Biography
Australia's leading UFO researcher, with a background in chemistry and mathematics (University of New England) and five decades of fieldwork. He was the Australian representative of APRO (1978–1986) and MUFON state representative for New South Wales (1976–1993), and a contributing editor of the International UFO Reporter. His distinctive contribution is documentary and institutional: he was the first civilian researcher allowed to review the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) UFO files, work he synthesized in his book 'The Oz Files: The Australian UFO Story' (1996). He represents the rigorous, archival wing of Australian ufology, attentive to the difference between the documented case and the legend.
