Missionary In Papua New Guinea Recounts UFO Sigthing, 50 Years Ago
William Gill was 31 years of age when he was working as a missionary in Boianai. A village in the mountains near Dogura.
His letters to David Durie, principal of St Aidan’s College, reflect his few encounters with UFO craft and his observations of humanoid like creatures in them.
read this excerpt from William Gill’s letter:
“We watched figures appear on top – four of them – no doubt that they are human.
“Two smaller UFOs were seen at the same time, stationary. One above the hills west, another overhead.
“On the large one, two of the figures seemed to be doing something near the centre of the deck . . . were occasionally bending over and raising their arms as though adjusting or setting up something (not visible).
“One figure seemed to be standing looking down at us (a group of about a dozen). I stretched my arm above my head and waved. To our surprise the figure did the same…”

IT is now 50 years since a 31-year-old Australian Anglican missionary in Papua New Guinea, William Gill, and 37 parishioners and staff made the best attested and least explained sighting of unidentified flying objects in the long, otherwise kooky history of the genre.
The day before the celebrated encounter of a mystifying kind, Gill had written a letter to David Durie, acting principal of St Aidan’s College, which trained teacher-evangelists at Dogura, then the headquarters of the church in PNG.
Gill, who was priest in charge at Boianai, a large village on the mountainous north coast of Milne Bay province, about 25km west of Dogura, told Durie of a UFO sighting by Stephen Moi, then an assistant teacher.
He wrote: “There have been quite a number of reports over the months from reliable witnesses.
“The peculiar thing about these most recent reports is that the UFOs seem to be stationary at Boanai or to travel from Boianai,” a beautiful location brilliantly captured by pioneer Australian photographer Frank Hurley in 1921. “I myself saw a stationary white light twice on the same night on April 9 . . . the assistant district officer, Bob Smith, and Mr Glover have seen it. I do not doubt the existence of these things, but my simple mind still requires scientific evidence before I can accept the from-outer-space theory. I am inclined to believe that probably many UFOs are more likely some form of electric phenomena or perhaps something brought about by the atom bomb explosions etc.
“That Stephen should actually make out a saucer could be the work of the unconscious mind, as it is very likely that at some time he has seen illustrations of some kind in a magazine.
“It is all too difficult to understand for me; I prefer to wait for some bright boy to catch one to be exhibited in Martin Place.
“Yours, Doubting William.”
The following day, he wrote again: “Dear David, life is strange, isn’t it? Yesterday I wrote you a letter, expressing opinions re the UFOs. Now, less than 24 hours later I have changed my views somewhat.
“Last night we at Boianai experienced about four hours of UFO activity, and there is no doubt whatsoever that they are handled by beings of some kind. At times it was absolutely breathtaking. Here is the report.
“Cheers, Convinced Bill.
“P.S. Do you think P. Moresby should know about this? If people think it worthwhile, I will stand the cost of a radio conversation if you care to make out a comprehensive report from the material on my behalf!!”
What had Gill and his parishioners seen?
The notes he made following his encounter describe a bright white light appearing in the northwestern sky, approaching the mission station, then hovering about 100m in the air.

Yes many many reports(in the hundreds) have been documented of usually slightly human like beings working on or about a landed craft, one as recently as 2009 in Texas USA by a large land owner and his wife.
Thru their eyes, they can not significantly interfere in the affairs of humans(as truly dire and sad as they are at this time) as its a ‘galactic law’. All intelligent beings must show on their own merits that they are able and worthy to be an advanced species.
Right now, humans are just a breathe away from self destruction, based on the male of the species exhibiting often extreme selfishness, greed, and unspeakable violence towards their own kind and the planet.
Once (most) humans are gone, the planet will again recover fully and slowly await its next batch of an ‘advanced species’ whose long term survival will (again) be in jeopardy due to its (repeated) abuse of its god given gifts to heal, love, be joyful and compassionate.
Fascinating report, which I’ve not seen before – good scoop!
I have served as a missionary in Roswell NM for over 10 years studying this topic.. While I do believe the entities are real and intentionally engaging us, I believe humanity is being deceived and set up for a “New World Order” – a one-world government possibly triggered by official government “disclosure” of the “reality” of UFOs and aliens, which I think will in fact be an engineered delusion.
Interested parties, please view the free conference videos at http://www.ChristianSymposium.com and my personal site http://www.AlienStranger.com for lots to ponder.

Yet another UFO story with no Empirical Evidence.
Yet another comment from others showing that UFOism is nothing but a faith based new religion.
Agree with the Dr!
@Dr.Homeskooled
I wouldn’t say that UFOlogy is a new faith based religion, but you do have a point. It’s easy for someone to falsely identify a flying craft as extra-terrestrial, and even easier for them to get on the 10 o’clock news.
Then it’s worse if there is “evidence”. Do a search on youtube for UFO video and you can see a lot of hoaxes. Some good, some really bad. Then, there are those videos that do look strange.
I think it’s always best to keep your head grounded but with an open mind. In other words; “Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out”.

Interesting story.
If you search for ‘humaniod sightings’ you can find a site with many similar encounters going back for decades.
I dont think William Gill is lying and I dont think he was mistaking an atmospheric anomaly for humanoids and UFO’s.
People at one time mistook rhinos for unicorns and absolutely believed the earth was flat and the sun orbited us. We still base all our notions on the simple physics we were taught at school, yet according to that same logic honey bees cannot fly, well we all know they bloody can.
Still the majority of people on this world will still hold on to their egotistical ‘know it all’ attitude to the possibility of something bigger then thier own ’safe’ paradigm by simply belittling the info and any one who takes an interest, a social control tactic employed all too successfully, use the loud ‘control freak’ minority to speak to/for the rest.
If I had that sighting I’d of made a request to leave with them. As Eric Idle once sang “Pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere out in space
‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth!”
i do not belive in ufos i think if God whanted them he would say so in the bible but i am not a beliver of ufos i am not agaist people who are. but my parents are belvers in ufods and they try to confise me to belive in them and i dont so if it sounds like i am going againts people who belive in them i am NOT so those are my words seee yea bye.
hunt, the notion that God would mention UFO’s (I assume you are meaning extraterrestrial driven craft) in the Bible if he wanted them to exist is your personal opinion. I’d watch that pushing opinion as fact stuff.
So tell me, why would God have to talk about other worldly life in the Bible? Because you say so? There is much that God doesn’t reveal and this could be part of it. Some would say that book of Ezekiel talks about aliens and their craft.
Are you sure you’re not convincing yourself of something out of fear? I am a Christian and find no reason why life can’t exist on other planets, moons, etc..
There is nothing in the Bible that says there is no other life out there. In fact There are plenty of extraterrestrials in the Bible that are spirit beings.
hunt, there is no reason that you can’t follow the Bible and open your mind at the same time. If you have a relationship with God, He will let you know what is right and wrong.
