UFO sightings in Australia
- UFO sightings in Australia
This is a list of sightings of alleged unidentified flying objects or UFOs in Australia.
1966
* At around 10:30 a.m on April 6, 1966, many students and some staff at Westall High School (now called Westall Secondary College), in Rosebank Avenue, Clayton South, Victoria, Australia, witnessed a UFO fly over their school, and then descend into a paddock behind the school.
1978
* The Valentich Disappearance occurred on October 21, 1978, when 20 year old Frederick Valentich disappeared while piloting a small Cessna 182 aircraft over the Bass Strait to King Island, Australia, after reporting a strange craft flying nearby. The disappearance generated significant press attention, both throughout Australia and internationally. No trace of Valentich or his Cessna has been found, and his description of a large, unusual object has earned his vanishing a place in UFO lore. A Department of Transport aircraft accident investigation concluded the reason for the disappearance could not be determined.
1988
* On 21 January 1988 a family came in contact with a UFO while travelling through Nullabor Plain in South Australia. [http://www.ovnis.atfreeweb.com/nullarbor_plain_1988.htm]
