ROGER-THE E~Y.~.~j; SAUCER MAN Clunpson IS a serious authoritative newsreade~ on Sydney's ATN7.

But when he finishes work he Is ju.t as likely to be seen on the balcony of his home ~ring onto the night sky.

for Roger ., a passionate behever in unidentified flying objects and he has been that way Since he saw something ~~~~~·1~~~le in the night sky

"I was in hospital at the time recovenng from a pretty bad bout of hepatitis," said Roger.

"It was at the tome there was a lot of mterest in the night sky because of the first li))Utniks

"But what I saw certaonly wasn't man·made It was a bright Ught statlonarv 1n the •ky which suddenly began to move quote slowly across the horuon . "Since then I've been very ~terested m the subject and I ve built up quite a library on lt. I read everything I can about UFOs."

Roger's office at ATN7 bears testimony to his interest in the subject.

The walls are almost papered woth photographs of m·o soghtings and drawings and diagrams from witnesses' descnptlons.

Hts mterest in the subject sparked a documentary which he researched. wrote. and produced for Seven two and a half years ago.

UFOs - Fact Or Fiction? exarruned . the subJect in the light of boblicaJ passages and mVlted churchmen to com· anent on the probability or otherwtse of the eXIStence of extra-terrestrial bemgs.

"Only a few years ago anyone who said he thought there was a distmct possibility of UFOs eXJShng would have been considered crazy by a large proP.ortlon of the population, 'said Roger

"But I thmk ot's pretiy well accepted by thinking people now that the chances of there bemg other civilisations are very strong

"I know that I accept that probability. I also know that if something from ll))ace landed In my backyard I'd have to take the chance of a . proaching it for a close look .• 'f?

Dear Sir,

POSSIBLE U.F.O. SIGHTING - BLUE MOUNTAINS, N.S.W.

I voul d like to report the sighting of an unusual light, low in the sky, vhich vas observed on Sunday, 29 May 1977.

My girl-friend and I, in the company of her younger brother and sister, aged 10 and 7 respectively, were travelling back fmm the Jenolan Caves vhen at approximately 5pm - 5.10pm (about dusk) I noticed the object, in the distance, through the vindscreen.

Mon A man who Is ton.

vlnted life would be better on another planet wan'h to buy a flying r;auter.

Hidden

As I had to keep ~ eyes on the vinding road ahead of me, I could only catch ~everal fleeting glimpses of it, but my girl friend was able to keep it under constant observation through the side-passenger windov, vhere it could be more clearly sighted.

After severcl minutes ve lost sight of it as the road, vhich was reasonably busy, wound around some hilly terrain.

Several minutes later vhen our viev vas no longer obscured, ve had another look in the same general direction 1bri t and although posei bly hazardous we vould have stopped the car on the side ot the road for a better look had ve sighted it again.

The U.F.O. appeared to be in a West or North-vest direction, possibly in the vicinity of Oberon but it was difficult to esti mate its size or distance, although it appeared to be quite large.

Itwasobserved about 5°- 10° above the horizon and was not appearing to move in any definite direction. Hovever i t did appear (unless it vas the motion of the oar} to be constantly rising and fall ing (fluttering).

To me, it appeared as a whitish oval shape but ~ girl-friend (vho had a clearer vievJ said it resembled tvo saucers clamped together and slightly flattened at the top.

The weather conditions at the time were fine and cool to cold, vith light to moderate vinds, cloudless skies and very good visibility.

I have been interested in the U.F.O. phenomena for many years nov, but this would be the only oocasion on whtch I have been unable to positively identify anything or an unusual nature that I have seen in the sky. The only explanation I can offer ie that the U.F.O. may have been either ,_

1) Sunlight reflecting off a lenticular cloud (despite the apparently cloudless sky) and giving the appearance of fluttering due to the motion of the car.

2) Sunlight reflecting off an aircraft and appearing not to move in any definite direction, due to the distance involved and also appearing to flutter due to the motion of the car.

}) A handglider with sunlight reflecting off the sail . (My girl- friend is reasonably certain that it wasn't a handglider).

