THEY'RE NOT DRONES: New Jersey has 'mystery drones', New Jersey also has dairy cows, and the Collective has issued a herd advisory
For three weeks the skies over New Jersey have been full of large, silent, lit objects that nobody will identify. Everyone is calling them drones. Nobody has asked what they are looking for. We have. The answer is Holsteins. — Shane Doolan
BERYL WAS A BIOLOGIC: US Congress hears testimony on 'non-human biologics', and our ninety-page statement is not read into the record
A former intelligence officer has told a congressional committee under oath that the United States has recovered non-human biologics from crashed craft. The Collective submitted ninety pages establishing that a Droughtmaster cow is a biologic, that she was on a craft, and that someone therefore has her. Nobody read it. — Warren Doolan
RECORD FOURTEEN AT TUESDAY NIGHT EXPERIENCER GROUP; one was Keith in a wig; plate situation 'unacceptable'
The Wandoona CWA hall hosted its largest ever Experiencer Support Group on 11 October 2022, with fourteen attendees, nine plates, one infiltrator, two breakthroughs and a motion to amend the rules. Your Abductee Liaison Officer reports. — Cheryl Mangan
AUDIT: approximately 40,000 Australian cows unaccounted for, Collective's own figures show
A first-of-its-kind reconciliation of the national herd by the Collective's Chief Scientific Officer has identified a shortfall of roughly forty thousand head that cannot be explained by sale, death, export or 'wandering off'. Management has reviewed the arithmetic. Management has notes. — Dr Lyle Faraday
WE TOLD YOU IN 1996: US Navy releases the Tic Tac footage and it is the Beryl craft, give or take a dome
Twenty-one years after this website went live with a single frame of VHS, the United States military has released cockpit video of an object that does everything the Beryl craft did. Dr Faraday has compared them in Faraday Units. The numbers are close. The numbers are very close. — Warren Doolan
GLADYS TAKES IT OUT: Most Suspicious Cow 2016 goes to a heifer who 'has been looking at the sky'
Full results, judging criteria and controversy from the twentieth annual Most Suspicious Cow competition at the Wandoona Show, including the disqualification of a judge who turned out to be Keith. — Shane Doolan
LEAKED: hangar door 'near Amberley' caught open with green glow and 'cow-sized' silhouette inside
An anonymous guestbook submission shows a large hangar door ajar at 1:15 am on 2 July 2015, leaking a green light the Collective measures at 14 Faraday Units. The RAAF's position is that it is a shed. The Collective's position is that sheds are not green. — Dr Lyle Faraday
TWENTY YEARS TO THE MINUTE: beam returns to the Big Dam on Beryl's anniversary
At 2:47 am on 14 March 2014, exactly twenty years after Beryl was taken, a column of light descended to the surface of the Big Dam while the founder of this website stood on the bank with a thermos. They came back. They were looking for her too. — Warren Doolan
CLOAKED MOTHERSHIP HOLDS POSITION OVER BIG DAM AGAINST 30 KM/H WESTERLY; Bureau goes quiet
A hard-edged lenticular 'cloud' with a row of lights along its underside sat motionless above Boolaroo Downs for over two hours on the afternoon of 17 May 2012 while every other cloud in Queensland went east. The Bureau said cloud. The Collective said cloud with lights. The Bureau stopped replying. — Warren Doolan
IN THE INTERESTS OF BALANCE: we print Keith Rowbotham's letter debunking this website, with notes
The Wandoona Rationalist Society (membership: Keith) has submitted a 1,200-word letter explaining why everything on this site is wrong. The Collective believes in balance. The Collective also believes in footnotes. Warren's annotations appear in brackets. — Keith Rowbotham (annotated by Warren Doolan)
FOUR HUNDRED PAGES OF BLACK: Bureau answers our Freedom of Information request with total redaction and one recipe for a slice
After eleven months, three appeals and a fee of $31.40, the Bureau has released its file on Boolaroo Downs. Every page is blacked out except page 212, which is a recipe for a caramel slice. Dr Faraday has decoded it. — Warren Doolan
THE LOADING BAY: Pine Gap Pete's photograph of a light above the domes, delivered on a Keno slip
Our senior insider source has photographed a stationary object directly above the radomes at the Joint Defence Facility near Alice Springs. He calls it the loading bay. Two agencies have asked us to take the photograph down. We have instead made it bigger. — Warren Doolan
THE COMMODORE IS BACK: Men in Beige return to Boolaroo Downs two days after the glyph, with a new pamphlet
Forty-nine hours after a sixty-metre worried cow appeared in Hennessy's wheat, a white Holden Commodore with government plates pulled up at our front gate. Two men. Beige slacks. Lanyards. They wanted the tape. The pamphlet this time was 'Managing Pasture Stress'. — Warren Doolan
THE BOVINE GLYPH: sixty-metre formation appears overnight in Hennessy's wheat, and it is a cow, from above, worried
A structural analysis of the Wandoona crop formation of 28 August 2004, conducted from the top of the silo with a kite, a camera and nineteen years of experience in the television repair sector. — Dr Lyle Faraday
ORB ENTERS DOOLAN KITCHEN DURING CHRISTMAS DINNER, EXITS VIA CEILING, HAS NOT BEEN SEEN LEAVING ROOF
At 11:58 pm on Christmas Eve 2003 a luminous sphere the size of a cricket ball hovered above the pudding for roughly six seconds before passing upward through the plaster into the roof space, where it is, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, probably still. — Shane Doolan
RADIOLOGY CONFIRMS OBJECT BEHIND LIAISON OFFICER'S EAR; hospital calls it 'artefact'
A 3-millimetre metallic body imaged behind Cheryl Mangan's left ear at Wandoona District Hospital on 22 February 2002 has been written off by the radiologist as an artefact. The Collective's Chief Scientific Officer has questions. Cheryl has more. — Dr Lyle Faraday
TRUCKIE PACED BY BLACK TRIANGLE FOR 40 MINUTES ON NULLARBOR: 'it moved like it remembered something'
A road train driver known to the Collective only as Macca photographed three lights in a rigid triangular formation east of Eucla at 11:40 pm on 19 January 2001. They did not move. Then they did. Keith says roadhouse. Macca has words for Keith. — Shane Doolan
THE WANDOONA LIGHTS: eleven witnesses, one camera, zero flares, and the raffle was suspended
On the night of 13 March 1997 a string of amber orbs hung over Wandoona for twenty minutes, witnessed by the entire beer garden of the Royal Hotel. The same night, on the other side of the planet, Phoenix, Arizona saw the same thing. Draw your own conclusions. — Warren Doolan
THEY TOOK BERYL: the night a saucer lifted a Droughtmaster out of the Top Paddock
The founding file of this website. At 2:47 am on 14 March 1994 a disc-shaped craft removed a 540-kilogram cow from Boolaroo Downs. She has not been returned. The Bureau has not replied. — Warren Doolan
SAUCER NEST FOUND IN BIG DAM: perfect nine-metre swirl identical to Tully 1966
A circular, clockwise flattening of the reed bed at the Big Dam was discovered on the morning of 19 January 1996. It matches the famous 1966 Tully saucer nest in every measurable respect, which tells you one thing: they have a type. — Warren Doolan
ANOTHER ONE: cow found inside the Burnt Circle, thirteen months to the week after Beryl
At dawn on 3 April 1995 a second Droughtmaster was discovered lying motionless in the centre of the nine-metre scorched ring where Beryl was taken. No tracks. No blood. No footprints. No receipt. Then she stood up. — Warren Doolan
