1978: Australian UFO alien abduction unsolved – Frederick Valentich case

In 1978 a report of a pilot-UFO encounter became a classic UFO mystery. Twenty-year-old Australian Frederick Valentich was buzzed by a UFO, and a search by boats and aircraft could find no trace of the pilot, or his plane. Valentich was on a 125 mile training flight in his single engine Cessna 182 along the coast of Bass Strait when he related to air traffic controllers in Melbourne that he was being buzzed by a UFO with 4 bright lights about 1000 feet above him.

“It’s Coming for Me… “:

The pilot’s final communication to the tower contained this enigmatic, haunting phrase:

“It’s approaching from due east towards me. It seems to be playing some sort of game… flying at a speed I can’t estimate. It’s not an aircraft. It’s… it is flying past. It is a long shape. I cannot identify more than that. It’s coming for me right now.”

Pilot’s Last Words:

About a minute later this message followed:

“It seems to be stationary. I’m also orbiting and the thing is orbiting on top of me also. It has a green light and a sort of metallic light on the outside.”

Valentich then radioed that his engine was running roughly. His very last words were: “It is not an aircraft.”
