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.

## NEWS OF PROFESSOR ADAMSKI

We are certain many of our readers will be most interested in late news of George Adanski. Dr.Benjamin D.Benincasa; an "Honorary Observer" of C.S.I., resident of Buffalo New York U.S.A., in a letter dated June 24th sends best wishes to all members and correspondents of C.S.I. New Zealand and the following news.

"Speaking of Professor Adamski, "I have had the pleasure of meeting him in Buffalo, have corresponded with him several times and recently talked to him on long distance telephone. Professor Adamski was born in Poland in 1891. He came to the States as a boy and lived in Dunkirk N.Y.; which is a short distance from Buffalo, he later moved to California. He is a pleasant conversationalist---not a braggart; in fact I should call him a humble man, who believes that one day he will have to face his maker the "Supernatural Judge". Adamski is working on another book on flying saucers, which will probably be published towards the close of this year. The new volume will give confirmatory information as to the materiality of the discs as well as on the humanity and spirituality of their pilots.

As you may have read in the British papers, Pro.,Adamski, who is the founder and director of California's "Adamski Interplanetary Research Foundation", lectured on 'Saucers' in Toronto, Canada on June I 1954. Prior his lecture I phoned him from Syracuse, New York., and asked him if I might inform you of some of the highlights of his forthcoming book. I am glad to tell you that I have received his permission to reveal to you and C.S.I. the following:---

(1) Professor Adanski has had several personal contacts with the Saucerians. The saucer people are hunane beings just like you and me. Some are tall others short, still others are of average height.

(3) He has spent more than 150 clock hours in the company of visiting planetarians.

(4) Our space visitors are accomplished linguists, and speak many terrestrial languages. Professor Adamski has conversed with one in his own native tongue, Polish.

(5) The tongue of the visiting planetarians sounds a good deal like"a mixture of Latin and some speech of the Orient.

(6) Professor Adamski has been in the interior of the scout ship and also visited the internal organs of the "mother craft".

(7) The smaller 35 foot-diameter scouts are discharged from a controlled opening in the belly of the mother ship, but are allowed to enter the later, through a controlled slot in the upper section of the bigger ship.

(8) On one occasion the Professor was a guest of the "Diskians" aboard their craft and met outer space travellers from Mars Venus and Saturn. Among the space visitors, he noted male pilots and female co-pilots.

(9) He explained that the women pilots' presence in the saucer craft was necessary because they are very intuitive and sense danger more quickly than men pilots

(IO Our air travellers from near and distant planets( a friendly group of people, indeed) are apprehensive over the dangers which we face in this uncertain age of Atom and Hydrogen bombs. They are afraid that we may destroy our kind upon this earth.

Finally says Dr, Benincasa, "What I have mentioned above may sound very fantastic, but Professor Adamski assures me that every word of it is true. When his new work comes out, you will find that he knows what he is talking about.

WE THANK YOU DR. BENINCASA.
