US Government Recovered Material from UFO "it does not recognize"

[Bally002]

Here is another one, it is over 40 years ago and in the Australia to I think.

Pilot’s strange act before UFO sighting

Now, some people think he faked his disappearance using a UFO report because he was into reading and watching anything related to UFO's and Aliens.

But to me, that doesn't tell me way his aircraft disappeared with No Body or Wreckage and Yes he was Frantic when he reported the UFO.

A FLIGHT to an island off Tasmania ended with a terrifying radio call and a vanishing pilot. Forty years on, there’s still no explanation.

“IT IS hovering and it is not an aircraft.”

These are the last words anyone ever heard Frederick Valentich say before his radio cut off and he, and the aircraft he was piloting, were never seen again.
On October 21, 1978, a 20-year-old Valentich rented a single engine plane out of Victoria’s Moorabbin Airport with plans of heading to Tasmania’s King Island to catch seafood.
But things took a terrifying turn when he noticed he was being followed by another aircraft.

It has been 40 years since the young Aussie pilot disappeared over the Bass Strait and in that time no one has come any closer to finding out what happened to him.

The only clue left behind was a radio conversation between him and Melbourne Airflight Service Controller, Steve Robey.
It was 7pm when Valentich radioed in to ask if there were any known aircraft in the area, just after something zoomed overhead.
Robey informed him that there was “no known traffic” in the area and inquired as to what type of plane it was.
“I cannot affirm. It is four bright, it seems to me, like landing lights. The aircraft has just passed over me at least a thousand feet above,” Valentich said.
As the transmission went on things got even more unnerving, with Valentich reporting that the mystery aircraft was “playing” with him.
“It seems to me that he’s playing some sort of game,” he said.
“He’s flying over me two, three times, at a time at speeds I could not identify.”

The conversation continues with the controller trying to get more information about what the object actually is.
Valentich describes it as long, metallic and with a green light.

At one point the aircraft vanishes before suddenly reappearing on his other side.
It’s at this point that Valentich says his final, terrifying words: “It is hovering and it is not an aircraft.”

There is silence for 17 seconds before the transmission abruptly cuts off.

An extensive search was conducted of the water and any surrounding land but Valentich nor any indication of a crash site was ever found.

Your Thoughts.

A tragic disappearance.  I have flown over Bass Strait between Victoria and Tasmania in S2E's.  Also sailed through there on the carrier.  Wild place at times.  Seems a lot of sightings in those late 60's and 70's years.  Freddy's disappearance was confounding.

Also nearby where our Prime Minster Harold Holt disappeared while scuba diving mid 60's.  Most likely an accident off Portsea but there are a lot of conspiracy theories abounding including the kidnapping by a Russian Sub.

Edit to add :- The Moorabbin Airport where Frederick took off is nearby the Westall incident and mentioned in my short story in that Rogue forum.
