Learn more and order at: https://www.letsgetanomalous.com/ Sixty years ago, in the quiet suburb of Westall, Australia, an extraordinary event unfolded that would become one of the most compelling mass UFO sightings in history. On April 6th, 1966, hundreds of students and teachers at Westall High School witnessed strange aerial objects maneuvering in ways that defied explanation… and possibly even landing nearby. Yet despite the sheer number of eyewitnesses, the case was quickly buried, dismissed, and, according to many, deliberately silenced. In this special anniversary episode, Ryan is joined by Australian UFO researcher and host of The Unexplained Rundown, Grant Lavac, to revisit the Westall incident through the voices of those who were there. From firsthand testimonies of schoolchildren who saw flying saucers hovering and darting across the sky, to reports of a rapid military response, witness intimidation, and confiscated evidence, the layers of this mystery only deepen with time. Together, they break down the key witness accounts, including those who claim the object landed, leaving physical traces, and explore the enduring questions: What did these students really see? Why were they told to stay silent? And why, six decades later, has no official explanation ever been given?
