UFO Article (Blog): “Latest digitised RAAF UAS file”

By Keith Basterfield, 29 January 2016

(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,

New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“Introduction

One of the RAAF’s base level,  unusual aerial sightings files, which I found on RecordSearch earlier this month, has just been digitised for me. I am waiting for two others to be digitised.

It is National Archives of Australia file series A9755 control symbol 10, barcode 3533543. It’s status is ‘Open with exception.’ The file was formerly a Department of Defence file, simply titled ‘Unusual Aerial Sightings,’  number 5/113/AIR Part 10, held by number 82 bomber wing, Amberley RAAF base in Queensland. 

The digitised version has 39 pages, but there is a standard blue mask on the file indicating that 2.5 cms thickness of other documents are on the file, but outside the Archive Act. 

The only way to obtain these remaining papers is by submitting a request under the Freedom of Information Act to the Department of Defence. As this would cost around Aust$1,000 I am not going to do this. If any reader would like to go through this process, the Australian UFO community would be very grateful.”

UFO Article (Blog): “Project Newsprint – Stage 2 – Victoria – concludes”

By Keith Basterfield, 25 January 2016

(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“Stage one

Project Newsprint commenced in September 2015. Its main aim is to seek any previously unknown, past or current sightings, from remote and regional Australia, outside of the capital cities, by forwarding letters to the editors of newspapers. 

Stage one was conducted in Western Australia, and the final stage one report may be read here. Some fascinating, older close encounter cases came to light.

Stage two

The second state in which I chose to run Project Newsprint, was Victoria. I submitted 100 plus emails directly to the editors of rural and regional newspapers, plus posted on their respective newspaper run Facebook pages. I advised that I was collecting sightings from their local area and that I would like to hear from readers about their experiences.

Detailed articles about the Project were carried by a number of papers, including the Mildura ‘Sunraysia Daily’;  (two articles) the ‘Swan Hill Guardian’; the ‘Wangaratta Chronicle’; the ‘Mansfield Courier’ and the ‘Gippsland Times.’ ”

UFO Article (Blog): “Three more vehicular close encounters from Victoria”

By Keith Basterfield, 22 January 2016

(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,

New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“I have now found out details about three more close encounter cases from Victoria, which involved objects approaching motor vehicles travelling along the road.

Following the appearance of a piece about Project Newsprint, in a recent issue of the ‘Gippsland Times’  I received a telephone call from a man, who told me about yet another close encounter.

UFO Research NSW Inc. received a fascinating report on 27 April 2015 from a 71 year old man from Coongulla, Victoria to advise them about a personal experience.

An Internet search located the third case, from a copy of the ‘South Gippsland Sentinel Times’ dated 18 February 2014. This was an article titled ‘Close Encounters of the South Gippy Kind.’ ”

UFO Article (Blog): “Another Australian government Valentich file emerges.”

By Keith Basterfield, 21 January 2016

(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,

New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“On 28 June 2012 I wrote a blog piece about the discovery of two Australian government files relating to the disappearance, in 1978, of pilot Frederick Valentich, over Bass Strait, Australia.

Last year, in September, while randomly checking the National Archives of Australia’s RecordSearch database, I found a two part file which also relates to the disappearance.

The new file is NAA file series B638, control symbol M116/783/1047 parts 1 and part 2;  barcodes 10499635 and 10499636. Series B638 is comprised of 299 air safety, accident and incident files, where M stands for Melbourne.

I immediately requested that the files, whose status was ‘Not yet examined’ be examined. On 18 December 2015, I was advised that both parts of the file were now ‘open.’ I then submitted a request to have the file digitised, and paid the relevant fee.

The file, when ‘open’ is titled ‘Accident on C182L - Moorabbin Vic/King Island Tas - 21 October 1978. VH-DSJ [including multiple newspaper cuttings regarding incident folder contains two piles.]’ ”
