NZDF declassified RNZAF UFO files

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

Abelard-Schuman, Inc., New York Publishers, have just released George Adamski's latest Saucer aircraft work, "Inside The Space Ships". (£3.50.)

Saucer fans will welcome this new Adamski book as the container of further evidence of the existence of Flying Saucers and aerial cigars, of additional proof that these craft are not of this earth, and of incontrovertible facts pointing to human beings as operators of flying discs and airborne cylinders.

Adamski critics, equally clamerous in their remarks, will again attempt to discredit the Saucer author, labelling him as a "charlatan" and "fabricator" of incredible tales.

The ultra-conservative elements will continue to remain comparatively quiet, preferring to caution their friends that "it is better to wait and see."

## TALKS WITH AUTHOR:

The last time this reviewer met and conversed with Mr. Adamski, who lives hard by Mt. Palomar's 200-inch telescope (the "Big Eye") the latter said that he had no fewer than a dozen separate contacts with men and women from Venus, Mars and Saturn - "all beautiful creatures and possessors of superior minds."

"Inside The Space Ships" is a simple book to read. Direct quotes appear on nearly every page. But these do not cause loss of reader interest. On the contrary, the reader is prompted to continue his reading of the exoiting messages. According to the author, he flies in both small and large space ships. He identifies his principal hosts and hostesses aboard these craft as: Orthon the Venusian, Firkon the Martian and Ramu the Saturnian - all male pilots. Ilmuth, a Martian co-pilot, and Kalna, a Venusian co-pilot (all large space ships have women as co-pilots), as the "Great Master", an elderly Venusian sage.

It is the "Great Master", writes author Adamski, who briefs him on the whence, why, and wherefore of spacemen's visits to Planet Earth. "Space visitors come not to conquer us, but to help us, in a rather indirect way, to establish peace on our chaotic orb." "Nowhere," says the Californian, "did I see anything that even faintly resembled a weapon of destruction," for space creatures "would allow themselves to be destroyed rather than to slay a fellow being."

## 12 PLANETS:

It is Mr. Adamski's contention that ours is the least developed scientifically and spiritually, of the 12 planets (not the traditional nine planets) which revolve around our sun. The author has held that our earth has two, and possibly three, moons. "Our visible moon," says Adamski, is inhabited by earth-resembling human beings and is used by both Martians and Venusians as a last take-off base for our world.

The californian author claims that our extra-terrestrial neighbours who are believed to be ideal lovers of God and man, are far ahead of us, socially speaking. They have no wars. They share as a co-operative universal family the expense, man-hour construction and actual operation of their peace-bearing spaceships. MAN-MADE CRAFT:

The author contends that the Scout vehicles (the circular 23 foot diameter ships) and also the huge mother-craft are, in truth, artificial 'planets' which utilize natural electricity as a propulsive medium. He offers an analogy. Our earth is a natural spherical "craft" which speeds through space and around the sun at about 19 miles a second. It follows a prescribed path set for it by the laws of nature. The Saucer, on the other hand, is a man-made spherical craft which goes through space at terrific speeds. It follows arbitrary paths and is guided by human intelligence. No ill effects are suffered by us as we Earthians, practically
