Short filmTranscript
00:1560 years ago, standing on the oval of a suburban Melbourne high school, hundreds of students
00:21experienced something that remains one of Australia's most intriguing mysteries. They
00:27saw strange saucer-shaped objects zipping through the sky. No official
00:33explanations ever been offered and of course there's scepticism, but all these
00:37years later the witnesses still want to know what exactly did they see?
00:48The footy season had just started. Me and all my mates were out on the oval and all of a
00:55sudden
00:56we all looked up and there's this object going slowly across the sky.
01:02I just shrieked, there's a flying saucer and there's a flying saucer outside. And pupils just stood up and off
01:11they went.
01:14And it was just humming, it was just sitting there and humming and I just couldn't believe it.
01:20I was just transfixed because I'd never seen anything like that before. It was amazing.
01:27And I thought, no, it's not an aeroplane, no engines, nothing. It's just sitting above the power lines in the
01:36sky.
01:38I was mesmerised, I was just staring at them moving around. They were like a shape of saucer and they
01:45flew.
01:48The significance of the Westall case is the sheer volume of first-hand eyewitnesses saying the same
01:55thing that they did 60 years ago. That's a very compelling case.
02:00What frustrates me and I think all the other pupils is the attempts of having it buried.
02:07Could we just find out what it was, please? That's all we want.
02:16This is what I saw.
02:20That's what I saw.
02:41You have all these elements to the Westall case that make it a true enigma and a mystery 60 years
02:49later.
02:50And it really just has so many interesting and fantastical facets to it.
02:57Every year we have an anniversary at the Granger. Most of us go.
03:00Hi, everybody. Thanks for being here. Great to see people. Keep coming.
03:05It's a chance for us all to get together and talk about, you know, what we experienced that day.
03:11It's in my head. I can never leave it. I don't care what anyone says. I have one question. Were
03:18you there?
03:19And they all say, no. Well, I was and so were all these other witnesses.
03:23What have we got to lie about? Nothing. We want an answer.
03:30A lot of the witnesses really felt like they had been restrained over the years from talking about the story.
03:37It was something that couldn't be shared, couldn't be talked about.
03:41So I've sort of kept it under wraps for quite a while because you fear of being ridiculed.
03:46They got the message very clearly from the school authorities that this was a story that was to stay at
03:53Westall.
03:54We were just all told not to talk about it or we'd get detention. It's all rubbish.
04:00Some sceptics have suggested that what was responsible for Westall was just mass hysteria.
04:06I don't think it's something that can be completely discounted, but it's clear they saw something.
04:13No matter what happens, I will never doubt what I saw.
04:17Of course something must have happened. It's just trying to find the most reasonable explanation without jumping to fantasy.
04:26Westall has been co-opted by the hardcore UFO believers as a classic case of alien visitation.
04:31Now, if aliens are visiting Earth, so be it. But great. You know, where are they?
04:36I hope what might come about from this 60th anniversary is some more official information. We'd all like to see
04:43that.
04:50In 1966, Westall was a fast-growing community on the southeastern edge of Melbourne.
04:59To cope with the fast-growing population, there were two newly founded schools.
05:05Westall High School and the adjacent Primary School.
05:14The Westall incident actually happened on the second last day of term.
05:24We were out in the field.
05:29I looked up into the sky and I saw a disc flying around in a very strange movement, kind of
05:42zigzagging.
05:43It was here one minute and then up there the next.
05:47That's when the commotion started.
05:51I was in science.
05:54It was coming up to morning recess and all of a sudden this student flung the door open and said,
06:01Mr Green, Mr Green, there's flying saucers in the sky, there's things in the sky.
06:05And then just took off.
06:07Well, we just all looked at each other and started laughing because we thought, oh yeah, right.
06:15And I can remember walking out there and standing and just looking up and all of a sudden I saw
06:21them.
06:25It wasn't particularly high up, maybe a thousand feet, hard to know exactly.
06:30It was large, easily visible, circular, silver and clearly under some sort of control.
06:39It wasn't a helicopter.
06:41It didn't have wings.
06:44It wasn't an aircraft.
06:46It was a flying disc.
06:49A two-storey kind of flying disc.
06:55I saw three, but some saw two, some saw one.
06:59It depended on where you were in the school.
