“ ‘No peace’ since object sighted”

The whole article:
“The Ivanisevics, of Kambah, have hardly had a moment’s peace since their sighting early Saturday morning (17 February 1990) of an unusual ‘object’ was reported in Sunday’s Canberra Times.

Television crews, radio stations and newspapers have kept the household’s phone ringing and Zoran Ivanisevic, whose wife Ljubica videoed the object, has been asked to appear on the Good Morning Australia, Midday and Today shows.

Mr and Mrs Ivanisevic had seen the unusual object in Canberra's skies about 5.15 am. Mr Ivanisevic had said he had an open mind about UFOs and did not claim it was ‘a flying saucer.’

His daughter, Karolina, said an RAAF investigator had visited the Ivanisevics yesterday afternoon.

The investigator had taken a copy of the video and asked the couple a number of prepared questions. He had said that he would contact Mr Ivanisevic when the investigation was complete.”

UFO News Article:
“ ‘Flying Saucers’ Plotted By Radar”


17 December 1954
(Daily Examiner, Grafton, Australia)

Source: Trove, National Library of Australia, Canberra, ACT, Australia

The whole article:
“The Minister for the Navy, Mr. Francis, confirmed to-night that a pilot from Nowra air station (N.S.W.), had recently observed two lights on his radar ‘with vague shapes underneath.’

Mr. Francis was commenting on reports to-day that a pilot from Nowra some months ago had reported seeing two lighted objects flying close to his plane and at a faster speed than his aircraft.

The objects have been described as ‘flving saucers,’ because their identity is unknown.

Mr. Francis, in his statement said ‘It is a fact that on a night cross-country flight from the R.A.N. Station at Nowra, on August 3, a pilot in his aircraft at 13,000 feet observed two lights on his radar with vague shapes underneath.’

The light passed ahead of him at a very fast speed.

Dr. S. C. B. Gascoigne, of the Commonwealth Observatory, Mt. Stromlo, commenting on Mr. Francis’ statement to-night said it was highly unlikely, and almost impossible, that the objects could have been meteorites.

This was because the objects as reported were too low in the sky and had apparently persisted for too long.”

UFO News Article:
“U.F.O’s. sighted at Victor”


23 May 1974 
(Victor Harbour Times, Australia)

The whole article:
“Two unidentified flying objects were sighted by a family, two visiting friends and a police officer near Victor Harbour last Monday night (20 May 1974).

Mr. Neville Dunn, of Maud Street, Encounter Bay, said yesterday that at 8.30 p.m. Monday he and his family and two friends from Bordertown saw two strange flashing white lights appear from the north-east at about 45 degrees.

After rising to a higher altitude one of the objects apparently disappeared into cloud. Mr. Dunn then drove to the nearby home of First Class Constable Max Griffiths in Philip Avenue and from there Mr. Dunn, Const. Griffiths and Mrs. Griffiths saw two separate flashing lights travelling from east to west in the direction of the Amscol factory just out from Victor Harbour.

Mr. Dunn said the first two lights sighted by his family and friends seemed to come from the direction of Amscol about a quarter of a mile apart.

After leaving Const. Griffiths, Mr. Dunn drove to Porter’s Hill but did not again see the flashing lights which had been visible altogether for about 20 minutes.

Did any other readers see flashing lights in the sky Monday night?

It has since been verified that an aircraft was in the vicinity of Victor Harbour about 8 p.m. Monday night. The pilot was having radio trouble and he was directed to land at Murray Bridge.”

“NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen – Part 7”


By Paul Dean, 23 April 2016
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Quote from the article:
“In Part 6 of ‘NORAD and the UFO Smokescreen,’ I introduced the possibility that the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD), as well as other commands and their space components, had ever detected and tracked what we would ultimately called UFO’s outside Earth’s atmosphere. By UFO’s, I, of course, mean unknown and unidentifiable bodies above-and-beyond manmade payloads or debris, and natural, meteoritic material. I established that NORAD is not in direct command and control of space surveillance systems, but relies on incoming data from the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) and the component commands who run the vast Space Surveillance Network (SSN) – over thirty electro-optical and radar sensors distributed the world over. I also established that, if UFO’s do in fact exist, that NORAD and the SSN could, even in the 1950’s and 1960’s, have spotted serious UFO’s events – within technical limitations – and that such events would have been classified. Beyond those facts, much of what we know, at least up until the mid-1970’s, is inconclusive, and sometimes just rumor. However, this very large and complicated jigsaw puzzle was becoming clearer.”

“James E McDonald – digital recordings collection”


By Keith Basterfield, 19 March 2016
(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:
McDonald archive

US researcher, Ann Druffel worked with McDonald’s wife and others, to ensure that his UAP archive was made available for future generations of researchers.

As part of the archiving process, Ralph McCarron, spent a number of years transferring the original reel to reel sound recordings to digital media.

Australian material

McDonald visited Australia in 1967, and during his time here, he interviewed a number of individuals about their sightings. A number of these Australian interviews are to be found in the University of Arizona’s special McDonald audio recordings archive. The following list of such recordings is taken from Ralph McCarron’s index of all McDonald’s audio recordings.”

“New book alert – ‘UFOs Over Poland’ –
Piotr Cielebias”


By Keith Basterfield, 30 March 2016
(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:
Cielebias holds an MA in history, a BA in Political Sciences, and is a writer and journalist.

Official responses include:

* ‘According to many military informants, the Polish Air Force of People’s Polish Army issued a special protocol for potential UFO observers in uniform.’ (p.61.)

* ‘Official Polish government/military UFO files remains a controversial topic. If these ever existed they were surely not related to any specific project on unidentified aerial phenomena.’ (p.61.)

* ‘There is no doubt that the Polish Army has kept its eye on ufologists in the past and is still doing so even today.’ (p.63.)

“The ‘Bolender Memo’ And A New Lease On Life”


By Paul Dean, 21 April 2016
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Quote from the article:
“On 2nd, December 1978, researcher Robert Todd submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the United States Air Force (USAF) for any unreleased records created during the closure of Project Blue Book. A response came back from the USAF’s 1947th Administrative Support Group (1947ASG), dated 19th December, 1978, with a number of documents attached. One of them was a three-page ‘Department of the Air Force Air Staff Summary Sheet’ dated 20th December, 1969, prepared by a Maj. Espey and signed by Brigadier General Carroll H. Bolender, who was Deputy Director of Development, for the Deputy Chief of Staff, Research and Development, USAF. That ‘Air Staff Summary Sheet’ became widely known as the ‘Bolender Memo.’ The cover letter – and this is the first time this has ever been published – from the USAF to Todd stated:

‘Dear Mr. Todd,

Attached in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of 2 December, 1978, are copies of all records from Secretary of the Air Force files of or relating to the decision to terminate Project Blue Book, as well as all other UFO-related records located during the search.’ ”

“NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen – Part 6”


By Paul Dean, 18 March 2016
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Quote from the article:
“Previously, in Part 5 of this ambitious series, ‘NORAD and the UFO Smokescreen,’ I discussed North American Aerospace Defence Command’s (NORAD) role in the identification, tracking and categorisation of aerospace activities across North America, and their sophisticated maintenance of ‘air sovereignty’ through well-developed national defence doctrine. Within that complex framework, I demonstrated that UFO’s can be ‘allowed for,’ and, have indeed plagued NORAD in the past. Their own records prove that. Of course, by ‘UFO’ I mean unidentifiable objects or other unusual, solid phenomena; completely distinct from just strayed aircraft or other manmade activities. For readers who are new to this series, my entire Parts 1 through to Part 5 can be found here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.

NORADs Space Surveillance Mission        

NORAD’s surveillance mission extends into space. In this, Part 6, and an upcoming Part 7, I am investigating their monitoring of space objects – manmade, natural, or possibly otherwise; with the ‘otherwise’ category being UFO’s.”
