“Police report on the Boyup Brook
encounter, uncovered”

Quote from the article:
“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.”
