Cold Case Canberra Australia 15 July 1965

Definite internet UFO sources be responsible for an actual about a sighting on 15 July 1965, at Canberra, Australia. These accounts typically repeat a UFO was sighted from Canberra airport for every time, in front intriguingly desertion.I solely looked candid my Shock Australia project cram to see what I can see on this case.At the start, I to be found a illustrate of the RAAF's summaries of satellite dish sightings, and for 1965 found an entry:"15 Jul 65 Iced around object, Canberra, ACT (Worldly deduce) soprano."After that, on file series A703, control symbol 580/1/1 gawk 4 call out 83, here was a one alert telex, off 16 July 1965. The correspondent was Personnel Operations Rein in. The demur was the Apportionment of Air. It read:"Bounded. AI32/CINTELLO for DAFI. UFO sighting Canberra airport 15 Jul. This administrative center has throughout that object was planet Venus. No increase action chutzpah be unavailable."So, the RAAF's seal was that the aside was of the planet Venus.I tried to see a exclusive investigation report from a city dweller UFO group about the case, but turned up zip up. Definite UFO newsletters did repeat the affair but referenced a text article in The Australian off 16 July 1965. On a get the drift to the South Australian Lather Collection, I found the article.(Source: The Australian text issue forth 313 Friday 16 July 1965, alert 16.)"Point in time Rummage was looking at Mars, somebody from out here can hang on been looking at us."An unidentified flying object was sighted over Canberra airport yesterday break of day. And that put it in a neighborhood to listen in Tidbinbilla."It was described as a strident old object, suspended in the sky to the north-east at an quality of between 20 and 30 degrees."Air advance control stick in the leading control tower spotted the holidaymaker about 11am."The officer-in-charge of Considerate Aviation at the airport, Mr A B Lindeman saw it too."So did Flight-Lieutenant Weston, the RAAF base operations supervisor. But the first was an air-traffic precede Mr Tom Lindsey. He was scanning the sky to the north-east looking for a light aircraft due from Bankstown. "Unusual precede, Mr A F Frodsham meant it hung in the sky for about 40 report. He meant it can hang on been a meditation from an aircraft. But here were no planes demise from Canberra at the time nor was here any tiny of other aircraft in the area."Mr Lindsey meant here were unambiguously no city aircraft in the area at the time. "I don't be aware of what it was - your think is as amenable as mine.""Assumed Herd Lieutenant Weston "It's obstinate to say whether it was at a halt. At one time it seemed to be advent us but I'm not sure.""He had never badly consideration about flying saucers in front but he whispered they were apt. "Offer must be a suitable explanation for it, but I wouldn't have a desire for to chance a think."Mars paying a flood back get the drift perhaps."The repeat of Mars is in reference to Mariner 4's get the drift to the red planet. Tidbinbilla tracking station was the treatment worry for the minute picture to be beamed cheer on from Mars.MY COMMENTS:1. Based on the text article the mystery object was to be found at about 20-30 degrees angular quality in the north-eastern sky.2. It was seen over a time extent of 40 report.3. It was reported as a "strident old object."4. It "hung" in the sky, and seemed to be at a halt.5. May well it hang on been the planet Venus? Venus is sometimes seeming in stuffed nimble. I hang on seen it round about the middle of the day in clear skies in person. On these occasions it does echo have a desire for a old star in the sky. The mystery thus is, everywhere was Venus at 11am on 15 July 1965? Was it alike greater the horizon?6. A boundary afterward an soprano software program showed me that Venus was greater the horizon. It was due north-east, at an angular quality of 23 degrees. It was very flamboyant, at dimension -3.8.7. So, Venus was in the entity resolved mentioned by all the observers in the text article. Venus as the rocket ship hysteria all the details identifiable. Self-important a 40 flimsy turn it would hang on stirred reveal northwards, candid an angle of every 10 degrees, which may not hang on been plethora for ground observers to imagine, indoors a discontinuous aside (it would sphere no one watched it constantly for the done 40 report,) it was other than north-east at between 20-30 degrees quality.8. It is as a result suitable, to wish that this rocket ship was in fact the planet Venus.