Although I am a firm believer in the existence of U.F. O.•s , I feel quite certain that this sighting, in common with the majority of others , would most likely have a perfectly conventional P.XplanPtion. However , I feel obliged, ae a reeponoible citizen, to report' anything of an tmueual nature in the sky, as it could confirm many similar eightings recorded in the area.

If this sighting should warrant an investigation by your Department I would appreciate a reply ae to whether or not the object can be identified.

I am listing below all relevant details, and am enclosing a map which hopefully will be of some assistance to you.

Yours faithfully,

IT was just after midnight v.hen the space vehicle Icnded.

Young John Smith ~M .11.'1'.-akened by n I'Oanns; noiso like the shudder of a Mack truck which flllr.cl hls tlny bedroom. wlUl sound.

The date w.a.'l May 26 1!!77, one which John and his mother - they lUll a small farm nbout 17 km trom Orange - nrc ncvor likely to .forget.

Ho recalls: "I got up and went. out the back door. The animals were going fro.nllc, horses rcnr­ing .ncl whinneyln!f, dogs barking furiously •

.. Aeross the ynrd, about 00 metres away, 1 saw n brilliant. light. slowly ns­~ndlng a amall lllll. It. vro.s clgo.r-Shnped with 1our or five brighter lights bllnldng along its slde.

"As 1 watched, 1t. In­creased 2n brllllance nnd the noise became d('afen-1ng. Then, quite suddenly, ft. went. out. and. except. 1or t.he clamor or the anl­Dlals, there was silence ...

John ran t.hrouab the bouse and woke his mother who waa «aaeep in a front bedroom.

Thunderous l\lrs Smith (tho nantt' Ia

false to respect their de­sire 1or privacy) went with hlm to the baekynrd, .aw nothing, and return­ing was met by " t.hun­cleroua rush or sound.

From the front doorway abe saw t.he huge bril­liantlY illuminated cige.r. Along the alde there ap­peared to her to be a number o :f a q u nre wlndowa.

Slowly Jt 1Joated around t.ho baSe of t.be hill and t.hen 'fanlahed.

T h e y were unlike planes, certalnlJ not atars, Md later 1n'featJp.t.lon showed there had been no Ughtnlng or ot.her atmo­spheric disturbance t.hat night.

lrlnl chemist, and Michael Smyth, a. proJect. a.dmlnls­trntor, are tbo co-ordin­ators ot tho NSW Re­search Group and are responsible tor the ln­vestJcatlon ot slghllngs and the accurate programming ot the com­puter.

Mr C h a 1 k e r says: "Basically there are Ulrec categories of close en­cowlt.er recogniSed by r e s p o n a!ble autborl t.les t.hroucbOut the world.

"These are: Close En­counter or the First Kind, which Involves slghtlngs within lfiO metres or Wit­nesses.

''The second Kind, where n UFO lands, leaves behind markS, affects the wll.uess hl some way either by sound or sight, or atleets cars, 1hstru­ments or anbnals.

"The Third Kind, when witnesses a e e animated beings or entitles emerg­Ing from, or 1n t.he vicinity ot the obJect..

"All of t.hese studies around the world come under the acgla of the Oentre tor UFO Studies in UUnols which 18 admlJila­t~red by Dr Alan Hynek, former aatronomlcal c:on-

ult.ant to the United Sl.<\tcs Alr Force.'

Dr Uynet started a re­earch program which lifted the examination or astronomical phenomena out or the fantasy realm or fly.tna: saucers into the practical world of scienti­fic r<tet.

No solution .Mr Chalkft' stresses that

nt the nlOJDent they have no solutions.

He snys: • There nre lots of U1eorles ranging .from the view that they are ot a military nature orlgln­o.Ung on earth, to clahns Lbat we nre being vlsited by bclnr:s !rom some dls­tnnt planet. But they ru·e no more thnn theories.

"What we do know. and have sutflcirnt cvldenco to prove, is that there o.re unusual pbenomena ap­P e n 1'1 n g c v e r y where around the ~orld, landing OCCX\.'llonally, and dls­ch~Ut;lng enUUcs."

