Back in 1518, something terrifying happened in Europe.

People suddenly started dancing in the streets…
for days.

Not for fun.
Not during a festival.

They literally couldn’t stop.

Some even died from exhaustion.

The first computer programmer in history was a woman.

Ada Lovelace wrote what is considered the first algorithm intended for a machine in the 1840s.

She envisioned computers long before modern computers even existed.

Some mysteries fade with time.

This one only became stranger.

And somewhere over the waters south of Australia, the final moments of Frederick Valentich remain a puzzle.

[World Of Unknowns @world_unknowns]

In 1978, a 20-year-old Australian pilot took off on what should have been a routine training flight.

A few hours later, he vanished.

His name was Frederick Valentich. 🧵

More than 40 years later, the mystery remains unsolved.

What exactly did Frederick Valentich see that night?

We still don't know.

Over the years, many theories have emerged.

Mechanical failure.Pilot disorientation.A staged disappearance.Even UFO involvement.

But none have been proven.

A massive search operation followed.

Planes, boats, and rescue teams searched the area.

No trace of Frederick or his aircraft was ever found.

The last sound recorded wasn't a voice.

It was a strange metallic noise that lasted for several seconds.

After that, all contact was lost.

[World Of Unknowns @world_unknowns]

A few minutes later, Frederick reported that his plane was experiencing engine problems.

His final transmissions became increasingly difficult to understand.

Then there was silence.

[World Of Unknowns @world_unknowns]

During the conversation, he sounded confused but calm.

He described the object as metallic and said it appeared to be orbiting above him.

Air traffic controllers had no explanation.

[World Of Unknowns @world_unknowns]

Then things got weird.

Frederick reported seeing a large aircraft with bright lights following him.

He said it was moving fast and didn't look like any plane he had ever seen.

[World Of Unknowns @world_unknowns]

2/
About 45 minutes into the flight, Frederick radioed air traffic control with a strange question.

He asked if there was any known aircraft flying below 5,000 feet near him.

The answer was no.

On October 21, 1978, Frederick departed from Melbourne, Australia, flying a small Cessna 182 aircraft.

His destination was King Island, about 235 km away.

The weather was clear, and nothing seemed unusual.
