Researcher-compiled index mapping National Archives of Australia series and control symbols to Australian UFO files, totaling 10,837 pages across roughly seventy entries.
The index, developed from a table by Australian UFO researcher Keith Basterfield and posted by Isaac Koi with permission from the National Archives of Australia, lists NAA file numbers, control symbols, barcodes, titles, date ranges, and PDF page counts for Australian UFO records. The bulk of the corpus is the A703 580/1/1 'Reports on Flying Saucers and other Aerial Objects' series (parts 1 through 32, spanning 1953 through 1982) alongside the A703 554/1/30 policy series (1953 through 1974, three parts totaling 721 pages). Other holdings cover RAAF Support Command (A9755 series, 1967 through 1994), the Valentich VH-DSJ King Island disappearance (A4703 1978/1205 and B1497 V116/783/1047, 532 pages combined), Woomera (D174 SA5281, 1952 through 1955), and Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology observations (PP956/1 45/38, 1972 through 1981). The total page count across all listed files is 10,837.
