windshield. <strong>The</strong>y still do <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>w what it is. <strong>The</strong> lights arestill in front of them several miles, <strong>no</strong>w going in their direction.On the onboard color radar, Terauchi sees a target for the object7 to 8 miles (12 km) ahead. Confusingly, the target appears greeninstead of red—the color that should register for large solidtargets which are this close to the 747.Both pilots watch the lights for six or seven minutes beforecopilot Tamefuji calls the Anchorage Air Route Traffic ControlCenter (ARTCC) on the radio. He asks if there is any otherreported traffic near the 747. ARTCC at first says there is <strong>no</strong>reported traffic and <strong>no</strong> other craft near the 747, then:ARTCCJapan Air 1628.... I'm picking up a hit on radar fivemiles in trail of your six o'clock position [directlybehind the 747]<strong>The</strong>n, the Air Force Regional Operations Command Center (ROCC)is asked by ARTCC by radio (in this transcript) if they see anyother aircraft (a/k/a target, primary, surge, return or traffic)on their radar screen near the 747, which is <strong>no</strong>w 40 miles south ofFort Yukon, a village 146 s.m., 127 n.m. or 234 km <strong>no</strong>rth (magnetic)of Fairbanks.ROCC....It looks like I am getting some surge, primaryreturn...I don't k<strong>no</strong>w if it's erroneous or whatever...ARTCCNegative, uhuh, it' s <strong>no</strong>t erroneous. I want you (ROCC)to keep a good track on there, and if you pick up a code,[sic] and verify that you do <strong>no</strong>t have any aircraftoperating in that area....ROCCThat is affirm. We [military] do <strong>no</strong>t have anybody upthere right <strong>no</strong>w....ARTCCOkay...I'm picking up a primary...right in front of [the 747]50 miles south of [Fort Yukon].ROCCOkay, I've got him <strong>about</strong> his-ah, oh-it looks like <strong>about</strong>, ah,ten o'clock [60 degrees left-front of the 747], at <strong>about</strong> thatrange, yes. [several miles in front of the 747]ARTCCAlright keep an eye on that, and ah-see if-ah, any othermilitary in that area.<strong>The</strong>n, the lights move to the rear of the 747 as it flies overFairbanks. At this point, the 747 requests permission (since itis on an ARTCC controlled IFR flight) to take evasive action, eventhough very low on fuel. ARTCC says okay. <strong>The</strong> 747 makes a turnand drops 4000 feet (1220 meters) to 31,000 feet (9500 meters) MSL


to see if the lights follow. <strong>The</strong>y do. <strong>The</strong>n, ARTCC requests the747 to take additional evasive action.ARTCCJapan Air 1628...request you to make a right turn, 360degrees [a complete circle]...and advise me what yourtraffic does then.ROCCThis is [ROCC] again. On some other equipment here we haveconfirmed [emp<strong>has</strong>is <strong>no</strong>t in original] there is a flight sizeof two around [the 747],ARTCCOkay, where is—is he following him?ROCCIt looks like he is, yes.ARTCCJapan Air 1628. Sir, the military radar advises they do havea primary target in trail of you at this time.Okay (ROCC), do you have anybody you can scramble up there.ROCCI'll tell you what, we 1 re gonna talk to your liaison sir <strong>about</strong>that.ARTCCJapan Air 1628 heavy. Military radar advises they arepicking up intermittent primary target behind you intrail.In-trail, I say again.ROCCAh-I'm gonna talk to my other radar man here...he's got someother equipment watching this aircraft.ARTCCRoger sir, Would you (JAL 1628) like our military to scrambleon the traffic?JAL 1628Negative, negative.Captain Terauchi refuses the scramble because he worries <strong>about</strong>the safety of the 747 in that situation, and he does <strong>no</strong>t feel itis an imminent threat at that time; personal statement, pg. 4.<strong>The</strong> above are excerpts from the live transcript of the radiocommunications at the time of the sighting. In fairness, therewere a number of radio transmissions during this time period (30minutes) where controllers could <strong>no</strong>t find the other target on theirradar, or having once found the target, intermittently lost it.When he does the 360 degree turn near Fairbanks, Terauchicatches a glimpse of the craft following the 747, which <strong>no</strong>w appearsdifferent than before: It <strong>no</strong>w appears to be two bright lights,1000 feet apart, with a silhouette of a walnut or saturn shaped"mothership" in between which is as large as "two aircraftcarriers." See Drawing "B". Note, the small 747 drawn under theright side of the larger object.


After the 360 degree turn, Terauchi immediately requests aflight path directly to Anchorage because of low fuel. <strong>The</strong>"mothership" disappears 10 minutes later, in the vicinity of Mt,McKinley/Mt. Denali. After the 747 passes Mt. McKinley, two otheraircraft enroute from Anchorage to Fairbanks are asked to look forthe object by ARTCC. Both say the object is <strong>no</strong>t in sight. JAL1628 lands safely in Anchorage 25 minutes later.This story was carried in dozens of newspaper and magazinearticles during the next several months. (See end <strong>no</strong>te for partiallist of 57) <strong>The</strong> <strong>FAA</strong> did an investigation that included recordedinterviews with the crew, written statements from the crew andcontrollers, accumulation of radar data, transcription of theoriginal live radio communications, and an analysis of the radarimages. This together with other correspondence in the <strong>FAA</strong> filetotals <strong>about</strong> 1000 pages. It is all <strong>no</strong>w located at the NationalArchives in Anchorage, Alaska. <strong>The</strong> <strong>FAA</strong> interviews of the crewmembers were conducted in a courteous and professional manner with<strong>no</strong> attempt to intimidate them. An <strong>FAA</strong> Inspection and SurveillanceRecord states James Derry interviewed the crew immediately afterthe flight landed, and that they "were shook up but professional."In a<strong>no</strong>ther report the <strong>FAA</strong> investigator who questioned the crewconcluded that the crew were rational and professional and showed<strong>no</strong> evidence of drug or alcohol use. Terauchi was a 47 year oldpilot with 20 years of experience at that time. <strong>The</strong>re wasdifficulty in transcribing the interviews because the crew oftenspoke in Japanese and an interpreter at times translated bothquestions and responses. <strong>The</strong> <strong>FAA</strong> had the radar image data reviewedby the <strong>FAA</strong> 1 s Technical Center in Atlantic City, N.J., using"identical" equipment. <strong>The</strong>y determined that a second radar targetnear the 747 at the time of the reported sightings was <strong>no</strong>t a<strong>no</strong>theraircraft but rather a split radar image from the 747. Apparently,this is the <strong>FAA</strong>'s official explanation of what their controllerssaw on their radar screen.A more critical look, however, reveals that the <strong>FAA</strong>'s officialstory can <strong>no</strong>t and does <strong>no</strong>t adequately explain the radar images seenby the controllers as reported on the live transcript. Here is the<strong>FAA</strong>'s explanation, from a March 5, 1987 official release by PaulSteucke of the <strong>FAA</strong> Public Affairs office in Anchorage:Radar data received by the <strong>FAA</strong> and used to trackJapan Airlines flight 1628 on the night of the [sic]November 17, 1986, was retained by <strong>FAA</strong>. Review of thisradar data by <strong>FAA</strong> experts using identical equipment atthe <strong>FAA</strong>'s research technical center in Atlantic City, NewJersey, revealed that the radar system was receiving whatis called an "uncorrelated primary and beacon target".[sic]This electronic phe<strong>no</strong>mena [sic] is <strong>no</strong>t unusualaccording to Steucke who said, "It is unfortunate that


the uncorrelated target phe<strong>no</strong>mena [sic] occurred justwhen a pilot was reporting seeing something outside hisaircraft.<strong>The</strong> controller's statements, released by the <strong>FAA</strong>,indicate that they thought there might be a<strong>no</strong>theraircraft or object in the area of the JAL flight. Steuckesaid, "<strong>The</strong> controllers were doing their job right becausethey have to work with what is right there in front ofthem on the screen, especially when you [sic] have aCaptain that is reporting "other traffic" [sic] in hisimmediate area. <strong>The</strong> radar data they had was one target,moving slowly across the radar screen. <strong>The</strong>y don't havethe benefit of "monday [sic] morning guarterbacking"[sic] with multiple radar images as was the case inregenerating the radar data." Review of the radar databy <strong>FAA</strong> experts revealed the "uncorrelated target"phe<strong>no</strong>mena [sic].<strong>FAA</strong> electronic technicians explained that an"uncorrelated primary and beacon target" on the radarscreen occurs when the radar energy that is sent uptoward the aircraft, (primary signal) returns to theradar receiver along with the aircraft transponder(beacon) signal and the two do <strong>no</strong>t match up as being atthe same exact location. [See drawing "C"]This explanation implies that the controllers did <strong>no</strong>t see a"real" target and therefore, the flight crew must have also beenmistaken <strong>about</strong> what they saw. <strong>The</strong> problem with this officialexplanation is that it does <strong>no</strong>t account for what the controllersreported seeing as stated in the 1 ive transcript. This is why:<strong>The</strong> official <strong>FAA</strong> explanation can only account for two targets thatwere within a quarter mile of each other (one radar cell apart) andonly if in the same line or flight path, because the two radarsignals, originating from the same target, must necessarily followeach other, since they are coming from the same moving source butwith a slight timing difference. That is, the timing differencebetween the reception of the primary and the secondary signalswhile the plane is crossing from one radar cell to a<strong>no</strong>ther is theonly way an uncorrelated signal occurs.But, in the live transcript, the controllers are talking <strong>about</strong>seeing the other target in locations more than 1/4 mile away fromthe 747. In one instance, the controller is talking <strong>about</strong> seeingthe other target five miles or more from the 747 ( "five miles intrail"), or out to the side ("ten o'clock position"); in a<strong>no</strong>therinstance it was reported several miles from the 747 (50 miles southof Fort Yukon, when the 747 was 40 miles south of Fort Yukon justearlier). In a<strong>no</strong>ther instance, the controllers report a flightsize of two around the 747, which means a total of three targets,which can<strong>no</strong>t be accounted for by the split radar image, which ca<strong>no</strong>nly yield two targets. Also, <strong>no</strong>te above that the controllers say


