Quote from the article:
“Introduction
Although the majority of UAP files held by the
National Archives of Australia (NAA), are sourced from the Royal Australian Air
Force (RAAF), there were a number of other Australian government departments
which held such files. These included the former Department of Civil Aviation;
the former Department of Supply and the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).
NAA file series PP956/1, control symbol; 45/38 titled
"Observations - General by outside authorities (includes UFO)." Its
date range is 1972-1981.
1. Reports of meteorological phenomena.
2. Reports of astronomical phenomena.
3. Reports of UAP.
4. Various miscellaneous pieces of correspondence.
I prepared a summary of UAP reports on this file in a post dated 29 March 2013 The file closed with the fact that papers after 1981 were on file 45/38 part
