Today we make a re visit back over 2 years ago to the 39th Sunday History Photo, March 8th, 2009 to ThreadID: 66624 .

This item was in the Australian Newspaper recently See Here .

The call went out from the 380th Bomb Group Association to members for anyone that had information or photo’s of the event,as i'm a guest member I also recieved an email asking for info, I had some I received a few months ago that were different to the ones I seen on their website so I sent the 9 photo’s I had.
Below is a reply email I received from Susan Michaelis of Fact Not Fiction Films,

( thank you so much for these. We are currently in Boston filming at the
moment on the actual B24 “Witchcraft” with the Collings Foundation. This footage will
match up with what we shot out on the Anjo Peninsular from the helicopter
3 weeks back.

We have seen some of the old photos & footage, but as in Boston right now,
cannot say if we have seen these or not. As such we really appreciate you
sending us these.

This is such a remarkable story & we had known about it in a vague way for
20 years, but not the specifics & suspect a few others did also with few
having the whole awareness of what happened. as such it is incredible
piecing it all together with the help of a number of great people.

Are you by chance involved in aviation as we know your name we think? What
was your interest in the Shady lady story? We passed through Adelaide
River when in the NT back in August.

Have you seen the opening sequence we put on our website, shot out on the
Anjo peninsular?

Kind regards

Susan Michaelis

Below are 4 of the 9 photo’s I sent , I hope this film Documentery is shown here in Australia. film release due in Spring 2012

G'Day Doug,
Not related to this thread but I know you're a very knowledgeable bloke so I thought I'd ask.

Remember a few years back there was a family travelling across the Nullarbor at night when apparently their car was picked up by a UFO and dropped. It blew their tyres out and apparently contaminated their paint work with some "cosmic ash".

Rumours at the time were that a RAAF plane shut off all their lights, swooped the car and blasted them with their landing lights at the last minute. The jet/prop wash resulted in turbulence that may have caused the car to feel as though it had become weightless. And exhaust emissions left carbon residue on the car. Just speculation.

Anyway...never really found out the end to that story. I remember it being on the news and all. Probably over 20 years ago now.

Just a long shot...but do you know how it ended?

Fab.

Try this for the "facts". No rumours or conclusions though. My thoughts at the time were they (driver) while hallucinating, nodded off & soft rolled the car. It was the best I could come up with...lol

Cheers Neil
