RHONDA Rushton firmly believes her fiance was abducted by a UFO
|
||
|
|
and she claims photographic evidence supports her story.
|
||
|
|
Breaking her silence for the first time in 11 years, Rhonda
|
||
|
|
explained exclusively to POST why she remains convinced her
|
||
|
|
fiance was taken by aliens.
|
||
|
|
Rhonda was planning to wed the man of her dreams, 20-year-old
|
||
|
|
pilot Frederick Valentich, when he disappeared 11 years ago on
|
||
|
|
the night of October 21, 1978.
|
||
|
|
Valentich and the single-engined Cessna he was flying vanished
|
||
|
|
without trace over Bass Strait.
|
||
|
|
In his last radio transmission to Melbourne Flight Service he
|
||
|
|
described the UFO which was persistently shadowing his plane.
|
||
|
|
Valentich's final words were: "That strange aircraft is hovering
|
||
|
|
on top of me again... it is hovering and it's not an aircraft..."
|
||
|
|
A metallic clicking noise was then heard over the radio for 17
|
||
|
|
seconds before communication was lost. No wreckage was ever
|
||
|
|
found.
|
||
|
|
The Bureau of Air Safety Investigation launched a full inquiry.
|
||
|
|
Their confidential report, completed in 1982, concluded: "The
|
||
|
|
reason for the disappearance of the aircraft has not been
|
||
|
|
determined. "
|
||
|
|
But Rhonda, a level-headed and intelligent young woman,
|
||
|
|
believes she has the answer. She believes she has seen the proof.
|
||
|
|
Twenty-one minutes before Valentich was buzzed by the UFO,
|
||
|
|
Melbourne man Roy Manifold was taking photos of the sunset at
|
||
|
|
Cape Otway, the last land mass Valentich flew over. When his film
|
||
|
|
was developed it showed an unidentified object shooting out of
|
||
|
|
the water and flying off over Bass Strait.
|
||
|
|
Manifold's negatives were sent to the Civilian Aerial Phenomena
|
||
|
|
Research Organization in Arizona (USA) for computer analysis.
|
||
|
|
Extensive tests found no evidence of a hoax, and revealed the
|
||
|
|
image captured on film was not the result of a developing error.
|
||
|
|
The unidentified object was neither a cloud nor a weather
|
||
|
|
phenomenon, but a solid metallic structure capped by a bright
|
||
|
|
disc.
|
||
|
|
In his last transmission Valentich said: "It seems like it's
|
||
|
|
stationary and the thing is just orbiting on top of me, also it's
|
||
|
|
got a green light and sort of metallic -- it's all shiny (on )
|
||
|
|
the outside. "
|
||
|
|
"When I saw the Manifold photos I knew that this was the proof
|
||
|
|
that supported Fred's last words, " Rhonda, 28, told POST in an
|
||
|
|
exclusive interview. "The object in the picture is what he saw,
|
||
|
|
what he was trying to describe. I believe that the UFO took the
|
||
|
|
whole plane, that was why no trace of it, not even an oil slick,
|
||
|
|
was ever found.
|
||
|
|
"I think the clicking noise that came over the radio had
|
||
|
|
something to do with the UFO - Fred left the radio on so we would
|
||
|
|
hear that. He was a very calm sort of person and that was the
|
||
|
|
sort of thing he would have done.
|
||
|
|
"Fred was such a truthful, honest person - if that's what he
|
||
|
|
said he saw, that's what he saw, " Rhonda said. "I'd flown with
|
||
|
|
him many times and he was an experienced, competent pilot who
|
||
|
|
could handle panic situations.
|
||
|
|
"People said he was flying upside down but the plane used a
|
||
|
|
gravity-fed fuel system. If it was upside down it would have just
|
||
|
|
conked out.
|
||
|
|
"Fred and I had discussed UFOs, he believed in them strongly.
|
||
|
|
He thought it was arrogant of people to think we were the only
|
||
|
|
life-form in the galaxy.
|
||
|
|
"He said once that if one did show itself to him he would want
|
||
|
|
to go with it. That helped me a lot when he went missing. He
|
||
|
|
wouldn't have been frightened, maybe he even looked on it as an
|
||
|
|
adventure. "
|
||
|
|
Paul Norman, from the Victorian UFO Research Society, told POST:
|
||
|
|
"The Valentich case is the 20th such UFO encounter in the past 30
|
||
|
|
years. Some people live to tell the tale, others vanish without
|
||
|
|
trace.
|
||
|
|
" We don't know if the Valentich case was an abduction. We
|
||
|
|
don't know if he went up, down or disintegrated, but there is no
|
||
|
|
doubt that the UFO caused his disappearance in some way. "
