From the teenager who vanished in the Vatican to the young woman who disappeared from a cruise ship, these are history's most chilling missing persons cases that remain unsolved.
A map of Valentich’s route.
Suddenly, Valentich experienced some harrowing engine trouble. When Melbourne Flight Service officials asked him one last time to describe the mysterious aircraft above him, he responded with some of the most ominous last words ever recorded, “It isn’t an aircraft,” he said.
The transmission was suddenly cut off. The last thing Melbourne Flight Service officials heard was a “metallic, scraping sound.”
Authorities figured the pilot had crashed. However, a sea and air search yielded no sign of his plane. The missing person case was rather quickly closed, but five years later, an engine cowl flap matching Valentich’s plane washed ashore on Flinders Island in Australia.
