Background

On 30 October 1967, an intriguing encounter happened near Boyup Brook, Western Australia.

The story broke in the Wednesday 1 November 1967 edition of ‘The West Australian’ newspaper. According to the newspaper, the sole witness reported the incident to a constable L Johnson of the Boyup Brook police station.

I had always wondered what happened to the police report of the event? No one I knew of, had ever seen it, or had a copy of it.  A couple of years ago, I thought that I might have located the report, when a Western Australian Police Department file, number 64/2885 was found, titled ‘Unidentified Flying Objects.’ However, the file contained only 56 pages, despite the file’s folio numbering system indicating that there had been 148 pages on the file. It turned out that there seemed to be missing folios, numbered 32-122, covering the years 1955-1969. So, no luck in locating papers dealing with a 1967 incident.

2017

Fast forward to mid-August this year, when US researcher and historian Barry Greenwood of Boston, visited the archives of the J Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, in Chicago. One of his aims was to search for Australian material, which had not been seen for years, if ever, by most Australian researchers. Barry located the long missing Western Australian Police Department report on the Boyup Brook incident. Many thanks to Barry for sharing this find with me.”

Quote from the article:
“Further to my earlier blog posts about Dr Michael J Duggin’s contribution to Australian UAP research, I have now located a summary of a 1971 talk he gave.

ANZAAS

On 30 October 1971, the South Australian Division of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science, held a one day symposium in Adelaide, South Australia, titled ‘The Unidentified Flying Object Problem.’

Courtesy of Peter Horne, of Adelaide, I now have a copy of the ‘Condensed Papers’ from the Symposium.

Dr Duggin presented a paper titled ‘The Analysis of UFO Reports.’ The ‘Condensed Papers’ only contain a summary of the talk, which I present below.”

Dr. Michael J. Duggin, an Australian scientist, was a member of the original ‘invisible college’ that studied UFOs and a senior scientist with the U.S. Air Force Research Labs at Kirtland Air Force Base.

“Dr Michael J Duggin and Jacques Vallee”

Quote from the article:
Duggin writes to Vallee

In a blog post dated 4 January 2017, I reported on the passing on, of Australian Dr Michael J Duggin. Between at least 1966 and 1973, Duggin took an active interest in UAP. Inter alia, I reported upon a meeting between Duggin and Jacques Vallee in the US, in 1966.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to come across copies of a letter from Dr Duggin to Jacques Vallee, in the digital collection of US researcher Dr. Michael Swords. There was also a copy of a response letter to Duggin from one William T Powers, an associate of both Jacques Vallee, and Dr J Allen Hynek. I will image the letters below, and provide a typed copy of their contents.”
