The Australian National UFO conference 2002, held from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th August at the YWCA Building, Elizabeth St., Sydney was a huge success, as all who attended will agree. I gave one of the best UFO slide talks I have ever done, and all the rest of the speakers were equally outstanding. We eagerly await the next conference, when I hope to be able to speak on the mass of Qld UFO Abduction cases I have gathered, some stretching back to the 1930 s and before.
My book Australian UFOs ‘Through the Window of Time’ presents evidence which was the subject of my Sydney conference talk; namely growing evidence of a massive underground secret weapons testing base, buried deep within the vast, virtually impenetrable Burragorang Valley south of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.
Yet this is no ordinary base, as my Conference talk suggested, for as the UFO activity hereabouts indicates, those who operate this huge facility appear to be experimenting with a technology so advanced that it would have to be of extra-terrestrial origin!
All the available evidence points to the base being an American military establishment being operated with the collusion of the Australian government in a hush-hush arrangement. And, as I suggested in my talk, all this can only mean that, at some stage [and this could go back a long time] the US military have somehow established contact with some extra-terrestrial super-civilisation from whom they have obtained technical information of a fantastically advanced kind, and with which they have been experimenting, no doubt in a number of top secret bases in the USA, as well as in other widely-scattered remote places of the world involving various US-friendly governments.
This technology involves not only the production and testing of inter-gallactic saucer-type and other spacecraft, but also experiments with a time window technology, which allows spacecraft to journey from one planet to another across the vastness of space in fantastically short periods of time.
Such time-manipulative technology is certainly beyond our own present stage of scientific knowledge and extra-terrestrial involvement seems the only answer.
The mystery of the Burragorang is my baby having researched it for the past 32 years at least.
The mystery involves not just the countless UFO sightings hereabouts and elsewhere throughout the Blue Mountains over many years, but also a number of mysterious disappearances of people, campers, bushwalkers, even soldiers; not to mention Alien Abductions, which may or may not be linked with the goings-on in the Burragorang!
Aside from our usual activities of Skywatching and general research, the members of Blue Mountains UFO Research have concentrated considerable effort on the Burragorang mystery and will soon carry out an extensive field expedition into this valley from the Kanangra Boyd National Park side of the valley, investigating some mysterious happenings there lately.
Our group works in closely with the UFO Society of Western Sydney and INFORDIG on the NSW central Coast and UFORNSW, with which combined club meetings are often held. I am currently organising a meeting at Katoomba to discuss the Burragorang mystery.
The Burragorang Valley was the subject of a Skywatch by members of Blue Mountains UFO Research and UFO Society of Western Sydney on the night of June 15th out on the Narrow Neck Peninsula. It was blowing a gale but we hardy enthusiasts stuck it out and a couple of strange lights were seen. We all afterwards defrosted back at the Gilroy’s where the UFO meeting [which had begun earlier that day] continued on till late that night!
Naturally our activities have been attracting the attention of ASIO, with the CIA forever in the background. It goes without saying that these organisations are involved in the Burragorang base activities.
There is also something sinister going on out the far end of Narrow Neck Peninsula on occasions. Here an excellent view of the Burragorang can be had. Some months ago, as I mentioned in my Conference talk, while sitting alone on the clifftop observing the valley with binoculars, a helicopter intimidated me by repeated circular flights around the point where I was sitting and a cameraman filmed me with a video camera.
Yet the real mystery soon followed when I heard the sounds of helicopters coming up the Megalong Valley on my western side. This valley opens into the Burragorang. However, no helicopters could be seen although their sounds continued on into the Burragorang heading south as I stood with a clear view of both valleys before me.
Some minutes later, I spotted eight Australian Army helicopters with familiar camourflage colours hovering in the distance of the base area. Then the non-military coloured helicopter that had buzzed me earlier appeared from the north-east to join them and they all flew off to vanish behind a mountainside in the Kanangra Boyd area.
Those eight helicopters had definitely materialised from out of nowhere , yet the show was not over. I shortly afterwards spotted a light aircraft flying at cliff-level across the Burragorang from the direction of Kanangra, moving eastwards across the valley centre but to the north of Lake Burragorang [the Warragamba Dam backwaters]. As I watched with my binoculars that aircraft, at a point directly south of where I stood on the clifftop, just disappeared like a light being switched off, although its engine was still audible as it headed invisibly east!
If any military power ever possessed the technology suggested by these, and other incidents reported hereabouts, then they could do far more than make helicopters and aircraft invisible. Entire armies could be made to vanish, and re-appear in their enemies rear in a war situation. Time itself could be manipulated by placing military bases on another time zone, thus making them invisible to an enemy. By this means the mysterious phantom
City of lights, often seen by myself and other people in a remote area of the far southern side of the Burragorang Valley at night, could be made to vanish into another time zone, thus explaining why searchers who have penetrated the location in the past have found no trace of it. If this explanation sounds too fantastic to accept, then why all the secret? Why are so many military personel permanently moving about in the area? And what are American servicemen doing out there?
