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.

This woman is familiar with all aircraft noises, said the noise made by whatever was above: her house was nothing she had ever heard before, and that it could be best duplicated by strumming slowly and irregularly on the lowest note of a string bass. This woman is reliable, not given to easy fright, nor to perpetrating hoaxes. We present her statement as it is, do not know what to make of it, but felt that it would be interesting to members. It has not been reported for fear of ridicule and, of course, has not been reported to Wright- Patterson, because no object was actually seen." ## X X X X X X X X X X X Another most interesting article has just been received via Airmail from the U.S.A. It appears in the November, 1954, American "Pageant" Magazine, and adds weight to my theory as to the origin of the mystery threads and real "Unidentified Flying Objects" in Earth's skies. This latter article will be reproduced at an early date. H.H. FULTON.
