Andrew Greenwood

Andrew Greenwood was an Australian science teacher at Westall High School who witnessed a UAP encounter on April 6, 1966, at The Grange near Melbourne, where approximately 350 children and staff watched the UAP hovering before it suddenly shot away and vanished within seconds. His encounter contributed to the documentation of unexplained aerial phenomena over Australia. The UAP was first brought to Greenwood's attention by students, and he interviewed witnesses including an older student who later refused to speak. Military officials allegedly threatened to fire him if he spoke about the incident, and he spoke publicly for the first time in 2021 about the Westall High sightings 55 years prior. As a trained professional, his testimony provided rare adult insight into the events.

Greenwood was interviewed by Dr. James E. McDonald, an American physicist researching UFOs, who recorded details of the meeting. The headmaster ordered everyone back to class and reportedly refused RAAF contact until the UAP was gone. Greenwood experienced issues when trying to speak with other witnesses, aligning with claims of men in black suits warning people. Australia has a significant history of UAP sightings, including the Westall encounter, the Valentich disappearance, and the Wycliffe Well phenomenon. The Westall incident represents the largest mass sighting in human history with 366 pupils and teachers.
