Australia’s biggest UFO mystery | The Westall UFO Incident (1966)
On April 6th, 1966, hundreds of students, teachers, and local witnesses in Melbourne reported seeing strange disc-shaped craft moving silently above the Westall area.
What followed, became one of Australia’s most enduring UFO mysteries. Students were gathered in assembly and told not to speak about what they had seen, witnesses described police and military activity near the landing area, photographs were allegedly confiscated, and many who were there remained silent for decades.
Nearly 60 years later, new witnesses are finally ready to share their accounts.
This second documentary on the Westall UFO incident dives deeper into the events that transpired that morning through new witness testimony, on-location filming, and visual reconstructions based directly on what witnesses described.
Featuring new witness testimony from:
• Terry Peck - Westall High School student who says she came within metres of one of the craft at The Grange • Paul Smith - Independent witness and market gardener who saw a metallic craft descend near The Grange that day • Tom Raus - Westall State School student who saw the objects hovering in the sky above the pylon area • Bryonie Foster - Westall State School witness sharing detailed recollections of the craft • Lillian Anderson - Westall State School witness speaking publicly for the first time about her experience
This documentary explores:
• New eyewitness accounts from April 6th, 1966 • The description of the objects seen above Westall High School and Westall State School • The movement of the craft near the electricity pylon area in the corner of the school oval • The reported descent of the craft into The Grange reserve area • Terry Peck’s close encounter with the UFO near the landing site • Paul Smith’s independent sighting from the market gardens• The flattened circles left in the grassat The Grange • The assembly held after the sighting, where students were told not to speak about the event • Barbara Robbins appearing distraught after the sighting • Claims of camera confiscation and missing evidence • Army trucks, police, and official activity after the sighting • The lasting emotional impact on those who witnessed it
Like the first video, this project was made with care and respect for the witnesses and the history surrounding the Westall case. A huge thank you to Terry, Paul, Tom, Bryonie, and Lillian for trusting me with their stories and taking the time to speak with me.