Socorro $oucer. by Ray Stonford. Publl•htd by Collins. $2.95,

TilE topics on which you can ha,·e an argu­rnen& are, "e know, many and varied.

Arguments nrc particu­larly good when held at d!Jmer part.les, or when leaning on the bo.r. 'l11ey help to pass Ute time and usually serve to ensure that there arc no long perio<ls o! cmbo.n'aSiilng 6llcuce.

You can yell at each other na you rur your vle\\s on religion, £port, politic., (these arc all \'Cl'Y popular) or you can sound r ort h on tne subject of UnidcnUIJC<l Flying Obiecl.s.

Personally l'd ral her lnlk about UFOs than religion or politics (not necessarily sport though) and certainly prefer flying saucer talk to natter about st:u- signs and compatibility,

This Is almost M great a waste of t.lme as v;at.<;h!Jtg nagby !~ague.

No, UJrOs are a set·ious subject, don't lau~h, they arc.

Why, alter aJI, should this be thP- only plan~L to be ~to\\ed with intelligent hfe (and e\en that Is ques· Uonable at times)?

Bicknell's • books 'I11Is Is not to say that we

should all bdic~o that \le have been occa.sionally \i.s-1 ted by curious pcl1!0ns from the f:u· reaches of Ute unlvcn;e, but then It's 11ot to say that wo haven t; either.

In short. who knows? After all, we've already

landed men on the moon and ~~ent crude machines to take snap& of Mars and Venus.

It will be a while before 1\e can ZIIJ> around paying flying \ ls1ts to the red planet or ~lting 800-metre drives at lhe Royal Moon Country Club, but then WO'l·e Inhabitants O! a COlli• Jlarativcly yowtg plrutet.

Advruu:cd intelligence may bo. watching us this \'cry mom<'nt, certainly thousands, perhaps mil· lions, of people think so.

Ray Stanford Is detin­ltely one such believer.

lie has lnvcstlgn.t.cd \'ery thoroughly the most famous lUlu lliOilt centro\ ersbl closest encounter or them nu, Ute

alleged landing of an un· idcntlhed flying object near the town of Socorro, New ;\texico, on Apri124, 1964.

Stanford Ia not, It seems, a man prone to hysterics or tcnsationall.sm.

lie Is not, like some UFO frutatlcs 1 lla\'O encounter· ed, prepared to bellevc that e•ery strange ldghUng abo\'e l.s yet another \1slt or threat, or exploraUon by little green men.

But he belie\"CS tlmt U1crc WAS a landing, that there V.'Cre lllOl'l) Uw1 two \\1t.ncsscs, not. just policeman Lonnie Zamora and :UI wuwned "tourist," a11d that the U.S. Air :t"orcc con.tiscatcd evidence and co\'eredup.

Stanford Is comlnclng, that is !l you really wauL to be convincc<l. 'Dtero aro many who understand:.bly just don't want to know about the J>OOSibilit.y of inter-galactic travellers.

Personally, despite the efforts or Ray Slrutford, I'll t.tay on the fence until I have a close encowtter ot my own.

Howe\ er, thould this uewstl6~r by some chance fallmto the feelers of a unt• \ersal PXplorer, this Is not necessarily an Invitation.

With the Ulle of recent holo­tuaphic techniquf$ for aharp­eoing blurry photoaraphic image~, the Venusian saucers which took author George Adamski into space io the 1950s have snapped into focus as part of Mr AdanlSki"s cof· fee urn.

These encounters of a per· sooal kind are conc:istent in lhat they always occur at re­mote location, out of sight of any orher wirne~c:es.

lo oil rhe reported cases the

humans chosen for contact could claim no special quali· tie& for representing mankiDd, except, it seems, that they were roughly average by edu· cation and proft$Sion.

Assumiag that only a ra· trooal civrlisatioa could achieve interstellar flight, the reported cootacts imply that they travel from the stars purely LO terrify motorists oo lonely roads or play tag with light aircraft.

