The Basterfield/Chalker Archives
There is well over a century of experience and diligent digging into the UAP mystery shared between Australia’s two top researchers in the field, Bill Chalker and Keith Basterfield. Here, with their kind permission, much of their extraordinary contribution to UAP research to date is preserved on the NHIR Institute website as a collated searchable public archive for the first time, interrogatable with the latest AI technology, allowing their data to be shared far beyond Australia’s shores.
South Australian Keith Basterfield is perhaps most respected for his ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com website where he has developed a reputation for methodically researching breaking UAP news by doing field research and combing public records, interviews, online podcasts, social media and both historical and contemporary books on the subject. Keith’s shrewd eye often picks up on overlooked fresh angles that deliver new insights into the phenomenon. Keith is also a major contributor to the project1947.com website, a world-wide effort to document the origins of anomalous phenomena.
Bill Chalker is also a giant in the scientific study of UAPs. Trained as a mathematician and chemist, Bill is one of those rare scientists with the capacity to present his data in a compelling and entertaining way for popular media consumption as well as earning the wide respect of his international peers for his diligently researched investigation reports. His reports on the TheOzFiles.blogspot.com have drawn an international following not just for what they reveal about UAP sightings but because of what they also teach about how to scientifically investigate an event with objectivity and care.
Many of the official Australian Government UAP documents Bill Chalker secured from Defence Department archives over 40 years ago are not available on the official Australian Government National Archives website. In 1982, in a laudable display of transparency by Australia’s Air Force UAP investigators, Bill secured extraordinary access to read and copy much of the RAAF’s original UAP files before they were handed over to the Archives decades later.
For some curious reason the original versions of many of those very significant UAP files copied by Bill inside RAAF offices did not find their way to the National Archives for declassification under the Archives’ disclosure laws.
The copies of the lost original UAP files that Bill recovered within the RAAF offices four decades ago are available here in their entirety on the NHIR Institute website as digitally searchable documents for the very first time.
Some of this preserved UAP history is indeed internationally significant. One classic example of this is an official UAP sighting report from a US deputy base commander and an Australian fireman at the then US-operated North West Cape’s Harold E. Holt Naval Communications Station. This facility is where, even today, in the event of nuclear war, the US President’s nuclear war launch order would be sent out via Very Low Frequency signals to attack submarines in the Indian Ocean.
In October1973, as the world teetered on the brink of nuclear war in the Middle East, the witnesses in these extraordinary sightings reports described a strange black sphere hovering adjacent to the remote WA base; something/someone was taking an interest in one of America’s most sensitive military facilities around the very time the US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had escalated the alert for America’s nuclear forces to Defcon 3.
The sightings report from witnesses at the top secret facility is nowhere to be found in Australia’s official archive of declassified UAP files; it would be lost to history were it not for Chalker’s persistence 40 years ago.
Bill Chalker and Keith Basterfield’s work is so vast, each having worked on UAP investigations for over five decades, that until now it has been impossible to provide a curated forum online where their entire archives can be searched and cross-referenced with similar data from overseas. Both Bill and Keith have done the hard work over many years, to honour the notion that UFOs-UAPs truly are a phenomenon capable and worthy of being scientifically investigated.
It is the hope of both Chalker and Basterfield that their work will find a new audience, both domestically here in Australia and overseas, with the new capacities offered here by AI search engines.
Using the AI technology built into this platform you can ask questions about the ideas behind the phenomenon – anti-gravity, the consciousness connection, abductions, Zero-point energy, declassified Government files, paranormal and supernatural events etc.
The NHIR Institute thanks Keith Basterfield and Bill Chalker for their trust and kindness in allowing this archive of their work to be digitised and made available here online.
