Charles Brew

Charles Brew is an Australian ufologist known for his prominent UFO sighting and contributions to early UFO research. He publicly recounted his UFO experience alongside Rev. William Gill at the 1967 CAPIO conference, under the patronage of Air Marshal Sir George Jones, which led to the formation of the Commonwealth Aerial Phenomena Investigation Organisation. In 1967, during James E. McDonald's Australian UFO investigation tour, McDonald interviewed Brew about his sighting, highlighting its significance in audio recordings preserved in McDonald's archives. Brew's encounter in Willow Grove was investigated by UFO researcher Berson, underscoring its notability in ufology history. No birth or death dates are documented, and he lacks known publications beyond testimonies. His accounts advanced Australian ufology during the 1950s-1960s.
