Frederick Valentich was on a 125 mile training flight in his single engine Cessna 182 along the coast of Bass Strait when he told air traffic controllers in Melbourne that he was being buzzed by a UFO with 4 bright lights about 1000 feet above him. Controllers said his last message was taped and was: "It's approaching from due east towards me. It seems to be playing some sort of game... flying at a speed I can't estimate. It's not an aircraft. It's...It is flying past. It is a long shape. I cannot identify more than that. It's coming for me right now." A minute later: "It seems to be stationary. I'm also orbiting and the thing is orbiting on top of me also. It has a green light and a sort of metallic light on the outside." Valentich then radioed that his engine was running roughly. His last words were: "It is not an aircraft." The Australian Air Force said it had received 11 reports from people along the coast who said they saw UFOs on Saturday night, but the Transport Department was skeptical. Ken Williams, a spokesman for the department, said, "It's funny all these people ringing up with UFO reports well after Valentich's disappearance. It seems people often decide after the event, they too had seen strange lights. But although we can't take them too seriously, we can never discourgae such reports when investigating a plane's disappearance." Some Transport Dept officials have speculated that Valentich became disoriented and saw his own lights reflected in the water, or lights from a nearby island, while flying upside down. Valentich's father, Guio, said his son used to study UFOs "as a hobby using information he had received from the Air Force. He was not the kind of person who would make up stories. Everything had to be very correct and positive for him. The fact that they have found no trace of him really verifies the fact that UFOs could have been there." Guio Valentich said he hoped his son hadn't crashed but had been taken by a UFO. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don -- -* Don Allen *- InterNet: dona@bilver.UUCP // Amiga..for the best of us.

Aviation authorities reported that the UFO was apparently tracked by radar as well, and the Royal New Zealand Air Force put a Skyhawk jet fighter on special standby alert. The pilot of the news team's plane said he first noticed a bright white light about 20 miles ahead, and "It appeared to stay still until we got within 10 miles, then it turned with us as I changed course. It then went above us and circled and came down beneath us. It was making definite movements in relation to us." PHOTOGRAPH: AP.

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 57 21-Jan-88 16:31 MST SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Police said Thursday they received two reports of unidentified flying objects, one of which looked like a huge egg cup, and that they were treating the matter seriously. Four members of a family said the object shaped like an egg cup pursued their car along a remote stretch of outback highway Wednesday morning, plucked it from the ground and covered it in ash, police reported. Faye Knowles told police her speech and that of her sons changed during the encounter on the highway. Crewmen of a tuna boat 50 miles away said a UFO buzzed their vessel a few minutes later and their voices become unintelligible. "We were a little bit skeptical at first, but after investigating we are treating the reports very seriously," said Jim Furnell, a police sergeant in South Australia state. He said forensic scientists would examine the black powdery ash found inside and outside Mrs. Knowles' car. She told police she was driving on the Nullabor Plain from Perth in Western Australia when she first saw a glowing object in her rear window at 2:45 a.m. Wednesday. "It apparently picked the car up off the road, shook it quite violently and forced the car back with such pressure that one of the tires was blown," Furnell said. "While this was happening the family said their voices were distorted and it was as if they were talking in slow motion." He said the crewmen of the tuna boat could not have known about Mrs. Knowles' experience when they reported a UFO sighting in the Great Australia Bight. Keith Basterfield of UFO Research Inc., an international organization that records such sightings, said "it will certainly be the most physical of encounters ever recorded in Australia" if the reports are confirmed. A spokesman at the Royal Australian Air Force base in Edinburgh, South Australia, said he was not aware of any military aircraft in the area at the time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Don -- -* Don Allen *- InterNet: dona@bilver.UUCP // Amiga..for the best of us.
