Throughout the decades, America’s infamous Central Intelligence Agency has created countless clandestine programs. Following the Cuban Missile Crisis, federal agents unveiled Operation Northwoods— a proposed series of violent terrorist attacks on U.S. cities that would be blamed on Fidel Castro. MKUltra was a series of human experiments in which test subjects were given large doses of mind-altering drugs and psychologically tortured. In the 1970s, troves of taxpayer money went into an ambiguous project known as Stargate. Government officials wanted to investigate the legitimacy of paranormal phenomena such as out-of-body experiences, telekinetic feats, and other supernatural abilities. What ultimately unfolded during one particular assignment would forever change the lives of those involved.
An Unexpected Cosmic Voyage
Remote viewing refers to the practice of seeing impressions of a distant subject or location within the mind. During the Cold War, a man named Joseph McMoneagle engaged in this unique form of psychic espionage. While working with the CIA, he provided intel on covert Soviet operations that proved to be astoundingly accurate. One such mission involved locating the exact size and position of a Russian nuclear submarine. Given his high success rate, he quickly gained the respect of colleagues. In May of 1984, the esteemed clairvoyant spy received an unusual mission after being awakened from a midday nap. Robert Monroe, a fellow remote viewer and inventor of binaural beats, handed him a sealed envelope. Inside was a single index card containing three lines of text:
Nearly eighty years after his death, Nikola Tesla remains one of the brightest minds in recorded history. Many modern-day amenities originated from the imagination of this brilliant visionary. The Serbian-American scientist is responsible for alternating-current electricity, X-ray machines, high voltage transformers, wireless telegraphy, laser beams, and remote controls. Without his revolutionary contributions, our planet would be a vastly different place. His mechanisms are utilized in smartphones, computers, satellites, robotics, and GPS systems. Tesla was undoubtedly a remarkable innovator with super-human intelligence. However, declassified documents reveal there is an astonishing reason as to why he possessed such extraordinary capabilities. Federal representatives affirm the esteemed pioneer was quite literally out of this world.
He Came from Venus
Dossiers from the national FBI archives contain detailed information on Nikola Tesla. Buried within the 341 biographical pages is an incredible admission regarding his true origins. Insiders state the ingenious man was not a native Earthling. According to official reports, the unbelievable story began in 1856. As an infant, he left his homeland in Venus aboard a flying saucer. After an arduous cosmic journey, the unusual baby was brought to a Yugoslavian couple living in a remote mountainous region. Tesla’s first name is derived from his Venusian birthplace of ‘Alokin’— ‘Nikola’ backwards. While these claims sound like the plot of a science fiction film, researchers supposedly gained this intel from firsthand accounts and experiences.
Each night the moon makes its majestic appearance. Without this luminous sphere, our planet would be a vastly different place. It is responsible for the ocean’s tides, seasons, temperatures, and Earth’s very rotation. Both humans and animals are affected by the lunar presence. Scientists have theories about the planetary object’s origins yet all remain mere speculation. Some researchers disagree with current hypotheses and have proposed an intriguing conclusion. They argue the moon is an artificial satellite intentionally placed into orbit by advanced extraterrestrials.
“The Moon is bigger than it should be, apparently older than it should be and much lighter in mass than it should be. It occupies an unlikely orbit and is so extraordinary that all existing explanations for its presence are fraught with difficulties and none of them could be considered remotely watertight.”
-Alan Butler, Who Built the Moon?
Lunar Lore Throughout History
While the notion that the moon is a synthetic celestial body may seem unimaginable, it has been discussed for thousands of years. Our ancient ancestors who had no contact with one another all shared nearly identical stories about a “time before the moon”. Greek philosophers Aristotle and Plutarch referenced an age in which the astronomical orb did not exist. In Africa, Zulu legends chronicle how the planetoid was similar to an egg with its yoke removed. Certain Native American tribes believed their evening spotlight was brought here by advanced alien beings. Indigenous Colombians recounted a pre-lunar civilization in their writings. These diverse groups all describe a terrible cataclysm upon the moon’s arrival. Widespread fatalities reduced the population to a single race. Modern science has ascertains that humans share one common ancestor: Mitochondrial Eve. Might it be plausible ancient fables may be in fact be knowledge of events long forgotten?
Ancient cultures around the globe all speak of a time ‘before the moon’.
