What the record resolves
A shape, a height, a number of figures. Nothing that resolves a body.
One sentence: a figure in a light-fitting suit, carrying a box.
The record
An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.
- RAAF HQ Operational Command (transmitting), DAFI (recipient) Press clipping filed in the RAAF unusual-aerial-sightings file under a transmitting memo of 21 June 1972 endorsed Forwarded without comment (opens in a new tab)
The document is attached to this entry.
What is not settled
Not testimony - a journalist's paraphrase of an unnamed woman, preserved because the RAAF filed press cuttings. No investigation, no date, no name; the RAAF explicitly declined to comment. Useful as evidence of how the system handled entity claims, not of an event.
