It began in early 1946 with a report out of Finland of something streaking across the sky at a high altitude. Soon more stories came in of similar sightings from Norway, and even more from Sweden. 1946 had become the year of what we now call the Swedish ghost rockets, unexplained bright objects moving across the sky, during both the day and night, frightening and confusing eyewitnesses. Some say fragments were recovered, and others say the objects were tracked on Swedish Air Force radar."

History/IASH Documentary Series 2019: Westall ’66: A Suburban UFO Mystery

3 September 2019 4:00pm–6:00pm

Westall ’66: A Suburban UFO Mystery (2010, 49 mins) Directed by: Rosie Jones

On the morning of 6 April 1966, in the suburb of Westall in Melbourne’s inner east, hundreds of school students witnessed a strange object hovering above their school, before landing in a nearby nature reserve. There it remained for several minutes, before it lifted off again and vanished. Later that day, news crews and TV cameras descended on the school.

The Westall incident should have caused a sensation. But the film taken by news crews was never aired; the newspaper articles never published. Was there a conspiracy? Or was the Westall incident the result of a collective delusion? The overactive imagination of children? Or are there other explanations altogether?

Rosie Jones’s Westall ’66 re-examines this remarkable and haunting incident through a series of harrowing and sometimes inspiring interviews with eyewitnesses. The unlikely subject-matter of this documentary provides material that goes well beyond the questions of fact at the core of the mystery, and engages with legacies of the incident and its aftermath including issues of trust, doubt, and trauma.

This event is sponsored by HASS Student Futures. The screening will be followed by FREE DRINKS AND SNACKS and a panel discussion with Dr Adam Dodd (SCA) and Dr Leigh Penman (IASH) – with plenty of opportunity for audience Q&A."
