We’re back poking around in Australia’s weirder history — this time diving into one of the country’s biggest mass UFO sightings. In April 1966, over 200 students, teachers, and locals watched a saucer-shaped craft land in a paddock near Westall High School… before the military turned up and made the evidence — and a lot of the witnesses — go very quiet.
We’ll cover the frantic chase into The Grange, the sudden men-in-black style shutdown, and the mysterious scorched landing site that vanished within hours. We also manage to drift off into some questionable tangents, as per usual, because restraint has never been our strong suit.
If you like UFO mysteries, Australian weirdness, conspiracy theories, and two idiots making each other laugh at inappropriate moments, you’ll feel right at home here.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
