PREFACE
The UFO which exploded over a vast, desolate timber property in
Queensland, Australia, scattered its intricate, eerily beautiful
wreckage for several kilometres.
Most of the pieces were collected by officers from the Royal
Australian Air Force which, without public announcement,
immediately despatched the material to the Pentagon laboratories
for testing.
But some of the wreckage was retrieved by private investi-
gators—among them, the authors.
This book chronicles our search for the smashed building blocks
of what must have been “an aerial palace”. It reproduces the
commentaries of eminent scientists, perplexed by material whose
nature has defied their understanding; and summates the research
project in the United States, which shows that the wreckage con-
tains “unknowns”.
The Queensland explosion has opened new vistas in aerial
phenomenon research—chiefly because private citizens, for the
first time, have managed to breach the iron wall of military secrecy
that surrounds UFOs, to make fundamental new discoveries.
But the work, our scientific associates believe, has only just
begun. And the long, sad history of military coverups on UFOs
convinces us that subsequent research should not be conducted on
narrowly nationalistic lines.
That is why, in the postscript to this book, we offer all the
Queensland UFO pieces in our possession to the United Nations for
further analysis.
The Queensland explosion transcends the hardnosed, militaristic
interests of the RAAF and the Pentagon.
The gorgeous, hectically-colored wreckage retrieved from Green-
bank promises to yield up scientific secrets that should be shared by
all mankind.
