UFO archive sighting IN 1982, Bill Chalker became the first civilian to be given access to the government's tightly-held UFO files in Canberra, some of which were previously classified. Mr Chalker, considered by many in the field to be Australia's leading UFO researcher, accessed the Department of Defence UFO files during several visits to the Canberra headquarters of the Directorate of Air Force Intelligence. He said there were ''hundreds'' of documents, many of which he photocopied. He said it was ''astonishing'' the files were now missing. He noted most of the files had been transferred to National Archives Australia in Canberra, and that he had accessed those archives just a few months ago. ''Some of those UFO documents would still be classified, and would not be available for viewing,'' Mr Chalker said. ''But the Department of Defence would have surely found the hundreds of other files if they just headed down to National Archives and looked.'' But a spokeswoman said two months of searching had failed to uncover the files, which she said had also included a search of National Archives. ''The real story here is, why would they [the department] make that response?'' Mr Chalker said. He said many of the UFO files were now available on the National Archives website.

Very odd that the files that were previously readable go missing.
