When the facts about a paranormal event yield no more answers,
investigators and the public alike tend to turn their attention
to the experiencer's character to ascertain its
authenticity. So what kind of person was Frederick
Valentich? A once-lost aircraft accident report from
Australia's Department of Transport, which resurfaced in 2012,
has shed some light on Valentich's behavior and state of mind
leading up to the moment of his disappearance. Through
extensive interviews with his family, friends, associates, and
the flight personnel he came into contact with, a picture emerges
of Valentich's disposition. Although there were some
puzzling actions and statements by the young pilot, overall, he
appeared to be a dedicated and serious student of aviation.
Yet if a paranormal cause of his disappearance is off the table
of consideration, then the answer must lie in one of his
shortcomings, right? This has led to speculation that
Valentich intended to abscond with the aircraft and start a new
life, or he planned a mysterious suicide, or that as a UFO
enthusiast, he simply mistook stars and planets for a UFO and
crashed trying to avoid it. As we delve further into the
details and analysis from the official report in part two of our
series, we're joined by listener and lifelong Melbourne resident
Chris Tyler. Being quite familiar with the case, Chris will
lend his own insight into the mystery and illustrate this
enchanting Australian backdrop's prevailing attitudes and
characteristics.
