The Kettering Incident

Kettering, the town in which this series is set, was the site of a celebrated UFO sighting in February 1976. Around this time period, Tasmania was considered Australia's biggest UFO hotspot. For instance, just two years following the first Kettering sighting, a pilot reported making contact with an unidentified flying object in nearby King Island. Ten years later, in 1998, hundreds of residents of King Island reportedly saw "strange lights in the sky", with sightings going on for an entire week. As recently as 2013, residents have reported lights floating above their property, darting off in different directions.
