The Tully UFO Nests, a baffling phenomenon, were discovered on January 19, 1966, in the small town of Tully, Queensland. A local farmer, George Pedley, reported seeing a flying saucer-like object hovering over his property before it flew away, leaving behind a series of circular indentations in the ground. These “nests” appeared to be the result of a large, heavy object landing and taking off, though no physical trace of the craft itself was ever found. Pedley’s story gained widespread media attention, sparking a wave of UFO sightings and interest in the area. Investigations into the Tully UFO Nests suggested that they might have been the result of an unusual natural occurrence, but to this day, no definitive explanation has been found. The incident remains one of the most well-known UFO cases in Australian history and has contributed to the country’s ongoing fascination with extraterrestrial phenomena. The Tully UFO Nests continue to intrigue and mystify both UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike. Join Holly and Matthew as they investigate the Tully UFO nests.

Episode 085 - The Tully UFO Nest Incident (1966)

Welcome to "Weird Crap in Australia," a podcast hosted by Holly and Matthew, a husband and wife team with a passion for all things strange and unusual in the land down under. Each episode, Holly, a trained historian, and Matthew, a pop-culture enthusiast, dive into the weird and wacky aspects of Australian history and society. From the colonial era to the present day, they explore topics such as aliens, monsters, ghosts, and true crime, uncovering the stories and legends that have fascinated Australians for generations. As a social historian, Holly provides a unique perspective on the cultural significance of these strange phenomena, while Matthew brings his expertise in pop-culture to the table, offering insights into how these stories have been portrayed in movies, TV shows, and other media. With a mix of humor and insight, "Weird Crap in Australia" is the perfect podcast for anyone who loves to explore the oddities and quirks of our world. Join Holly and Matthew as they take you on a journey through the strange and wonderful world of Australia's weirdest stories. *** Did you know a full firefight between MPs and soldiers took place in Central Station (Sydney) in February 1916, and you can still find the bullet holes in the pillars? Did you know that one of Australia’s convict ships was waylaid by Americans during the aftermath of the American Revolution in 1815? Did you know we have a dinosaur called Qantassaurus, and that most Australian fossil expeditions of the 1970s and 1980s were sponsored by corporations, rather than the government? Did you know that the majority of the miners that took part in the Eureka Stockade of 1854 were Chinese, African-American, or from other ‘minority’ groups? And that the Victorian Gold Rush is where Australia learned to love Chinese food? There’s a lot of history when it comes to this country - even just in the last 200 years - and very little of it is taught in our school systems. We feel that, in order to preserve the past, we have to get it out there into the minds of the present, and hopefully apply those lessons to the future. If you agree, we'd love you to join us. New episodes release 12pm AEDST/AEST every Monday. ______ Main Theme music – Kevin MacLeod "Slow Ticking Clock" – Kevin MacLeod Used under a Creative Commons license.