they are picking up a<strong>no</strong>ther "primary" target near the 747; theynever talk <strong>about</strong> picking up a<strong>no</strong>ther secondary (transponder) target.To restate, the primary target is the ground radar signal bouncingoff an aircraft and returning to the ground receiver; it is <strong>no</strong>t atransponder code coming in. This means that whatever was up theredid <strong>no</strong>t have an active transponder in it, which is required by <strong>FAA</strong>regulations for civilian aircraft at that altitude. <strong>The</strong> ROCCstates clearly that <strong>no</strong> military craft are in the area. This factstends to eliminate a<strong>no</strong>ther airplane, either civil or military, asan explanation for these unexplained signals.This is <strong>no</strong>t to say controllers did <strong>no</strong>t see "uncorrelated radarsignals", which is a common phe<strong>no</strong>me<strong>no</strong>n when dealing with a planegoing 565 miles per hour and where the ground radar is locatedseveral hundred miles away. <strong>The</strong> controllers probably did see them.This is so because the plane advances into a new radar cells (1/4mile increments) every 1.6 seconds, while the <strong>FAA</strong> radar does asweep (updates the position of the plane by taking a new radarreading) approximately every three seconds. Rather, the 1ivetranscript confirms that the controllers saw something eitherseparate from or in addition to these very common split returns.Furthermore, controllers are trained to recognize these splitimages, so that it is doubtful that this type of error actuallyoccurred in this instance, especially by 3 or 4 differentcontrollers.<strong>The</strong> fact that the <strong>UFO</strong> appears intermittently and finallydisappears is consistent with stealth tech<strong>no</strong>logy, which is reportedin many other <strong>UFO</strong> reports. Stealth tech<strong>no</strong>logy means that the craftcan hide itself or "cloak" itself from radar. In new conventionalaircraft, stealth is achieved by making a craft out of somethingother than ferrous metals and by making the craft in a shape wherethere are <strong>no</strong> sharp angles formed by the body which will catch theradar wave and bounce it back toward the ground radar receiver.Modern stealth crafts, like the F-117A and the B-2, are built usingthese principles: <strong>The</strong>y are made of composites (<strong>no</strong>n-metals, suc<strong>has</strong> Kevlar, Boron Fibers, and others) and have minimal sharp angles.A round object, a cy1inder, a cigar shaped object, or a Saturnshaped disk would seem to have a shape consistent with k<strong>no</strong>wnstealth tech<strong>no</strong>logy.According to an article in the Anchorage Daily News by HalBernton on January 6, 1987, Dr. Richard Haines, a NASA scientistat that time, working for the Ames Research Center in Californiasaid this: In the past 20 years, more than 3000 sightings of <strong>UFO</strong>'shave been reported by pilots. <strong>The</strong> sightings are reported bymilitary, civilian and commercial pilots who fly both national andinternational routes. Dr. Haines <strong>has</strong> done extensive studies ofthese 3000 pilot reports. See: Haines, R. F.

What is one tomake of a situation where two researchers (the other beingPhilip Klass ) draw opposite <strong>conclusion</strong>s from the same data?I have a suggestion that I hope will satisfy all concernedand lay this matter to rest, at least as far as SKY &TELESCOPE is concerned.I am willing to run a VERY brief letter over yoursignature stating that Klass 's analysis doesn't tell thewhole story and that a conflicting analysis can be found inthe INT'L. <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER. I propose to avoid any mention ofthe details other than to say that the latter article citesevidence refuting Klass 's claim that the <strong>UFO</strong> had anastro<strong>no</strong>mical origin. Under your letter I'd run an evenbriefer "Editor's Note" indicating that Klass <strong>has</strong> publishedhis revised analysis in the Summer, 1987, issue of THESKEPTICAL INQUIRER. I'd suggest readers go directly to 7these sources to make up their own minds <strong>about</strong> the best fexplanation of the incident.JIf that sounds OK to you, I can distill the letter fromyour original dated July 15th. Or, if you'd prefer, you canwrite me a new letter. In any case, please let me k<strong>no</strong>w ifthis strikes you as a fair way to handle the matter.Incidentally, friends tell me the Hayden Planetariumre<strong>no</strong>vations are terrific. I've finally joined the Museum ofScience after living here 8 years, and I look forward tovisiting the planetarium again in the near future to see theimprovements for myself.Sincerely yours,Richard Tresch FienbergAssistant EditorSky and Telescope magazine, star atlases, and educational materials in astro<strong>no</strong>my since 7947.

My ownanalysis o-f the <strong>FAA</strong> data disagrees with his. I was able toobtain through <strong>no</strong>n-<strong>FAA</strong> sources -further <strong>FAA</strong> data which establ ishthe -flight path o-f the JAL.

After having spoken with Mr. Klass andread his latest article, I have concluded that SKY &TELESCOPE did <strong>no</strong>t err in its June News Note reporting theastro<strong>no</strong>mical origin of the <strong>UFO</strong>.It's true there are new revelations that were <strong>no</strong>tcovered by the News Note, but these appear to have simpleexplanations that don't bear on the veracity of the Jupiterexplanation for the long-lasting, bright <strong>UFO</strong>.

Museum of Science\July 15, 1987Editor, Sky & TelescopeSky Publishing Corporation49 Bay State RoadCambridge, Ma 02238-1290Dear Editor:Regarding the Japan Air Lines <strong>UFO</strong> sighting (June issue,pages 603-604), Philip Klass's Jupiter hypothesis does <strong>no</strong>t explainthe facts of this complicated case. (Klass himself <strong>has</strong> since revisedhis explanation.)When the sighting began, two lights were reported <strong>about</strong>30 to the left of the aircraft's heading (215°); brilliant Jupiterwould have appeared more than ,70° to the left of . the plane, dimmerMars.<strong>about</strong> 55° left.Klass appears to have ig<strong>no</strong>red the pilot's complete descriptio<strong>no</strong>f what he said he observed. <strong>The</strong> captain stated that he watchedtwo pairs of rectangular arrays of many lights and later a third muchlarger oval object dimly outlined. .<strong>The</strong> other two crew members verifiedseeing a multitude of lights in front of the plane. <strong>The</strong> aircraft'sweather radar displayed a target (range <strong>about</strong> 8 miles) whichappeared in the same direction and altitude as the oval object seenvisually by the pilot (again ruling out Jupiter). At -the end of thelengthy sighting, it was reported that the large object dropped behindthe aircraft far from Jupiter's position.I believe the most detailed study of the JAL case is a 20-page discussion and analysis by Bruce Maccabee, a Navy optical physicist,in the International <strong>UFO</strong> Reporter, March-April 1987 issue, publishedby the J. Allen Hynek Center for <strong>UFO</strong> Studies, 2457 Peterson Avenue,Chicago, IL 60659.

