The Disappearance of Frederick Valentich
The disappearance of Frederick Valentich is a mysterious event that occurred on October 21, 1978. Frederick Valentich, a 20-year-old pilot from Australia, was flying a Cessna 182L light aircraft over Bass Strait in Victoria when he made a distressing radio transmission to the Melbourne Air Traffic Control tower. The transcript of his conversation with the tower reveals the eerie circumstances surrounding his disappearance:
Frederick Valentich: Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet. Is there any known traffic below 5,000 feet?
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, no known traffic.
Frederick Valentich: Delta Sierra Juliet, I am… seems to be a large aircraft below 5,000 feet.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, what type of aircraft is it?
Frederick Valentich: Delta Sierra Juliet, I cannot affirm. It is four bright… it seems to me like landing lights.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, could you identify the aircraft?
Frederick Valentich: Delta Sierra Juliet, affirmative. It’s a long shape… cannot identify more than it has such speed. It’s before me right now, Melbourne.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger. What is your actual level?
Frederick Valentich: Delta Sierra Juliet, my level is 4,500. Four-five-zero-zero.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, and you confirm you cannot identify the aircraft?
Frederick Valentich: Delta Sierra Juliet, affirmative.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger. Standby.
At this point in the conversation, there was a brief pause before the radio transmission became distorted, and a metallic scraping sound could be heard. The transmission resumed, but this time it was even more chilling.
Frederick Valentich: Delta Sierra Juliet, it’s not an aircraft.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, can you describe the aircraft?
Frederick Valentich: Delta Sierra Juliet, as it’s flying past, it’s a long shape… I cannot identify more than it has such speed… uh, before me right now, Melbourne.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger. What are your intentions?
Frederick Valentich: My intentions are – ah – to go to King Island… ah, Melbourne. That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again. It is hovering, and it’s not an aircraft.
Air Traffic Control: Delta Sierra Juliet.
Following this transmission, all contact with Frederick Valentich was lost. Despite an extensive search and rescue operation, neither Valentich nor his aircraft were ever found. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance have sparked numerous theories and speculations, ranging from a UFO encounter to pilot error or deliberate action on Valentich’s part.
To this day, the case of Frederick Valentich remains unsolved, leaving behind a haunting mystery and raising questions about what truly happened during that fateful flight over Bass Strait
