Frederick Valentich’s Disappearance
Frederick Valentich’s Disappearance Frederick Valentich was twenty years old who was fascinated by the idea of Aliens and UFO’s and he researched websites and books to discover many sightings known around the area. Valentich needed flying time, but the trips he made before his disappearance, were a fail. He had another trip planned out to fly over Bass Strait to King’s Island. This flight would be a solo flight for him and was a 125 mile flight from his home town, Melbourne, Australia. On October 21, 1978, Valentich made his way to King’s Island. Not even half way through, Valentich spotted an object in the sky with him. Thinking it was an aircraft carrier, he radioed in to Melbourne communications, and asked if there were any other planes in the area, the answer was no. The object disappeared from sight and came back a few seconds later, but this time it was closer. The guy that Valentich was talking to over the radio asked Valentich to describe it. He told communications that it was shiny and metallic with three lights and one green light that wrapped around the exterior of the object. Valentich told operators that it seemed as if the unidentified object was playing games with him. The last words that was said from Valentich was, “It is not an aircraft,” then there was a loud scratching sound and the radio signal was lost. Researchers
