From Bruce Cathie - A New Zealand Airline Pilot
My life changed dramatically in 1952. This was the year that I saw my first UFO. The object was hovering over the Manukau Harbour, Auckland City, New Zealand, in the early evening twilight, and carried out manoeuvres that no known man-made vehicle could accomplish at that time. The thing, whatever it was, had an intensely brilliant white light, with a smaller glowing red light some distance from it, and for about twenty minutes held myself and other witnesses spellbound as it went through a series of right-angle turns, then disappeared straight up into a clear evening sky.
Ever since that time I have collected every bit of information available on the UFO phenomena. During my thousands of hours of flying I have searched the skies constantly and been rewarded with many other sightings. As time went on, I was informed by many other airline pilots in New Zealand that they, too, were sighting objects for which they could find no explanation. It became obvious that either we were being observed by some sort of advanced vehicles coming in from outer space, or that some scientific group on Earth had discovered a principle of physics unknown to the rest of us and that secret research was being carried out.
I am now sure that both views were correct and that much is being kept from the public. Over the years I have studied a great deal of material published by other investigating groups, and came to the conclusion that no real progress could be made in discovering the purpose of UFO activity through this means. The main body of investigators have confined their activity to collating masses of sighting reports, filing them away and then doing nothing else with the information. Several of these larger well-known international groups I suspect of being nothing more than covers for intelligence organisations which gather information on public awareness of UFO activity.
I decided long ago that the only way to tackle the problem would be to plot all the areas of activity and try to find some logical mathematical order in the hovering positions or flight paths of the unknowns. To this purpose, I studied the methods of a Frenchman by the name of Aimé Michel who had also endeavoured to find a mathematical order of this nature. He had had partial success and managed to find several track lines with equally-spaced activity in the European area. Just when he appeared to be onto something, for some unknown reason he abandoned this line of research and publicly proclaimed that nothing could be accomplished by this method. After studying his early attempts, I considered that there was a definite logic in his findings and decided that I would carry on my own research using his basic methods. I struck gold, and ever since I plotted the first two track lines at right angles in the New Zealand area, I have continued to progress and advance my scientific knowledge in areas which otherwise would normally be completely foreign to me.
