Flying Saucers in the Suburbs Hobsession

    • Arts

The 6th of April 1966 was not an average day for the students and teachers of Westall High, a suburban school in Melbourne.  The largest mass UFO sighting in Australia would take place just before recess and the lives of the eyewitnesses would be altered forever. Disbelieved and mocked, the students were forced into silence, yet even in adulthood they stand firm in their conviction that what they saw that day was real. Heidi and Becki delve into the events, the coverups and the aftermath of the Westall UFO incident.
