“Defence Science and Technology
Organisation records on UAP - Part one”
By Keith Basterfield, 28 June 2017
(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
Quote from the article:
“Introduction
In a blog post dated 14 June 2016, I advised that I
had found a file in the National Archives of Australia (NAA), file series
A4090, control symbol 529/1/16 Part 1, titled ‘DSTO records of unidentified
aerial phenomena.’
The file had only been registered with the NAA on 30
September 2015, and originated with the Australian Department of Defence (DOD).
The file was listed as ‘closed,’ with the reason given, being ‘withheld pending
advice.’ This usually means that the file is still with the originating agency,
being examined by them for ‘sensitivities’ before being opened.
I immediately asked the NAA to have the DOD complete
their examination of the file; knowing that once the file status changed from ‘closed’
to ‘open,’ that I would be able to order a copy of the file.
While waiting for this process to be completed, I wrote
to the DOD and asked an obvious question. If this was part one of the file, was
there a part two? The DOD responded that there was no part two. In addition, I
checked to see if the NAA RecordSearch had a part two, it did not.
In addition, also while waiting, I wrote a second blog
post dated 20 June 2016, gathering together what I could find out about any
DSTO involvement with UAP in Australia.
Time passed, until I was advised on 26 June 2017, that
the file had been digitised for me. At this point, I wish to acknowledge UFO
Research (NSW) Incorporated, who donated half the money needed to purchase a
digital copy of this file. Many thanks for your generosity.”

UFO Documentary Film Transcript (Excerpt):
“UFO også i Norge?”
(“UFO also in Norway?”)
Transcript of the interview with Major Espen Steffensen,
Royal Norwegian Air Force.
Transcript
in Norwegian:
Intervjuer:
“Mange lurer på hvordan Det norske forsvaret stiller seg til UFO-meldingene. Kommer
det inn slike meldinger til Forsvaret? Og i tilfelle, blir disse
registreringene tatt på alvor?
Espen
Steffensen er major. Han har i 10 år vært engasjert med UFO-jobbing som en del
av tjenesten sin i Luftforsvaret – og har i denne perioden gransket ca. 20
UFO-saker.”
Espen
Steffensen: “Ja da, jeg har stelt med dette i både Nord-Norge og i Sør-Norge,
og har hatt dette som en bijobb. Forsvaret tar imot meldingene (UFO-meldingene)
og behandler de og sender de videre til Forsvarets overkommando.”
Intervjuer:
“Dere tar dette alvorlig?
Espen
Steffensen: “Vi tar det absolutt alvorlig! Og det er ganske viktig at vi prøver
å finne svar på de spørsmålene som stilles, og gjør en objektiv jobb på dette
her – og gir en tilbakemelding til den personen som rapporterte til oss. Rapportene
mottas da ved for eksempel Forsvarets overkommando. Og man går ut og prøver så
å finne ut hva er det som er sett. Vi tar kontakt med Flykontrolltjenesten ved
flyplassen og med våre egne radarstasjoner for å finne svar på dette.”
Intervjuer:
“Og slik finner Forsvaret en naturlig forklaring på de fleste UFO-sakene – men det
blir likevel noen igjen man ikke kan forklare – selv med Forsvarets avanserte utstyr
til disposisjon.”
Espen
Steffensen: “Det er blant annet et tilfelle over Vestfold (fylke) for noen år
siden – hvor det ble observert en sigar-lignende gjenstand. Og vi kunne ikke
finne ut noen ting via radar eller Luftkontrolltjenesten hva det var for noen
ting som var over Vestfold i det unike området. Det var en episode over
Sarpsborg for noen år siden hvor det også ble observert en UFO-lignende
gjenstand som vi aldri fant ut hva det kunne være for noen ting.”
Intervjuer:
“Hvordan tedde den seg?”
Espen
Steffensen: “Den fløy over byen og var vel også sigar-lignende. Men våre
radarer har ikke observert den. Og Flykontrolltjenesten hadde ikke kjennskap
til den.”
Intervjuer:
“Forsvarets blikk er altså også rettet mot UFO-fenomener. Hvorfor er dette så
viktig for Forsvaret?”
Espen
Steffensen: “Det er jo blant annet alvorlig på grunn av rikets sikkerhet. Og
det er også veldig viktig på grunn av forhold til sivile.”
Intervjuer:
“Hvorfor er det viktig i forhold til rikets sikkerhet?”
Espen
Steffensen: “Det er jo klart at vi har våre radarer som ser hva som foregår i
luftrommet over oss. Og vi vil jo helst ikke at ukjente ting skal komme inn
over Norge uten at vi har identifisert det.”

Transcript in English (translated by Google
Translate):
Interviewer: “Many are wondering how the Norwegian Armed
Forces react to UFO reports. Are there any such reports sent to the Armed
Forces? And in the event, are these registrations taken seriously?
Espen Steffensen is Major. For 10 years he has been
involved in UFO work as part of his service in the Air Force – and during this
period he has examined approximately 20 UFO cases.”
Espen Steffensen: “Yes, I have been doing this in both
Northern Norway and Southern Norway
and have had this as an extra job. The Armed Forces receive the reports (UFO
reports) and treat them and pass them on to the Armed Forces Command.”
Interviewer: “Do the Air Force take this seriously?”
Espen Steffensen: “We absolutely take it seriously! And
it is quite important that we try to find answers to the questions asked and do
an objective job on this – and provide feedback to the person who reported to
us. The reports are then received by, for example, the Defense Command. And you
go out and try to figure out what is seen. We will contact the Air Traffic
Control at the airport and with our own radar stations to find answers to this.”
Interviewer: “And so, the Armed Forces finds a natural
explanation of most of the UFO cases – but there are still some things you can
not explain – even with the military’s advanced equipment at their disposal.”
Espen Steffensen: “This is a case over Vestfold
(County) a few years ago – where a cigar-like object was observed. And we could
not figure out anything via the radar or the Air Traffic Service what was
flying over Vestfold in this specific area. It was an episode in Sarpsborg a
few years ago when a UFO-like object was observed, but we never figured out what
the object was.”
Interviewer: “How did it fly?”
Espen Steffensen: “It flew over the city and was also
cigar-like. But our radars has not observed it. And the Air Traffic Service did
not know about it.”
Interviewer: “The view of the Armed Forces is thus
also directed at UFO phenomena. Why is this so important to the Armed Forces?”
Espen Steffensen: “It is, among other things, serious
because of the security of the nation. And it's also very important because of
relationships with civilians.”
Interviewer: “Why is it important in relation to the
security of the nation?”
Espen Steffensen: “It is clear that we have our radars
that surveilles what is going on in the airspace above us. And we prefer to
identify what objects fly over Norway .”
The interview with Major Espen Steffensen starts at
15:01 minutes into the documentary.

“A REVIEW OF SELECTED AERIAL
PHENOMENON SIGHTINGS FROM
AIRCRAFT FROM 1942 TO 1952”
By Richard F. Haines, Ph.D., 1985
(NICAP.org)
One of the cases Haines focuses on is the 24 March 1952
B-29 radar case.
The B-29 flew 60 miles west of Point Conception , California ,
when the UFO was painted on the radar screen.
The radar return (calculated to be
moving at about 3,000 mph )
was viewed by a U.S. Air Force B-29 navigator and a radar operator,
according to Haines.
