Australia’s UFO Files Mysteriously Disappear
Not too surprising given the tales of subterranean extraterrestrial rest stops and other secrets associated with Pine Gap, said to be Australia’s Area 51. Clear evidence of a cover-up stretching back years. Thanks to Kalion on 2012S discussion group.
Australia’s UFO files mysteriously disappear
In what sounds like a plot from a science fiction film, it seems that the bulk of the Australian government’s X-Files have mysteriously disappeared.

The department of defence has been unable to find a host of records relating to UFO sightings that were collected over several decades.
The disappearance of the documents came to light when the military received a freedom of information (FOI) request from the Sydney Morning Herald Newspaper asking for any documents that mentioned sightings of UFOs or “extraterrestrial organisms” in Australia.
The request came after the British government released a dossier of thousands of documents relating to unidentified flying objects.
However, after two months of searching the relevant archives, the department said that the documents could not be found.
A spokesman said it was likely that some of the files had been destroyed.
“Our office examined past FOI requests which related to UFOs and discovered that many of the files had been destroyed, as is normal administrative procedure,” it said in a statement.
In fact, just one file from the entire cache could be located. That related to “UFOs/Strange Occurrences and Phenomena in Woomera”, a military weapons testing range in the outback.
The lone file detailed a sketchy series of sightings from around the country and overseas, including people living in towns near Woomera, in South Australia.
Australia’s military decided to stop taking UFO sighting reports in late 2000, asking members of the public to report incidents to police instead.
UFO experts in Australia believe that the military knowingly shredded the documents.
Bill Chalker, author of The Oz Files, said that in 2003 eight years-worth of documents relating to UFO sightings were destroyed — not to cover up a shocking discovery of alien life, but as part of department “housekeeping”.
“But it does seem strange that Australia would be destroying these files while England and America was putting theirs online and making them public,” he said.
Doug Moffatt, spokesman for UFO Research New South Wales, said questions needed to be asked.
“It would be interesting to know if they have throw anything else out. If not, it starts looking dodgy.”

I'm still around Exo..just keeping my head low. This is a very complex site covering a broad range of topics but unfortunately many discussions are interrupted by those just out to cause disorder. Yes you can put that down to varying degrees of awakening or just plain ignorance. As the time draws nearer I'll try and post more but at the moment I think we'll have our hands full in the coming month/s and maybe there will be no reason to.
There's a very simple answer, freedom of information act.
It's so much easier to delete the files from the server than to hand them over upon a court order.
We Aussies get screwed by the government every day, so this is really no surprise.
Yes I saw the show and thought it was very informative.
Unfortunately, like everything, if you mention to anyone you have seen a UFO you are considered to be a mental case. My experiences go beyond seeing (twice) but that's another story. Also, anyone who approaches the media in respect to UFOs are treated like idiots. I watch reporters taking the piss out of the people they have interviewed after the people are off camera and have often said I'd like to smack them in the head (news crew/reporters). I know, real spiritual, but when you've lived the life I've lived, spiritual or not, you occasionally lash out and it does make you feel good.
I refuse to let people use me as a door mat!
Thank you for sharing this info Jim!
Namaste!
