History

Disclosure Australia compiled Australian government and military documents relating to UFO sightings, with holdings spanning from the 1920s through the 2000s. The collection includes official correspondence, radar reports (such as an unidentified target observed on radar on 5 May 1954), confidential nomination forms, and military reports on flying object sightings. The material documents the Australian government's engagement with the UFO question across multiple decades, drawing on records from the Department of Defence, the RAAF, and other agencies.

Significance

Disclosure Australia provides primary source documentation of the Australian government's official response to UFO sightings over nearly a century. The inclusion of radar reports, internal military correspondence, and confidential forms offers researchers direct access to government records that parallel the better-known American declassification efforts.