US DeportmentofTronspcmtionNews:Federal Avjatlon K2M". 995 ,3Administration oo?) 271-5296FOR RELEASE ONMARCH 5, 1987#87-09<strong>FAA</strong> P^IOTES pncHHEOTS ONREPORTED <strong>UFO</strong> SIGHTING LAST NOVEMBERCONTACT: PAUL STEUCKE<strong>The</strong> Federal Aviation Administration today released documents relating to thereported sighting of an unidentified flying object (<strong>UFO</strong>) over Alaska by a JapanAir Lines flight crew on November 17, 1986, saying it was unable to confirm theevent.<strong>The</strong> material was issued by <strong>FAA</strong>'s Regional Office in Anchorage, Alaska, andincluded transcripts of pilot-controller communications, interviews withcontrollers and the flight crew, radar plots and other data.<strong>FAA</strong>'s Regional Public Affairs Officer Paul Steucke pointed out that <strong>FAA</strong><strong>no</strong>rmally does <strong>no</strong>t investigate <strong>UFO</strong> sightings but pursued the JAL incident in itsrole as the operator of the air traffic control system. He said the agency'sobjective was to determine if there was an unreported aircraft in the vicinityof the JAL flight that could present a safety hazard.As part of the inquiry, Steucke said, radar data of the JAL flight track wasreviewed by <strong>FAA</strong> experts at the agency's Technical Center in Atlantic City,N.J., using identical equipment. <strong>The</strong>y determined that a second radar targetnear the JAL flight at the time of the reported sighting was <strong>no</strong>t a<strong>no</strong>theraircraft but rather a split radar return from the JAL Boeing 747.Technically, this is k<strong>no</strong>wn as an "uncorrelated primary and beacon targetreturn." It means that the primary radar signal reflected off the aircraft'ssurface did <strong>no</strong>t correlate exactly with the pulse etr.itted by the aircraft'sradar beacon transponder. This phe<strong>no</strong>me<strong>no</strong>n is <strong>no</strong>t unusual and gives theimpression of two separate radar targets.Steucke also <strong>no</strong>ted that <strong>FAA</strong> controllers who monitored the JAL aircraft saidin their statements that they thought there might have been a<strong>no</strong>ther aircraftbecause of the dual radar targets. However, a <strong>no</strong>rthbound United Air Lines jetthat was diverted by controllers to intercept the JAL flight path did establishvisual contact with that aircraft but the pilots saw <strong>no</strong>thing else.<strong>The</strong> Nov. 17 <strong>UFO</strong> sighting was reported by JAL Captain Kenjyu Terauchi on acargo flight over the polar cap from Iceland to Japan via Anchorage. CaptainTerauchi said he had visual contact from approximately the U.S.-Canadian borderto south of Fairbanks. On Jan. 11, 1987, Captain Terauchi also reporteda<strong>no</strong>ther sighting in the same general area as the first.Steucke said <strong>FAA</strong> is satisfied that the safety of the air traffic controlsystem was <strong>no</strong>t compromised by the Nov. 17 incident and plans <strong>no</strong> furtherinvestigation of the circumstances.

Paul Steucke<strong>FAA</strong> Public Affairs701 C Street, Box 14Anch. AK 99513 March 5, 1987UNCORRELATED RADAR SIGNALSRadar data received by the <strong>FAA</strong> and used to track Japan Airlines flight 1628on the night of the November 17, 1986, was retained by <strong>FAA</strong>. Review of thisradar data by <strong>FAA</strong> experts using identical equipment at the <strong>FAA</strong>'s researchtechnical center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, revealed that the radar systemwas receiving what is called an "uncorrelated primary and beacon target".This electronic phe<strong>no</strong>mena is <strong>no</strong>t unusual according to Steucke who said, "Itis unfortunate that the uncorrelated target phe<strong>no</strong>mena occurred just when apilot was reporting seeing something outside his aircraft.<strong>The</strong> controller's statements, released by the <strong>FAA</strong>, indicate that they thoughtthere might be a<strong>no</strong>ther aircraft or object in the area of the JAL flight.Steucke said, "<strong>The</strong> controllers were doing their job right because they have towork with what is right there in front of them on the screen, especially whenyou have a Captain that is reporting "other traffic" in his immediate area.<strong>The</strong>.-radar data they had was one target, moving slowly across the radar screen.<strong>The</strong>y don't have the benefit of "monday morning quarterbacking" with multipleradar images as was the case in regenerating the radar data." Review of theradar data by <strong>FAA</strong> experts revealed the "uncorrelated target" phe<strong>no</strong>mena.<strong>FAA</strong> electronic technicians explained that an "uncorrelated primary andbeacon target" on the radar screen occurs when the radar energy that is sent uptoward the aircraft, (primary signal) returns to the radar receiver along withthe aircraft transponder (beacon) signal and the two do <strong>no</strong>t match up as beingat the same exact location.

ANALYSIS OF UNCORRELATED PRIMARYAND BEACON TARGETS(JAL-1628, 11/17/86 AKST)Approximately 61 minutes of data was extracted from the EARTS CDRprintouts relating to the November 18 incident involving JAL-1628and the alleged <strong>UFO</strong> sighting.Review of the data involving this incident did <strong>no</strong>t show anyab<strong>no</strong>rmalities that could be associated with any type of target asindicated by the pilot of JAL-1628.Radar returns from the aircraft and surrounding terrain vary withthe different segments of the flight, but are considered <strong>no</strong>rmalfor the area.Returns relating to the incident can be categorized as threetypes: primary radar reinforced by a beacon reply (primary radarreturns and beacon returns are both evident in the same 1/4 milerange cell), beacon only reply and beacon with an associatedradar reply. Seventy-two percent of the replies were radar withbeacon reinforcement (same range cell) which is <strong>no</strong>rmal for theMurphy dome radar system.Approximately 25 percent were beacon only and of those thatregistered as beacon only, 90 percent of those had a primary onlyreply within 1/8 of a mile, either ahead or behind the beacontarget (5 behind, 12 ahead).<strong>The</strong>se uncorrelated primary returns are <strong>no</strong>t uncommon, due to thecritical timing associated with the delay adjustments in theaircraft transponder for beacon systems and the targetcorrelation circuitry within the radar equipment.When an aircraft is being interrogated as it passes through thebeginning of adjacent range cells the intricate timing betweenthe two systems very often is off Just e<strong>no</strong>ugh to declare both abeacon and a radar target in different range cells, resulting inuncorrelated radar replies.<strong>The</strong> data derived from the JAL-1628 flight is representative ofthe data from a<strong>no</strong>ther aircraft in the same general area and isconsidered <strong>no</strong>rmal.February 25, 1987lennis R.

R. Gordon Okay, yesK. Terauchi But this one 13 <strong>no</strong>zzle direction (Japanese)(garbled) we couldn'tsee this light this direction we could see big flameR. Gordon Maybe we're saying then if you're looking at the back of it andthen when it turns sideways this doesn't show. Okay Iunderstand.F. Fujii From the forward you could see the flame and the exhaust andflame were surrounding it.R. Gordon OkayF. Fujii So maybe ah, I - I think ah, urn exhaust started (garbled)R. Gordon Being okay these things here, maybe being each one of thesethings here, so these were maybe stacked* in otharvarda if youwere looking at the top view down, you would just see one if youcome around here you would see all of those lights. Okay yeahK. Terauchi So if they moved up or I guess this ah exhaust moved to ah, thisway down so finally five years ago I saw the rocket.R. Gordon Maybe that would account for that bright light he saw five yearsago. In otherwords if these turned down you.couldn't see themand then when it looked like it moved over here some over hereturned up and then you could see them where it looked like itmoved over there? So you're saying . . .K. Terauchi Anyway ah (Japanese) right (Japanese) . . . Talk to me ...Could <strong>no</strong>t see but only here and here . . . and this, here, darkarea, I saw sparks, like fire. When using gasoline or carbonfuel. You can see a great big flame, but I could <strong>no</strong>t see (flame)at all in this angle, although there was a big blast.F. Fuji! Seems like it's really high tech<strong>no</strong>logy because you can't seeanything over here unless it's spinning rotation.R. Gordon Yeah, okay, yeah, somebody said sometimes the sparks kick overinto that and you could see the exhaust, <strong>no</strong>w with ah that in mindthis other picture you have here, where would this be on thisthing captain?F. Fujii What you're asking him where this (garbled) . . .K. Terauchi Quite different, this is just small space ship, this one size ofcarrier, two times carrier so mothership, so ah after they flewwith us three ah five minutes like home mission, then move to amothership. So then I found mothership light, but this is <strong>no</strong>tlight, all engine, because ah we have contact seven or eight milehere, so we saw this first-lights, so urn after light contact ahthey move behind so we saw this pairs of light, so we saw thislight same size, this one, same size.


R. Gordon Same distance apart . . . Now do you think that was just themothership and then these little things were ...K. Terauchi But, yes, that rightR. Gordon I mean they were moving along, at that time where were theselights , captain?F. Fuji! (Japanese) disappearR. Cordon Okay, okayK. Terauchi <strong>The</strong>n we find this light, so I think this one is light, but Ithink <strong>no</strong>w this is engine, so ah, same type of engine, the samelogic . . . the same type of engine. This one and this one, thesame logic, this point and this point are the same Just bigger insize. This is the small one so it looked like this, but thebigger one, I could <strong>no</strong>t see but only here, small size, big size,same tech<strong>no</strong>logy. YeahR. Gordon Oh, ohF. Fujii <strong>The</strong> mothership seems like it, he said that, this, this, sametech<strong>no</strong>logy, type of engineR. Gordon Well they're alot, much larger,EC. Terauchi Yes, much larger . . .R. Gordon So this right here would be ah, sitting . . .S. Himoto No, this light is sitting hereK. Terauchi Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, .yeah . . .R. Gordon . . . Only much larger (garbled)K. Terauchi Yeah much larger, much power. But, this color is white uh . . .it's ah urn dark white pole . . . weak light . . .(unintelligible)R. Cordon Maybe because it's so much bigger.K. Terauchi YeahR. Gordon Now this distance, <strong>no</strong>w you ware speaking of these were fairlyclose uh?K, Terauchi Hum uh, ah distances is ah, ah, <strong>no</strong>t this, this one ah, 500, ah.between 500 and 1,000 feet.R. Cordon Okay, out from you, and then it took off and went out here andmaybe this is, ah, you said five to seven miles or something onthe radar.


