In Miami, Florida, a large group at Crestview elementary school students and their professors have two close encounters with UFOs in a row.

“I can’t find much provenance to this story after much searching the net, if you find anything let us know, contact me at mark@ce5k.org

There is a Face book page dedicated to getting the truth uncovered.

The 6-8 April, 1967 Crestview Elementary School UFO incident. The Crestview and Westall incidents share many similarities. These new student witnesses from Florida, like many of the ones at Westall, have commented to me how they almost never talk about what they saw all those years ago, because of the ridicule factor.

This is another sighting at an Australian school in 1967.

At approximately 11:00 am on Wednesday, 6 April 1966, students and a teacher from Westall High School (now Westall Secondary College) reported seeing a flying object, described as a grey (or silvery-green) saucer-shaped craft with a slight purple hue and about twice the size of a family car. According to the students, the object was descending, overflew the high school, and disappeared behind a stand of trees. Approximately 20 minutes later the object reportedly reappeared, climbed at speed and departed towards the north-west. Some accounts describe the object as being pursued by five unidentified aircraft.[1][2]

Australian newspaper The Age described it as a weather balloon:

“Object Perhaps Balloon – An unidentified flying object seen over the Clayton-Moorabbin area yesterday morning might have been a weather balloon. Hundreds of children and a number of teachers at Westall School, Clayton, watched the object during morning break. The Weather Bureau released a balloon at Laverton at 8:30 am and the westerly wind blowing at the time could have moved it into the area where the sighting was reported”. The newspaper also said a number of small aeroplanes circled around it. However, a check later showed that no commercial, private or RAAF pilots had reported anything unusual in the area.
