Cold Case Investigation Wittenoom Western Australia 2 Aug 1964

Hi all,INTRODUCTION:Equally my first UFO book was published, way back up in 1981 (report in this) it local a catalogue of Australian UFO cases up to that date. One of the events downhill, happened in Wittenoom, Western Australia (report in this). I categorised the incident, based on the data I had at the time, as a follow up encounter type one. This was based on details which appeared in a 1967 book by Michael Hervey (report in this) big "UFOs Uninteresting the Southern Hemisphere." Horwitz. Sydney. My catalogue door read:CATALOGUE:"Population called order to tell them they had observed a cigar-shape stony taking into consideration windows which shone taking into consideration red, white, ocher and blonde lights. Present-day was a red tail, and it was undeniable fifty metres crave, being purely undeniable ten metres terminated the ground." (Hervey, p.157.)I catalogued it, based on this information and didn't enlarge straddling any ended corporal on the incident until this appointment. I was schoolwork a RAAF UFO file (file series A703, control symbol 580/1/1 part 4.) Pages 152-161 of this file local four eye witness reports and a sketch.SKETCH:The sketch, was to say the minimum, emotional. It stand facing a crave, cylindrical object taking into consideration extreme edges. Present-day are eight, patio, windows from which red, white, ocher and blonde light is indicated to enlarge. Present-day is a blue repeal come into flower, and a red tail. The object is off over hills and the reach your zenith of the object terminated these, is indicated as "between 30 feet and 19,000(?) feet." I suppose the ten metres (30 feet) mentioned in the catalogue door comes from this gush.But, an standpoint of the sketch shows that none of the witnesses drew it. The drawing, says on it, that it was by a Const (supposedly order constable) Roce "...from descriptions of tied reports."THE WITNESSES:Present-day are four completed proformas on the file, by Antoni Uchanski; Gary Juszcyk; Edo Rossi and Alexander Brian Aloof.UCHANKSI was a hoist driver. At about 3am on 2 Aug 1964, for a number of one minute, he saw the object. He was to be found outskirts a shadowing bin at ABA mine in Wittenoom. Opportunity from dejected a hill, the object travelled terminated the Hammersley Ranges. His attention was lower-level by a "lay the blame on of light in the sky." The evidence object was "resembling to a rocket." Equally asked about the colour of the object, he wrote "Colour of object not well-known." He did letter it had yellow-orange light impending from it, and blue follow up to the object. As to shape, he wrote "Appeared as a rocket. Build longer than aeroplane." He wrote "no" to the question "Was any detail of structure observed?" Present-day was no convincing at all.To the question of reach your zenith, he wrote "Crispy to say. Possibly will not inform. But at minimum 30 feet terminated the ranges." Approximately speed, he wrote "Imaginary to be the incredibly speed as Fokker-Friendship, excessive ground speed at appropriation." The object travelled south-west to north-east, in a proper line. Present-day was a "path of red flicker." It was lost "dejected a hill." The weather was celebrated, visibility clear.JUSZCZYK was a stir skipper at the mine. It was at 3am, ranking 2 minutes. Top seen impending from dejected a hill, the object appeared "because a rocket." The colour of the object was "not well-known." Present-day were ocher and blonde lights pivot the shape. Present-day was no convincing. He estimated its reach your zenith terminated the ground as 200 - 300 feet terminated the ranges. Its speed was about 200-250mph. It travelled horizontally. Gary thought the object travelled from south to north, from the mine towards the municipality. It travelled in a proper line, until lost from mind over the ranges. Present-day was a path of red from its repeal.ROSSI was a scrape foreman, subsequent to at 3 am for about 1 minute he saw a light impending from dejected a hill, looking "resembling to a rocket." It had red lights and white lights in windows. The non-discriminatory colour of the object itself was unnamed. Its shape was "resembling to an aeroplane introduction, but longer and wider." It was muted. It seemed "about 100 feet terminated the ranges." Dart - about "the incredibly as a Fokker Overtone." It was travelling south to north in a proper line and went out of mind over the ranges, dejected a hill.So far, we shoulder a trustworthy portrayal from three witnesses, all at the Wittenoom mine. At 3 am a silent, rocket-like object, came from dejected one hill, travelled straddling the sky in a proper line and passed on, between 1-2 minutes consequent, dejected another hill. It moved south to north. It was emitting combination colours. It had a red tail. One witness reported seeing "windows." Best estimates variation between 30 feet and 300 feet.ELDER:Present-day is a fourth witness report form on the file, from an Alexander Brian Aloof. Aloof was an electrician, but he was not at the mine subsequent to he sighted the object. He states he was "on the marks between instant and third crossings in Wittenoom Interruption, travelling south from the town to ABA mine." He says he at first saw one object, at 3.10am, "impending from dejected a hill on the side of the Wittenoom Interruption." His attention was lower-level to a evidence glowing light. But, the evidence object became in the least objects. Present-day were "approx six or seven objects - the crave object appeared as a stain of light attended by discs of light." Their colour was golden-yellow. Present-day was no structure marked and no convincing was heard. he estimated its reach your zenith as "over 20,000 feet." Its speed was "Oversee 90 degrees in 2 minutes." The object was travelling south to north from ABA mine to townsite. The object travelled in a proper line and passed on dejected another hill.Exceptionally OBJECT:Anyway the 3.10am timing, Elder's deliberation appears to be of the incredibly object as that described by the other three witnesses. But, sundry them, Aloof reports seeing first one, so in the least objects.When WAS IT?Hervey's greater part for the object as fifty metres crave appears nowhere in the corporal on the RAAF file. His concentration terminated the ground of 10 meters appears lower-level from Uchanski's estimate of "at minimum 30 feet." But, he first wrote "tiring to say. Possibly will not inform" so took a suppose. Extensively estimates are 100 feet; 200-300 feet; and "over 20,000 feet."A guard of the night sky (in Sky Put cafe) as seen from Wittenoom for 3am on 2 Aug 1964 shows that the Moon was up, in the north-eastern sky. The planet Jupiter was muggy the Moon, and the planet Saturn was at 70 degrees wake up in the western sky.On schoolwork the descriptions on the file, my first worry was that the incident was due to a glowing meteor. The object was described as glowing, muted, travelling in a proper line, from horizon to horizon, and was multi-coloured. Aloof in the same way thought it consisted of in the least objects. Cleanly one witness reported seeing "windows" and inquiry of other reports of meteors and re-entering space debri ( e.g. report in this ) shoulder off that undeniable clique report seeing "windows" in these mundane events - a fraud of the brain. No details total in this are confrontational taking into consideration the object being such a glowing meteor.Far from being a follow up encounter type one incident, the 2 Aug 1964 Wittenoom incident is suitably potential to shoulder been an IFO.
