About this listen

In this episode of Mystery Inc., we descend into the chilling case of Frederick Valentich, a young pilot who vanished without a trace over Australia’s Bass Strait in 1978. Just before disappearing, Valentich reported a hovering, metallic aircraft with a green light—then radio silence and 17 seconds of eerie metallic scraping. Was it a tragic accident, an elaborate hoax, or something... otherworldly? Join us as we examine the facts, the theories, and the haunting final transmission that turned a routine flight into an enduring enigma. This one's for the curious, the skeptics, and everyone drawn to the mysteries that won’t stay buried.
