AIRSPACE OVER AUSTRALIA BUZZING WITH ALIEN CRAFT

 Freedom of Information requests lodged by two Melbourne scientists have revealed UFOs may be more active in Australian airspace than many people thought.  Paul Dean and Keith Basterfield were so fascinated by an Australian Transport Safety Bureau ATSB report into an incident near Perth, on March 19 last year; they lodged a FOI request with Air Services Australia asking for information on recent cases of unexplained objects in our skies.  When the response returned details of 13 incidents in the past seven years they were stunned.  “At about 3800 ft above mean sea level, the crew sighted a bright strobe light directly in front of the aircraft,” a report into the March 19 Perth incident stated.  “The light appeared to track towards the aircraft and the crew realised that the light was on an unknown object, possibly an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).  “The pilot reported that the object was cylindrical in shape and grey in colour.”  The pilot was forced to take evasive action to avoid crashing into the object.  Another incident involved a missile-like object dropping from the sky.  “(Flight) XKI (DH8C) reported a foreign object of approximate size (1 metre) within close proximity (50ft) of the aircraft causing them to level out briefly as the object passed left hand side,” an Airservices Australia pilot said:  Pilot reported observation at 6800 ft.”  In another incident last January a pilot reported seeing “something hovering…which then disappeared.”  In September 2012 flight “TGW581 reported a red cylindrical object passing the aircraft in the opposite direction when climbing through FL200 approximately 20nm miles south of Sydney.”  On April 25, 2010 near Mt Jerrabomberra in NSW an “Unidentified (upside down pyramid shaped) object drifting close to final rwy 35 … Initially drifted west, towards final for rwy 35, before climbing and drifting to the Northeast.”  “Two aircraft (QFA814 and VOZ259) were diverted through noise abatement areas to avoid the object.” NOTE:    The above image is a rendering.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH A COMMERCIAL FLIGHT OVER PERTH

CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH COMMERCIAL FLIGHT NEAR PERTH

 MARCH 19, 2014    …….    PERTH AUSTRALIA

 Two researchers have published an analysis of a reported close encounter last year between a turbo-prop near Perth and an object thought to have been a drone and concluded that it should be regarded as a UFO or unidentified aerial phenomena or UAP, to give it an acronym free of tabloid baggage.  That incident, on 19 March 2014, was investigated by the ATSB, which issued this final report. (also shown below in text) This is what the ATSB says happened:  On 19 March 2014, at about 0913 Western Standard Time (WST) a de Havilland DHC-8, registered VH-XFX was on approach to Perth Airport from Kambalda, Western Australia

When about 23km north-north-east of Perth, at about 3,800ft above mean sea level (AMSL), the crew sighted a bright strobe light in front of the aircraft.  The light appeared to track toward the aircraft and the crew realised that the light was on an unknown object, possibly an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV.) The pilot took evasive action turning towards the west to avoid a collision with the object. The object passed about 20m horizontally and 100ft vertically from the aircraft.  The pilot reported that the object was cylindrical in shape and grey in colour. It was at about 3,700ft AMSL and in controlled airspace. The crew did not receive a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) alert. The airspace below 3,500ft AMSL was military restricted airspace and the Australian Defence Force was not operating UAVs and was not aware of any UAV operations in the area at the time of the incident.  The ATSB was not able to confirm the details of the object or identify any UAV operator in the area at that time.  This is what the pilot in command of the flight told the researchers as they prepared their analysis.

* The pilot, male, age 26 utterly ruled out the possibility of the object being a weather balloon

* The object was travelling in the opposite direction to him, not merely hovering or floating

* He and the co-pilot registered “complete shock”

* Air Services Australia confirmed that no other flight crew reported seeing the object (via ground radio when he landed)

* When he thought the object might collide with his plane, he sought a heading change from ATC, but this was denied. He therefore changed course himself

* The object was still going “up,” as well as travelling horizontally when it passed his aircraft

* He estimated it was only 100m from his aircraft at most, he said it could have been as close as 30m

* It had the ratio dimension wise of a cigarette, i.e. long and thin

* He said it was green in colour, military green actually, even though the ATSB report cites the colour as grey

* The strobe light on front had a flash frequency of a second interval at most. It was whitish in colour, and not red, or blue, or any other colour

* The total duration of the event did not exceed 15 seconds

* A very rough estimate of the speed of the aircraft at the time was perhaps 450km/hr, despite being on a landing approach

* No other aircraft crew reported seeing anything. There was no radar image of the object. ASA staff saw nothing on radar

* It definitely went past the aircraft on the left hand side

* The pilot undertook a voluntary drug, urine test upon landing

* He has no idea what it was, and didn’t want it to happen again

*There were 53 passengers on board at the time

* No one told him, not to discuss the incident.

 

The incident is unexplained, and the mystery object doesn’t conform to the characteristics of model aircraft or UAVs as known today. The sighting was of sufficient merit to cause an ATSB investigation. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
