Department of Air (Australia)
government
The Department of Air (DOA) was an Australian government agency responsible for aviation and defense matters. In October 1966, the DOA initiated a significant policy shift by inviting the CSIRO to comment on specific UFO cases submitted by the RAAF, marking a period of cooperation between government departments and civilian UFO research groups. This represented a notable change in Australia's approach to UFO investigation, though the DOA's direct involvement in UFO research appears to have been limited to coordinating with other agencies rather than conducting independent investigations.
