As an academically qualified investigator I can assure you it was suicide. Sad but true.

Would that the thousands of MoD files pouring out thanks to Dave Clarke's efforts were a tenth as thorough or illuminating. Though they do have some interesting tales to tell if you can read between the lines and behind the redactions. As for the Valentich case, I guess we will never know the truth now - barring something very unexpected coming to light. And I wonder how Richard Haines' ideas about the link with Pine Gap now fare? Possibly as well as my early thoughts on Rendlesham Forest vis a vis Orford Ness and its Over the Horizon radar research programme.<br /><br />Jenny RandlesJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838967148396976077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057754116986156847.post-43491461154836463342012-08-04T17:10:02.574+01:002012-08-04T17:10:02.574+01:00Thanks for all your hard work (and the work of oth...Thanks for all your hard work (and the work of others) over the years in persevering to get these files released - and good luck in getting further papers put into the public domain. We wait in anticipation... <br /><br />It's one of these 'either or' cases, where you can select the facts that 'prove' your theory. The suicide theory seems probable, but on the facts we're given, apart from his interest in UFOs, and failing his flying exams, they're isn't really any pointers to a disturbed mind.<br /><br />I think too much is made of the crayfish 'lie', as he may have believed he could get them without pre-ordering - why not? Did he really think he was picking up passengers - or did he just hope there might be someone who wanted a hitch back?<br /><br />You can't know everything about a case - or a person's state of mind...<br /><br />PeterPeter Houghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220206139327638522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057754116986156847.post-48385911310833510132012-08-04T16:54:49.376+01:002012-08-04T16:54:49.376+01:00Hi Peter

There are still papers on it, dated outside the range of the Archives Act. I have applied for these papers under the Australian FOI. There is also a second file, now digitised in the National Archives of Australia (go to their website, search and type in VH-DSJ.)This is the search and rescue file which adds to the information on the aircraft accident file.<br /><br />Regards<br />Keith Basterfield<br />http://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com<br />keithbasterfield@yahoo.com.auPeter Houghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220206139327638522noreply@blogger.com
