Boring is good in this flying business. Being shot at or attacked by UFO's is best left to others.
so right there, By George.
(The late George Roberts, a lifelong Qantas engineer, wrote a fine little memoir of his life. He called it 'Qantas - By George' .. .. what else?)
OFOs . . . . . Bruce Cathie, a NZ airline pilot, wrote a number of books that documented many strange sighting in and around NZ, some from aircraft, others terrestrial.
From wiki -
Bruce Leonard Cathie (1930 – 2 June 2013) was a New Zealand airline pilot who wrote seven books related to flying saucers and a "World energy grid".
His central thesis was that the laws of mathematics describe a grid-like pattern on the earth that powers flying saucers and controls the dates and places where nuclear bombs can function. He claimed to have successfully predicted the detonation time of an early French nuclear test using his harmonic "mathematics", which is based around trigonometry and geophysical latitude/longitude coordinates.
His discoveries are in the same vein of research as Einstein's "unified field theory", where gravity, time and space and their relation therein can all be expressed in one equation It is claimed that the US military attempted on more than one occasion to silence him, offering bribes in the millions.
Cathie claimed that he first saw a flying saucer over the Manukau Harbour, Auckland in 1952 and in discussions with other airline pilots discovered this wasn't uncommon.
His first book Harmonic 33, was published in New Zealand in 1968 and reprinted in the United Kingdom by Sphere Books in 1980.
New Zealand millennial author Barry Smith claimed to have received his information on restrictions on nuclear weapons from Cathie.
An interview with him was played in the fourth episode of the fourth series of the US television program In Search of....
Cathie died in Takapuna in 2013.
