Latest UFO Videos - Latest UFO Sightings 2013
Over 200 students and teachers witnessed an unexplained flying object on
Wednesday 6th April 1966 around 11.00 am. They reported it descended
into a nearby open wild grass field adjacent to a grove of pine trees in
an area known as The Grange. The object then ascended in a
north-westerly direction over the suburb of Clayton South.
Mr
Ryan has interviewed about 30 witnesses, mostly former staff and
students from the Westall secondary and primary schools. He has tried
obtaining police and RAAF reports, but so far with little luck. The
story was covered then by Channel Nine, The Age and local newspapers.
On
the UFO, everyone seems to agree, Mr Ryan says. It was a low-flying,
silver/grey shining object, either of classical flying saucer shape or
close to it, "a cup turned upside down on a saucer". The students were
familiar with light aircraft because the schools were close to Moorabbin
Airport. Although the UFO was of similar size, "everyone said straight
away that they knew it was not a plane", Mr Ryan said, nor a weather
balloon.
The object was in view for up to 20 minutes, and many
saw it descend. Most agree it landed behind pine trees at the Grange
Reserve. Dozens of students ran across what was then an open paddock to
the reserve to investigate, but the object had lifted off and vanished.