K. Tarauchi A <strong>no</strong>, seven, seven or eight miles.R. Gordon Okay seven or eight miles, that'3 what they were saying on theradar.K. Terauchi Yeah, this later, so we saw <strong>about</strong> seven or eight miles . . .R. Gordon OkayK. Terauchi And, 60 degrees left . . .R. Gordon OkayK. Terauchi So out in here small ship is disappear.R. Gordon Okay, I understand, <strong>no</strong>w lets (unintelligible) what else, see if Iforget anything, visual was a first, what, you showed me exactlywhat you saw. Visually sighting, you saw it first uh?K. Terauchi FirstR. Gordon OkayF. Fujii And (unintelligible) probably how long had you contacted thetarget.R. Gordon No that's what we were saying, five to six minutes before youcalled ATC.K. Terauchi Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.R. Gordon Okay, did the other crew have trouble sighting the object?F. Fuji! Did the rest of the crew see the lights?K. Terauchi (More Japanese) So I tried to fix it, but I ah, failed.LaughterK. Terauchi Just, shutter was open, did <strong>no</strong>t close, so ...F. Fujii Yes every crew <strong>has</strong> seen it.R. Gordon Okay all the crew members they did see it. Okay. Laughter . . .Yeah that's what I would do (more laughter)F. Fujii What type of onboard radar?R. Gordon Yeah, what type of radar was onboard, that ah ?K. Terauchi It was the kind, ditigal, but I don <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>w.


R. Gordon Digital color?K. Terauchi Yea colored, digital . . .R. Gordon Okay, fine, yeah, that's all we need! I don't need to k<strong>no</strong>wnumbers. Ah did the target appear on the radar as unusual or, orsolid target or intermitt . . .F. Fuji! Was it clear?K. Terauchi Clearly, clearly . . .R. Gordon Very clearlyK. Terauchi But, ah, ah, strong, ah return signal is strong in case of astorm, show ah red, and next yellow.R. Gordon Okay? <strong>The</strong>, but weak is green . . .R. Gordon Right.K. Terauchi So ah is green light.R. Gordon It showed green . . .K. Terauchi GreenR. Gordon Okay, yeah r that's, that's where even some of the stuff could getthrough it, like when you take a picture of a cloud on theradar'. . .K. Terauchi Oh yeah . . .R. Gordon If it's green, but if it'9 got heavy rain in it or thunderstormin it then it shows red . . .K. Terauchi Yea, yesR. Gordon So it's light green, maybe the waves can go through this thing.Okay so it showed green on the radar, on the color radar.F. Fujii When did you pick it up, the radar?K. Terauchi Time? Time?F. Fujii Time, is it by time, when?R. Gordon Oh after, how long after you saw it with your eyes did you pickit up on the radar?K. Terauchi Okay ah, urn seven minutes, five minute, makes it twelve minutes,so, ah, fifteen minutes after contact.


R. Gordon Fifteen minutes after you visually contacted it, okay, okay.K. Terauchi Yeah, fifteen minutes . . . when ah ...R. Gordon See, it Just says did you paint anything that's did you seeanything else on the radar, weather or anything else . . .K. Terauchi No, <strong>no</strong>, <strong>no</strong>thing.R. Gordon Just that target . . .K. Terauchi Yeah, yes, yes.R. Gordon Okay, okay . . . <strong>The</strong> only thing we saw on the radar then was thattargetF. Fujii How <strong>about</strong> the aircraft, any turbulence?K. Terauchi No, ah, <strong>no</strong>R. Gordon No, <strong>no</strong> turbulence, <strong>no</strong> turbulence at all, okay. Autopilot stayedon all the time.K. Terauchi Yeah . . .R. Gordon OkayK. Terauchi Working goodR. Gordon Good, (laughter)F. Fujii Now how <strong>about</strong> communications, navlagion, or interferring of anysort . . .?K. Terauchi This ah small aircraft near the here, so ah all the way VHPtransmit on (unintelligible) with ah some we got a like some kindof ... like ah. Jamming.R. Gordon . Some kind of interference?EC. TerauchiInterference.R. Gordon On the 7HF?K. Terauchi Yes then this one leave for mother3hip . . .R. Gordon Ah haK. Terauchi Back to <strong>no</strong>rmalf?)R. Gordon Okay, did you say it's like German talking uh?


K. Terauchi Yeah, yeah, yeah.R. Gordon OkayS. Mimoto Mas it's sound like speaking in German, or Just jamming <strong>no</strong>ise?K. Terauchi It was Just <strong>no</strong>ise, sounded zaa, zaaR. Gordon Oh Just <strong>no</strong>ise . . . Okay, okay I misunderstood you, I'm glad youbrought that out.K. Terauchi Normally when you can hear clearly it is digital 5« 5, 4» 3» 2,1 - but it was <strong>about</strong> 2.F. Fujii You k<strong>no</strong>w five by five radio communicationR. Gordon Oh yeah uh hu, okay sureF. Fuji! It was like two . . .R. Gordon Okay okay, like twoK. Terauchi Sometimes missing, sometimes missing.R. Gordon Like, almost like, ah, background <strong>no</strong>ise?K. Terauchi Yes, yes.R. Gordon Okay, and then when it, when the little small lights departed the<strong>no</strong>ise went away, then back to real clear communications?K. Terauchi Yes, that's right.R. Gordon Okay, fine, ah, lets see, I'm going to come back to thirteen,because ah ...F. Fujii OkayR. Gordon What was there any question?F. Fujii Did you see any reflection on the glass (window)?R..GordonInside the cockpit, was it dark, all the light off inside thecockpit?K. Terauchi Oh ah, dark yeah, yeah, yeah.K. Terauchi <strong>The</strong>refore, there was <strong>no</strong>t reflection of inside. No reflectionfrom inside. So when I took the camera bag, finding the object,all the lights were turned off, made room dark - cargo room andpassenger room, there was <strong>no</strong>thing to reflect.F. Fujil We have ah, on a cargo plane we have a back lounge.


R. Gordon Yeah, I'm familiar with it, yeah I've been on there.F. Fuji! So he turned the light off on that, because they were trying totake a photo.R. Gordon Okay, okayF. Fuji! So the (unintelligible) was dark.R. Gordon Okay, that's good, I Just wanted to make sure that everything inthe cockpit you k<strong>no</strong>w, you see something and then you turn thelight cause, me being a pilot, <strong>no</strong>rmally when I see something outthere I'll turn the lights off and get everything dark inside.K. Terauchi Yes that's right.F. Fuji! When you changed you aircraft position, did they make any specialmoves?K. Terauchi Ho, they didn't. See here, I began to circle 360 degrees, theystayed at the same position with us.F. Fuji! Uh uh, same positionK. Terauchi Same position, same position, same position all the way(unintelligible)R. Gordon Okay following you right around uh?K. Terauchi YesR. Gordon And it was here, and then here, and here, and here, and then yourolled out and it was right there, okay.K. Terauchi So ah, ah, I tried next, ah, descent, 3, 5, 0, 3, 1, 0.R. Gordon Ah ah, okay, 3, 1, 0, when you descended to 3* 1* 0, still thereuh?K. Terauchi Yeah, same formation, uh formation descent . . . formationdescent. It was Impressive, the same formation, smooth!R. Gordon OkayK. Terauchi We, we used autopilot when descending, so (unintelligible).R. Gordon Okay, yeah, yeah went right down with him, okay uh . . .F. Fuji! Can we go to the next one?R. Gordon Sure, yeah, I was just was ah ...10


F. Fuji! Size, estimate, ah, sizeK. Terauchi (More Japanese) Two times, or ah, I guess ah ...F. Fuji! (unintelligible) seven four sevenR. Gordon OkayK. Terauchi So ah, size is ah, carrier ...R. Gordon Ah uh, in other words this being the Jumbo Jet was <strong>about</strong> as bigas just the light . . .?K. Terauchi See this is the Jumbo jet. 1.5i two times this light.R. Gordon Okay, okay, I have ... so the side light on this thing was<strong>about</strong>, the Jumbo is <strong>about</strong> two to two-and-a-half time the size ofthis light, so when you stack 'em up, you . . .K. Terauchi Yeah, yeah, yeah . . .R. Gordon . . . were saying <strong>about</strong> two times as big as an aircraft carrier.K. Terauchi Yeah, yeah, yeah.R. Gordon OkayK. Terauchi It felt like this big - (he made a circle by using his fingers);seven to eight miles away and it was this big. Normally, an aircarrier is seven - eight miles away, it looks like this.F. Fujii Seven or eight miles away, usually the aircrafts are likethis . . .R. Gordon Ah uh, okayF. Fujii About this big so ...R. Gordon OkayF. Fujii . . . with his estimate.R. Gordon So he's kinda comparing it to a<strong>no</strong>ther Jumbo jet?F. Fujii Yeah, yeah . . .R. Gordon OkayS. Himoto (More Japanese) TremendousR. Gordon Oh yeah (laughter), boy, okay\.F. Fujii Go for this size here, this one.11


