After 60 years, witnesses to Australia’s biggest UFO sighting at Westall High School say it’s time for answers

Tania Vassie was playing on the school oval when she looked up into the clear autumn sky to see a “strange, rounded, two-storey disc floating up above”.

The 13-year-old watched, transfixed, as the object moved through the sky erratically, dashing at speed from one direction to another.

So began one of Australia’s most intriguing mysteries — an event so unusual and surrounded by conspiracy theories that it’s only been in recent years Tania has felt comfortable talking about what she swears she saw 60 years ago.

Tania wasn’t the only one to see it. Scores of people watched from the school oval — some in amazement, some in terror — as an unidentified flying object swept across the skies above Westall High School and the adjacent primary school in Melbourne’s south-east on April 6, 1966. Some saw up to three objects.

If it was something non-human there’d likely be radar data, physical evidence, or consistent adult reports across agencies… None of that exists publicly. People forget this was the height of the Cold War. Experimental aircraft were tested all the time.

The orange one has said disclosures coming, not that he doesn’t lie on a daily basis. But would be interesting if disclosure documents shed any light on this incident.

My Grandfather was a witness to this, he is featured in the documentary. He always told us about this as kids and had kept all the newspaper clippings. He was the mechanic driving home whose car veered off the road.

It wasn’t ETL. Move on.

Westall 66 is real.

Hundreds of people saw it. I believe them

Lots of heroin in that area.
