The Westall UFO Incident
Description
April 6, 1966. 11 AM. A suburban Melbourne school. Over 200 students and teachers witness a silver disc hovering above their playground, then shooting away at impossible speed. Within hours, men in suits arrive. Students are told to stay silent. TV footage mysteriously vanishes from network archives.
Nearly 60 years later, the Australian government still blocks access to thousands of files about that day. The witnesses, now grandparents, have never changed their story.
What flew over Westall High School? And why are authorities still covering it up?
Dive into Australia's most compelling UFO mystery on the latest episode of STREWTH, where we explore the cases that still defy explanation.