R. Gordon Yeah, let's see what would you estimate the size of the smallships to be?K. Terauchi Ah ... (unintelligible), up here equal to.(unintelligible) wesaw, ah, second (unintelligible), square, but I saw this on here,ah here, for so I guess this one is ma/be separate, separate,then move to here. So ah, ah, (Japanese).R. Gordon Right, yeah, ah uh.S. Himoto if this one was two stacked together, how large was one?K. Terauchi This here ah fuselage, fuselage of DC-8, DC-3 fuselage.R. Gordon DC-8, okay . . . yeah ah uh, in other words this part right herewould be like fuselage of a DC-8.K. Terauchi Oh yes . . .R. Gordon Like this ...K. Terauchi Yeah, yeah, yeah ...R. Gordon OkayK. Terauchi Maybe, maybe <strong>about</strong> like thisR. Gordon Uh ah, yeah I understand, okay, I got it. That's good.F. Fujii Any other lighted or unlight objects, any other lights?K. Terauchi Yeah, we saw ah, some unusual light from ah, top of mothership.R. Gordon Uh ahK. Terauchi Ah, it was <strong>no</strong>t regular, but - <strong>no</strong>t regularly, but white -silverish lights, <strong>no</strong>t in equal span of time, but occasionallyflashed, irregularly lighted at all times.S* Himoto Occasional flashK. Terauchi Flash* flashR. Gordon And since I've got this on tape, if you will help me later, youk<strong>no</strong>w when we write this down, because I can't remember all thisstuff. Thank you.K. Terauchi (Japanese) First time we can<strong>no</strong>t see ah, this (unintelligible) soah, ah, we saw this light, this light, and . . .R. Gordon Ah uh, okay, thank you very^much.12


F. Fuji! (Japanese) No ah magneticK, Terauchl No ah <strong>no</strong> . . .R. Gordon No gages, or the instruments or the RHI on everything stayedokay, <strong>no</strong> magnetic disturbances? Okay. Ah, did the intensity ofthe objects lights change? I think he just explained that didn'the on that ah ...S. Mimoto (unintelligible) you mean intensity of light?R. Gordon No on this object here, did the, did the intensity of theselights change, and I think he just explained that, ah ...F. Fujii You mean by distance, right?R. Gordon No the intensity, the brightness of the, ah ...S. Mimoto (unintelligible)F. Fujii Did the intensity of lights change?K. Terauchi No, it did <strong>no</strong>t change.R. Gordon <strong>The</strong>y didn't change, huh?K. Terauchi Steady, steady.R. Gordon Okay, the intensity was steady?K. Terauchi YesK. Terauchi Visibility ah, more clear, all the way clear, clear sky.R. Gordon Okay . . .K. Terauchi Clear skyR. Gordon How <strong>about</strong> visibilty? What would you estimate, you k<strong>no</strong>w whenyou're coming down from up there where we enter over Alaska whereyou come off the sea and hit Alaska, you come up a ways and thenyou can see Fairbanks out here, <strong>no</strong> problems seeing Fairbanks?K. Terauchi When flying over Fort Yukon ...R. Gordon Fort Yukon, yeah.K. Terauchi We can see ah Fairbanks and Eilsen Air Base.R. Gordon Okay, yes, good, that's real clear, that's that's fine.ShinbaahiIt was near full moon wasn't it?13


K. Terauchi But we came this way. Full moon (unintelligible) Greenland,after we, we cross ah Greenland we saw moon right side(unintelligible) . . . but moon move to ah behind us so whencrossing the Canadian, Canadian, ah, FLR (unintelligible) somaybe ah moon, ah stay near the horizon, so we couldn't use themoon light.R. Gordon Ah uh, I understand.K. Terauchi (Japanese)R. Gordon So the moon was very low?K. Terauchi Very low, very low, okay.R. Gordon That's good, I appreciate you bringing that up, I didn't think<strong>about</strong> the moon, but that's good.K. Terauchi Full moon, full moon, was very low, full moon.R. Gordon Well that's good, I'm glad you folks did that, uh . . .K. Terauchi So ah,R. Gordon <strong>The</strong>re's one last question . . .? YeaR. Gordon This, and it's just threw it in here, is there anything else that• • I didn't ask you that you could help us sort this thing out?K. Terauchi Ah, yes, theyR. Gordon Frank, see how that tapes doing. We still got plenty?F. Fujii Yes, ah uh.R. Gordon That's good, because the mike is right there that's super.K. Terauchi See it is recoil blasting, Just a little bit high here, it isblasting jets, then if it was at the same altitude as we were* Iassume they are using an atomic energy, there will be someradiation left on our aircraft. Also the other is, that airturbulence be created. So they did <strong>no</strong>t want to leave anyevidence of their ailstance. Also the reason, why they werethere (position) is that they wanted to leave <strong>no</strong> evidence. Seeit is round, the air current goes this way (he is drawing apicture), see if they were at the same altitude, they wouldcreate air turbulance, but they never positioned when the airturbulance would disturb us.R. Gordon Those are the small one <strong>no</strong>w?14


K. Terauchi Yeah. . .R. Gordon <strong>The</strong> little one huh?K. Terauchi (Japanese) . . .F. Fuji! That flight level right there does <strong>no</strong>t leave any evidence, alsoif it on the same level, it would give this aircraft a littleturbulence cause of this air.R. Gordon You got <strong>no</strong> turbulence?K. Terauchi No turbulence.R. Gordon So it's just suspended there, really.K. Terauchi (Japanese) RightF. Fuji! (unintelligible) leave the evidence . . .R. Gordon Yeah, well that's what I'm saying, it's so moving, it's either soareodynamic that it's <strong>no</strong>t causing, so you're saying when he wasright in front of you there was <strong>no</strong>t turbulence and if you hadbeen that close to a<strong>no</strong>ther object that large you should have gotsome buffetting?K. Terauchi YeahR. Gordon Okay, I understandK. Terauchi <strong>The</strong> turbulance would assure their existance, therefore, theypositioned themselves to here from the beginning.R. Gordon YesK. Terauchi Certainly, ah approaching Fort Yukon, west side, this side eastside, so ah (unintelligible)(Japanese) big mothership (Japanese),horizon, sunset, we caught up the sunset, two - three millimetersstrip of it. <strong>The</strong>n there was the raothership. <strong>The</strong>y never came tothis side. Because of the sunset (if they came to the otherside) they would be seen, their shape by us. <strong>The</strong>y positionedthemselves at the darkest side, difficult place for us to see.But see, our aircraft was in front of the sunset and visible forany movement we make. <strong>The</strong>y took the trouble to position*themselves to be in the darkest place. I think they did <strong>no</strong>t wantto be seen.F. Fuji! He thinks that they don't want, of course they don't want theship to see it, so they go to the place where it's dark . . .R. Gordon YeahF. Fuji! . . . and because there's a sunset over here, and <strong>about</strong> one15


K. Terauchl (Japanese) 0.1 ah, inchF. Fuji! About 0.1 ...R. Gordon Just right on the horizon, the sun was setting?.F. Fujii Teah, yes. So they don't want to go toward the ship side, theystayed away from it.R. Gordon Toward the dark side.F. Fujii YesR. Gordon So that would have put them to the east like on the Canadian sideyou're coming down on your side (unintelligible) captain's side?K. Terauchi YesR. Gordon Okay I understand.K. Terauchi I think, perhaps, they have regulations like they must <strong>no</strong>t beseen by humans. But it was a surprise to see the suddenappearance in front of us. If the machine was set automaticallyfor the distance of eight miles away from us, the machine will<strong>no</strong>t come closer than eight miles (but they Jumped in front ofus), so I felt there was a living creature in it. It jumped infront of us, very unusual. <strong>The</strong>y took such unexpected action.Try the other one(?)('F. Fujii Seems like they're trying to stay away, I guess there's some kindof regulation for them to <strong>no</strong>t be seen by ...R. Gordon Ah oh, I understand. I have one more question that came up thatI was thinking; <strong>no</strong>w when he departed, departed east? Is thatwhat someone told me; which direction did, when he departed, wentaway?F. Fujii Which direction did it take off to?K. Terauchi I don't k<strong>no</strong>w. Probably to the east.F. Fujii He thinks it's east, he's <strong>no</strong>t really sure. He was looking at it• and it Just disappeared, so ...R. Gordon Okay, appeared that it went east, but it went so fast?K. Terauchi So fast.R. Gordon OkayF. Fujii He was watching it and it just disappeared . . .16


