A report by Paul Dean, Shane Ryan, and Keith Basterfield
Background
Many UAP researchers have hung out trying to find references to the 6 April 1966 UAP occasion at Westall, Melbourne, Australia, within the information of the Australian authorities. The one reference we find out about, was in a prolonged letter from a non-public particular person to the Australian Division of Defence (DOD). In that letter, the person posed numerous questions, and one was about Westall. The resultant response from the DOD didn’t reply lots of the questions, and didn’t discuss with Westall in any respect.
What researchers have extra just lately been on the lookout for, is an official report which units out what actually occurred that day. From quite a few witnesses who had been there on the time, we all know that authorities officers instructed college students and not less than one instructor, to not speak in regards to the occasion. We additionally know from family members, of a then senior officer of the previous Australian authorities Division of Provide (DOS) that he wrote an official report on the incident. Nobody has ever discovered a replica of this report. In brief, we will say that no-one has ever been in a position to find any Australian authorities doc that tells us precisely what occurred that day.

A 3 12 months search
Three years in the past, we determined to search for beforehand unknown and unreleased DOS information, held by the Nationwide Archives of Australia (NAA.) We discovered a file collection, MP1899/1 which appeared prone to have relevance to our search. Nonetheless, not one of the particular person information from the collection was listed on the NAA’s database, known as “RecordSearch.”
A visit was then made, to the Melbourne workplace of the NAA, and there we positioned a tough copy “discovering support” itemizing the information within the collection MP1899/1. This listing of file management symbols and titles, was generated by the DOS once they transferred the information to the NAA. We regarded by way of this listing, and chosen a small variety of information which appeared probably the most related.
Time glided by, throughout which there have been a collection of emails and phone calls exchanged with the NAA. Nonetheless, no information eventuated. After a few years of focussing on different analysis issues, we determined to return to the query of those DOS information. We decided that these information had been nonetheless in existence and held on the NAA Burwood storage facility. Throughout this course of one in all us obtained inside 100 metres of the information, however weren’t allowed to take a look at them as a result of their standing was “not but examined.” Preparations had been then made, with the NAA Melbourne workplace, for the information to be “examined,” and in late 2021 they had been registed on RecordSearch. In January and February 2022, one after the other, their standing modified to “open.” This meant one might order a digital copy of the information (an costly enterprise) or view the information, in individual, on the Melbourne NAA workplace.
