Cold Cases Project Hibal

Hi allINTRODUCTION:In a aged post I suggested that assured Australian UFO reports may accept been caused by stratospheric inflate flights.I slightly had the Publicly owned Records of Australia digitise four Be clear HIBAL files, which was a project which flew stratospheric balloons in Australia, between 1960 and 1969, and whose balloons may accept caused assured UFO reports.THE Series SERIES:Lay down B441, control symbol 70/002919 parts 1 to 4 is good "USA Senior Atmospheric Sampling - HIBAL - Mildura." The four files were owned by the Australian Workplace of Meteorology.THE PROJECT:The use of high smooth balloons for numerical research has a craving history (report taking part in). Be clear HIBAL in Australia was as an individual approved at a congregation of the Defence Command on 20 October 1960 as propose intention 91/1960 as part of Be clear "Ash-Can." The functioning agency for the USA was the US Minute Cause to move Commission and for Australia it was the Demarcation of Pile up.Be clear HIBAL was originated to look into radioactivity in the view at heights which possibly will not be reached by aircraft (See earlier posts on Exercise Crowflight in Australia.) The functioning base for the Be clear was Mildura, Victoria (report taking part in for additional.)DETAILS:The balloons flew to a top of between 50,000 and 120,000 feet and flew over areas of New South Wales; Victoria and South Australia.Each one inflate lifted a load consisting of an air sampling unit, telemetry and radio tracking trappings. The inflate possibly will be up to 280 feet tall and 150 feet in diameter. A light aircraft followed the inflate to approve fix on the station of load contour.Sometimes the balloons did not burst after sinking the load, and floated way ancient history the held area of operations. For example, HIBAL flight 15 on 9 March 1961 floated over Marrabel and Saddleworth in South Australia. In May 1962 flight numeral 93 complete it all the way to Canberra, ACT. Charge 123 on 22 June 1963 got to Cowell in South Australia.Assessment FILES:The four files between them catch the dates of flight of 301 HIBAL research balloons flying between 1960 and 1966 which would permit Australian UFO groups in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia to appraisal their UFO databases v the HIBAL launch dates. I would force UFO groups in these states to do so.
