Australian Newspaper (The Australian Jewish Times)

History

The Australian Jewish Times was a Sydney-based weekly newspaper serving the Jewish community in New South Wales and beyond. It operated as a companion publication to Melbourne's Australian Jewish News, providing local coverage of community affairs, cultural life, and general interest features from a Sydney perspective.

The archive holds clippings from 1970 to 1985, a period that includes the major Australian sighting waves of the 1970s, the disappearance of Frederick Valentich over Bass Strait in 1978, and the gradual decline of official RAAF interest in UFO reports. The paper's coverage reflects how these events filtered into Sydney's community press during a particularly active period for Australian UFO research.
