth and common sense tells us that if the rays of the sun coming our way will heat by opposing what they call pressure which is caused by friction that these rays do heat, it is common sense that we too, going out from here, may strike in this way a certain amount

of heat. This is going to be created through friction opposing the atmosphere and we have no way of knowing just what that percentage would be, how would we know exact temperature then anywhere else?

Q. Do the people of the other planets worship the same God as we do on earth?

A. Well they don't call it God as we do any more than they call the planets Venus, Mars and so forth as we do. They name their planets by orbits, only, which is the logical thing to do because that would be universal, and so it is true with their word for the name of God, instead of using the word God they say Supreme. Being of the Universe or Supreme Intelligence of the Universe which is even broader than the word God.

Q. Do they have a Sabbath day that they observe?

A. A Sabbath day to them is every day because every day is a holy day of the Supreme Being and perpetuated by the Supreme Intelligence of the Universe And that being holy they consider all things holy.

Q. Do they have everlasting life or are they born and do they die?

A. They have everlasting life when it comes to life, but forms must change and therefore in speaking of forms dying they do not actually die but there is transformation of going back to the true essence from which they came while the intelligence that occupied that form goes on to the next person and takes on another form, which in this world we call death they only call it transmutation.

9. What is the average span of life there on the other planets?

Q. What is the average span of life there on the other planet?

A. The average span of life on planet Venus for example is a thousand years or so, although that should not be a mystery because the bible tells you that when the firmament was over the earth that there was a thousand years life here as well and that Methusala had lived to 999 years.

Q. What is their mode of living, do they have cities and country life and rural districts like we have?

A. The mode of living is not much different from our own. They are human beings like we are. Once we get that into our heads the mystery will begin to vanish, but they are human being like ourselves, and they have very much the problems in some things that we have. For instance they have the problem of having to wash their faces and keeping their bodies clean, and things like that, except that they have solved the economic problem far better than we have, where the worries and tensions that we have to go through are no longer prevailing.

2. Do they work for a living?

A. Well they have been one time, but they have harnessed all the powers that we are harnessing, they harnessed it for construction to produce or do their work for them, and so as a result of it they do very little work about 2 hours out of every 24 hours of our time.

B. But they have a home life like we do?

0. Do they have an educational system?

4. Absolutely, in every respect.

Q. Do they have an educational system.

A. Yes, on a universal basis, in other words every child is given equal education according to his talent, what he is adapted for. Full support to the development of that talent as it realises that it renders a service to the whole that the whole could not operate without it either.

Q. Well does that educational system cease after so many years?

A. No it doesn't. They keep on learning, that is the way they move on from planet to planet as we would from class-room to class-room, for graduation which is never attained because eternity is eternity.

Q. Do they have churches and school houses and such as that?

Q. Do they have churches and schools. They do not have them in the same sense that we have, but their churches or school houses are one and the same thing. Put it that way because they learn the universal laws which are also of their Creator and that of man as a unit combination, no division.

Q. Have they birds and animals and fish and flowers?
