EDITORS COMMENTS
In the remote highlands of Papua, New Guinea, in the summer of 1959, an extraordinary event unfolded at the local mission station. Reverend William Gill and thirty-seven native converts gathered in awe as they witnessed an unidentified flying object hovering above them for two consecutive nights. The incident, which occurred on the 26th and 27th of June, has since become a significant part of UFO history. The missionaries described the object as a silver disc with waving occupants, who appeared to be beckoning to them. The natives, who were initially frightened, soon became fascinated by the sight and reported that the occupants seemed friendly and benevolent. The object emitted a soft, pulsating light and remained stationary in the sky for several hours each night. Reverend Gill, a man of faith and reason, was initially skeptical but could not explain the phenomenon. He documented the sightings in his journal, noting the exact dates, times, and descriptions provided by the natives. The incident gained international attention, with news of the UFO sighting spreading far and wide. The event at the Papua, New Guinea mission remains a fascinating and intriguing part of UFO history. While some dismiss it as a hoax or a mass hallucination, others believe it to be a genuine encounter with extraterrestrial beings. Regardless of one's perspective, the incident serves as a reminder of the enduring mystery and wonder of the universe and the unexplored realms beyond our own. This historic photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of the moment, with Reverend Gill and the thirty-seven natives gazing up at the night sky in wonder and awe, as the silver disc hovers above them, its occupants waving in greeting.
