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.

(c. That the recent increasing mention and reference to Interplanetary Traval in a wide range of literature is part of an organized programme to prepare the peoples of the World for such revelations mentioned above.

(d) That although a number of planets may be involved, Mars is the most suspect-------(as before mentioned, (I) page 2.)

In the light of past and present evidence and the greater than ever activity expected of the future, the most successful example of security or hide and seek in the annals of earth history, must soon break for all to see.

## End of Extract.

There is no doubt that the answer when revealed in full will be sensational to say the least; the near future promises tremendous possibilities for man. Responsible Governments have a mighty problem on their minds, more mighty than who has the greatest stockpile of Hydrogen or Cobalt bombs. We have fought and struggled for centuries for aims aggressive and peaceful. Since World War I, the "League of Nations" and now as a result of World War II the "United Nations Organization," we claim to struggle only for peace, our efforts have not been very successful to date.

Will the arrival of interplanetary authority prevent a third World War. What else could equal such a powerful sobering effect as the above realization, on the peoples of this planet; what else would give them more cause to pull together and forget they ever had differences; I know of one other force greater.

The evidence to support interplanetary visits must by now be absolute. There is much that has been successfully screened from public knowledge

Everything points to an early removal of this screen,

What are the incredible facts ???

## C.S.I. REPRESENTATIVES

Two further representatives have been appointed in two southern cities, Christchurch and Dunedin. Representatives are appointed from those "Honorary Observers" who have shown much enthusiasm and been of valuable assistance to our research. We would like you to meet Mrs E.E.Hamber 19A Ranfurly Street, St Albans Christchurch, C.S.I. CH.CH. Rep.

Miss. V.E.J.Allan, 527 Castle Street Dunedin N.I., C.S.I. DUNEDIN Rep. We advise subscribers to the Review or other interested parties in these areas to contact our Reps if you have information to Forward C.S.I.
