Saw a news article on the Frankston (Victoria) 1966 UFO incident,there is a big documentary on Foxtell tonight on it,I'd like to watch it,can someone watch it and let us know what the program was like.I do not have Foxtell.

I hope I am aloud to talk about this event on IIS,as most would 'poo-hoo' such reports,But going by the news article I saw,there really was a 'hush up' by the military about this.Why?-the item seen may very well have just been a miltary item ending up in wrong area of sky after test,UFO stands for unidentified flying object,not fly saucer.so it would really be interesting to hear and see all the facts.

As we all know,T.V chanels sensationalize things for their own benifit.But something must have went on that day over frankston,200 school kids cant all tell the same story,and school teachers and principals-its not in their job description to tell stories,The most compelling bit I thought was that one of the school teachers had a fairly good camera took photos,the military forced the camera from her,not just the film (if they did that to me,they would have to prize that L 400 out my stone cold dead hand)giggles.

But it does all seem a bit odd,be interesting to know a bit more about the incident.

Its most unlikely that there are flying saucers etc.As they are never recorded by amateur astronomers who are often (when its not cloudy,more giggles)outside at night.with all the equipment we have and the time spent doing what we do it does seem odd that no one has ever got footage of such an event,for good reason-most things can be explained by regular sky watchers.

But the Frankston event is an interesting one,hope someone can watch it tonight.

cheers Chris
