Konstantin Khazanovich Active Member of the Russian Federation Geographic Society In UFO Magazine No. 4 (38) in the article “UFO “steal” cars “a glimpse of a story c the disappearance of the Australian pilot Frederick Valentic. Meanwhile this case is one of the most reliable in the ufological literature and the urge for readers to log “UFO” met him in more detail. Maybe those of them who Until the last time, even with a lack of confidence and a skepticism related UFO problem, will change their opinion after this. First about the place where The mysterious disappearance of Valentine’s plane occurred. It – The Bass Strait separating Australia from the island of Tasmania. Like To the Bermuda Triangle, this strait has reduced the fame to itself, for over the past hundred years it has been repeatedly celebrated Mysterious disappearances of ships and planes, often UFOs were observed. So, the Melbourne newspaper “Argus” in 1886 reported that according to the testimony of many eyewitnesses over Bassov A famous cigar-shaped object flew by. In July 1920 in the strait the schooner “St. Amalia” disappeared. Crews of two ships, who went to search for her, found a “big fire” in the bay, which they allegedly tied with a schooner. This area was the plane with two pilots is directed to the side, however, it is also pale disappeared. On the morning of October 19, 1934 the plane “Mis Hobart” postal Tasmanian services with 12 passengers on board for unidentified circumstances have been lost in the strait, presumably in several kilometers from the Wilson-Promontory Peninsula. One night February 1944, the Bjuford bomber flying at an altitude of 1,500 meters over the Basin Strait, met with unidentified the object described by the crew as a “black shadow” with flickering by the light and flame behind her. Unknown for 18-20 minutes the object was located next to an airplane at a distance of 30 – 50 meters from him. All radio communications and orientations at this time left stop. Finally, the object was removed from the plane at a speed, exceeding, according to the pilots, its own speed of 3 times, and she at this time was 250 km / h. Description of Similar The accidents in the Basin Strait could have continued. But they as, however, and other cases of the appearance of UFOs in Australia, not received such widespread knowledge as the mysterious disappearance 22-year-old pilot Frederick Valentic and his one-seater airplane “Cesna-182” October 21, 1978. It all happened over the same Bass spill in 19 hours 12 minutes when the radio connection was interrupted with a pilot who reported on his meeting with UFOs. Indications of several dozens of eyewitnesses give reason to believe that the meeting with Valentich c UFO was by no means an accidental event. Investigation of all of these The case was made by the Victorian UFO Society led by its Chairperson Paul Norton. 18.19. F.Valentich flew out of Melbourne and took the train to King Islands. 18.45. Roy Mainfield, a resident of Melbourne, made a series of shots of the setting sun over the Bass Strait and at the same time accidentally took a photo a cloud-like object flying out of the ocean. Using a computer was The analysis of the taken pictures, which showed that the speed the movement of the “cloud” amounted to 300 km / h, which, under full calmness that evening, does not allow him to be considered natural education. 18.50, Western Outskirts of Melbourne. Two witnesses in within 5 minutes was observed in the direction of Geelong round an object with rays of light that looked “three times larger than the evening stars “. 19.06 – 19.12, Bassov spilling near Cape Otway. Meeting Valenticha with UFO. 20.00, Ringwood (East Melbourne). Eyewitnesses observed a star-shaped object in the north-west, flying, according to their estimates, to the north-east at an altitude of about 900 meters. At the ends of a five-pointed (“marine”) star and in various points along arcs connecting these ends, pulsating white lights. inside the “stars” were visible rectangles, softly all colors shone spectrum. The brightest glow was observed in the central part of the object. Witnesses involved before the object appears by training negotiations with the help of two radio transmitters were forced to abandon this lesson because of strong radio interference. 21.00, Kunsklift, southwest of Melbourne, on to the other side of the bay. Witnesses observed a luminous object similar to a spinning wheel. 