Frederick Valenhch, a pilot wirh a keen intemt in UFOs, disappeared en route to King Island on October 21. after telling tra!fic control that something, not an aircraft, was hovering over him.

The last thing on the Do­partmcot ot Traosport tape of the conversation is a loud me· Iaiiie noise. consistent with the plene hil1iog the sea or land.

Dr Carl Sagan, a US scieo· tist, points to other inadcqua· cies in reports of alien encoun· te.,, They look too much like human<. and their technology seem~ too close to ours in time, he '"Y'·

He believes that the type of

The funds are not forthcom­ing. although the projects could begin for •• little money as the US public spends on UFO specialty journals in one year.

However. there remain a few naggiDg doubts about pO$· sible historical evidence of contacts with aliens.

Mr Adamski's succe.\"'r in the marl<etin~ of Mtooishing revelations about UPOs was Erich vou Daniken, who.o books, starting with Chariors of the Gods, rewrote ancient h1"0ry.

STARTS TODAY: A MIND-BOGGLING GLIMPSE INTO THE WEIRD AND ASTONISHING

By JOHN PINKNEY

• A 'STINKING gost' terrorises a house In Paddington ••• an Ameri· can study soya a UFO filmed over NSW is 'tolld and metalli'' , , • an engineer dreams the winl\ins num· ber In a $100,000 lottery.

• THESE are just a few of the adon· ishlng stories from Journey Into The Unknown, the efiie, exciting series by John Pinkney on the world of the supematural.

• IN January, Pin~ney will publish a book on hit UFO findings and research • . • a book, he claims, which will " rock the world.''

• AND given his frock record it's obvious nobody involved In the UFO mysteries will want to miss a word of it ...

sCientists are on the brink of a fliii!Sillltiiii•P••• dramatic breakthrough in their research into UFOs.

Using sophisticated computers, they are proving that many of the eerie aerial Images captured on film over the past 30 years were not mira­ges, but solid metal.

In Sydney this week, experts are minutely scrutlnising a computer­analysed film that may prove to be a scientific bombshell.

The foota_ge shows three elliptically shaped obJects manoeuvring over Ben Boyd National Park, near Eden, on the NSW south coast.

The American computer repm·t slat~s cate­gorically that Ben Boyd's UFOs are metallic.

Mishap • On October 19,

!NVESTIGATORS often have difficulty decid­mg where a UFO &ighting ends and a haunting begins.

This problem confronted that sceptical solicitor Peter Norris and me shortly after we form­ed the Australian UFO Research Socie­ty - the first organ­isation of its kind in the southern hemi­sphere.

Peter and 1 first road the story In newspap­ers.

. Hundreds of terrified residents of the bush town of Warrandyte were reporting to pollee and the media that they had seen eerie lights and Immense, quasi-human figures at nlght on Research Rd, a strip of bitumen that twisted through the area·s ancient, bro0d6

ing bush!anct.

Drizzly Several motorists

claimed that balls of blinding light had buzzect them and run them off the road.

Warrandyte, we agreed. was a must for lnvesUgation.

We arrived on a ·drear, drizzly day and went straight to the spot where the alleged phenomena had ~n seen.

Two residents, local journalist John Biggs and businessman Ber-

nard Stringer, were our guides.

It was a gloomy place. The road was little more t han a rough bush track, with gums towering on either side.

We waded through wet grass, down to the river. Here, John Biggs showed us the place where two married students had fled, .several days earlier, from what they later described to us a.s "a white, glowing, man­like tlgure - so tall, Its head snapped off branches as lt approached"

John had hl3 own unsettling tale. He had ~n driving along Re.earch Road at about 9 pm, three weeks before, when his gennan shepherd, Sit· Ung In the back, began shrieking In obvious terror, leaping about the car trying to escape.

John braked and

peered Into the dark­ness ahead. He saw nothlnA'- at first.

Then. Into his field of vl•lon floated the thing his dog seemed already to have sensed.

