It did try to gather information.
It was very hard for them to do so.
because the holidays had started and most of the people at Westall had sort of left the scene and there wasn't much for them to,
in terms of witness testimony for them to be able to gather on the scene.
Again, they didn't have the ability like we have now in later years with technology and social media to make contact with people more easily, but they did some.
Grant mentioned that they actually interviewed Joy Clark,
And they went down with her to the site of one of the landing circles and took photographs.
And we have her witness report from that time.
And we have some of the photos that were taken of Joy in that location.
There was more done.
There was more information that was gathered, I believe.
But unfortunately, all of the records for that organization, from that organization,
have now basically been lost to us.
And I tried very hard very early on in my research to make contact with some of the people who had been involved with that organization and to find out what had happened to that paper trail.
And even though I was able to track down
all of the original investigators who were on scene at Westall for that organisation at the time, unfortunately they were elderly, they weren't very well, their memories weren't very good, and so that wasn't particularly successful.
But more importantly and more disappointingly,
getting access to whatever records were created by them just wasn't possible.
And it seems now that it's even possible that those records are no longer in existence.
There was another organization that got involved in the near years after the event, an organization that's had a few name changes over the years.
