We open with an exclusive, never-before-seen moment from Joe McMoneagle — one of the U.S. military’s top remote viewers — as he recounts a strange event: a pilot reportedly flew into a wormhole and came out somewhere… else. That story sets the stage for three of the most unsettling pilot encounters ever recorded — all backed by original cockpit or radio transmissions.
🛩 Carlos de los Santos (Mexico, 1975) While flying a Piper PA-24 over Mexico City, Carlos was suddenly flanked by three black, disc-shaped objects. His control panel became unresponsive — the UFOs had seemingly taken over his aircraft. His frantic radio calls survive to this day. What makes this case different?
The Mexican Air Force confirmed radar contact.
🎙 Rafael Pérez (Mexico, 1976) A 23-year-old pilot suddenly began to transmit calm but chilling messages from the cockpit — claiming he was speaking under the influence of a non-human intelligence. His voice changes, his tone becomes robotic, and the message? “We are watching.” To this day, this recording remains one of the strangest broadcast transmissions ever intercepted.
✈️ Frederick Valentich (Australia, 1978) Flying solo over Bass Strait, Valentich radios in a mysterious “shiny object” circling his aircraft. The last 17 seconds of the tape are haunting: metallic scraping, distorted audio, and then silence. Neither Frederick nor his plane were ever found. Was it pilot error — or an encounter gone wrong?