07:03And they moved incredible speeds.
07:08Straight up in the air and you'd look and they would be there.
07:11And you'd look again and there's one there and there's one over there.
07:14And oh my God, then they're over the power lines.
07:19I was working on the market garden.
07:21My back was feeling a bit sore, so I stood up.
07:25And right in front of me, there was this object in the sky.
07:30It was just there.
07:34As I was looking at it, the colouring changed, becoming translucent at the same time.
07:43I didn't believe it because it couldn't be happening.
07:50I saw what I saw and so did all my school friends, hundreds of us.
07:55It was unidentified.
07:57It was flying and it was clearly an object.
07:59It wasn't a mirage.
08:00So it got referred to as a UFO, an unidentified flying object,
08:04because it met all those three criteria.
08:09A lady named Mrs Robbins, she was my science teacher,
08:12she came out with a camera and started taking photos.
08:19And all of a sudden, all these little planes come flying through.
08:23We were used to planes because of being so close to Moorabbin Airport.
08:27And anyway, they'd fly in and they'd get near the saucers.
08:31The saucer would just go straight up in the air.
08:33It was like they were playing cat and mouse with them, honestly.
08:36It was quite amazing to watch.
08:40A few of us girls were on the fence and we were crying,
08:44thinking it was the end of the world.
08:46Total hysteria. It was just incredible.
08:48And then it did a controlled descent down behind some pine trees.
08:55Now the area was known to us kids as the Grange.
08:58And it was a few blocks behind the school.
09:01That's when a lot of the kids jumped the fence and took off.
09:07I was teaching English three lessons straight, dying to get a cup of tea and a smoke.
09:16I met Andrew Greenwood coming in.
09:19He was a science teacher.
09:23And the first words he said to me, I think, were something like,
09:26Did you see it? Did you see it?
09:29I missed out by minute.
09:31So that's exercised my imagination for the last 60 years.
09:37Andrew told me that the kids had gone over the fence to follow the flying saucer.
09:43He said it had landed beyond the trees.
09:45I just ran in the direction of where this one appeared to go down.
09:51And there was this strange thing just sitting there, hovering above the ground.
09:57Quite big.
09:58And I could hear a low buzzing sound.
10:02I could see two other girls that had gotten there before me.
10:05One was crying and quite hysterical, actually.
10:08And the other girl was just on the ground.
10:12And then as I was literally staring at it, it started to rise up very slowly.
10:16And then when it turned on that, when it was in that angle, it could go really fast.
10:24I never saw the craft, whatever you'd like to call it, on the ground.
10:30But by the time I arrived at the spot, the grass was flattened.
10:42I walked around to the other side of the school and I noticed these two Jeeps.
10:50The Jeeps would have arrived, I reckon, probably ten minutes after the craft had disappeared.
10:55It was very quick.
10:56And now the men get out and they've got clipboards and whatever.
10:59Now they're all in green uniforms.
11:01But some of them were in camouflage.
11:04And then they jumped back in and took off and went, obviously, down to the ground.
11:10There are people who very clearly remember there being a military presence.
11:14I definitely had a line of sight.
11:16Yes, I saw everything that went on over there.
11:19One of the army guys came over and spoke to my boss.
11:24The guys all started looking at the ground, inspecting it.
11:36They had a bit of trouble trying to get everybody back into class.
11:42It was later that we had the assembly, the special assembly.
11:50Mr Sambleby, the headmaster, dictated to all the students that what we saw was probably just a weather balloon.
11:58Right?
11:59And that we are not to talk to the press or anybody else about what happened.
12:03Okay?
12:03And that if we did, we would get into real strife with him.
12:09It seemed quite a normal thing of a headmaster who doesn't want to see his school running amok.
12:15No one would have wanted their school to be the centre of a UFO sighting.
12:22I was taken by the principal to a little interview room where two gentlemen were seated.
12:33I was absolutely terrified.
12:37They told me that what I had witnessed wasn't a balloon.
12:45Even at that young age, I disputed that fact.
12:50That's when they changed their tactic.
12:54They intimated that we don't want this getting out there into the media.
13:02They wore dark suits, white shirts and skinny ties.
13:09They made me promise not to discuss it.
13:15I kept my word to the point where I did not discuss it with my mother.
