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.

The Hopkinsville incident broke AFTER THESE EVENTS AND NO TWO PARTIES KNEW EACH OTHER. But, if the Hopkinsville case is not sufficient evidence of VERDI SAPIENS EXTRATERRESTRIALIS being now amongst us on earth, we have still another case that erases any doubt in our mind. We cannot even hint as to the identity of these people, but we can say that it involved three persons holding crucial positions in the city. The incident occurred near Indianapolis, July, 1954. The encounter was enough to terrify these people and break up their planned vacation! But, we have more recent evidence and each story lends credence to the other for we have checked each person involved and got their personal account. On e case occurring near Stockton, Ga, on July 2nd, 1955, terrified Mrs. Margaret Symmonds who at the time was driving to Florida. The hour was 3.30 a.m. and in the back seat of the car her husband lay asleep. Suddenly Mrs. Symmonds jerked the car away to the side of the road, almost careening. She screamed, awakening her husband and drove away as fast as she could. To CRIFO, Mrs. Symmonds explains that she saw four little men glowing green. She said their eyes were huge and peircing, their faces dark. They wore some strange-looking garments like a "cape" and were carrying a rod that looked metallic in the reflection of the car's lights. "The did not move at first", she said, "but as the car approached, one moved one step backwards." They looked hideous, said Mrs. Symmonds. Her doubting husband wanter her to return to the scene, but Mrs. Symmonds said she was "too petrified". Mr. Symmonds admits that his wife was terrified by something and was awakened by the car spinning to the side of the road. The most recent "little men" episode occurred near Greenhills, August 25th, the same evening when the huge object was seen hovering over Fernald atomic plant. Four teenagers, interviewed by CRIFO told of their harrowing experience with a little green man, standing by some bushes. All were "certain2 as to what they had seen, explaining that the car's lights shown directly on the creature. They all agreed that the little man, about three or four feet tall, had large, bright "yellow" eyes, a dark face behind, and a sort of "shimmering greenish body". The creature wore an odd garment and they saw a "claw-like hand". One witness said that the biped took "three steps forward toward the car", but no one waited to see what would happen. The driver of the car, Bill Wallace, 18 years of age, drove away in a state of terror. Without hesitation they informed the police department of their encounter and the area was later investigated, but nothing in the way of evidence was found. Wallace's mother, whom we later interviewed, claimed that her son had never been so frightened. He was shaking when he came home and "locked all the doors". One of the girls of the group became hysterical.
