12:14Now PlayingIn 1966 on an isolated property, a salt of the earth banana farmer in far north Queensland saw something he couldn’t explain. It looked like a flying saucer and it left behind a circular mark in some reeds, which was dubbed a ‘saucer nest'.
That moment became the inspiration for an international alien hoax, it subjected him to intense ridicule, and it exposed him to the whole chaotic debate about UFOs.
In season four of the ABC’s award-winning Expanse podcast Danielle O’Neal goes from a mosquito-laden lagoon in far north Queensland to the Australian government’s classified UFO files, to the US Congress as she seeks to understand what happened, its legacy and what happens when people say seemingly unbelievable things.
