Frederick Valentich was going to King Island to catch seafood. He spotted a metallic object with green lights flying over him 2, 3 times at a time, at very high speeds. He radioed Melbourne\u2019s Air Flight Service for support. By the way, after his signal cut out, he, together with the plane, were never seen again.<\/p>\n<h2>The 1966 Westall sighting<\/h2>\n<p>At 6 am, 6 April 1966, over 200 people at Clayton South\u2019s Westall High School saw a trio of full-blown flying saucers. The saucers were hovering over the trees before going down into the trees and disappearing for a minute or 2. They then rose back up, and then took off at a 1000 miles per hour. Some \u2018men in black\u2019 and military personnel were allegedly seen on site soon after.<\/p>\n<h2>Mysterious Mt. Gambier<\/h2>\n<p>On 18 February 1969, eerie red and green lights were seen flashing in the skies over Mt. Gambier.

Afterward, the family later said that a light beam yanked the car into the air before it plunged it to the ground. In the process, tires were disabled and the cabin was filled with an eerie grey mist and a foul smell.<\/p>\n<h2>Tasmania\u2019s Kettering Incident<\/h2>\n<p>February 1976, a man living outside of Kettering was woken by his young child. He witnessed a \u2018plane\u2019 falling to the shore of Little Oyster Cove. \u00a0The area was covered with a bright glow. The man claims to have seen an extraordinary, humming, dome-shaped object. The next morning, a circular patch of scorched grass was found at the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia has had no shortage of strange encounters of the third kind over the years.
