Science class watched domed disc maneuver at tree tops. Planes chase.
An object was observed. Traces found. One domed disc, about 20 feet across, was observed by several witnesses in a residential area for 20 minutes (Greenwood).
In a confusing and covered up incident numerous independent witnesses including dozens of schoolchildren and teachers from the local Westall High school watched a metallic disc shaped craft land on nearby field, then take off again, while several Cessna-type aircraft and other silvery "plane-like" objects circled the area. Some witnesses found a perfect circle of flattened grass on the ground while others encountered military or government personnel in the area who warned them to stay away. Some witnesses described seeing a cow in the paddock, where the object came down. It was alleged to have been in such a distressed state that it eventually had to be put down. One student who arrived before the others was found to be in a dazed trance like state. Other schoolchildren saw the object on the ground and a normal looking man in white coveralls walking around it, telling everyone to stay back. Another man appeared, this one wearing a dark uniform with an emblem or a logo on it. One of the men was seeing entering the object, while the other disappeared. The object emitted a loud humming sound then took off.
Hynek rating: CE2: Close Encounters of the Second Kind
