Silver Disc Lands on Westall High School Oval — Melbourne, Australia

My name is Jacqueline Argent. In April 1966 I was a student at Westall High School in Clayton South, Melbourne. On the morning of April 6, 1966, during a morning break, I and many other students and several teachers observed a silver or dull chrome saucer-shaped object fly low over the school and descend into the open paddock to the southeast, beyond the pine trees that ran along the boundary. The craft was roughly twice the size of a family car. It was completely silent. Several students and I ran toward it. When we got through the trees and into the paddock the object was resting on the ground or hovering just above it. It was smooth, no windows that I could see, perfectly circular from above. It was there for perhaps two to three minutes. Then it rose rapidly, tilted at an angle, and departed to the northwest at high speed. The grass in the area where it had been was flattened in a circular pattern. Several students who had been closest said they felt physically unwell afterward. Our science teacher, Mr. Greenwood, was watching from the school grounds. Later that day we were all told by the principal and by several men in suits who arrived at the school that we were not to talk about what we had seen. Teachers were apparently threatened with dismissal if they spoke to anyone. I have spoken openly about it for years. I know what I saw. So do the two hundred other people who were standing in that schoolyard.
