Queensland UFO Sightings and Research (QUFOSR) released a video to their YouTube page last Sunday that contains audio of ufologist James E. McDonald discussing the Westall UFO encounter after having interviewed Andrew Greenwood--a science teacher who was one of its witnesses.

The audio is believed to be rare, and this may be its first appearance on YouTube, according to QUFOSR.

The Westall UFO encounter was the sighting of an unidentified flying object by more than 200 students and teachers at two Victorian State schools. The event occurred on April 6th, 1966 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at approximately 11 a.m., and lasted about 20 minutes. The object reportedly descended into a nearby wild grass field before then ascending in a north-westerly direction over the suburb of Clayton South.

The object was described as either a silver-green or grey, purple-hued saucer about twice the size of a family car. It was said by some eyewitnesses to have been pursued by five aircraft, which surrounded the craft as it sped away--although no commercial, private, or Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft reported anything unusual in the area.

Despite the Australian Skeptics insistence that the object was a nylon target drogue--a fabric target towed by a single plane for others to use as target practice, and utilized by the RAAF from 1960 until the late 1970s--witnesses insisted that what they saw was something far stranger.
