On October 21, 1978, 20-year-old pilot Frederick Valentich took off from Moorabbin Airport in a Cessna 182, heading toward King Island across the Bass Strait. He never arrived. Minutes before vanishing, Valentich made a chilling radio call describing a strange craft with a green light hovering above him—"It’s not an aircraft," he said. Then, silence. No wreckage. No body. No clear answers.

What happened to Frederick Valentich? In this episode, we explore the mysterious disappearance of the missing pilot over southern Australia in 1978, including potential UFO sightings. Was it a plane crash, or something more paranormal involving aliens?
