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.

246 Stafford Street, TIMARU, N.Z. The following is a copy of a tape recording received from America of answers given by Mr. George Adamski on 16th of June, 1955. This is in answer to the many questions sent him by F.W.G. Dickeson and D.R. Weeber of the above group. We trust this will enlighten many of you people who are searching for the truth on the mysteries of Flying Saucers. Our aim is to give you this truth as we know it. "This is June 16th, 1955, and George Adamski speaking. I have a list of questions that have been sent to me and I will answer these so as to make clear some of the things that are puzzling the public, and Lucy McGuinness, my secretary, will be asking the questions and I will answer them. Q. Are the flying saucers solid? A. Yes they are solid, just as solid as anything in this world is, just as solid as our planes are. Q. Have you ever been in one? A. Yes, I have been in them. Q. What are they made of? A. They are made of material just like material of our own; most of the analysis that has come through shows much aluminium and so forth. There are other minerals I have been informed; that are not found on this earth, but that does not mean they are not here. Q. What do they use for power? A. Well, for power, it is commonly known to all men of the world as static electricity, the same thing that produces our lightning, this is harnessed up and put into propulsive states later known as a magnetic kind of force or magnetic propulsion. Q. Are all of these saucers humanly controlled? A. All above twelve feet yes, twelve feet in diameter they are humanly controlled, anything below the twelve feet is not. Q. What is the purpose of those under the twelve feet? A. Those under twelve feet are instrument type of saucers, they are sent out to measure atmospheric conditions, the chemical conditions within space, and so on and so forth and if they are finally lost or their remote control is lost then they sometimes disintegrate them in space and sometimes they blow up here and there, and people report explosions. Some have been found to come to earth in a jellylike form already disintegrating and by the time you pick up the jelly there is nothing but a bad odour left - the jelly is gone. Q Are there different types and styles of these saucers? Q. Are there different types and styles of these saucers? A. Yes, there are different types and styles, so to speak, and different sizes. They vary in various designs - there are seven different designs so far that have been detected. Q. Does that indicate the planet they are from or the purpose they are used for? A. No that does not indicate the planet they are from nor the purpose either. There just happen to be different desgins the same as we have many different designs in things. Q. What kind of instruments do they have? A. Well, all types of instruments. Every type of instrument that could be imagined, for the work they almost have to have it since they are travelling in space. There is so much more to be encountered and expected than we do in our own atmosphere. Q. Are they like ours in our planes? A. What do you mean like ours? 0. Well are there needles and compasses and such like? A. No, there are no needles or compasses like that, everything is a colour chart or colour graphs. 2. Sometimes these saucers or space ships are seen in different lights and sometimes they even seem to change colours as they are being observed, why is this? A. That is because of these different coloured graphs. As they go into operation they change colour, each colour means something, and the domes or canopies being transparent naturally reflect the colour to the outside from those graphs, and as the graphs change colour so does the outside change colour with them, as a reflection.
