So Bally, what are your thoughts regarding the incident.
At the time, I guess I had no thoughts. 50 years on after seeing the documentaries, videos and write ups I can only imagine that something very
unusual (not a flamin balloon) did appear, settle and rise again from in "The Grange". (Site of a Ufo playground).
Just getting back to the planes. The air traffic on the day I heard it was different than than the normal Cessna landings and takeoffs.
I'm sure somebody postured that the planes were perhaps RAAF training planes.
en.wikipedia.org... Could have been.
Point Cook was just across the bay - RAAF Williams Point Cook base is the former home of the RAAF College including Officer Training School (OTS) and
the RAAF Academy from 1961 to 1985, and is currently used for the Air Force element of the Australian Defence Force Gap Year Program.
RAAF Laverton wasn't far away either.
Mr. Greenwood described it as a round, silver object about the size of a car with a metal rod sticking up in the air.
According to Dr. McDonald, the teacher then told him five planes came and surrounded the object as more people began gathering to watch the scene
before them.
“He called it the most amazing flying he had ever seen in his life,” Dr. McDonald said.
“The planes were doing everything possible to approach the object and he said how they all avoided collision he will never know.
“Every time they got too close to the object it would slowly accelerate, then rapidly accelerate and then move away from them and stop. Then they
would take off after it again and the same thing would happen.”
This game of cat and mouse reportedly went on for about 20 minutes and by this time Mr. Greenwood said 350 children and staff were watching on.
