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.

(Flying Saucers).. or that the explosions are a signal. We say this as after each blast a "saucer" (or "saucers") are observed. We believe that there are too many conflicting "solutions" to Flying Saucers by the authorities. If these objects are only imaginary or comets, meteorites, fire-balls, etc., then it would only be waste of time and money to set up huge investigation plans to study the mystery if none exists. We believe a planetary body is the cause (directly) of the Flying Saucers visiting the Earth. The last published report was that a planetary body was hurtling along directly toward Earth. This gives rise to our theory that the saucers are coming here to transport some of the more learned away to another world before the cosmic upheaval occurs. A further step in our theory is the American Saucer Investigators' report that two artificial satillites are circling the Earth; further that the report of a "bridge-like structure" on the moon. We feel that this structure is used as a launching ramp for (a) inter-planetary space ships, or (b) Earth-based rocket ships. The foregoing is the theory of who was assisted , Hamilton Flying Saucer Investigation Society. IIth July, 1954.
