THE defence department has been unable to find a host of records relating to UFO sightings collected over several decades.
The disappearance of the documents came to light when the military received a freedom of information request from the Sydney Morning Herald Newspaper asking for any documents mentioning sightings of UFOs or “extraterrestrial organisms” in Australia.
However, after two months of searching the relevant archives, the department said the documents could not be found. UFO experts in Australia believe the military knowingly shredded the documents.
