ATSB released an occurrence details report for a 2 July 1969 incident in Sydney involving burn marks reported on two golf courses, initially described as a possible UFO landing with RAAF notification. The document, logged into ATSB systems in April 2007, classifies the event as an operational miscellaneous incident with occurrence level 4 and nil injuries. The report contains minimal substantive investigation material—primarily an occurrence entry form with basic administrative details. The requestor sought original Department of Civil Aviation reports, RAAF correspondence, Bankstown Airport air traffic control logs, and investigation notes; however, the released document provides no evidence of such materials or detailed investigation findings. Extensive sections are redacted under Section 22 of the FOI Act. The incident predates the Transport Safety Investigation Act, limiting archival expectations for formal investigation documentation.
