Westall 66 Revisited: Shane Ryan on Australia’s Schoolyard UFO Mystery
4/6/20261 hr 12 min
On the 60th anniversary of the Westall incident, I’m re-releasing this conversation with researcher Shane Ryan, originally recorded in December 2022.
Shane has spent years investigating one of the most remarkable mass sighting cases in UFO history: the 1966 Westall event in Melbourne, Australia, where students, teachers, and others reported seeing strange flying saucer-shaped objects over and near the school grounds.
In this interview, Shane breaks down what witnesses said they saw, the reported aftermath on the ground, the response from authorities, and why the case still stands as one of the most important and debated schoolyard UFO encounters ever reported.
If you’re new to the Westall case, or want to revisit one of the most compelling incidents from outside the United States, this is a great place to start.

Hi, I'm Richard Karn, and you may have seen me on TV talking about the world's number one expandable garden hose. Well, the brand-new Pocket Hose Copperhead with Pocket Pivot is here, and it's a total game changer.

When you're all done, this rust-proof, anti-burst hose shrinks back down to pocket size for effortless handling and tidy storage. Plus, your super light and ultra-durable Pocket Hose Copperhead is backed with a ten-year warranty. What could be better than that? I'll tell you what, an exciting exclusive offer just for you.
