DOCUMENTARY Premiered on 23 Nov 2025
On April 6th, 1966, more than 200 students and teachers in Melbourne witnessed something extraordinary above Westall High School — three silver, disc-shaped UFO craft moving in ways no known aircraft could. What followed, became one of Australia’s biggest UFO cover-ups: military jeeps arrived, men in suits appeared, photos were confiscated, interviews were shut down, and witnesses — including children — were warned to stay silent. Nearly 60 years later, the mystery of the Westall UFO Incident remains unsolved.
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’ve spent decades investigating the case, we revisit one of the most important — and most heavily suppressed — UFO sightings in Australian history.