R. Gordon Okay, fine. Well I can't think of anything else I need to askyou* ah, I really appreciate you taking time to talk to us,because it's very, very interesting and we need to see if we canfigure out what is there, you k<strong>no</strong>w.K. Terauchi So ah, one things, they ah, completely they're controled ofinertial and gravity. Yeah, so their tech<strong>no</strong>logy was unthinkable.Unimaginable high tech<strong>no</strong>logy.F. Fujii High tech.R. Gordon Oh yeah, it just sounds like it. All I can say is let's hopethey're on our side . . . (laughter)ShinbashiThis kind of information (unintelligible) before?R. Gordon No I can't, I haven't so that's why we're trying to get as muchinformation as we have; we're going to send it back toWashington DC, and have them try to marry it up with anythinglike this before and then maybe we can say, oh, it happened here,or it happened here . . .K. Terauchi Oh yeahR. Gordon . . . other sightings, we have a lot of stuff where pilots havehad other sightings.K. Terauchi Oh yesR. Gordon So we don't k<strong>no</strong>w if these lights and all these pictures you drew;maybe they'll be the same and it happened in Arizona or New Yorkor wherever, so we got a place in Washington DC, we'll put themall together and say is any two of them alike. But, but as we gothrough this thing I would be glad to keep you folks informedand, -of what we find out, or if we find out anything, but I'll beglad to tell you and see how we're doing. Could I get thosedrawings, if you don't mind ah? I think that's all we need.K. Terauchi (unintelligible)R. Gordon Yes, yes, you could probably explain that with the thing you havedrawn here. Now these are the same drawings?K.'TerauchiOh <strong>no</strong>, <strong>no</strong>, <strong>no</strong>R. Gordon YeahK. Terauchi This one, this one, are the same.R. Gordon SameK. Terauchi So I like (unintelligible)-17


R. Gordon I get a copy of that Frank? Could we take a picture of that, Iwould certainly appreciate It. Tes. Alright. I think that'sall, can you think of anything we need.K. Terauchi (unintelligible)R. Gordon Yea, please if I could have one. Oh one thing, this trackK. Terauchi Oh yeah. This one is ah (unintelligible) so after this one is ah(unintelligible) this point ah ...R. Gordon Okay, right <strong>about</strong> the . . .K. Terauchi This point, so we contact Anchorage Center here, so ah two orthree minutes, proceed right direct to Talkeetna, so we flew thisdistance . . .R. Gordon Okay from that point direct to Talkeetna and ah, and then some soyou went <strong>about</strong> there you saw this thing.K. Terauchi Yes, yes, I saw from here ... ao ah ...R. Gordon Okay, and then maybe five minutes later along here sayingAnchorage do you have anything out there?K. Terauchi Oh yeah, yeah, yeahR. Gordon Okay I have it. To just <strong>about</strong> Talkeetna?K. Terauchi No <strong>no</strong>, disappear 75 miles <strong>no</strong>rth of Talkeetna . . .R. Gordon Okay 75 miles <strong>no</strong>rth of Talkeetna ...K. Terauchi Yeah, yeahR. Gordon ... it went away.S. Himoto <strong>The</strong> small one, <strong>no</strong>t the mothership, were there many light?K. Terauchi Oh yea, there were numerous lights. <strong>The</strong> exhausts on the enginewere lined up all the way, but when they were blasting recoilJets were so strong I could <strong>no</strong>t see it because it was so bright.Once the recoil blast stopped, the speed was absolutely steady,<strong>no</strong>t faster or slower, and I could see them very clearly.S. Himoto Just one group?K. Terauchi See there were two, appeared in front of us. Right here andright here . . . both exactly the same.S. Himoto Only two?K. Terauchi All I saw was two.^18


R. Gordon Yeah, I got that out of that other one that there was two andthen It went back to the mothership.K. Terauchl YeahS. Mimoto I thought maybe there was more then two.R. Gordon Oh I see, I'm glad you asked that. <strong>The</strong>re were only two?S. Mimoto Only two.R. Gordon But one was larger then the other like there was two of 'em werestuck together, right?S. Miaoto <strong>The</strong>n both are the same size, possible got (stuck) together later?K. Terauchi Yes, possibly. <strong>The</strong> one I saw first, it was this long. See ifthey were stacked together at the beginning, one must havereturned to the mothership soon after the separtation.S. Mimoto This (unintelligible)R. Gordon Oh you saw that, and then they separated like they were togetherand then they came apart.K. Terauchi (Japanese)R. Gordon Ah uh, okay. Same thing, and make sure that I'm right here, thatah, ah airplane, first sighting, and say this is over here, thenit would have . . .S. Mimoto (unintelligible)R. Gordon Okay, fine just so we k<strong>no</strong>w If someone asks us that question wecan answer. Very good. Well I have a lot better understandingof what transpired then what we got out of a bunch of people whenwe talked, and I want to thank you folks for your time. I reallyappreciate it.fat19

',,,,Meeting the Future by Kenju TerauchiPage i. e>f> r+* fb( %Once upon a time if a hunter saw a t.v., how did he describe itto other people? My experience was similar to this. <strong>The</strong> <strong>no</strong>rthof Alaska in mid-November you can<strong>no</strong>t even see the sun; thedarkness continues, until the middle of March. Flight JL 1628,B747 jumbo cargo encountered two spaceships and a Mother ship<strong>about</strong> 50 minutes above Alaska* <strong>The</strong>re was <strong>no</strong> danger but itcreated many questions that a human being can<strong>no</strong>t answer.Page 2.So I am writing that experience down here. In mid-October/ I wasexcited to hear the special flight. This special flight was toimport special French wine from Iceland to Anchorage forapproximately a 6 hour and 20 minute flight. It is an extremelyshort flight compared to most flights. It takes <strong>about</strong> two-thirds<strong>no</strong>rmal flight hours. <strong>The</strong>re are only two landings at Kefurabik(sp.?) International Airport.Page 3.This particular flight was planned to stop at Iceland and increasecargo items rather than flying direct from Paris to Anchorage.However/ since being wintertime if the condition of the runwaywas poor, we may have to reduce the cargo, therefore, everyonewas paying special attention to the amount of cargo. <strong>The</strong>temperature of Kefurabik Airport in November is approximatelymaximum of 3 degrees C. and the lowest was minus 3 degree C.Page 4.Six of us Japan Airline employees arrived at Kefurabik Airport atmidnight and three people welcomed us as usual. We headed on toa new hotel. <strong>The</strong> bed was extremely small. I understood whythe down blanket was only 135 centimeters. We stayed only <strong>about</strong>17 hours. <strong>The</strong> weather became good and the runway was <strong>no</strong>t frozenand we left the Kefurabik at 2042.Page 16.Co-employees are married, have children and are young. I ampleased that <strong>no</strong>thing happened. <strong>The</strong> ending of this encounter wasvery well.

MEETING THE FUTUREWe took a flight course Southeast of Greenland direct toChule(sp?) where a U.S. military base ia by crossing the greaticy highland midwest of Greenland.<strong>The</strong> flight above Greenland, under a nearly full <strong>no</strong>on whichwas raising on the right front aide of our aircraft helpedvisibility for the night flight. <strong>The</strong> flight was smooth despitethe unstable air current that shook the plane for <strong>about</strong> twohours, but was still a rather stressless flight as compared to apassenger flight.We aimed towards Single Point, on the <strong>no</strong>rth coast of Canada,by passing through the Canadian <strong>no</strong>rth polar regions and downsouthwest along an Arctic flight course. It was 4:25 p.m. Alaskatime when we reported our location to Edmonton Center from aboveSingle Point, Canada (68 degrees 55 minutes the North Latitude,137 degrees 15 minutes West Longitude). It had become oitehdarkperhaps because the moon was directly behind us near thehorizon. We received an order from Edmonton Center that we shouldcontact the[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

Yukon and Jet 125 via Nenana, Talkeetna, Chaiger(sp?)» and to Anchorage.<strong>The</strong> Anchorage Center ordered us to flydirect to Talkeetna,provided us transponder codes and placed uson a radar scope at the same time. <strong>The</strong> strange phe<strong>no</strong>me<strong>no</strong>nhappened immediately 'after we began left rotation, following theorder of taking the direct flight course.<strong>The</strong>re was an unidentifiable light ahead of therotation. Weset the course toward Talkeetna and began level flight. <strong>The</strong>n wesaw lights that looked like aircraft lights, 30 degrees leftfront, 2,000 feet (600 meters) below us, moving exactly in thesame direction and with the same speed as we were. We were atthe altitude of 35,000 feet (10,600 meters), flying speed was900 kilometer per hour to 910 kilometer per hour.[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

