On 6 April 1966, in the Melbourne suburb of Westall, about 200 students, staff and local residents watched as a strange object appeared overhead, landed briefly nearby, then took to the sky and vanished. The event took about twenty minutes. Witnesses described the object as low flying, silver-gray and shiny, and shaped like a 'cup turned upside down on a saucer'. There were five light aircraft apparently tracking or 'shadowing' it. The incident was reported on the television news that night and in the local newspapers