22 hours 30 minutes, Blackwood, to north east of Cape Otway. Six witnesses within 40 minutes observed in the north-east part of the sky brightly glowing white with light, the object with red and green lights on the left and right. Behind all the time of observations, no sounds from the object came, but the TV continuously fluttered and did not lend itself to tuning. Lamps in the kitchen and the living room went out. The horses in the backyard were behaving restlessly. The eyewitness accounts provided indicate that that on October 21 in the area of the Basin Strait was repeatedly observed abnormal light objects, the characteristics of which give rise to count them to the UFO category. Thus, the message of Valentich about the appearance of UFOs in the area of the ill-fated cape Otway well fits into general picture of observations. Consider now the document – text tape recording from 06/19 to 12/12 of Frederick radio operators Valentich and flight manager of the Melbourne Flight Service, Steve Robi. Valentich: Melbourne, is there anyone below 1,500 meters? Dispatcher: There are no aircraft. V .: It seems to me, below is a large plane. D: What type of aircraft? V .: I can’t determine. He has 4 bright fire type landing … Melbourne, the plane just passed me about a thousand higher. It travels at high speed. Are there any military aircraft in this area? D: no There are no planes in this area. W .: Melbourne, he is approaching now to me from the east … It seems to me that he is leading some kind of game with me – flew over me three times at a speed that I can’t to determine. D: Confirm that you cannot identify plane V .: I confirm … D: Describe what you see. W .: He flew by now, he has an elongated shape … I can not identify him with nothing. Now he is returning to me again right. D: Vas understood. Tell me what the size of the object. W .: now he seems motionless. I do the right turn, and the object too turns over me. A green light comes from him, and outside he has a metallic luster … It has just disappeared. D .: Airplane all still with you? V .: Now he is approaching from the south-west … The motor is not pulls and sneezes, I need to go on a landing. D: What are you going to do? W .: Melbourne, this strange airplane is again above me. is he depended … and this is not an airplane … These were the last words of a young Australian Yugoslav origin of Frederick Valentich. Despite multiple calls to the communication, no messages from him no longer received. The weather on that day was clear, and at 19 hours 33 the minutes when the plane didn’t arrive on the King Islands, the search began. They lasted until October 25th. One military intelligence and 8 civilian aircraft carried out searches over the Basse Channel in radius of 1700 km, but no oil spots, no debris, no there were no signs of an airplane crash on the surface of the sea. On board the “Tsesny” was a rescue radio beacon, but not from him Received no signals. Dispatcher Steve Roby categorically denies the possibility of any fraud from Valentich. “Towards the end of the relationship,” he said, “Frederick was clearly worried about his safety. I take into account that he could be good actor, but the frankness of the fear, voiced in his voice, is not raises no doubt. “Indisputable is that that the connection with the pilot was lost not due to the crash of the plane. A transmitter installed on its board could broadcast messages to Melbourne is only at a height of more than 300 meters. And that means that Valentich got out of touch while in flight. When studying one important radio tape recording was established detail: during the last 17 seconds when the microphone is on board the plane was still on, some were fixed on the tape country metal scratches, consisting of 36 (as it was calculated in the process of examination) clearly differing friend from friend sounds. According to the conclusion of Dr. P. Heins of NASA, control the verification did not find a similarity of the sounds recorded on the tape with sounds that could be associated with mic manipulation. I want to draw attention to one more fact: every time, when Valentich tried to inform the dispatcher that he was delivering object observed by him, communication with it was interrupted when turned on microphone! What happened during this time with the plane and the pilot? Assumptions may be the most unlikely. For the description of the object (cigar-shaped, metallic shine, the outgoing green light, energetic effect on the engine and radio equipment), as well as data on the absence in this area any other aircraft allow quite confidently identify the observed object with what ufologists call true UFO. In view of this, there are serious reasons to believe that the disappearance of the pilot and his plane is a consequence Encounters with an unidentified flying object. What happened with by plane and pilot? The absence of any traces of the fall of the device gives reason to divide the points of view according to which Valentich Together with his plane, a UFO was “stolen”. Cosmic Visitor energetically influenced the plane, as a result of which it was “sucked” in his right and thrown to some site. Exactly this explains that the “metal skrechite”, which is fixed cassette tape. The pilot himself was already without consciousness, Continuing to compress the mic toggle switch in the “transmit” position … Author: Alexander Zhukov
