Westall High School sighting

During morning break, students and at least one teacher at Westall High School saw a silvery object descend behind trees into an open paddock, with some describing light aircraft circling it; students who ran over reported one to three flattened or burnt circles of grass. Contemporary press suggested a weather balloon. Researcher Keith Basterfield found records of a HIBAL radiation-monitoring balloon launched from Mildura that may have come down near the school, and Brian Dunning suggested an aircraft-towed target drogue for the later part. Systematic interviews began only in the 2000s, and early accounts already differed on the number and shape of objects.

  Multiple named historical cases (1947 Weather Bureau discs, Portland 1947, New Mexico 1947, Misawa Japan 1952, Southern California/Kelly Johnson, Exeter NH 1965, Westall Australia 1966, Beverly MA 1966, Malmstrom AFB, Portage County OH, Redlands CA 1968, Broad Haven UK, Ariel School Zimbabwe) each describe a metallic/silver disc wobbling, tilting, or oscillating on its edge.

  You do see a consistency here, right?
