The Westall incident, Min Min lights, and the ancient haunted continent
Australia's paranormal record combines one of the world's most compelling mass UAP sightings with a deep Indigenous tradition of supernatural landscape. The 1966 Westall incident in suburban Melbourne — over 200 student and teacher witnesses to a landed craft that subsequently departed leaving physical trace evidence — is among the best-witnessed UAP events in history and remains inadequately explained. The Min Min lights of outback Queensland have been reported for over a century. New Zealand contributed the Kaikoura UFO footage of 1978, some of the most studied aerial UAP video ever captured.
