Australia\u2019s Biggest UFO Cover-Up |
The Westall Incident (1966)<\/b><\/font><\/big><\/center>
\n
\nOn April 6th, 1966, more than 200 students and teachers in Melbourne witnessed something extraordinary above Westall High School \u2014 three silver, disc-shaped UFO craft moving in ways no known aircraft could. What followed, became one of Australia\u2019s biggest UFO cover-ups: military jeeps arrived, men in suits appeared, photos were confiscated, interviews were shut down, and witnesses \u2014 including children \u2014 were warned to stay silent. Nearly 60 years later, the mystery of the Westall UFO Incident remains unsolved.<\/p>\n

This documentary takes you back to that day in 1966, exploring the Westall UFO encounter, the witnesses who saw the craft land, and the government response that followed. Through first-hand interviews, on-location filming at the original Westall site, and insights from researchers who\u2019ve spent decades investigating the case, we revisit one of the most important \u2014 and most heavily suppressed \u2014 UFO sightings in Australian history.<\/p>\n
