Whoopsie!!!!Australian Government Loses All Its UFO Files

Two months ago, an Australian newspaper submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to its government seeking files pertaining to UFO sightings across the country.

Government officials have just come back empty handed. The UFO files, they said, seem to have gone missing.

"The files could not be located and Headquarters Air Command formally advised that this file is deemed lost," the Australia Department of Defense's FOI assistant director, Natalie Carpenter, told the Sydney Morning Herald, the newspaper that made the request.



Two months spent (presumably) thumbing through drawers turned up only one UFO-related file, Carpenter said, called "Report on UFOs/Strange Occurrences and Phenomena in Woomera." It documents a series of sightings in and around a military weapons testing range in the Australian outback.
