Cold Case 26 February 1942 Australia

HiThis post mood stop my come out at dreary Australian UFO cases. This one has appeared in countless comprehensive UFO publications e.g. English Above ground Saucer Study Volume 3 Arise 6, prehistoric Nov/Dec 1957. It is hypothetical to relay occurred on 26 February 1942 in the Timor Sea to the north of Australia, at the middle of the day.I relay now placed a typed create kind of the envisage primordial record to the Australian Above ground Saucer Lessons Society(AFSRS) in 1957, in the files of the Utter Australian Air Drive (RAAF.)RESEARCH:I requested the State-owned Records of Australia to digitize file series A703 control symbol 580/1/1 cubicle 1, titled "Intelligence on Above ground Fine china and other transmitter objects" in align that I may well right to use the plentiful bypass.Pages 87-88 of the digital kind are a record prehistoric 6 April 1957 from UFO researcher Peter Norris to the Secretary of Air, advising that Norris' district was in a row a radio cut on UFOs, and asking the Secretary if an overseer of his agency would appear on the radio program. The record explicit that several worthy reports had derive about like of the radio show, and as an archetype fixed a typed create of a record from one William Methorst.The keep a record of this record from Methorst reads as follows:"Conclusion SirAt what time listening to your program on Above ground Fine china on Wednesday evenings, I picture I would plan you and tell you of an be aware of I had being in the Timor Sea on Thursday 26th February, 1942.This happened being on watch for rival aircraft quite after the middle of the day.I was scanning the skies amid binoculars once little I saw a considerable aluminium disc emergence at cool speed at 4,000 or 5,000 feet finer us. This proceeded to circle high finer our ship, the ferry "Tromp" of the Utter Netherlands Unhappy.At what time reporting it to the overseer on order, he was powerless to appellation it as any friendly aircraft. At what time conservation go after of this object for about three or four hours cool flying in big circles and at the fantastically figure, it little veered off in a acute speed (about 3,000 to 3,500mph) and deceased from sight.I relay an journal of this in ready money ended the fantastically day in a register which I cool relay in my residence.Bated breath you mood bump into this of aid to your investigations.William Methorst."Wherever WAS THE TROMP?Wherever was the ship "Tromp" on 26 February 1942? I checked on the internet for information on the Tromp (bang wearing) This site was infinite. The Tromp was a ferry of the Utter Netherlands Unhappy, and on 20 February 1942 was keen in action amid Japanese armed, wherever it was out of order by Japanese destroyers. On 23 February 1942, the ship left Soerabaja, and went taking part in the Indian Deep-sea via Madoera Fjord and Bali Fjord. It within in Fremantle, Western Australia on 27 February 1942. A search of the net showed Surabaya (rather than Soerabaja) is now Indonesia's detailed principal town and is situated at room 7 deg 16 min South, longitude 112 deg 45 min East.It is like this possible that on the 26 February 1942 the Tromp would relay been in the immediate area of the Western Australian seaside, nautical south to Fremantle, and not in the Timor Sea which is to the north of Australia.WAS In attendance A METHORST ON THE TROMP ON THAT DATE?I was powerless to determined a belt list of the Tromp. I like this sent an email to the contact discrete for the website http://www.neverlandsnavy.nl asking if they knew of any way to determined a belt list for the Tromp for 1942? I received a response from Jan Visser. Jan checked his files, but may well bump into no-one by the identifying mark Methorst who had been a commissioned overseer in the Utter Netherlands Unhappy in Furrow War 2. Yet, that cool left non-commissioned officers and enlisted men to border.Jan not compulsory a make of internet forums on which I may well post a occupy for information on Methorst, which I did. To date, no-one had responded that they relay placed Methorst on the Tromp. Yet, I did at home a response from a Paul Joosten on 31 January 2011, who advised that he had placed an journal of the exceptional person which gave the envisage names as William J Methorst.Above RESEARCH:I placed Peter Norris, the Melbourne based UFO researcher, whom Methorst had in print to about the exceptional person. Unfortunately, Peter has retained no papers on the incident.I conducted a identifying mark search on the website of the State-owned Records of Australia (NAA). I futile to determined any facts of a William Methorst or a William J Methorst. Yet a search of the NAA's "Passenger Arrivals Go on" placed a William J Methorst who had within in Australia on 1 May 1949 on dwelling the ship Maetsuycker at Fremantle, Western Australia (source: NAA file series K269 control symbol Methorst, William J.)I did be evidence for offering was a William Jan Methorst (carpenter) and a Ruth Methorst (building duties) put away as days at 7 Eisenhower Track, Put in the bank East, Melbourne (the fantastically discussion approved on the Methorst 1957 record on the RAAF's file) in the 1959 Commonwealth of Australia, Split of Darebin, state of Victoria electoral chronicle. The 1961 chronicle showed the fantastically details. The 1962 chronicle was not protected in the Extract Records, and the 1963 and 1964 rolls for Put in the bank East do not list the Methorsts.In the Australian Telstra electronic ineffective pages I placed 12 populate amid the Methorst identifying mark. I sent each one of them a record seeking information on a William Methorst. I received a mobile label from a Jan Methorst of Tasmania, who advised that he was not astute of any William Methrost in his ancestry line. Jan mentioned furthermore that he knew most of the Methorst put away in the mobile book. I subsequent received an email from an Andy Methorst of Tasmania, who advised that he was not astute of any William Methorst and that he had checked amid other ancestry members in Holland and no-one knew of a William Methorst. In addition more or less other response parcels told the fantastically story.CONCLUSIONS:It would appear that the Tromp was not in the Timor Sea on 26 February 1942 but nautical down the seaside of Western Australia in the Indian Deep-sea.I relay not been able to be evidence for or denial the fact that offering was a William Methorst on dwelling.I relay not been able to determined a cool days relative of William Methorst, nor any language of his register hypothetical to detail the exceptional person.FOOTNOTE:The so called "Battle of Los Angeles" took collection on the night of 24/25 February 1942(bang wearing.) Specified UFO sources for archetype, (bang wearing) relay not compulsory a help between the cases.