"It wa.s a huge, pink sphere;· he told me. "lt glowed with a light so bright It made my head ache.

Berserk "It floated steadily

toward the car. I was so scared I couldn't move. The dog was berserk.

"The thing drifted right up close to the windscreen.

Its presence seemed to bore loto my head, like music turned up too loud.

"Then, sudd~nly, It just ~xploded. and the road was dark again. I slammed the car Into gear and got out.

Peter Nords and I tape-recorded more than 40 testimonies to

the ha.pp('nlngs on Research Rd.

About a week before the disturbances began. there had been a spatt of UFO sight· lngs to the north.

Peter Jean~d toward tht tlleory that "some­thing" just might have landed In the bush skirting that primitive road. something whose Inhabitants had made a lel3urely study or the frightened hun>an ants ~~Currying by.

But around the town at that time, the word "ghosts" was heard moro often than "UFOs.

And a study or old local mapo dtd ma.ke me wonder.

On the precise spot where the apparitions manifested themselves, several hundred ,Abo­rigines had been mas­sacred early last century.

J919

The U.S. Government is making a mufti-million-dollar attempt to conceal information about the wreckage of an immense UFO, which crashed last year into a South American iungle.

The flaming cylinder, said to be as long as t:v~ city blcx;k.c;, smashed into dense undergrowth neru· the Boliv1a-Argentma border on 1fay 6, 1978.

The Buenos Aires Herald reported that the explosion was so immense it was heard for hundreds of kilometres.

The Bolivian Government declared the site a military emergency zone and denied journalists access.

On May 9, 19i8, the Herald published a front page story claim­ing that experts from NASA America's National Aeronautics and .Space Administm­tion - had been flown in to the· tightly­cordoned area.

'Flaming ~ylin er crashed in jungle''

From contacts in S~dney this w-eek, I received confltll1ation of the story.

I learned that a group of pri\·atc UFO investigators, one of them a New 7..ealander now lh;ing in Sydney, spied through binoculars for more than three weeks as American soldiers "carried out piecf.S of t"istcd metnl."

According to the American organisation, CAUSE (Citiwns

Against UFO Secrecy), the U.S. Govemn1ent has suppressed informa• tion about more than a dozm similar UFO crashes within the U.S. alone.

t:nd~:r the FreEdom of lnfomultion Act, CAl'SE is tnking court action to force the Pentagon and CIA to rell'ase documents descnbing these alleged explosions - and how

the \\Teckage, and occupants, were di!'<pos­edof.

CAUSE hns alresdy proved that it is not an OrGanisation of cranks.

case last year, the socie­ty succeeded in getting the Pentagon to release more than 1000 pages of classified documents descn"bing haw UFOs

There have been UFO explosions 0\'et

Australia, too. In 1968, Que«~shmd

University scientists studied fragments of a glowin& o_bject which luld shattered in the night sky over the north of the State.

A group of farmers signed affidavits saying they had seen the UFO disintegrate - nnd sent t11e pieces to the 'Uni· -.:cr.'iity for testing.

In America, CAuSE's ambitions e.xtend far beyond mere fragments.

motor failures and bizarre animal behavior have become almost a part of ordinary liv­ing for many of the locals.

According to the cltainnan of the Bnt­ish UFO Society, Mr Ken P..ogers, many of the tO\I:nsfolk are c()mpletely blase about ··The Thing.

A few are scept.l.cal and the town 1S often divided about exactl} what L'5 happemng around them.

But Mr Rogers says

there is no doubt that something rmpor~ant lS going on m War­mmster.

There are many other areas of regular UFO acth1ty in Bntain, such as Epping in Essex and Reading in Berkshire, but Wanninster is a UFO highway in the sky.

Mr Rogers believes Jt could have some­thmg w do wtt.h Sal­ISbury Plain. a \'3,.jt, lonely agricultural plam on the edge of v. hich the town sits.

''It could be easy for a craft of some description to land and take off \\ithout bemg noticed," he says.

.. Or maybe it's got something to do with the preh1sooric Impor­tance of the place or the tact that a mi!t­tary installation is located nearby.