Consider the following: Campers who have penetrated the Burrogorang from the Kanangra side have claimed to have spotted armed units of Australian and American troops moving about in that wilderness on more than one occasion over the years. And in 1989 while hiking out to the end of Narrow Neck Peninsula one day I came upon a number of Australian Naval officer cadets in camourflage clothing complete with backpacks and automatic rifles. They had just climbed the spikes up the end of the peninsula which form part of a steep access to and from the Burragorang Valley. They had opened up a number of beer cans and I got very chatty with them. At one stage an under the weather cadet let out that they had just come off duty in the Burragorang, at which the officer cadet in charge broke of the conversation and had everyone move off.
And then there is the amusing claim of two young bushmen who once came up against a cyclone wire fence deep in the Burragorang. Finding a locked gate with a narrow track beyond, they were suddenly surprised by an American Military Policeman [uniform unmistakable] who suddenly appeared on the track.
What are you doing here? he asked. A better question would be what are you doing here , retorted one of the boys. At this the MP informed them they were in a restricted area and to get out of there at once, which they did.
Since the 1960s at least, campers penetrating the Burragorang while lying in their sleeping bags at night have heard the unmistakable sounds of machinery grinding away from underground.
There appear to be a number of tunnels with roads deep below surface linking various centres, and these tunnel systems may link other underground facilities as far afield as Coalcliff [Wollongong area], where local UFOlogists speculate there is a tunnel extending some kilometres out beneath the ocean, purpose uncertain. At least one tunnel links the eastern side of the Burragorang with the Kanangra Boyd region. There are other claims of a tunnel system linking the Central Coast with the Wollemi-Wollongambie region to the north of the Blue Mountains where another huge UFO base is believed to exist. These speculations are backed up by similar evidence to that from the Burragorang.
There have been a great many UFO incidents in the Burragorang Valley in which eyewitnesses have claimed the objects just appeared in the sky suddenly, as if out of nowhere, and soon afterward vanished in the same way, as if they have appeared from out of, and returned to a time window. This mystery is covered in my book.
Naturally my many years research into the Burragorang UFO Base mystery has not gone unnoticed by our on the ball hard-working ASIO personel. As every reader knows, my wife Heather and I have had our phone tapped regularly and our house watched for any signs of dangerous subversive activity such as taking our dog Cuddles for a walk!
On one occasion a man in a gray dustcoat persisted in driving a van back and forth past our house, slowing down so he could a have a quick look at our back yard as he passed by.
One day I happened to leave the course with Cuddles and proceeded to walk along the road up to the entrance to Narrow Neck Road. He followed us, driving past us as we entered the Narrow Neck Road [a dirt track]. He continued on for some distance, but having had enough of this fellow I decided to head for home. As we reached the entrance to the Narrow Neck Road this character passed us, giving me a smirky grin as he did so. As recent as Wednesday 14th August while walking with Cuddles I have been watched by a man on foot repeatedly using a mobile phone!
However, the best example of ASIO surveillance technique has to be the fellow who pulled up opposite our house one morning a few months ago in a Telstra-type vehicle complete with ladder on top. Taking the ladder off the vehicle he proceeded to erect it against a light pole and climbed up. His movements attracted our attention through the kitchen window.
I thought it strange that the linesman did not have a bag of tools with him, just a screwdriver which he took from a pocket and commenced obviously pretending to work on something. It was a wonder he was not electrocuted, I thought. However, going out into the back yard I began playing with Cuddles, and from behind the roadside fence I distincly heard him say “He’s playing with his dog”. I peered through a crack in the fence boards and could see he was using a mobile phone.
I began throwing a ball for Cuddles to catch, at which the linesman spoke into his phone “He’s throwing a ball for his dog, I think he called it Cuddles”. I proceeded to go into our garage, at which I heard this loudmouth say “He’s now going into his garage”. I came out, at which I heard “He’s back outside.” And on it went “He’s throwing the ball to his dog again, He’s patting his dog”. I went inside but hiding out of view heard him say “He’s gone into the house.” As I watched through the kitchen window the linesman took down the ladder, put it back on the vehicle, and sat at the driver’s seat reading a book. Then for devillment I returned to the back yard, at which out came the ladder and the workman proceeded to climb up again. However, this time he had forgotten his screwdriver. Instead, he produced a small set of binoculars from a pocket and commenced observing me moving about the yard. At one point he was doing a balancing act with the binoculars in one hand and his mobile phone in the other. I went inside the house, got my own binoculars and returned. Hiding behind a shrub, as he continued to watch the back yard obviously keeping an eye on the subversive ball-playing of Cuddles I leapt out and stood looking up at him with my own binoculars. Obviously he had seen the ludicrous side of it all, grinned and climbed down, folded up the ladder, placed it back on the vehicle, got in and departed.
The foregoing is an example of your tax dollars at work. With secret agents such as these Australians need not fear for their country’s security, and with Uncle Sam out there in force in the Burrgorang Valley we can all sleep soundly at night.
There is of course a serious side to all this surveillance and this article is barely scratching the surface. In Part Two we shall examine other aspects of the Burragorang Valley mystery, which centres upon Blue Mountains, Alien Abduction cases, and people who have stepped through the Window of Time.
