Today is the 30th anniversary one of Australia's most mysterious missing persons cases. (sorry about the off-topic)

Pilot Frederick Valentich left Moorabbin airport for King Island. He radioed that he passed Cape Otway at 7:00pm. Six minutes later he radioed Flight Service Unit operator Steve Robey and the conversation they had made international headlines.

Valentich and his plane were never seen again.

A single search of the word "Valentich" in an internet search engine will tell you many versions of the story and the conspiracy theorists theorys of the incident.

I have provided here some documents that detail aspects of the story. All but the summary report as far as I'm aware have never been published on the net or on paper, so fingers crossed that the men in black suits will not knock on my door tonight :).

RIP Valentich.

Equinox,

I knew him when he was in the RAAF (albeit, very briefly).

Sure is a mystery.

Cheers,

Cruiser

I was based at East Sale in 1975 and went back there on exercises occasionally. I never met Valentich that I know of but remember the case.

There are a lot of things out there that we do not know about !

27 years ago on a stormy night, a Cessna carrying four people (including a Police Inspector) disappeared near Barrington Tops - not a trace has been found since.

I was a part of the ongoing search last weekend, as well as 2 weeks after it disappeared.

I believe, I believe, I believe

We had been back to King Island, only 1 month after that incident, and there were some really strange sightings, by the locals, all about the same time. Had to be something there because, as I spoke to some of my mates over there, they would go into "bristle mode", and take up a whole different characteristic, with their personality.

Well, being the sceptic that I am, if some supreme being from another galaxy was able to pluck an aircraft out of the sky 30 years ago.....well, they would have taken control of this planet by now.

We do have enough tecnolgy to know that the distances needed to be travelled, even at immense speeds, to reach another solar system with a "Sun" would take thousands of years.

Whilst I don't doubt that there is "life" out there somewhere, it is so far way that we will never meet.

Sorry, technology.

And, solar system with a "Sun", how bad was that?

I recon Valentich & Harold Holt are probably sipping Daquari's by the beach somewhere on a planet orbiting a sun somewhere in the pleades.

I know this from stray signals picked up on my tin foil lined armadillo hat! ;o)

Cheers!

Not reported in the above referenced wiki article, was a book written by a colleague of Frederick Valentich, one Stan Deyo- called the Cosmic Cionspiracy. ISBN: 0 947117 33 4
First printing Nov 1978

In it Deyo claims he released (published) his book - to save his life from the so called men in black...

He claims that He was a bright young US scientist and that he befreinded Frederick Valentich - when he was recruited/seconded from the RAAF - when the two of them worked forthe US governement in a covert "UFO" propulsion Research Project.

Deyo moved to Australia when he and Valentich "left" the US military program - and when Valentich "dissapeared"- Deyo published his book - purportedly to prevent the MIB's from being able to "dissapear him" in a similar manner in order to silence him.

In his book Deyo, dislcoses his reasearch on electrodynamic propulsion and Eisnsteins relativity error.

These days heleads somekinda religious cult & lives back in the USA

Whether he and velentich were somehow involved in the MK Ultra (LSD) experiments are not known.

The thing is - they are both very mysterious, and some how related, yet nothing is ever mentioned about Deyo these days - and the obvious links between the two are never made public such as the wiki article.

Both Valentich and Deyo werre apart of one of Hoovers teams subliminally programmed thru hypnotism - and whenHoover wentto war with the CIA and kennedy died - Valentich & Deyo were sent to Australia to lay low...

Valentich disapeared - Deyo wrote his book...

People who want t "understand" - would do well to read the book - you need to realise the uS were reverse engineering technology found in a downed UFO since 1947 at Roswell.

Both Deyo & Valentich were a aprt of that covert operation.

Looks a lot like Valentich was silenced if you ask me.

Amazing what you learn on the tinfoil lined armadillo hat channel! ;o)

Cheers