Rang Like a Bell & Strange Sounds Emitting
Prior to mankind’s historic cosmic ventures, Apollo 10 traveled to the dark side of the moon. During radio transcripts, the astronauts recount hearing “eerie outer space music”. Bizarre electromagnetic tones similar to the frequencies recorded inside Saturn’s rings were clearly audible. A dreadful otherworldly orchestra encompassed the ears of every voyager. NASA representatives quickly dismissed the acoustic oddity and blamed radio waves interfering with the moon’s magnetic field. However, their argument is not applicable as the satellite does not possess a magnetic field.
In the early 1990s, a whistleblower named Philip Schneider came forward with an incredible testimony. After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decided to share classified information with the world before it was too late. For over seventeen years the federal contractor worked on numerous black budget projects. As an engineer and geologist with Top Secret clearance, he oversaw the construction of numerous deep underground military bases across America. While excavating one particular facility, an inconceivable event occurred. At precise that moment the staggering depth of our government’s deceit and corruption were unveiled. In fact, what he would later reveal publicly would ultimately cost him his life.
A terrifying ordeal in the New Mexican desert would permanently alter Mr. Schneider’s worldview.
Underground Bases
Each year in the United States billions of taxpayer dollars go unaccounted for. According to Schneider, covert appropriation is used for subterranean operations. More than 1,477 of these locations exist globally. Most are connected by high-speed railways which utilize magnetic levitation trains. An entire labyrinth of tunnels, freeways, and cities exist miles beneath the Earth. Technologies developed here are decades beyond applications present on the surface. Within these bunkers, both humans and extraterrestrials have headquarters where various confidential experiments are conducted. Multiple floors descend into deeper levels of obscurity.
Dulce Wars
Phil was stationed in the scorching New Mexican desert in August of 1979. His team had been hired to construct a new installation on a former nuclear test site. Oddly, green and black berets were deployed to the mineralogy camp. As workers dug four preliminary tunnels, the boring machines kept breaking at a specific depth. In order to investigate what was causing damage to their machinery, he and several colleagues were lowered into the hole. Upon reaching the bottom, he could barely believe his eyes. Standing before the unsuspecting structural mastermind was a seven-foot-tall alien gray. It produced a putrid stench worse than rotting garbage. Without hesitation, he instinctively reached for his pistol and began shooting. During a lecture in 1996 Mr. Schneider recounted the terrifying ordeal:
“I killed two of them— yes they are mortal and they do die. In the process, one of them waved his hand in front of its chest and a blue beam hit me. He opened me up like a fish. It took off my fingers, my toenails, burned my left foot, and blew my shoe off. It was like an electrical force. I was in and out of consciousness. The Green Beret, who was right behind me, put me into the basket and sent me up. He lost his life. Sixty-six Secret Service agents, Green & Black Berets, and troops, because the United States government lied and did not warn us about the alien threat. There is a war going on down there. Our military, the Russian military, and militaries of the world have been in constant conflict with the aliens: small grays, tall grays, reptilians, and others.
Following this terrifying incident, Phil began to learn about the grave reality of what was transpiring on our planet.
In 1994, a small group of carefully selected individuals gained access to an elusive underground base in Africa. Their organization, RAND & Associates, worked within the CERN-like collider facility. Each team member was monitored by military personnel constantly. Everything from travel arrangements to living accommodations were overseen by appointed United States Command soldiers. Various highly classified missions took place miles beneath the surface world. Experiments included space-time fabrication, programming of dark matter and quantum energy formation. However, one particular assignment would permanently alter the lives of every researcher involved.
The Channelled Holographic Access Network Interface, also known as CHANI, refers to a project in which scientists made continuous contact with an interdimensional entity. Despite details remaining classified, it is understood the connection did not involve a physical channeler. Neutrality was vital and achieved by removing biased human observation. Through computer-interfacing technology, wrongly interpreted or misconstrued messages could be avoided. During this period, analyzers asked the being more than twenty-thousand questions: 95% received answers. Over five years of communication ensued.
Scientists working in a guarded underground facility made contact with an extraterrestrial.