13:19I did not discuss it with anybody.
13:30When school finished, Channel 9 news team was out the front.
13:34And they were asking students if they would be interviewed.
13:37So we told them what we saw.
13:39And then this man appeared.
13:41It was a policeman.
13:42And he said to the cameraman and to the reporter,
13:46you stop filming and you go away.
13:53We all watched the news at 6 o'clock and yeah, there I was pointing up into the sky telling
13:58my story.
14:05After the Westall incident, it kind of fell off the map.
14:09It went dark.
14:09It wasn't talked about until many, many, many decades later where some researchers, Australian researchers started asking questions.
14:20I was particularly curious about the Westall story because hardly anything had been written about it.
14:27I presume the story was, at least in part, urban legend.
14:32That there were elements of the story that had probably been embellished and added onto over time.
14:38But what I was interested in was, well, what was at the core of the story.
14:44There's been a mushrooming of flying saucer clubs.
14:47Flying saucers were a big part of the culture when I was growing up.
14:51What do you think they are?
14:53They are real, anyway.
14:54They come from the other planets.
14:57There were stories about flying saucers on TV, in the movies, comics.
15:02It was something that was very much part of the zeitgeist at the time.
15:07In the past decade, the mounting accumulation of evidence demands our attention.
15:14People see things all the time around the world.
15:17I mean, it's a global phenomenon.
15:18But to have a mass sighting in broad daylight, it's more rare, right?
15:25So those, in my opinion, deserve a proper investigation, a deeper dive.
15:32Because, what is it, was it a mass hallucination?
15:42This is the science room.
15:44So this is the room you were enjoying.
15:47I've been in contact now with easily more than 200 people who were witnesses at Westall that day.
15:54This is what all started?
15:56Yeah, this is where it started.
15:58It's hard to know exactly how many people saw the UFO, but when I met Andrew Greenwood, the science teacher,
16:05who's now sadly passed away, he was very clear to me that when he went out onto the sports ground
16:11with his class, that there was something like more than half the student body seeing what he was seeing.
16:17And that was more than 300 kids.
16:21I was standing beside Andrew, Andrew Greenwood.
16:24He sort of looked at me as if to say, don't run and don't jump the fence like somebody else
16:29we know.
16:30You lay it off.
16:31You'd already gone, I know.
16:33It's amazing to me that there is so much commonality across the witness testimonies, and this became very apparent to
16:40me very early on, that people were and are telling the same story.
16:45So the big misconception is that we have good memories. We don't. Our brain reconstructs things, elaborates, forgets to include
16:56things. There's a very interesting thing when people get together, there's a group reinforcement of the common story. It's not
17:04malicious, it's just the way we are.
17:11I desperately wanted to track down that original Channel 9 news footage, which aired that night, and which had interviews
17:18apparently with the witnesses.
17:21And the film couldn't be found. It was an empty film canister.
17:29Lots of people have memories of photographs being taken, so I tried very hard to find those photos.
17:36But those photographs have never been seen in public. We don't know what became of them.
17:43But there was a possible other photo, taken four days before, on the 2nd of April, that may have had
17:51some connection to what happened at Westall, taken by a man called James Kibble.
17:58James Kibble had never spoken in public on TV before.
18:04So this is a print from the original photograph taken by James Kibble. This is his handwriting he sent to
18:13me.
18:14This was taken just a few kilometres away, prior to the landing at the school.
18:21James Fox, American filmmaker, was very interested in covering both the James Kibble story and the Westall story and possible
18:28connections between the two.
18:30And I saw this tremendous flash of light, and I looked up, and I saw this object, and I pulled
18:36it. I had a Polaroid camera, and I pulled this up and hit myself on the face.
18:41and I took the picture and I got the photograph here.
18:44This is the original Polaroid.
18:46That's it.
18:46This is what it is.
18:49It looked like it was made out of some form of metal
18:51and it was engineered.
18:53And being an engineer, I was sure it was.
18:57And that's when I took the photograph
18:58and it tipped around and I could see the bottom
19:00and it looked like it was rotating to me.
19:03That was it.
19:04And then after that, it sort of gave a bounce
19:06and it rocketed away to the north, very high speed.
19:10Can you describe the acceleration?
19:12It was like almost instantaneous.