Strange phenomena ha~o·e been part. of the town's folklore gomg hack centuries.

MYSTERY OF WARMINSTER •FromP.ll

Dossiers are bemsr put together at the recently opened UFO re::.earch centre in the town contaimng sightings. other reported experiences and photographs.

According to Mr Rogers, the dossiers also include ob..<;erva­tions by local military personnel.

In the 1960s the town set up its own inquiry into the strange lights but came to no conclu­sions.

New moves are afoot to comince the local chamber of com­merce to co-operate ~1Ul the nlanJ Tesearchers now com­ing to the town.

Cynics say that the periodic spasms of UFO acthity in places like Warminster are spurred by press publicity or commun­ity hyst~rla when sonaethblg s~ge f t.rst is reported.

Though tlus nlaY be true in part the Brit­ish UFO Soctety

recently conducted a fascinating experi­ment which tends to scotCh the commun­Jty hysteria crincism.

''At one time we thought this could have been caused by community hystena and publicity.

U.F.O. Fact or Fiction P.o. Box 10 LANE COVE NSW 2066

Dear Sir

11 Keats Avenue RIVERWOOD N.s.w. 2210

~ January 1980.

I wa most interested in watching th recent report on U.F.o.•a on your Channel 10 ~ewitnees News.

For many years now I have been fol1owing U.F.O. reports published in various newspapars and magazinoe. I have also r.ead many books on the subject.

Whil I agree, alon with ~oat oth r investigators and researchers on U.F.O. phenomena, that moat eightings cnn be explained away aa natural phenomena, e.g., birds, m t ore, w nth r balloons, conventional aircraft, star , planets, etc., there nre many eightinge, some rather startling, which cannot b explained way. While som U.F.O.'e could be some type of n tural phenomena about which w currently know little, I personally believ that many of the unoxplnin d i8httnga ar of extrat rreetrial v hicl a of unknown origin. I al o b li ve th t these extra rrestrial fore a have been keeptng the earth under close surveillanc for many yearo now, and are aleo collecting varioue ep cimena fro our planet. Thie could qUite possibly explain the many disappearances of aircraft, ship and peopl from the "Bermuda Triangle" and various other r gione of our planet. How ver, I do not feol th t these aliens are generally hostil , as if they were, and intended to conquer our world, th y probably would have dono eo by now, once their catalogue of data had be n gathered, our weakneeseo noted, nnd they were sure of outright victory. This would still be difficult for them ae, although reeiotnnc on our t would be ueel ca, we would, if w had the chance, probably unleach vast quantities of nuclear radiation into the atmoaphero before going under; also, the invadcre would have the enormous problem of

ubduing millions of panic-otricken p ople.

I b li ve there are aev ral reasons for the!~ visitatione. Th a could includ :

(1) To ve us from our own eventual possible destruction, while t tho oame time tudying uo for academic purposes.

(2) The mining of p cioue min ra.l depo its from our arth, which y not re dily cc ooible cl ewherc in space.

(~) To ta.bli h formal contact with us if and when th y fe 1 the time is right.

I definitely b liev that our governm nt, in common with most ov ra ae govornmont , nrc o o~ring many U. .0. reporto, particularly thooe occurring over key d fence rcaa, .g. missil baoes, airforo b a s,

atomic nergy planto, oto. Our leadcro posvibly feel that if th y confided in the popul tion about th ali n visitations, many people would panic unn o ssarily lioving that the U.F.O.'s could bo hoetile, as many sightinga do suggest that wo nr boing spied upon. Also, it would be n embarr ssment for our defence loaders to admit to the public, that in spite of a hu defence budget, they cannot control th a craft viol tin~ our air epao • Some people might sug at that if we cannot top th s alien craft, we may also be helplese in otopping enemy craft from our own planet fro spying upon us.

In conclusion, that is my opinion on this truly baffling phenomena and I can only hope th t one d y th uthoritl will take uo into their confidence and reveal to us th tru otory about the U.F.O. pn nom n • without continuing to d ceiv u :---
