Summary

**NOTE: This show contains AUTHENTIC LEAKED ORIGINAL AUDIO of the Frederick Valentich incident. It may be disturbing to some. Australian UFO researcher George Simpson joins Martin Willis to discuss decades of frontline investigation into some of Australia’s most compelling UFO cases. George began his work in the late 1980s with the Victorian UFO Research Society and later became Victorian Director of the Australian UFO Research Network, organizing public conferences and hosting international figures including Steve Bassett. With more than 30 years immersed in field investigations, committee leadership, and case analysis, George brings a rare long-term perspective to the subject. He is the author of Nothing on Radar; The Valentich Mystery, a deep investigation into the 1978 disappearance of young pilot Frederick Valentich over Bass Strait, one of Australia’s most debated aviation and UFO cases. George shares insights not only into historic cases, but into the culture of UFO research in Australia—how investigations were conducted before the internet era, how witnesses were handled, and how narratives evolve over time.
