UFO sightings in Australia

This is a list of sightings of alleged unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in Australia.

1966

• The Tully Saucer Nest

Main article: Westall High School UFO

• At around 10:30 a.m on 6 April 1966, many students and some staff at Westall High School (now called Westall Secondary College), in Rosebank Avenue, Clayton South, Victoria witnessed a UFO fly over their school, and then descend into a paddock behind the school.

1978

Main article: Valentich Disappearance

• The Valentich Disappearance occurred on 21 October 1978, when 20 year old Frederick Valentich disappeared while piloting a small Cessna 182 aircraft over Bass Strait to King Island (Tasmania) 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 Nullarbor Plain in South Australia.
