Father Gill PNG UFO
An Anglican priest and 37 witnesses watched a UFO with beings on top for hours over two nights. When Father Gill waved at the figures, one waved back. 38 witnesses signed statements. The interaction was mutual, observed, and documented.
Beings Who Waved Back
Anglican missionary William Gill led evening prayers while a UFO hovered overhead. He and 37 others watched humanoid figures on the craft—and when Gill waved, one of the beings waved in return. It happened again the next night.
