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.

No different than our own for we must admit our earth is born of space, for if it is born of space it has got its chemicals of which it is composed out of space. The other planets born of the same space, and especially our own system, should not have reproduced anything different than this planet has, chemically speaking.

2. What do the people there eat?

A. They are mostly vegetarians, although if they come to your home and you have nothing but meat they will eat it, and they will also eat it on the planet if that should be a necessity.

Q. Do they raise stock there for food purposes like we do?

A. No,they do not.

Q. Would it be possible for people from other planets to come to earth land in a flying saucer and to get a job or work in some way here, live among us as our neighbours and friends without being recognised?

A. Yes it is very possible, in fact they could marry and no one would know the difference.

2. Can they read our thoughts?

A. Yes they can read our thoughts very well, although we are not well developed in that field but most of our salesmen and people dealing with people read other people, and knowing beforehand just what the reaction of individual will be, with whom they are dealing, and that is a part of that mental reading and they have developed it to a far greater extent than we do, therefore they are able to read us much easier.

A. Not at all.

9. Could we entertain them in our homes as friends, and feed them and such as that, and be comfortable with them?

2. Then if we met any of them we would have no difficulty in talking with them.

A. No different than we do our own friends now, in fact a lot more comfortable.

Q. How can we get to meet them?

A. Well that is a big question, I have been asked that a thousand times, and it seems that they choose their people somehow. And why I wouldn't know but they have picked up and made contacts with people from the lowest so called talent base of earth man to the highest, already. They seem to be picking up in all fields of endeavour and no one can ever tell who might be the next although you do not need such a great education for such a contact, but it is better if you have a broader view of life, as they could use you a lot better, in other words they could use you as a servant to spread the good news; but they do contact all phases. Their greatest and important part, that I might say, is necessary for an individual to be in, for the contact to be made is alert, to be alert; you don't have to concentrate, meditate or anything like that, but be alert. Let me illustrate this little bit this way. For instance two men walk into a place for a drink, they both get the same drink, and they have the drink, then they walk out of the place, and one man says (we will say this is Jim talking to Dick) "Say Jim, did you see that beautiful picture on the bar or did you see that beautiful mantlepiece hanging over in that one corner?" and Dick said "Hack! I haven't seen anything like that. When did you see it? I was in the same place and saw nothing". Proving that one man was alert, and saw everything that was in that room, while the other fellow was not. That is what I mean by alertness.

Q. Would it be wise to use a flashlight in trying to attract their attention or signal them?

A. It is dangerous, because after all they are not superhuman beings as some people try to make them out to be, they are too, wondering sometimes what we are going to do, and in cases like that you throw a beam of light against them and that beam could be something dangerous, so not knowing what might be in that beam they will throw a ray at you which will knock you down, which has been known to do and not to hurt you in anyway, but it does frighten you a little bit. For instance this case down here in what you call the Scout master you probably have heard about, when he started hatching the waves at their ship with a matchet Well supposing that matchet had stuck into the crown of the ship, he would have completed the circuit in this electrical machine and he would have been electrocuted, and it was lucky for him that each time he struck at the ship with the matchet a portion of it broke off and that made no contact
