Unusual Aerial Sightings — RAAF Williamtown File 6

This document is a collection of 'Minute Papers' from the Department of Defence, specifically relating to the RAAF base at Williamtown, Australia. The file, designated as Control Symbol 6, contains a series of reports documenting 'Unusual Aerial Sightings' (UAS) reported by members of the public between 1984 and 1986. The reports are primarily logs of telephone calls received by the Orderly Officer or Intelligence (INTELO) personnel. Witnesses frequently describe lights in the sky, often characterized as red, white, or green, and sometimes stationary or moving in erratic patterns. Many reports include the witness's name, address, and phone number, along with a brief description of the sighting. In several instances, the reporting officers conclude that the sightings are likely weather balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena, often noting 'NFA' (No Further Action) or 'WX Balloon' (Weather Balloon) as the assessment. One notable entry involves a report from a Mr. Huntris, who claimed to communicate with a being named 'EON' from the planet 'Lentor' in the 'Alfa Centuri' galaxy. Another report details a Mirage aircraft being launched to investigate a UFO sighting, which was subsequently identified as a balloon. The file also includes a 'Document Removal Advice' from the National Archives of Australia, noting that 49 folios from 1986 were removed as they were not in the open period under the Archives Act 1983.
