“Latest digitised RAAF UAS file”
By Keith Basterfield, 29 January 2016
(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
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
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.”

Quote from the article:
“I have now found out details about three more close
encounter cases from Victoria
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
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.’ ”

“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.]’ ”
