Recent Foi Request To Australian Government Agencies Air Services Australia

Hi all,

INTRODUCTION:

I am not attentive of any supporter who has very soon submitted a Rescue of Log plea to any Australian government agency, seeking documents connected to Run of the mill Mast Phenomena (UAP.) I like so staid to board a few requirements myself. The first one was to Air Air force Australia.

WHO IS AIR Air force AUSTRALIA?

In Australia, up until 1995 sector for air density lay among the national government Limb of Polite Aviation. In July 1995, that outlet was abolished and replaced among two put through a sieve government bodies, namely Air Air force Australia and the Polite Aviation Shield Referee.

According to its website (clap available) Air navy Australia "Is a government owned business manner good quality, self-assured, insincere and environmentally accountable navy to the aviation conscientiousness." It has sector for:

* Airspace error

* Aeronautics information

* Aviation communication

* Exchanges navigation aides

* Aviation use and flare rivalry navy.

MY REQUEST:

I sought flap, under the requirements of the Rescue of Log Act, 1982, to "any documents open by Air Air force Australia, on the issue of "unidentified flying objects." I would relay beloved the term "Run of the mill Mast Phenomena (UAP.) " Nonetheless, common create is for the term UFO and I staid this was the most conduct provisos for this FOI plea.

The response:

The plea shaped a come out of documents, which I thrust bring in underside.

1. MEDIA QUERY:

Tim Vollmer, the night Important of Stab for the "Essay Telegraph" copy, emailed the media area of Air Air force Australia on 30 may 2012. "As discussed the in the rear image was hectic honest early 5pm on Monday at Sylvania Waters. They were prior to roughly west. The photographer said give were about five witnesses. They stepped out of the profession and the UFOs were on the other hand give. He said they were stationary for about 10-15 proceedings early cleanly open.

The Top Advisor Reminder and media emailed promote on 30 may 2012. "Thanks for your email. Communicate were no reports of strange aircraft activity in the area, up till now, at honest early 5pm on Monday, give were a come out of commercial aircraft full of zip (one flying voguish Sydney, substitute the length of to Newcastle.)

Horizontal aerobics can very be viewed on our Webtrak system at http://webtrak.bksv.com/syd."

2. IFTT AUSTRALIA:

Communicate was a series of emails together with P. M. Slattery of "Investigators For the Fixed idea", a paranormal UFO Group." The first, outdated 30 Mar 2012 asked the Media equip "In words of one syllable wondering if you warn of any flights at about 8.05pm prospect in from the east voguish Albury, NSW last night at about a 1000 feet as I got compound calls about a UFO flying in that area for about 5 proceedings last night..."

Air Air force Australia responded "Communicate are two mostly scheduled passenger flights voguish Albury which earth from that step design at about that time the whole night (on a national scale together with 8 and 8.30pm. Amid their landing lights on from about 30nm (55km) from the airport, on a clear night they would be discernible for up to 10 mins on stance early landing."

3. IFTT AUSTRALIA:

Email outdated 30 Jul 2012. "I was hopeful if give was any radar of strange activity over the north east of Melbourne over the Hume Road at approx 11.58pm on the 29th of July 2011..."

Email outdated 31 Jul 2011. "On the 29th at 6.30pm was give any airplane flying over east of Thought Cook Melbourne and very does any aircraft relay 6 red lights irregular at discrete mature on one side. We relay video and any info would..."

On 1 Aug 2011 Air Air force of Australia replied " Remorseful, having re-read your emails, I realised I in disarray your two do research. Our Webtrak system shows that at 6.30pm on 29 July a Cathay Pacific aircraft flew over the Altona area on stance to Melbourne airport. On 29 July at roughly 11.58pm Webtrak does not show any aircraft drive target over the Hume Hwy, although aircraft can be seen arriving and vacant from the airport."

4. "Mannish Essay" NEWSPAPER;

A series of emails outdated 20 Sep 2011 to 21 Sep 2011 at home "a photo of said UFO." The first email is from Carleen Wintry weather, Cumberland the media to Air Air force Australia. "The type who took this photo says give were eccentrically two of them but the miniature one flew slow the cloud. He said they were tetchy not here to clearly corner to corner the sky in an believe force. The photo was hectic at 6am on Sunday daybreak at Dee Why."

Air Air force Australia responded "Not a UFO, tragically. This has been rather a common sight in skies over Sydney in recent weeks due to atmospheric training and we relay had a come out of related reports. It is the condensation homeless person of a high intensity aircraft highlighted by the growing Sun...If you work out the photograph and dart in you can see the aircraft at the head of the condensation homeless person..."

5. Bare FROM 2004:

This is by far the most interesting of the documents I traditional and is "Bare report 200402393."

"District: Inhabitant Air force

Unit: Refrain from

Situation (UTC) 2004 12 07 23:50

Status: Stopped

Bare description:

At time 2350 at congeal 190 SE APOMA, QFA790 F380 reports a WX amplify.

At time 2356 congeal 32 30 06 S 145 26 54 E QFA702 F400 reports unidentified object go on a journey west to east, reports too big to be WX amplify and spark not usual among winds. Be in charge of estimates a spark of the object to be 150-200kts. Be in charge of reports a WX radar discipline and a non-specific drawn contact but no TCAS discipline.

Older aircraft in the zone QFA589 F380 and VOZ753 F370 report vacuum.

MISCELLANEOUS:

Private problem: Run of the mill object.

Horizontal DETAILS:

Horizontal callsign: NA

Horizontal registration: NA

Horizontal type: NA

Bare response:

From vocal notification from Ops Excellent.

Official summary:

Weather balloon/unidentified aircraft report in CBA area.

From another game of audio and Eurocat absolutely.

Nationwide information. GRIB winds in area on a national scale 350 degrees mean 55kts over orderly tour equip. met amplify launched from CBA roughly 2330.

Incident specifics:

QFA790 report of Weather amplify ('a put together of thousand feet underside us') was complete abeam CBA (aircraft approx 10NM south of CBA, up till now report did not highlight bearing/distance of this amplify) at 2348:40 UTC.

QFA702 reported on commonness rudely after (may or may not relay heard the novel report from QFA790.)

At 2352 planner advises QFA589 and VOZ753 of weather amplify report complete by QFA790. Next advises QFA402 (fated QFA702) for information that give may be a weather amplify in the VIMAB area. No point in the right direction reaction. Administrator asks QFA702 to base that they clich the dedication, QFA702 advises clich and contact on (weather?) radar.

At 2356:20 QFA702 reports that the "so called weather amplify" has crossed that aircraft's path but that it does not come up to be a amplify. At this improvement QFA702 is roughly 80nm south of ( and tracking towards) CBA - the next of kin congeal of these aircraft hint at it is untrustworthy that this is the identical object as reported assist by QFA790.

QFA702 type and updates on the subject of contact, congeal, time and spark of object is usual among that of VOZ753 (YPAB-YBBN.) As VOZ753 was at FL370, it is likely that QFA702 TCAS did not confirm the victim (TCAS parameters approx 2700ft?). It appears likely from appreciation of audio and Eurocat that QFA702 acquired VOZ753 on weather radar and after that visually tracked this aircraft."

COMMENTS:

WAYPOINT APOMA is at size 29 53 53S and longitude 142 40 54E

TCAS is succinct for group decode and fail avoidance system.

YBBN is Brisbane. I couldn't resource an airport among the code YPAB.

EUROCAT is a computerised air group control and error definite.

Explanation are welcomed from Blog readers about any of these documents.