An Extraterrestrial Emerges
A stargate had opened inside of the subterranean laboratory. Eager physicists worked in a cautious and calculated manner while verifying the extraterrestrial’s identity. According to the otherworldly specimen, they were an advanced humanoid inhabiting a planet and timeline parallel to our own. The cosmic visitor warned their world and Earth would ultimately be colliding. Experiments conducted at CERN involving “dark portal matters” created a sonic boom and the subsequent merging of dimensions. In fact, across the solar system, other alien races were experiencing similiar shifts. Mankind and its interstellar relatives reached a pivotal crossroads.
Scientists dubbed this final universal assimilation period as the ‘fuse year’. While that unprecedented time approached, numerous changes would occur. These minute indicators were thought to only affect a small portion of the population initially. Based on the spirit’s messages, a list was compiled of specific elements to look out for. Some chronological key developments included the following:
In the world of ufology, fewer topics are more bone-chilling than cattle mutilations.Hundreds of bovines have been discovered dead under bizarre and unusual circumstances throughout the decades. Spontaneous surgeries are performed with meticulous skill. Organs are selectively extracted with laser-like precision. All blood is completely drained from the body. Bones are shattered as if something dropped the casualty from extreme heights. A perfectly formed circle surrounds the remains and abnormally high levels of radiation are present. Unfortunately, it appears other mammals are not immune to this sickening fate. Much like our cow counterparts, humans have caught the eye of whatever sinister force is responsible for such horrifying carnage. Numerous accounts have been studied and repeatedly show a sinister agenda at work.
For decades, cattle have been harvested by an intelligent and sinister force.
The Guarapiranga Case
In 1988 one of the phenomena’s most appalling cases occurred in southern Brazil. At the Guarapiranga Reservoir, an utterly grotesque scene unfolded after a man’s ravaged body surfaced. Although deceased for several days, vultures and insects completely avoided the corpse. There was not any post-mortem odor which is usually present upon decay. In fact, the cadaver did not show any signs of decomposition whatsoever. Several perfectly symmetrical holes had been carved from the flesh. His eyes, ears, lips and tongue were taken out with astonishing expertise. Each smooth cut appeared cauterized and investigators did not observe any rough or jagged edges.
Artwork has been created by human beings for thousands of years. Long before written language, drawings were used to chronicle history. One particularly intriguing aspect of ufology is a repeated presence of bizarre crafts and strange creatures throughout numerous depictions. Ancient civilizations with no contact or communication amongst themselves often illustrated eerily similar subjects: UFOs and extraterrestrials. Did our ancestors witness physical phenomena which they deemed worthy of documenting for future generations? That conclusion is for the observer to decide.
Paleolithic Cave Painting, 13,000 B.C
Deep within the Niaux caves in France is an incredibly mystifying drawing. Seventeen orbs emerge from beneath a stereotypical flying saucer. In 2015 NASA decided to investigate the unusual artifact after respected archeologists inquired about its origins.
Located in southeastern Siberia, towards Mongolia’s border, sits the planet’s oldest and deepest lake. Nearly one-quarter of Earth’s fresh water is contained here. Astonishing depths of over five thousand feet have been measured in certain areas. A myriad of unique plant and animal species inhabit the frigid territory, many of which exist nowhere else in the world. Scientists estimate this massive basin formed as an ancient rift valley more than twenty-five million years ago. For centuries, Lake Baikal has been home to a plethora of unexplained phenomena. Locals claim countless peculiar UFO encounters frequently occur within this remote region of Russia. Some theorize an extraterrestrial base is lurking beneath the picturesque exterior.
One of the most bizarre reports occurred in 1982 during a routine Soviet military training dive. While navigating the foreboding aquatic realm, Navy personnel noticed anomalous figures swimming nearby. Perplexed, they watched in bewilderment as several curious creatures approached them. Despite being stationed at a depth of over one hundred and sixty-four feet, these humanoids wore no modern equipment. Each donned tight-fitting metallic suits complete with a helmet-like apparatus completely covering their heads. Upon closer inspection, troopers noticed the aliens were nearly ten feet tall. However, the colossal loch-dwellers soon disappeared back into the murky abyss.
Seven Russian Navy divers were attacked by a group of hostile extraterrestrials.
Following this eerie run-in, the intrigued commander ordered his recruits to capture a subaqueous alien. Seven Scuba divers entered the glacial lake and began their harrowing descent. Soon after navigating an elevator of declining temperatures, multiple entities emerged. One frogman attempted to catch the unearthly specimen in a large net. At that moment, all hell broke loose for the unsuspecting flotilla group. Suddenly the nonhuman brutes fought back by shooting intense sonar waves from strange devices. A powerful force rendered every crew member unconscious and rapidly propelled them to the surface.
