It's Saturday, October 21, 1978, when pilot Frederick Valentich disappears while flying off the coast of southern Australia. Unusual radio transmissions between Frederick and the control tower tell the story of a pilot in distress. Frederick reports seeing a strange looking aircraft that he cannot identify. The transmissions then suddenly cease. Tune in as Maggie lays out Frederick's mysterious disappearance, then later Payne Lindsey is joined by NewsNation reporter Brian Entin and the two discuss the UAP phenomena, including their coverage of the recent congressional hearings on UAPs/UFOs.