We ig<strong>no</strong>red the lights, thinking probably they were specialmissioned aircrafts or two fighters because we did <strong>no</strong>t <strong>no</strong>tice thelights while communication (with the Anchorage Center?) or onprior visual inspection. However, the position of the lights had<strong>no</strong>t changed even after a few minutes and that called ourattention. <strong>The</strong> First Officer, Tameto(?), called the AnchorageCenter and asked to report to us if there were any aircraft otherthan ours in the area. <strong>The</strong> Anchorage Center told us that therewere <strong>no</strong> other aircraft in the North area. We immediatelyreported back that we were seeing aircraft lights. <strong>The</strong>y againreported that there was <strong>no</strong> military aircraft and the ground radardid <strong>no</strong>t show any aircraft but us. <strong>The</strong>y also asked us severaltimes if there were clouds near our altitudes. We saw thin andspotty clouds near the mountain below us, <strong>no</strong> clouds in mid-toupperair, and the air current was steady and conditions werequite pleasant. Perhaps the controllers were concerned that anincreased use of improved lazer beams using clouds was creatingmoving images.[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

We kept observing the lights below us in left front, thinking itwas ridiculous to have lazer beam testing at the end of a tundraarea. <strong>The</strong>n the two lights began to move in a manner differentfrom ordinary aircraft maneuvers, like two bear cubs playing witheach other. We continued the flight South along a straightcourse since the distance from the lights was far e<strong>no</strong>ugh from usand their movement was <strong>no</strong>t extreme and we felt <strong>no</strong> immediatedanger. I thought perhaps it is one of those things called <strong>UFO</strong>and taking a photo might help to identify the object later. Iasked to bring forward my camera bag that was placed in the rearof the cockpit and began to take a picture. <strong>The</strong> area in whichthe plane was flying was unchanged but the lights were stillmoving strangely. I had ASA 100 film in my camera, mainly totake scenery and had auto-focus on, aimed at the object but thelens kept adjusting and never could set a focus. I changed autofocusto manual-focus and pressed the shutter but this time theshutter would <strong>no</strong>t close. <strong>The</strong>n our aircraft started to vibrateand I gave up taking a photo. I placed my camera back in thecamera bag and concentrated on observing the lights.[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

9"It was <strong>about</strong> seven or so minutes • since we began pa/ingattention to the lights, moat unexpectedly two spaceships stoppedin front of our face, shooting off lights. <strong>The</strong> inside cockpitshined brightly and I felt warm in the face. Perhaps firing ofJets was the result to kill inertia of their quick high speedmaneuver, but the ships appeared as if they were stopped in oneplace in front of us. <strong>The</strong>n three to seven seconds later a firelike from Jet engines stopped and became a small circle of lightsas they began to fly in level flight at the same speed as wewere, showing numerous numbers of exhaust pipes. However, thecenter area of the ship where below an engine might be wasinvisible . <strong>The</strong> middle of the body of the ship sparked a<strong>no</strong>ccasionally stream of lights, like a charcoal fire, from rightto left and from left to right. Its shape was a square, flying500 feet to 1000 feet in front of us, very slightly higher inaltitude than us, its sice was <strong>about</strong> the same size as the body ofa DC -8 Jet, and with numerous exhaust pipes. <strong>The</strong> firing of theexhaust Jets varied, perhaps to maintain balance, some becamestronger than others and some became weaker than others, butseemed controlled automatically.We did <strong>no</strong>t feel threatened or in danger because thespaceship[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

It isimpossible for any man-made machine to make asudden appearancein front of a Jumbo jet that is flying 910 kilometers per hourand to move along in a formation paralleling our aircraft. <strong>The</strong>ships moved in formation for <strong>about</strong> three to five minutes, thentwo ships moved forward in a line, afain slightly higher inaltitude as we were, 40 degrees to our left. We did <strong>no</strong>t reportithis action to the Anchorage Center. Honestly, we were simplybreathtaken. <strong>The</strong> VHF communication, both in transmitting andreceiving were extremely difficult for ten or fifteen minuteswhile the little ships came close to us and often interfered withcommunication from the Anchorage Center; however,communicationconditions became just as good as soon as the ships left us.<strong>The</strong>re were <strong>no</strong> ab<strong>no</strong>rmalities in the equipment or the aircraft.have <strong>no</strong> idea why they came so close to us.<strong>The</strong>n again, there was a pale white flat light on thedirection where the ships flew away, moving in a line along with ius, in the same direction and same speed and in the same altitudeas we were.I'[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

"Pace 11"Again, we began communicating with the Anchorage Center. We &aidthat we could aee a light in the 10 o'clock position at the samealtitude and wondered if they could aee anything in their radar.<strong>The</strong> Anchorage Center replied that they see <strong>no</strong>thing in theirradar. I thought it would be impossible to find anything on anaircraft radar if a large ground radar did <strong>no</strong>t show anything butI judged the distance of the object visually and it was <strong>no</strong>t veryfar. I set the digital weather radar distance in 20 miles, radarangle to horizon. <strong>The</strong>re it was, on the screen, a large, green,and a round object had appeared in seven or eight miles (13kilometers to 15 kilometers) away, where the direction of theobject was. We reported to the Anchorage Center that our aircraftradar caught the object within seven or eight miles in 10 o'clockposition. We asked if they could catch it on the ground radarbut did <strong>no</strong>t seem they could at all. Normally it appears in redwhen an aircraft radar catches a<strong>no</strong>ther aircraft. I wonder if themetal used in the spaceship is different from ours. While wewere communicating with the Anchorage Center, the two pale whitelights gradually moved to the left aide and to left diagonallyback 30 degrees as if they understood our conversation and thenwhen they were beside our aircraft they totally disappeared fromour radar.[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

"Page 12*When they were in front of us, the ships were positionedslightly higher in altitude than we were, but <strong>no</strong>w they placedthemselves slightly below the horizon where it was most difficultfor us to see. <strong>The</strong> distance between us was still <strong>about</strong> sevenmiles to eight miles visually. When we started to see Ft. Yukondiagonally below us at the right, the sun was setting down in theSouthwest, painting the sky in a slightly red stripe,approximately two to three millimeters and gave a bit of lightbut the east side was still pitch dark. Far in front of us therewere lights increasing from the U.S. Military Eielson Air ForceBase and Fairbanks. <strong>The</strong> lights were still following us atexactly the same distance; however, it was too dark to identifyby only the lights whether or <strong>no</strong>t they were the same twospaceships that appeared in front of us a few minutes ago. Itseemed that we were flying in the lighter side and gave them theadvantage of being on the dark side. We had <strong>no</strong> fears so far butbegan to worry since we had <strong>no</strong> idea for their purpose. When thelights from the Eielson Air Force Base and Fairbanks became clearand bright, two very bright lights appeared suddenly from theNorth from a belt of lights, perhaps four or five mountains away.[Personal statement concerning JAL Flight 1628 sighting ofunidentified air traffic, Nov. 17, 1986.

-Page 13'<strong>The</strong> extremely bright lights reflected on a<strong>no</strong>w on the side ofthe mountains and seemed even brighter. We wondered if they weresearching something on the ground surface or to (attract?)leadsomething. <strong>The</strong> flight above Alaska territory is generally in thedaytime and it is confusing to identify the kind of lights.

It was a clear night. <strong>The</strong> lights were extremelybright to eyes that were used to the dark. Bow bright it was!We were Just above the bright city lights and we checked the palewhite light behind us. Alas! there was a silhouette of agigantic spaceship. We must run away quickly! "AnchorageCenter. This is JL 1628, requesting a change of course to right45 degrees" It felt like a long time before we receivedpermission.

It was too slow to circle in the auto-pilot mode; therefore,wo switched to the manual mode and set to turn right on a 30degrees bank. We looked to our right forward but did <strong>no</strong>t see anylight. We were relieved, thinking the object may have left usand returned to the level flight but when we checked to our rearthe object was still there in exactly the same place.

Beckner Seem to travel with you?T. Tamefuji Humm, I saw ah, light, just like landing lights, so ah, I'm pilotIt <strong>has</strong> landing light so, head-on traffic . . .P. Beckner Right.T. Tamefuji ... at that time, but ah, I can - I can<strong>no</strong>t say which directionthey move.P. Beckner Ckay, okay. This head-on traffic, how long did you see thistotal, the length of time that you saw it?T. Tamefuji Humm, hummP. Beckner Just you.T. Tamefuji Humm, five minutes at first inside and ah, five minute33 Captainand ATC call short conversation • . .10

Tamefuji (unintelligible) I don't mean ah, (unintelligible)P. Beckner OkayT. Tamefuji Ah, we can see the flying over aircraft ah, near thehorizon . . .P. Beckner OkayT. Tamefuji (unintelligible)P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji ... ao ...P. Beckner You saw this . . .T. Tamefuji ... I can<strong>no</strong>t say it was ah, (unintelligible)P. Beckner Okay, okay, urn somewhere down, I gueaa by Fairbanks area, youguys, the Captain or yourself requested a 360?T. Tamefuji Hnmm humP. Beckner Did you happen to see the object while in the 360?T. Tamefuji Humm, the pilot was right-hand . . .P. Beckner Right-hand turn, right?T. Tamefuji Humm, so I watch, what . . .12


P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji ... so I couldn't find what Captain saw.P. Beckner Okay, you were flying the aircraft then, is that correct?T. Tamefuji Ah, yesP. Beckner OkayT. Tamefuji But ah, urn, I saw (unintelligible) ah, Captain said ah, <strong>UFO</strong> big,quite big Captain said, and how should I say - so I tried doingthis. . .S.

