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.

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.

it was not a conventional type nor did it conform to present day standards of powered flight. You are certain that it was a solid craft of some sort.

(2) Someone who you can personally vouch for has soon, a member of your kin, a life-long friend, a respected personality.

(3) The ever increasing number of witnesses to the flight of strange craft or suspect objects.

(4) The consistency and frequency of reports that have originated from all corners of the world within last five years.

(5) Just as you have let the matter drop into displacement, you are jolted back to renewed interest and confusion on reading of still another inexplicable incident of recent happening such as Captain Jones, Chief Pilot, Australian National Airways. (See Australia Sightings).

(6) One after the other has come all manner of scientific explanations to explain away Flying Saucers. Each author in turn offered the Coup de grace absolute but the Saucers continue to show up and refuse to be classified non-existent.

(7) Your awareness of what has been accomplished in all fields of human achievement in the last fifty years. Truly, you may consider the words "impossible" "fantastic" as obsesesent antiquated meaningless terms.

## HARILTON FLYING SAUCER INVESTIGATION SOCIETY.

H.F.S.I.S. was formed on April, 21st 1953. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting the President Mr. F.J.M.Clark and Hon.Sec. Mr. J.E.Stuart, at Mr. Stuart's home in Hamilton. A very pleasurable afternoon was spent and much discussions on the subject of Saucers and their Society's intentions eventuated. Two members, Mr. Stuart and Miss Jolly are Honorary Observers to C.S.I.

Congratulations Hamilton! Your plans are most creditable, we wish you every success.
