the Nomad over the area from Cape
Schank 50 kilometres east of King Island and across to Cape Otway
The pilot of the aircraft, Mr Frederick Valentich, 20, vanished over Bass Strait in his blue and white Cessna 182 after
reporting a mystery craft hovering above him.
However, his father, Mr Guido Valentich, who still believes he may be alive
said he thought it was possible his son had been taken by a space craft.

The search will continue today.”
