In 2019, the United States Navy finally admitted that UFOs not only exist, but that they have been tracking and studying them for years, and they are now referring to them as UAPs, also known as unidentified aerial phenomena.

While this admission came as no surprise to many of us, it was validation for thousands of people across the country, who had been previously told by authorities that UFOs aren't real.

But for many people around the world, the painfully slow pace in which many governments divulge declassified information is too little, too late.

And the stories in today's episode are in my opinion, striking examples of blatant cover-ups involving some very bizarre incidents, some of which are becoming more well-known because of information that is surfaced within the last couple of decades, which leads me to our first story, known most prominently, as the Westl UFO incident.

The first time it happened, I was sleeping and woke up because I felt a hand on my leg, and I realized that I couldn't move.

And he come across this object on the ground, which was a shape of a flying saucer, so he jumped out of his pickup and went down there, and there was four beings laying on the ground.

When I raised my head back up, I was turning my head and out of my peripheral vision, I seen something hopped to a tree, and it was tall about seven eight foot tall, and it was black, real hairy, like a gorilla.

Welcome to the Paranormal Mysteries Podcast, and thank you for being here. I'm your host, Nick Ryan.

April 6, 1966, was a typical Wednesday at Westl High School, now known as Westl Secondary College, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Students and teachers were busy going about their day in the usual manner, but something was about to take place outside of the school grounds that was rather unusual indeed.

At approximately 11 a.m., a class of students and a teacher from Westl High School were just completing a sports activity outside, when an object described as being a grey, saucer-shaped craft with a slight purple hue, and being about twice the size of a family car, was alleged to have been seen.

According to witnesses, the object was descending, and then crossed and over flew the High School's southwest corner, going in a south-easterly direction, before disappearing from sight, as it descended behind a stand of trees, and into a paddock, known as the Grange, which is just southwest of the school.

The children at the school were, of course, mesmerized as were the teachers on duty, so they jumped the fence towards the wooded area where the UFO had disappeared behind, as the teachers told them to return.

According to a witness, one of the girls made it over to where the UFO had landed while it was still there, and was found unconscious, and had to be taken away in an ambulance.

According to the same witness, she never returned to school after that day.

Before most of the eyewitnesses could reach where the UFO had landed, it apparently rose up and took off at what they all said was incredible speeds.

When it was all said and done, a mixture of approximately 300 students and teachers had witnessed the bizarre aerial phenomena, and the entire ordeal was said to have lasted about 20 minutes.

The children were all told to go back to the school and head to their respective classes, while the police showed up.

The police came and talked to a few of the adult witnesses, and then the headmaster of the school, called an unscheduled assembly to discuss what had happened, and told the students that what they saw was not an extraterrestrial craft, but something man-made, such as a weather balloon, and told them not to repeat what they had seen that day to anyone.

At the same time, the other teachers at the school reported the two men in dark blue suits had come and talked to them about what they saw.

They were also told not to discuss what they saw that day, especially to the press.