Tamefuji Yes, and ah, some ah, pillar, window pillars . . .P. Beckner Ch, pillars?T. Tamefuji Yeahp.. BecknerOkayT. Tamefuji ... so ah, we* ah, I couldn't see well, but some hum, humthis - this is <strong>no</strong>t exact picture, but ah, like similiar likeaircraft is (unintelligible) . . .P. Beckner OkayT. Tamefuji I dark is background, but I - you can<strong>no</strong>t say it was <strong>UFO</strong> or <strong>no</strong>t.P. Beckner Okay, was it different then what you saw here?T. Tamefuji Completely different.P. Beckner Completely different, okay. But was it brighter, were thesebrighter, er . . .?T. Tamefuji . . . brighter ...P. Beckner <strong>The</strong>se are brighter?T. Tamefuji Yes, ah ...P. Beckner <strong>The</strong> first sighting was brighter?13


T. Tamefuji YesP. Beckner Ckay, the head-ons were brighter?T. Tamefuji Er, yesP. Beckner Ckay, urn - was there anything else on the radar that you wereable to see, or was that the only target that you had on theradar?T. Tamefuji Ch yes, and ah, I think ah, Captain tilt . . .P. Beckner Tilt rightT. Tamefuji . . . and ah, a certain tilt angle could catch the object . . .P. Beckner Okay, so, so was there anything else showing on the radar . . .T. Tamefuji Hummm . . .P. Beckner (unintelligible)T. Tamefuji . . . that should be something spot or ground-echo, ah, . . . ?P. Beckner (unintelligible) . . . okayT* Tamefuji . . . ah, I -I have many experience ah, ah, aircraft, echo orradar screen . . ., echo . . .P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji .• . . yeah, ah, so I could identify that Is ... ah aircraftecho ... I have many experiences before in checking oncomingalrcrafts on a radar.S. Himoto I experienced often in checking oncoming aircraft on radarbefore.T. Tamefuji Just like ah traffic.P. Beckner Okay ...T. Tamefuji . . . Just the right (unintelligible) . . . talking.P. Beckner . * . so what you saw was similiar to what you seen before, whenyou were picking up other traffic?T. Tamefuji YesP. Beckner Ckay, okay, urn, the lighting conditions, I talked <strong>about</strong> thelighting conditions outside. How 'bout the lighting conditionsinside the aircraft? Were there cockpit lights on ...


T. Tamefuji Hummra, <strong>no</strong> ...P. Beckner . . . and all that sort of stuff or ...T. Tamefuji . . . hummm. It was for night flights seeting.P. Beckner Right, okay.T. Tamefuji Bright, it looked bright . . .P. Beckner Not bright but . . .T. Taraefuji DimP. Beckner . . . dim, okay. Was there? Was there any attempt to - did youguys turn them down all the ways* or ...T. Tamefuji Hummmm . . .P. Beckner . . . what you saw outside couldn't have possibly, could havepossible been a reflection or something from inside the cockpit?T. Tamefuji Huounmm ...P. Beckner I'm Just, Just asking . . .T.

Beckner By the engineer table?T. Tamefuji Yes, I - when I saw, but ah, cockpit was ah, dark.P. Beckner Okay. Ah, what size would you estimate this - this object to be?T. Tamefuji Hunnmn, it la hard to say, but - ummm, I thought It was ah, ah, Ithought it was larger than ah, aircraft.S* Hlmoto What kinds of aircrafts?T. Tamefuji An originally oncoming aircraft . . .S* Hlmoto It feels like it's larger than <strong>no</strong>rmal airplane. Oncomingairplane . . .P. Beckner Okay. Okay* Ah, did you <strong>no</strong>tice any magnetic disturbances, ah,the compass . » •T. Tamefuji No ...P. Beckner .. . . suing or anything . . .T. Tamefuji . . . but ah, urn, I .think you have ATC tape of that time?P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji And controllers tape, ah, said that several times you'regarbling ...P. Beckner No ...T. Tamefuji . . . but ah, my English is so hee . . . how should I said thatreasoning ... I thought perhaps the air traffic controller did<strong>no</strong>t understand my English, so, he said 'garbling 1 .S. Hlmoto Ch, maybe Air Traffic Control did <strong>no</strong>t understand my English,so ...P. Beckner NoS. Hlmoto ... he was polite and said 'garbling*P. Beckner . . . said (unintelligible) government garble, okay.16


T. Tamefuji (unintelligible) but ah ...S. Mlmoto That's the way I thought ...P. Beckner Was that all the way, the whole length of the trip? He feltthat, er, er, was it just during this period of time when youwere working with . . .T. Tamefuji Oh yeah, humram . . .P. Beckner . . . when you were asking him <strong>about</strong> the other traffic?T. Tanefujl YesP. Beckner Okay. How 'bout later on in the flight? Did he ask you to sayagain, you're garbled, er . . .?T. Tamefuji No, <strong>no</strong> ...P. Beckner . . . okay, Just . . .T. Tamefuji . . . just ah, ah, from Pottat, Alaska til . . .P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji . . . and ah, radar contact with controllers, and ah, there was<strong>no</strong> garbling ...P. Beckner OkayT. Tamefuji . . . ah, at that time.P. Beckner And your initial contact was Center?T. Tamefuji YesP. Beckner OkayT. Tanefuji It clear after that moment.P. Beckner OkayT. Tamefuji (unintelligible)P. Beckner How 'bout navigation, did you <strong>no</strong>tice any navigation interference,ah . . . ?T. Tamefuji (unintelligible)P. Beckner ... I understand you're on I N S, so there, there is <strong>no</strong> problemthere, okay. Was there any turbulance, did the airplaneexperience any turbulance anytime you saw this, the objects?/17


T. Tanefuji (unintelligible)P. Beckner Ckay. How 'bout the autopilot, did - was it on autopilot?T. Tamefuji Yes?'. BecknerCkay, did the autopilot kick off?T. Tamefujl NoP. Beckner Er, it stayed on all the time?T. Tamefuji MoP. Beckner Okay. Urn, let me just read my <strong>no</strong>tes here and see if I have goteverything I needed to ask you <strong>about</strong>. You say that you hadsuggested to the Captain that you call Center and ask if they hadany targets?T. Tamefuji Hum . . .P. Beckner About how long after you first saw this did you go, b-beforeasking <strong>about</strong> calling Center?T. Tamefuji Hummm, hum •* at first in my mind . . .P. Beckner Right, yeahT. Tamefuji . . . and conversation so it was <strong>no</strong>t too long but, ah - hummm, Ican't say exactly but two or three minutes.P. Beckner Okay, okay. Urn - Was the Captain the first one to spot the ob -the ah, lights?T. Tamefuji <strong>The</strong> who?P. Beckner First saw the object?T* Tamefuji Hummm, I think ah, at the same time, almost.P. Beckner CkayT. Tamefuji But ah, it Is <strong>no</strong>t impossible to at same time . . .P. Beckner Right, but . . .T. Tamefuji (unintelligible)P. Beckner . . . but - but communicating, yeah.T. Tamefuji Humm, urn, <strong>no</strong>t so much different between . . .18


P. Beckner Ckay. So pretty much at the same time you both saw It?T. Tamefuji RightP. Beckner And at that time it was ten to eleven?T. Tamefuji Hummm t I thought.P. Beckner That's what I'm asking is what you thought?T. Tamefuji YeahP. Beckner Okay. Urn. Okay we discussed the ah, turn, the 360?T. Tamefuji Urn humP. Beckner I understand somewhere in the flight you guys also descended from3. 5, 0 to 3. 1, 0?T. Tamefuji YesP. Beckner Did - did the object stay with you at that point, or did thelights stay with you, or whatever?T. Tamefuji Humm, hum at that time . . .P. Beckner At that time did you still have them in sight?T. Tamefuji Yes, but ah, different.P. Beckner Urn humT. Tamefuji Ah, the object was different side the captain's side so I can<strong>no</strong>t • • •P. Beckner Okay you could <strong>no</strong>t see it, okay. So you actually saw it only for<strong>about</strong> five to ten minutes?T. Tamefuji ftjomrn, I think so.P. Beckner Ah, because I understand that the - the target was ah., <strong>no</strong>ttarget, but the item, object, lights, whatever, were in sight forupwards of around fifty minutes, total. That's what the Captainsaw, was <strong>about</strong> that length of time.T. Tamefuji Umm, urnP. Beckner And ah, but I understand that from where you were sitting youmight <strong>no</strong>t have been able to see it as long as he could have?T. