A while back I happened to stumble across a link to a press conference of some kind. In it, a man (Richard Haines) is presenting the details of the Valentich case to a group. He very clearly can be heard saying that he should not have the audio he’s about to play for them. Wouldn’t you know, he plays the original ATC recording of the Frederick Valentich disappearance. There is a lot of background noise and since it’s a recording of a recording, very hard to hear. I extracted the individual parts as it’s spread across a half hour of him starting and stopping the recording. The case was very intriguing to me so I made a whole 20-minute video on it with information from the case files. If you want a refresher or are unfamiliar with the case, give it a watch!

    I have not heard of this case so I thought I’d share.

    Granted this is from Wikipedia so take that as you wish.

    Frederick Valentich was an Australian pilot who disappeared while on a 125-nautical-mile (232 km) training flight in a Cessna 182L light aircraft, registered VH-DSJ, over Bass Strait. On the evening of Saturday 21 October 1978, twenty-year-old Valentich informed Melbourne air traffic control that he was being accompanied by an aircraft about 1,000 feet (300 m) above him and that his engine had begun running roughly, before finally reporting: “It’s not an aircraft.”

    This is definitely an eerie case. Outside of the transcript and now audio, it comes down to a lot of speculation on what truly transpired. But, it does lend to the long history of aircraft encounters with UAP. I’m curious how much air traffic control audio is out there documenting other encounters.

        Looks like just this case and one of USAF pilot Felix Moncla. Though, some of the descriptions are only a couple words long. After digging on some other Wikipedia articles I have a feeling there’s a stigma about including speculation about UFOs in articles.
