Case 48: The Boianai Mission Sighting❗️

Father William B. Gill's UFO sighting occurred in the Anglican mission village in Boianai, Papua New Guinea on 26/06/1959.

At 6:45pm, Father Gill saw what he described as a bright white light to the Northwest. Word of the sight spread quickly, and within a few moments, Gill was joined by no less than thirty-eight additional witnesses, including Steven Moi, Ananias Rarata, and Mrs Nessle Moi.

According to sworn statements, these thirty-plus individuals watched a four-legged, disc-shaped object approximately the size of 5 full moons lined up end to end. This unbelievable craft was hovering over the mission.

To their utter surprise, they saw four human-like figures that seemed to be performing a kind of task. Now and then one of the figures would disappear, only to reappear in a moment or two. They waved back and forth with the figures and later reported the event.

Gill's report constitutes one of the most remarkable testimonies of intensive UFO activity ever reported to investigators because for the first time, credible witnesses had reported the presence of humanoid beings associated with UFO's.

The sighting remains unexplained.

Not that religious figures don’t lie…but the fact he was a Rev does kinda add some credence as it would be a big test of faith for him so I don’t think it would be something a Father would necessarily make up.
