The Royal Australian Air Force stopped investigating UFO sightings in 1994. According to the National Archives of Australia, it reasoned that only about 3 percent of reports could not be explained by natural phenomena and that these posed little or no security threat.
The Canberra Times reported Defence talking points, released under freedom of information, saying Australia had no plans to work with the U.S. on UAP and saw no evidence they were extraterrestrial. Defence listed natural phenomena, sensor issues or human-made technology as likely causes.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Richard Marles told Nine's Today show that Defence had advised there had been no balloons like the Chinese one shot down over the U.S. in Australian airspace, and that Australia could track and deal with any such balloon.
