A group of former residents of Melbourne’s south-east say their unexplained sighting from almost 60 years ago still puzzles them.
Colin Kelly was a year 7 schoolboy kicking a football on the oval in Melbourne’s south-east in 1966 when something in the sky caught his eye – and changed how he looked at the world forever.
“Back in those days, we called them flying saucers,” he said. “It was only about 30 of us out on the oval and we’re all just looking around and going, ‘Wow, what’s going on here?’”After the recess bell rang, Kelly says hundreds of students ran outside to witness the unidentified objects land in the nearby reserve – the location of the group’s meet-up on Saturday.
“Within probably half an hour, 40 minutes, we got invaded by the air force, army, police, fire brigade, ambulance – they all came down,” Kelly said. “We got a call back into an assembly and there were about five black-suited people. We got told that we’d seen nothing, just get on with your lives.” Clarke Watson, a member of US-based volunteer group Mutual UFO Network, said attitudes had recently shifted towards a more scientific approach to examining the unexplained.he was part of a group of investigators in Australia who gather information on UFO sightings, sceptically analysing reports and contributing to a public global database.
