Podcast: Conspiracy TheoriesPublished On: Wed Aug 12 2026
Description: On October 21st, 1978, 20-year-old pilot Fred Valentich disappeared while flying across the Bass Strait, off the southeastern coast of Australia. Moments before vanishing, Fred described a bizarre encounter over the radio. He claimed an unidentified object seemed to be harassing him – moving at impossibly fast speeds, disappearing and then reappearing, and hovering above his Cessna. His final transmission? “That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again. It is hovering, and it’s not an aircraft.” Help us reach 10k followers on Instagram! @theconspiracypod Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
