Today marks 60 years since the Westall UFO incident, so I’m re-releasing this interview with researcher Shane Ryan, first recorded in December 2022. Westall remains one of the most compelling mass witness UFO cases ever reported, with students, teachers, and locals in Melbourne, Australia describing strange saucer-shaped objects over the school and nearby ground in April 1966. Shane has spent years researching the event, speaking to witnesses, and piecing together what happened that day, along with the strange aftermath and lasting impact on those involved. A fascinating case, and one well worth revisiting.
