Quote from the article:
“Some of you will be aware that in 1994 the Royal
Australian Air Force’s (RAAF) official policy of accepting and investigating
UFO sightings, or ‘Unusual Aerial Sightings’ (UAS) as they called them, was
massively downgraded to almost nothing at all. I knew there would be a paper
trail (beyond what was already released years ago) which hadn’t been appraised
before. In September, 2015, using the powerful Freedom of Information (FOI)
Act, I submitted a detailed request to the Department of Defence (DoD) for any
material that “went into” this policy downgrade. They issued me, at some cost,
42 pages of never-before-seen administrative records from that era. This is the
third and final Part of this series. For those who wish to start from the
beginning, have a look at Part 1 and Part 2.
Beyond what I have highlighted previously, there are
some more records that are of some interest. A 3 page ‘Message Form’ dated 24th
December, 1993 was sent to six ‘Air Indicator Groups’ (AIG). An AIG is a list
of preset destinations for internal message routing. This particular message
was titled ‘Unusual Aerial Sightings: Revised Policy’ and had a file reference
138/93/DGPP. DGPP stands for Director General of Plans and Policy. The author
was Air Commodore S. T. James who was DGPP for the RAAF in 1993 and 1994.”