Catapulting upwards from extreme depths can have devastating effects on our bodies, resulting in a condition often called “the bends”. Three of the squadron were seriously injured but did not succumb to this affliction. The remaining fellows needed immediate transfer to a decompression chamber. Unfortunately, there was only one chamber in the region and it was designed for merely two people at a time. Out of sheer desperation, four men entered simultaneously in an attempt to save their lives. Tragically, this last-ditch effort did not go as planned. Three individuals perished as a result of their superior’s hasty decision. Those who survived the terrifying ordeal would be left with life-altering disabilities.
UFO sightings occur at extremely high rates throughout the Baikal area.
Following this harrowing catastrophe, KGB agents ceased further attempts of USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) acquisition. For decades the horrifying events which transpired remained hidden by high-ranking authorities. Vladimir Azhazha, former Soviet Naval officer and esteemed ufologist, declared Russian government executives recently released declassified files. In these documents, the Baikal aquanauts are described in great detail. Unsurprisingly, Navy commanders had been extensively monitoring numerous underwater vehicles navigating the lake. Such technological capabilities greatly intrigued them; if engineers could replicate the vessels’ inconceivable speeds, unprecedented militaristic advantages would be gained.
Throughout the eras, Baikal has been no stranger to mysterious UFO activities. During the late 1950s a TU-104 jet crashed into the lake after it was pursued by an unknown metallic vehicle. The frantic pilot radioed a distraught message to air traffic controllers informing them of this alleged attack. According to informants, all staff on duty at the time were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements. Numerous community fisherman attested to viewing the frightening areal attack. Anglers described how a silver flying saucer chased a plane until it plummeted into the water and disappeared from their sight. Despite considerable testimonies, no conclusive evidence or official records of this event have ever surfaced.
NASA released photos taken from the International Space Station in 2009. Some believe they show a USO emerging from the water.
In April of 2009 the enigmatic Siberian sector made global headlines yet again. Astronauts aboard an international space station photographed two circular convection breaks, thought to be produced by enormous aquatic crafts. One was located near the lake’s center while the other was positioned towards Baikal’s southern end. Both appeared to be created by something ascending beneath the thick ice-laden outer layer. The pair of disk-shaped cracks were perfectly symmetrical and astonishingly measure three miles in diameter. These immense fractures were so precise making them impossible to manufacture or replicate. Certain researchers believe the NASA-produced images are evidence of spaceships emerging from the dark waters below.
Yet another unsettling occurrence took place in 2011 when an alien body was discovered. Footage shows one Irkutsk resident guiding the camera man towards a forested area. Atop the snow-covered ground lays a small extraterrestrial. It possesses an enlarged cranium, opaque grayish body and dark eyes blankly staring ahead. Something appears to have ripped off the creature’s right leg. Amid this expletive-laden footage, our winter-clad host explains how his dog sniffed out the captivating cadaver. Mere weeks before the chilling scene was filmed, dozens of villagers witnessed unidentifiable lights hovering above their homes. Conspiracy theorists speculate a UFO crash may be responsible for the macabre martian corpse. Viewers are torn regarding the authenticity of the video; some believe a genuine unknown species was uncovered while others blame crafty cinematic hoaxers.
An bizarre video surfaced in 2011 which appears to show the corpse of a small extraterrestrial.
As time progresses, onlookers continue to be dazzled by the obscure skies. Intriguing incidents take place at staggering rates across the district’s vicinity. In this technological era where most people are never without their smart phones, more of these perplexing crafts are captured and shared via the web. One such example happened in October of 2016 while spectators observed extraordinary green flashes above their rural town. Bystanders and experts alike were baffled by the unusual scene. Such remarkable sightings and otherworldly happenings have even caught the eye of famed director, Steven Spielberg. The film tycoon intends to create a documentary titled “Depth 211” which will explore Lake Baikal’s baffling history.
