Rev William Gill and the 1959 Boianai Visitants - what he saw and what he believed
by Bill Chalker
January 19, 2015
Bill Gill was one of the most compelling and impressive UFO witnesses I had ever met. We corresponded and talked often about his remarkable experience. His experience witnessed by other members of the Boianai mission in Papua New Guinea in 1959 will be examined in Season 2 of Close Encounters on the Discovery Canada channel. I have tremendous respect for Bill Gill and I hope that the Close Encounters story accurately addresses his extraordinary experience - one of the best cases ever reported.
The image is from a video I took from Rev Gill's last UFO lecture, Brisbane, 14th June 2003.
Bill Gill's extraordinary journey from skeptic to believer needs to be carefully stated.
He was never a believer, but he simply stated that he saw what he saw. (the video excerpt at this link is from "UFOs are Here (1977)") His whole life after the Boianai sightings was somewhat affected and why publicly he was patiently willing to consider all possible explanations the extremes of some skeptics and some ET believer apparently hurt the family. He supported serious attempts to analysis and investigate his sighting, even if they were skeptical or explanations that were not alien UFOs.
Bill Gill's letter to David Durie dated 25/6: I am almost convinced about the "visitation" theory. There have been quite a number of reports over the months, from reliable witnesses.
I do not doubt the existence of these "things" (indeed I cannot now that I have seen one for myself) but my simple mind still requires scientific evidence before I can accept the from-outer-space theory. I am inclined to believe that probably many UFO's are more likely some form of electric phenomena - or perhaps something brought about by the atom bomb explosions, etc.
At this stage Bill still left open in his mind the idea of "visitation" - visitation by aliens, the Americans or whatever.
Then with the 26th sighting he write the next day 27/6:
Now, less than 24 hours later I have changed my views somewhat. Last night we at Boianai experienced about 4 hours of UFO activity, and there is no doubt whatsoever that they are handled by beings of some kind. At times it was absolutely breathtaking.
He discussed with the native witnesses that night the theories about "flying saucers" some believe they were from other planets, some believe they were from leading nations on Earth, so he was still keeping an open mind and passing that perspective onto the native witnesses. So by 27/6 with the first nights experience, he was certain there had been visitation, but still doubt by what. With "Convinced Bill" he was only convinced he saw what he saw, and it was his "good natured sequel" to his initial skepticism. Theories -
he had none he was certain of. He mentioned that the object was manned by "beings of some kind" but was being somewhat "tongue-in-cheek" as he was only certain of what he saw, not what it was.
