Generation X Paranormal | Ghost Stories, UFOs, and the Unexplained

In this early solo-hosted episode of Generation X Paranormal—back when Logan was still figuring out how not to sound like a caffeinated ghost hunter—we dig into one of the most mysterious UFO disappearances of all time: the 1978 vanishing of Australian pilot Frederick Valentich.

While flying a Cessna 182L over the Bass Strait, 20-year-old Valentich radioed in a chilling report: a strange, fast-moving object with four bright lights was following him. His last words? “It’s not an aircraft.” Moments later, he—and his plane—were gone.

This Classic GXP episode explores:

• The full timeline of Frederick Valentich’s final flight
• Transcripts of his eerie final radio communications
• Theories ranging from disorientation to extraterrestrial encounter
• Why this case remains one of the most compelling UFO mysteries in aviation history

Yes, this episode includes a fair share of early podcast cringe (awkward pauses, dramatic reading voice, and questionable background music), but it’s part of the charm—and the origin story—of Generation X Paranormal.

If you love unsolved disappearances, UFO encounters, and the raw beginnings of a paranormal podcast journey, this one’s for you.
