UFO Article (Blog):
“Police report on the Boyup Brook
encounter, uncovered”


By Keith Basterfield, 29 August 2017
(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
New South Wales, Australia)

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.”

“Dr Michael J Duggin’s 1971 symposium paper”


By Keith Basterfield, 1 September 2017
(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
New South Wales, Australia)

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”

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

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.”

“Air Force Pacts for Saucer Probe
But Can’t Wait To Discount UFOs”

Quote from the article:
“To get back to Flying Saucers—Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), that is:

The North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) knows what it thinks about them. A recent issue of the NORAD News Service, published in Colorado Springs, carried an article headlined somewhat this way:

UFOs NOT SAUCERS, NO THREAT Says NORAD

This might strike you as a bit presumptuous, considering that: 
—NORAD’s boss, the U.S. Air Force, last year contracted (for $313,000) with the University of Colorado to conduct a scientific investigation to find out just what the—just what in the world UFOs really are.

As far as the air defense command is concerned, the NORAD News Service reported, UFOs ‘have never been shown to be anything but natural atmospheric or astronomical phenomena or airborne objects —birds, insects, hardware—seen under unusual circumstances.’ ”

“One Out of Four In U.S. Believes ‘Saucers’ Real”


20 March 1950
(St. Petersburg Times, Florida)

Quote from the article:
“The Air Force wearily repeated its opinion yesterday–flying saucers are only figments of the imagination.

In Pittsburgh, Herb Morrison, a former lieutenant colonel in the Air Force and a pilot for 20 years, said,  ‘I didn’t believe in flying saucers until I saw them.’

Morrison said he saw five saucers one day while playing golf with six friends.

‘They were definitely not airplanes and two of them even appeared to be flying loose formation,’ he said.”
