 A short moving picture taken by a Department of Civil Aviation official in New Guinea may solve the flying-saucer mystery.

      The Federal Government has sent the film to U.S.A. for special processing.

      The film was taken with a telephoto lens at Port Moresby by Mr. T. C. Drury on August 23 last year, when he noticed "a cloud building up as though being formed by vapor trails."

      He said: “Suddenly an object appeared from one side of it and climbed very fast in a roughly northwesterly direction.”

      “It appeared to be some type of very high-speed aircraft, not a civil aircraft.”

      “In any case, from the extreme altitude of the object, it certainly could not have been a civil aircraft.”
