My life changed dramatically in [952. This was the year tha~ I saw.:my 'first UFO. The obje'ct was hovering over the Manukau Harbour, Auckland City, New Zealand, in the early evening twilight, and carried out manoeuvres that _ no known man-made vehicle could accomplish at that time. The thing, what­ ever it was, had an intensely brilliant white light, with a smaller glowing red light some distance from it, and for about twenty minutes held myself and other wiOlesses spellbound as it went through a series of right-angle turns, then disappeared straight up into a clear evening sky. Ever since that time I have collected every bit of information available on the UFO phe­ nomena. During my thousands of hours of flying I h.ave searched the skies constantly and been rewarded with many other sightings. As time went on, I was infonned by many other 'airline pilots in New Zealand that they, too, were sighting objects for which they could find no explanation. It became obvious that either we were being observed by some son of advanced vehicles coming in from outer space, or that some scientific group on Eanh had discovered a principle of physjcs unknown to ,the rcst of us and that secret research was 'being carried 011t. I am now sure that both views were correct and that much is being kept from the public. Over the years I have studied a great deal of material published by other invcstigating groups, and came to the conclusion that no real progress could be made in discovcring the purpose of UFO activity through lhis means. The main body of investigators have con­ fined their activity to collating masses of sighting rep.om, filing them away and then doing no.thing else with the infonnation. Several of these larger well-known international groups I suspect of being nothing morc than covers for intelligence organisations which gather information on public awareness of UFO activity. I decided long ago that me only way to tackle the problem would be to plot all the areas of activity and try to fmd some logical mathematicall order in the hovering positions or flight paths of the unknowns. To this purpose, I studied me methods of a Frcnchman by the name of Aime Michel who had also endeavoured to find a mathematical order of this nature. He had had partial success and managed to find several Lrack lines with equally­ spaced activity in the European area. Just when he appeared to be onto something, for some unknown reason he ahan.doned this line of research ,and' publicly proclaimed that nothing could be accomplished by this method. After studying his early attcmpts, I con­ sidered that there was a defmite logic in his fmdings and decided that I would carry on my own research using 'his basic methods. I struck gold, apd ever since I plotted the first two Lrack lines at right angles in the New Zealand area, I have continucd to progress and advance my scientific knowledge in areas which otherwise would nonnally be completely foreign to me. Along the way I have taken much flack from the academic world, and from those who profess to know all the answers-that is, in public. But [behind the scenes it has been a different story. Over the years I have had many direct communications from members of intelligence organisations, top scientific circles and government agencies wishing to know what my latest fmdings are, and requesting copies of ccnaiP. parts of my work. Once I had established ,the two Lrack lines, I was able to fonn a complete grid nctwork over the whole of the New Zealand area by gradually plotting onto the map the most reli­ able UFO sightings. The pattern consisted of lines spaced at thirty-minute intervals orien­ tated just on six degrees displacement from true north. Eventually, two similar grids were found to De interlocked with each other, creating rather a complex pattern which could be funher reduced to lines with a spacing of seven-and-one-half minutes.
