Australia’s military loses UFO X-Files

newspaper report said yesterday.
After a two-month search in response to a newspaper Freedom of Information request, which forces government officials to release documents of public interest, Australia’s Department of Defence had been unable to locate the files, the Sydney Morning Herald said.
“The files could not be located and Headquarters Air Command formally advised that this file is deemed lost,” the department’s FOI assistant director, Natalie Carpenter, told the paper. Defence officials could not be contacted by Reuters.
The only file Defence had been able to locate was a folder called: “Report on UFOs/Strange Occurrences and Phenomena in Woomera”, a military weapons testing range in the centre of Australia’s vast outback, Carpenter said.
All other files had been lost or destroyed, which the Herald said could fuel conspiracy theories about their disappearance.
The single remaining file detailed a sket-chy series of sightings from around the cou-ntry and overseas, including people living in towns near Woomera, in South Australia state. X Files, named after a popular US television science fiction programme, refer to supposed government records detailing paranormal mysteries, usually involving fictitious alien species. – Reuters Life!
