Person
Andrew Greenwood
Also known as Greenwood, Mr Greenwood
- Science teacher, Westall High School (1966)
Science teacher at Westall High School who saw the 1966 object after a pupil ran into his class. He gave interviews close to the time and again decades later (7NEWS Spotlight, 2021), and his account has stayed consistent: an object over the school grounds, followed by pressure from RAAF officers to stay silent. As a civilian he is not an official source, but Westall qualifies under the mass-sighting rule.