19:15It's like it had been shot out of a gun.
19:17Wham!
19:17You know.
19:23When I look at this photo, I think, wow, it's a great photo.
19:27But, of course, you can look at it and think,
19:29well, is that a bicycle bell?
19:33Is it a hubcap?
19:35And I don't know.
19:36I know what James Kibble told me.
19:40And I'm just not in a position to know, of course,
19:43one way or the other.
19:49Even though the news footage doesn't exist anymore,
19:52there are actually newspaper articles that date from that time.
19:59There was a very small article in the Age newspaper the following day.
20:05And it should be just here somewhere.
20:07There it is.
20:07It was tiny and really didn't give any extra details
20:13except to say there'd been a weather balloon launched in Melbourne that morning.
20:17And given the wind on that day,
20:21it's possible that the thing that was seen at Westall was that weather balloon.
20:28So that's a weather balloon.
20:31It's definitely the wrong shape, isn't it?
20:33Yeah.
20:36It wasn't a weather balloon.
20:38It had some elements of the shape and colour of a weather balloon,
20:42and it was silver and circular in looking up from underneath,
20:46but nothing hanging underneath it as a payload.
20:51Now, if we were to invoke the principle of Occam's razor,
20:55which basically says the simpler explanation is often the best one to choose,
21:01then the weather balloon is a very likely candidate.
21:04But that's not to write off and discount what they're saying.
21:08It's just not enough for us to make a proper conclusion.
21:12There's no evidence that it actually was a weather balloon.
21:16There's no mention of the weather balloon being collected and being identified.
21:20When I looked into the weather data for that day,
21:23it actually didn't stack up at all.
21:25The winds, as predicted and as reported,
21:29actually blew in the opposite direction.
21:34The Dandenong Journal was the only newspaper that covered this story.
21:38For me, I found that really surprising.
21:40So this is the first article,
21:42but it was really in the follow-up article
21:44that we got a little bit more information about what happened.
21:48There were some interviews with a couple of the kids
21:51and Andrew Greenwood, the science teacher.
21:55He never spoke about it again publicly
21:58until James Fox and I and others were able to encourage him
22:02to speak on camera for the first time.
22:05But he didn't want his face to appear.
22:07Two older men, one in uniform, asked for my description of what I'd seen.
22:12I was then told that I hadn't seen anything,
22:15but I'd made it all up, possibly because I was drunk
22:19and that they would have to report that fact to the education department
22:22and I would lose my job.
22:25I was told that I would be prosecuted
22:28and that I had to keep quiet about it.
22:30Why did I have to keep quiet?
22:35I heard reports that he had been threatened and told
22:37that his reputation was on the line.
22:39He went very quiet.
22:41I think it cost him to say what he had to say.
22:43Others might have been more circumspect,
22:45but we knew he had seen something.
22:51So many witnesses had seen five planes.
22:57In the Dandenong Journal's final article,
23:00they were going very hard trying to find the five pilots.
23:06The five planes seemed to be somehow connected to the UFOs.
23:13And they tried very hard to find those pilots, but never did.
23:20Basically, the newspaper was saying the trail had gone cold.
23:25Nobody would talk to them.
23:26The school wouldn't talk.
23:27The Moorabbin Airport wouldn't talk.
23:30And that they suspected
23:32that somebody had actually put pressure on the school.
23:37The fact that the story seemed to have been shut down by somebody
23:41would make me think
23:42it's more likely to have been military involvement
23:45or government involvement.
23:47Do you know, like, where it came from?
23:50Well, I wish I did.
23:51Did it look new or did it look, like, old and rusty?
23:55Well, I thought it was pretty new-looking.
23:58It was 1966.
24:00The Cold War was on.
24:01The space race was on.
24:02It was a time of rapid change.
24:05A day of wild, excited scenes of welcome
24:07for President Johnson in Sydney.
24:11There were lots of theories
24:13for what had been seen at Westall.
24:171966 was definitely a time
24:19of a very burgeoning relationship
24:21between Australia and the United States.
24:24We believe that it is right.
24:27That the strong
24:28should help the weak
24:31defend their freedom.
24:36Our alliance with the Americans
24:38was a particularly strong one.
24:40And we had something of a dependence
24:42on each other,
24:44not only in terms of personnel,
24:46but also of equipment.
