Episode 99: The Abduction of Frederick Valentich

On October 21, 1978, a small Cessna airplane making a short, routine flight would disappear from the face of the Earth, but not before leaving one last very odd and cryptic final transmission. Today's episode features the story of one of the most well-publicized aviation disappearances since that of Amelia Earhart. Today we will be discussing the suspected abduction of Frederick Valentich.
