Description:
Martin Willis interviews Bill Chalker — one of Australia’s most respected UFO researchers — returns for a deep dive into historic Australian UFO encounters that shaped the country’s extraordinary UFO legacy.
From the mysterious 1868 Parramatta contact case and the 1927 Fernvale “Mothman-style” phenomenon, to the postwar wave of landings and close encounters, Bill brings decades of meticulous research, field investigations, and scientific inquiry to light. With his background in chemistry and forensic analysis, Bill discusses how historical cases still hold valuable clues to the modern UAP mystery, and how Australia’s UFO story connects to the global enigma.
BIO:
Bill Chalker Intrigued by UFO reports since about 1966, when his home town of Grafton, in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, became the focus of UFO activity that attracted national headlines, Bill began undertaking deeper research and investigations from 1969, when his home region of northern NSW again became the focus of UFO reports.
The 1969 publication of the notorious Condon Report, which concluded that there was nothing of scientific value in studying UFOs, had a different effect on Bill. Unlike most, he examined the massive report and realised there was a massive disconnection between the conclusions and the actual case studies. More than a third of their cases were unexplained. This set Bill on a deeper investigation of the UFO enigma. He joined the American based APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organisation) group, which confirmed his growing awareness of the global dimensions of the UFO mystery.
