𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗨𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦 - AN ALIEN INVASION? 𝟲𝟬 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗡

What really happened in that lagoon in 1966? Why does this case still intrigue researchers around the world? And what haven’t we been told?

This January marks 60 years since the mysterious Tully Saucer Nest sighting, one of Australia’s most iconic UFO cases. To commemorate the anniversary, the Australian UFO Festival 2026 will host the C-Files Forum, officially showcasing the Tully Nests case, revisiting witness accounts, evidence, and the lasting impact this extraordinary event has had on the region and beyond.

Ground Control is calling on locals – past and present – who may have information, stories, memories, or family connections to the event. Every detail helps build a clearer picture of what happened, particularly accounts relating to the reported footprints found at the site.

If you have information to share, you can do so confidentially and anonymously if preferred. Your voice matters, and this anniversary is the perfect opportunity to preserve a unique piece of local history. Information can be emailed to groundcontrol@australianufofestival.com.au, or if you’d prefer to speak directly, you can call Thea on 0447 660 248.

The forum will also feature Shane Pennisi, who will speak about how the Tully Nests case has impacted his life personally. Shane says, “Now is the time for the whole truth to be told.”

This is more than a case file. This is part of the region’s history. If you have information or stories to share, contact Ground Control or Thea to ensure your voice is included in this landmark anniversary.
