UFO High Impact - Westall and the amazing wave of 1966 - 50th anniversary

With the 50th anniversary of the UFO HIGH IMPACT year of 1966 here are some personal images that reflect my own engagement with that awesome year in Australian UFO history: 








being interviewed by the History Channel on Tully with Sydney Harbour bridge as backdrop; 











with Albert Pennisi, the owner of Horseshoe Lagoon - site of the famous daylight UFO incident in January 1966 - photo with Albert taken at UFO Research Qld's 2006 conference; 











the 3 "UFO amigos" at Westall in 2006 - Shane Ryan, George Simpson and me; at the Westall UFO theme park in 2015; 











at Westall school in 2005;











in the Department of Defence in 1982 taking over the DPR's desk examining the RAAF's UFO files;










at Burkes Flat in 1980 pointing at the tree that Ron Sullivan hit in 1966 when his car headlight beams bent in the presence of a UFO (Gary Taylor tragically died colliding with the same tree a few days later); 











with the 2 powerhouses behind the excellent documentary Westall '66 - a suburban UFO mystery - Carmel McAloon & Rosie Jones in 2006 at Westall; 

and my "forensic" drawing reconstruction of Victor Zackary's Westall experience in 1966.
1966 was an extraordinary year for high impact UFO events. Tully, Burkes Flat and Westall are the most prominent of these. There are other physical trace stories and events far stranger, such as apparent abduction events during that same year, long before such experience became a major part of the generally accepted UFO controversy. There is much more to be revealed about the extraordinary year of 1966.


Looks like I'll be on the Channel 10 TV next Wednesday April 6 2016 (about 10.30 am) coverage of the Westall anniversary.

I will be giving a lecture – “UFO High Impact - Westall and the amazing wave of 1966 revisited” at the Paracon 2016 event at Katoomba in late May 2016.
Time/Location: Sunday May 29th 2016 1030AM-1130AM in Blue Mountains Cultural Centre.
In the 50th anniversary year the extraordinary UFO wave of 1966, focusing on the striking Westall school case, the Tully UFO landing, the Burkes Flat "bent headlight beam" case, the Balwyn UFO photo, a Penrith close encounter and the Bankstown "saucer nest", is examined by UFO researcher, historian and author of "The OZ Files - the Australian UFO Story" and "Hair of the Alien - DNA and other Forensic Evidence of Alien Abductions Bill Chalker.
Note: There will be a screening of Westall 66 in The Blue Mountains Cultural Centre following this talk. (12PM-1PM) Check schedule for clarification.
I will also be interviewed on this theme by George Knapp on Coast to Coast radio on Monday, April 18, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm Sydney time as a way of covering the 50th anniversary of these extraordinary events – a time of UFO High Impact.