24:51Melbourne, as a city,
24:53was a very busy place
24:54in terms of government research and development.
24:57And not very far away from Westall,
24:59there was the government aircraft factories
25:02and the aeronautical research laboratories.
25:07Both of those places were trying
25:10to progress experimentation
25:11with different sorts of aircraft.
25:17The threat of nuclear attack
25:19was very much on people's minds.
25:23There was a program called Highball,
25:27and it was a cooperative program
25:28between the Australian government
25:30and the American government's
25:32Atomic Energy Commission
25:34to send up these very large,
25:37high-altitude balloons
25:38to measure the presence of nuclear fallout.
25:45Some of those balloons got away.
25:48Did it happen that one of these
25:50sophisticated balloons
25:51drifted down to Melbourne?
25:54It could have.
25:56Why not?
25:59It would explain, possibly,
26:01the appearance of government officials
26:03at the school.
26:03There hasn't been any supporting evidence
26:05to confirm that hypothesis to date,
26:09but that's one that's been put forward.
26:19I had never heard of what had happened
26:21at Westall
26:22until a journalist approached me
26:24and asked me as a historian
26:26and a researcher
26:27to see what I could find,
26:28particularly with my defence background.
26:31I don't really know, of course,
26:34what those three UFOs were.
26:38I have a high degree of confidence, however,
26:40that they were part of
26:41a research and development project
26:43which was underway in Australia.
26:47I personally believe
26:48it could have been
26:49a United States project
26:51which they were developing here
26:54in conjunction with us
26:55using our expertise.
26:58I am reasonably confident
27:00that what happened
27:01at Westall on that day
27:03was that something certainly went wrong.
27:06That would account
27:08for the rapidity,
27:09incredible rapidity,
27:11of the troops,
27:12if I can call them that,
27:13who responded
27:14within the hour on that day.
27:18I don't discount
27:19that it could have been
27:21top secret military technology
27:23that was being tested
27:24or trialled
27:26and an operation
27:28went
27:30not according to plan.
27:32But again,
27:32where's the evidence
27:33to support that?
27:34That's what we're trying to find.
27:38So I've submitted
27:39many, many
27:40Freedom of Information Act requests
27:42trying to get
27:42some documentary evidence.
27:44But unfortunately
27:45there has been
27:46no explanation
27:47provided by the Australian Government
27:49or the Australian Department of Defence
27:50as to what was responsible
27:52for what was seen
27:54in the skies
27:54above Westall High School.
27:59I guess I'm lucky
28:00to have had the chance
28:00to see it
28:01but, you know,
28:02a bit of a sliding doors moment
28:03didn't affect me in any way.
28:05You know,
28:05no one came
28:06and beamed me up.
28:08Certainly
28:08there's ongoing interest
28:09in the story
28:10from people who weren't there
28:11because it's pretty unusual
28:12I guess looking back
28:13from 60 years later.
28:16It's okay
28:17to talk about it now.
28:19You know,
28:19saying,
28:20look,
28:20we saw something
28:21that was so different
28:22all those years ago.
28:25At my age now,
28:27it doesn't matter
28:28if somebody thinks
28:29that I'm a little bit loony.
28:31It has no relevance.
28:33I know what I saw.
28:36We're all telling the truth.
28:41I know what I saw.
28:43And, you know,
28:44end of story.
28:45And I'm not accountable
28:46to anybody but myself.
28:57So where we are now
28:58is the UFO Playground
28:59at the Grange.
29:02I actually suggested
29:04to the local council
29:06that it might be a good idea
29:08to put something here,
29:09some sort of commemoration
29:10of what had happened
29:12all those years ago.
29:17History is something
29:18that's really fragile.
29:19And so having something
29:20physical here
29:21then creates an opportunity
29:23for people
29:23who have come afterwards
29:25to know that something
29:26happened that day.
29:28Something mysterious,
29:29something real.
29:31And like all the witnesses
29:33who were here that day,
29:35I too just want to know.
29:37If there's a truth
29:38to be revealed,
29:39I think it's time
29:40to reveal it
29:41and I think we
29:42as the public
29:43can handle it.
30:10will be revealed,
30:13he…
30:16you
30:17you
30:17you
30:20you
30:21you
30:22you
30:30you