Only four years ago, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev made a shocking announcement at the World Economic Forum. In his public statement he lamented how “the time has come” for the world to know the truth about extraterrestrials visitors. In fact, Mr. Medvedev believes aliens are already living amongst us and have been doing so for quite a while. Even more brazen, the political leader warned if United States officials refuse come forward with this monumental information, Russian representatives will do so themselves. Given recent ufology-related announcements and unveiled files, it is entirely plausible that the Kremlin is gearing up for full disclosure. Perhaps sooner than we may think the astounding truth of interplanetary beings will finally be acknowledged by those who have known all along.
Lake Baikal has been home to a plethora of unexplained UFO activity for decades.

During the late 1980s a man by the name of Bob Lazar, a former Area 51 engineer, went public with supposed inside information. What he revealed would make him an extremely controversial figure, even amongst ufology enthusiasts. There are those who believe Lazar is a government pawn whose purpose is to spread misinformation across the masses. Others speculate he’s merely a profiteer who fabricated stories in hopes of financial gain. However, some feel that perhaps this whistleblower may in fact be telling the truth.
Bob Lazar illustrating gravitational effects.
Robert Scott Lazar was born on January 26th, 1959 in Coral Gables, Florida. He holds degrees in both physics and electronics from MIT as well as California Institute of Technology. Much of his life was spent living in Las Vegas where he dabbled in a number of scientific pursuits in attempts to better understand propulsion. After experimenting with chemistry and fireworks production, Lazar assembled a jet vehicle capable of land speeds in excess of three hundred and fifty miles per hour. Monitor newspaper featured Lazar’s twenty-two thousand horsepower car on its front page.
At this time, in 1982, Lazar attended a lecture at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Doctor Edward Teller, inventor of the atomic bomb, would be speaking. Both of the science fanatics met afterwards and quickly struck up a conversation. As luck would have it, Dr. Teller happened to be reading that very issue of Monitor paper. When Lazar pointed out the article he was advised to submit his resume for consideration. Within a few days the eager physicist was hired and became an esteemed Los Alamos staff member.
Lazar’s W-2 lists the Department of Naval Intelligence as his employer.
Five years later Lazar found himself working at S-4, a location one hundred and twenty-five miles north of Las Vegas and fifteen miles south of Groom Lake. Often called Area 51, or “Dreamland,” the region has captivated the masses for generations. According to the propulsion systems expert, he was recruited by the Department of Naval Intelligence to work on a secret program called Project Galileo. Unbeknownst was the fact that this specific employment opportunity would permanently turn his life upside-down.
Reaching the remote destination required quite an arduous commute. First he would drive to McCarran International Airport in Nevada and enter the EG&G Special Projects Building. An unmarked plane would then fly directly to Groom Lake. Upon landing, Lazar would embark on a windowless bus which drove across the desolate desert before finally reaching S-4. Entrance was only granted upon approval of an incredibly thorough security check. Once inside the facility he noticed a total of nine hangars built into a mountainside. Each possessed perfectly camouflaged sand-colored doors. Lazar did not have full clearance and was escorted into one of the installations by his superior.
A map showing the Nellis Air Force Range region in Nevada.
He was led into a specific room where one hundred and twenty-two briefings were presented. A stern commanding officer instructed the new hire to read every single document. While making his way through the paperwork, a brief synopsis was found about various operations being executed at the base. Upon completing his assigned task he was informed that his position was replacing two individuals recently killed on the job. These men had been working on a craft and for unknown reasons they cut its operating reactor. The detonation caused a massive deadly explosion which could be felt from far away distances. Officials deceitfully told nearby citizens the tremor was an aftereffect of nuclear testing.
On Lazar’s third day he was brought into a building which housed nine different flying saucers. Initially he blamed experimental military technology, which would explain the massive amount of UFO sightings. However, once he physically entered a vessel all rationalizations quickly dissipated. There was an inexplicable ominous feeling that radiated throughout his entire body. Such a strong emotional response truly perplexed the left-brained scholar. Even stranger were the impractical tiny child-sized interior seats. Further meticulous inspection brought forward a startling conclusion: these vehicles could not be of an earthly origin. Contrary to his initial belief, S-4 crew hadn’t been manufacturing the crafts… they were reverse-engineering them.
Several different types of flying saucers were present at S-4 Base.
During the coming weeks Lazar continued to work on several eerie devices. Each was cool to the touch and appeared to be made out of some type of metal similar to unfinished stainless steel. No noticeable seams existed so it seemed as if the craft was manufactured from a mold. Over time he discovered how the flight capabilities functioned. Every machine generated its own gravitational field and turned surrounding gravity waves in reverse polarity to that of Earth’s. Invisibility could be rendered by traveling faster than the speed of light.
On the flying device’s floor was an antimatter reactor which controlled all movements. A compound with the atomic number of one hundred and fifteen, undiscovered in 1989, served as its fuel source. Element 115 allowed the spaceships to drag points together from anywhere in the infinite cosmos. UFOs created an amplified nonlinear distortion in both space and time. Vast distances could be navigated in mere seconds. Since the apparatuses function by warping space itself infinite momentum is achieved. Limitless energy is provided through a purposely created environmental distortion.
Element 115, undiscovered in the 1980s, served as the craft’s fuel source.
Lazar gradually gained more knowledge regarding the mysterious activities occurring at S-4. One night he witnessed an airship performing a dazzling test flight. His colleague explained that these particular UFOs originated from Zeta Reticuli One and Two, a binary star system located thirty-nine light-years from our planet. Another occasion led to him being shown autopsy photos of an otherworldly being. Some type of organ had been removed from the creature’s open chest cavity and Lazar described it closely resembling the typical Grey Alien. Allegedly such entities are responsible for creating modern man through centuries of genetic alterations to our simian ancestors.
Eventually an inside source recounted what would become the most troubling story of all: a human-extraterrestrial war. Only ten years earlier military personnel and martian visitors maintained a working relationship. Yet the professional data exchange program would soon come to a screeching halt. One fateful day security officers attempted to gain entry into a designated ET part of the grounds. Each were equipped with sidearms which, according to Lazar, would have caused a massive explosion. When subterranean aliens attempted to stop incoming armed guards a fight ensued. Sixty-six faculty members lost their lives and prompted the decades-long correspondence’s abrupt ending.
Images of a ‘Grey Alien’ extraterrestrial with a missing organ was shown to Lazar.
Six months after his inceptive enlistment Lazar decided to leave S-4 Base forpersonal reasons. Before parting ways high-ranking directors threatened his life and stated that if anything were disclosed there would be major repercussions. Weeks later the ex-employee was shot at by an unmarked car while driving on the highway. Following the harrowing incident he reached out to KLAS, a Las Vegas TV station, where he gave an interview with investigative reporter George Knapp. Lazar rationalized that if he turned up dead succeeding his speaking publicly it would look incredibly suspicious for government officials. Self-preservation was his ultimate justification.
Nearly thirty years have passed since this bizarre firsthand experience made headlines. While skeptics remain critical of such claims Lazar maintains his authenticity. In 2003 Element 115 was positively identified adding further validity and potential supporting evidence. Recently a physicist named Dr. Robert Krangle came forward and stated that he did in fact work with Lazar at Los Alamos Laboratory. Perhaps with the progression of time additional professionals will open up about their own involvement. Until then whatever transpired in those Nevada hangers remains mere speculation and will provide endless intrigue for conspiracy theorists.

One of the most intriguing cases of potential alien abduction is the strange tale of a young pilot by the name of Frederick Valentich. In the late 1970s he had an arial encounter with a UFO while performing a flight down the Australian coast. There are several compelling pieces of evidence that were left behind: radio transmissions, eyewitness accounts and a photograph of an unknown craft.
On October 21st, 1978 Frederick Valentich embarked on a 125 mile flight along the shores of Bass Strait. Valentich, a member of the Air Training Corps, had been flying for over two years and accumulated over 150 hours of solitary trips. He was employed by an airline company and aspired to become a commercial pilot. At 6:19 pm Valentich took off in his Cessna 182 from an airport just outside of Melbourne. The journey was routine and followed a route that the twenty-one year old pilot had travelled many times before. Unbeknownst to Valentich, this would be his final departure.
Just over halfway through the uneventful flight things began to take a bizarre turn. An unidentified flying object was hovering about 1,000 feet above his plane. The craft was described as being a long metallic object with four bright lights and flew at speeds that seemed unbelievable. Valentich told air traffic controllers that something was approaching him and seemed to be playing some sort of game. It would remain stationary then quickly orbit closer. His final words were: “It is not an aircraft.”
Here is the actual transcript of the final communication between Frederick Valentich and the Melbourne Flight Services, as released by the Australian Department of Transport (the original audio recording is also available):
1906:14 DSJ Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet. Is there any known traffic below five thousand?
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, no known traffic.
DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet, I am, seems to be a large aircraft below five thousand.
1906:44 FS Delta Sierra Juliet, What type of aircraft is it?
DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet, I cannot affirm, it is four bright, it seems to me like landing lights.
1907 FS Delta Sierra Juliet.
1907:31 DSJ Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet, the aircraft has just passed over me at least a thousand feet above.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, and it is a large aircraft, confirmed?
DSJ Er-unknown, due to the speed it’s traveling, is there any air force aircraft in the vicinity?
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, no known aircraft in the vicinity.
1908:18 DSJ Melbourne, it’s approaching now from due east towards me.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet.
1908:41 DSJ (open microphone for two seconds.)
1908:48 DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet, it seems to me that he’s playing some sort of game, he’s flying over me two, three times at speeds I could not identify.
1909 FS Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, what is your actual level?
DSJ My level is four and a half thousand, four five zero zero.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, and you confirm you cannot identify the aircraft?
DSJ Affirmative.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, stand by.
1909:27 DSJ Melbourne, Delta Sierra Juliet, it’s not an aircraft it is (open microphone for two seconds).
1909:42 FS Delta Sierra Juliet, can you describe the -er- aircraft?
DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet, as it’s flying past it’s a long shape (open microphone for three seconds) cannot identify more than it has such speed (open microphone for three seconds). It’s before me right now Melbourne.
1910 FS Delta Sierra Juliet, roger and how large would the – er – object be?
1910:19 DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet, Melbourne, it seems like it’s stationary. What I’m doing right now is orbiting and the thing is just orbiting on top of me also. It’s got a green light and sort of metallic like, it’s all shiny on the outside.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet
1910:46 DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet (open microphone for three seconds) It’s just vanished.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet
1911 DSJ Melbourne, would you know what kind of aircraft I’ve got? Is it a military aircraft?
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, Confirm the – er – aircraft just vanished.
DSJ Say again.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, is the aircraft still with you?
DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet; it’s (open microphone for two seconds) now approaching from the south-west.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet
1911:50 DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet, the engine is rough-idling. I’ve got it set at twenty three twenty-four and the thing is coughing.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, what are your intentions?
DSJ My intentions are – ah – to go to King Island – ah – Melbourne. That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again (open microphone for two seconds). It is hovering and it’s not an aircraft.
FS Delta Sierra Juliet.
1912:28 DSJ Delta Sierra Juliet. Melbourne (open microphone for seventeen seconds).
During the final seventeen seconds there is an eerie metallic scraping that can be heard. A NASA researcher as well as the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology have analyzed the transmission. Neither were able to identify the source of these sounds and to this day it remains a mystery.
After Valentich’s disappearance a massive search ensued. For four days a fleet of shipping vessels scoured the ocean. There were no signs of a crash or traces of any wreckage despite the Cessna’s design to float in the event it hit water. A witness who wished to remain anonymous approached investigators. He stated that on the evening of October 21st, while out with his family, they saw a bright green light flying above a small plane. Both of the crafts got closer to one another before they flew out of their view. Eleven other eyewitnesses came forward with observations that were all identical. Interestingly, in the month prior to Valentich’s incident, there had been a massive spike in UFO sightings in that area.
Roy Manifold’s strange photograph shows an unidentified flying object in the sky.
Roy Manifold, an amateur photographer, was at Cape Otway on the evening that Valentich vanished. He wanted to capture the sunset with his camera settings on an automatic exposure. During the shoot six photographs were taken in succession using the time-lapse setting. Once they were developed a puzzling anomaly was seen in the last picture: a strange object in the upper right corner. At first Manifold thought it might have been a developing error so it was sent in for analysis. There was neither dirt nor damage on the original negative. Other experts made a startling determination and concluded that the image showed a metallic object about a mile from the camera.
This year Valentich would have been celebrating his sixtieth birthday. Nearly four decades later there are still far more questions than answers. While many theories as to the pilot’s ultimate fate have been proposed they all remain mere speculation. Whatever happened during that final flight will remain one of Australia’s greatest aviation mysteries. What do you think happened to Frederick Valentich? Might it be possible that he may one day resurface? Share your thoughts in the comments!
