Papua Father Gill Close Encounter Case

The Papua Father Gill close encounter case is one of the most famous multi-witness UFO incidents ever reported. Centered on Anglican missionary Father William Booth Gill and the Boianai mission sightings of June 1959, the case became legendary because dozens of witnesses reported a hovering structured object, man-like figures visible on top of it, and what appeared to be responsive gestures between the observers and the beings.
