Richard Syrett speaks with an anomalist, ufologist, author, and broadcaster about the possible alien abduction of a young pilot off the coast of Australia in October 1978. Shortly after take-off, Frederick Valentich, the 21-year old pilot of a Cessna light aircraft reported that he saw a UFO hovering above him.  A few moments later, Valentich disappeared off the radar and was never seen or heard from again.
