A quiet night at an Australian golf resort turned into one of the most astonishing UFO encounters we’ve ever covered. In EP 10: The Wyong UFO Incident, host Justin Gearheart speaks with Clark Watson about a sighting that began as a distant flashing light over the coast and escalated into aerial “orbs” accelerating and chasing each other with impossible agility—then forming a rotating “wheel of light.” Moments later, a vast, organic-looking triangular craft hovered silently above the hotel, moving like a second hand across the sky. Afterward came the strangest twist: missing time and disappearing videos that should have captured the triangle.
Clark—now a field investigator with MUFON Australia—walks us through every detail: the irregular strobing, the darting movements that left light trails, the spoke-like wheel pattern, the texture and concave edges of the triangle, the overwhelming “ontological shock,” and the realization that raw phone footage rarely matches what witnesses perceive. We also explore why oceans might be hotspots, how consciousness could shape what we observe, and why disclosure without mental-health scaffolding could do more harm than good.
If you’re drawn to UFO sightings, alien encounters, paranormal phenomena, consciousness research, and unexplained mysteries, this episode delivers a rare combination of vivid testimony, on-the-scene video context, and hard questions about reality itself.
