Recently I had what I would describe as a typical UFO encounter. I was standing in the dark in a paddock on my mum’s property in Stanthorpe, Queensland, with my mum and my friend Dave after we had had a few wines. We saw a light moving high above the treeline, seemingly making an erratic path across the sky from east to west. After a few minutes of intense scrutiny, it became very obvious that it was a plane. This is how UFO encounters usually go. The Westall UFO incident was not a typical UFO encounter.
