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.

9. Then their major purpose is for their own scientific knowledge?.

4. That's true.

2. Are they all friendly?

A. Yes, very friendly, more so than any people on earth. People on earth pretend to be friendly but they are not really friendly to each other as these people are, even to so-called strangers.

2. What planets are they coming from?

4. Well the ones that I have contacted are from Mars, Venus and Saturn, although I have reports here from Neptune and Uranus as well. That means five planets of our system.

Q. Have you had any reports from planets from other systems?

A. No, I have not, but that does not mean they are not coming, because lodestar 359 has been checked for years now for its code system which is supposed to be coming from there, whether it has been deciphered or not or what over has been learned about it has not been released, and the United States Navy has a big instrument on its building in Washington for that purpose and has had it for years.

Q. Are the people from the different planets different from each other?

A. No, they are not, no more than the people are different from each other among the nations in our own world.

9. There have been several reports in the last few years of personal contact. When was the last time that the people in planets contacted the earth like they are now?

A. According to some records it is round 2,000 years ago, when they made contact with people on earth by landing, and since then they have been observing the earth steadily but not landing until recently, and according to the information I have received from them they said we have not developed very much, because we were killing men then and we are still killing men.

Q. Well is this the fulfilling of Prophecies would you say?

A. I would say it is because in the Bible it tells you that Angel men the Son. of God, or something of that nature would be coming forth from heaven to earth in due time and the proper time, and this would seem to be the situation.

Q. Well, since their purpose for coming is scientific, they are definitely not coming to save us, but can they help us in any way?

A. They are not coming to save anybody, no one can save anyone, each one must save himself if there be any saving, but they are here and will help us if we desire that help. That is no different than if a man is hungry you set the table then he must do the eating if he is going to fulfil his hunger, and the same thing they can do, they can give us information and we can take them or leave them, and if we take them we can better our conditions.

9. There have been reports of crashes between earth planes and some of these air planetary craft. Was this deliberate on the part of the space people?

A. It was not. Never deliberate on their part, but our aggression and our own so called egotism caused these accidents, which could be called accidents and nothing more, besides we are very poorly alerted, or you might say very poorly informed in reference to what kind of power they use in all, and we sometimes come a little bit close or too close to the so called force field that is always round their ships and once that happens we have the accidents.

2. If their ships crash on the earth or if they are shot at as has been reported, do they have any way of protecting themselves?

A. No they do not, although they could. Although it is possible that they could harness this magnetic ray and shoot it out towards us and stop us in our tracks. But this is something they won't do. They claim that they have no right, I asked them about that, and they said they have no right to take revenge for a lack of understanding or ignorance.

Q. Do they have any television or things like that in their ships?

A. Yes they do have something like television, not exactly like the television we have, but similar to that, that registers any and every condition of vibration or frequency that they want to detect on earth, including my speaking right now could be picked up by them, as well as their learning languages if they do not happen to know a language, they learn it that way. For an example: If I asked you to bring forward a chair I must have a picture of that chair in my mind then say the word commanding you, and then you proceed to act, and they get all of that and keep repeating till they know what it means.
