On aircraft interference by UAPs/UFOs - SW USA (circa 2013-14) & suburban Sydney Australia (1994) - some correlations

 Watching "The UFO Cover-up" episode of the the US History channel/TTSA programme "Unidentified" (Season 2, Episode 6) I was intrigued by the information described to Luis Elizondo by an anonymous investigator for the DOD.  He appeared on the show silhouetted, with his voice disguised.  This person indicated his 20 years with DOD were focused on "the goal of attempting to discern foreign threats to our equities."  He described a UAP/UFO case around 2013-2014 he alleged he directly investigated, that involved 2 brand new military attack helicopters, with test pilots at the controls, undertaking "some pretty stressful manoeuvres," in the south west of the USA, in a corridor "from Northern Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, Southern Alabama and then out east towards around the middle of Georgia."

The source stated, "Now, I know that's a large swath of territory, but, you know, again, we're talking about helicopters, which can cover a large swath of territory when they're training."

"It's broad daylight, and what happens is one of the pilots looks out to the right side of their aircraft, and they notice three glowing orbs that are in a triangular formation just within the vicinity of the aircraft.

(From the History channel"s "Unidentified")

"Well, these orbs maintained the same altitude, the same speed with the helicopter, and then it really started to get interesting, because as the pilot is conducting the manoeuvres to put this brand new helicopter under its stress test, he experiences a power fluctuation; and when he experiences this power fluctuation he starts to descend rapidly, which we would call a "total failure." The pilot looked over to the right side again, noticed these three orbs descending with the helicopter.  And then all of a sudden, the helicopter starts going into an uncontrolled descent, at which point he grabs the stick, looks up, and these orbs are gone."

(From the History Channel's "Unidentified")

The helicopter seems to have started behaving normally after the "orbs" were gone.  The investigator reported the event to his superiors and a committee was formed, that uncovered at least another 7 similar helicopter related cases involving "orbs', but the committee seemed peculiarly to go all out to figure out what was going on.  The investigator stated, "The consensus was like, "All right, make a note.  Maybe somebody will pay attention at some point, but if we have no data points coming in, then we're just spinning our wheels."

Well, curious indeed.  Seems to me at least 8 similar events would represent at hell of a lot of "data points" to investigate, but I guess we are just getting a limited account tailored to the argument under enquiry in the programme, that maybe some agency (hopefully from a friendly power), such as the US Air Force, might be deploying advanced systems or hardware to gather data on friendly asset ("equities")/UAP/UFO encounters, under such operations as contemporary upgrades of programs like Project Palladium or the more current drone swarm programmes such as the Nemesis programme - perhaps, or perhaps not, explanatory threads for the Nimitz encounter and other more recent cases, using different agencies in "hot" undisclosed "war games" to test secret technology. Maybe the thinking in these highly contested fields of potential warfare, agencies have lept into a new dynamic of inflicting "new gear" on friendly turf - better that, finding the "bugs" in friendlier "games" rather than in hostile situations.  A lot of players argue that many of the encounters are beyond our current abilities & technologies and suggest inter-agency "warfare" games, keeping one side in the dark to monitor the fallout, seems unlikely.

What I do suggest is unlikely is that those sorts of possibilities were involved in the following event that also played out in daylight, over suburban Sydney, Australia, back in 1994. This encounter led to a civilian pilot into a potentially highly dangerous mid air encounter.  Such encounters are not rare in the annuals of UFO research.  The group NARCAP specialised in pilot/UAP/UFO encounters for decades.  Writers like Jenny Randles & Jerome Clark have written about such encounters ("Something in the Air"(1998) & "Strange Skies" (2003).

Some current players in the UAP/UFO game may benefit enormously from examining the evidence gathered by UFO researchers for decades.  Think about it. 

Here is a case I suspect wasn't a product of an advanced secret programme, drones etc:

AERIAL TERROR OVER SYDNEY’s WESTERN SUBURBS

 – a pilots dramatic encounter in 1994 

In March 2010 intense media attention was focused on a set of unusual photos taken in the Sydney suburb of Chipping Norton. UFOs were in the news again. Here I focus focus on a story that emerged as a consequence of the publicity. I received an email from a pilot as follows (with some editing): 

Hello Bill, 

I saw you this morning with Kerri-Ann(you are looking well). I met you 19 years ago when a friend and I reported a sighting at Picnic Point on 1 Dec 1991 (12:30am). Amazingly, you advised us at this time that we would probably see another incident in our lifetimes. 

Attached is a document where I have detailed an incident that occurred to me (and another friend), on 10 April 1994. For reasons I have noted below, I did not keep a record of this incident at the time. 

At the time of the incident, I was trying to obtain my private pilot licence. I copped some pretty severe ridicule from friends and acquaintances who I told of my earlier incident. So I did not report this second incident in case CASA found out about it and deemed me to be crazy. I eventually got my pilot licence in 1998 and the subject seems to be more acceptable these days. 

In any case the reason I have decided to let you know about this is because it occurred so close to the recent Chipping Norton report and also the two objects that I witnessed were flying very close to each other, similarly to the small objects in the right field of the photo. 

I was taking my first passenger on a flight into the Bankstown training (area). We departed Bankstown at about 10:30am. We had been flying for about 30 minutes (and we were at 2,000 feet) when (the passenger) advised me that she was feeling air sick and she wanted to return to the airport. 

We were headed in a northerly direction just south of the Warragamba to Prospect reservoir pipeline. We were approximately over Badgerys or Kemps Creek. As I began to descend to 1,500 feet (the approach altitude for Bankstown), to our right and just above us I saw two saucer shaped objects which were glowing brightly of sparkling gold. They were about 1. 5 kms away. 

The objects followed our descent to 1,500 feet and during this time I noted that they were performing impossible aerial acrobatic manoeuvres. Firstly, they were flying very close to each other, then on top of each other and then visa versa all within about 40cm. Each craft was between 2 to 3 meters across and about half a meter in depth. 

As we approached the pipeline, I began to turn to the east to follow it to the reservoir. Both objects turned with us and took a course directly in front of us at the same altitude. 

As I tried to halt our descent at 1,500 ft I found that the aircraft continued to descend. I applied full power in an attempt to arrest the fall. This put our revs into the red zone however our descent continued. 

Knowing that I could maintain these high revs for only 1 or 2 minutes, I thought that I was experiencing some kind of engine malfunction. I began looking around for a suitable place to perform an emergency landing. 

The two objects remained in front of us and continued their impossible manoeuvres. I asked (my passenger) ‘What are they’; she replied that she did not know. 

I then turned the radio to the ATIS weather for Bankstown to check if the wind had suddenly started to blow strongly from the east. I found this not to be the case. 

The objects were still there as I then turned the radio back to Bankstown tower frequency. 

When I looked up from the radio, the two objects had vanished. Simultaneously the engine began to over-rev and the aircraft immediately began to regain altitude. I pulled back the throttle. 

I asked (my passenger) if she saw where they went. She said that she thought that they had slowed, then descended and had passed underneath us. 

We then proceeded to Bankstown where we made a normal approach and landing. 

The Kerrie-Anne reference was to Kerrie-Anne Kennerley on whose Channel 9 TV show “Mornings” I had appeared on.

The reference to CASA relates to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority - the government body that regulates Australian aviation safety, which licenses pilots, registers aircraft and oversees safety.

I subsequently conducted an interview with the pilot, examined his log and gone over records, maps and other matters to detail this intriguing sighting, which powerfully suggests that whatever UFOs are, they represent a potential hazard to our aircraft, and for this reason alone (there are of course many other reasons) the UFO mystery should be taken seriously and should be investigated openly by science. 

The pilot would report another curious sighting of a strange cone shaped object seen from his suburban Sydney home in daylight on 13 March 2011. He remains puzzled by each of his sightings, as I do, but most of all his frightening April 1994 aircraft remained the most confronting for him.
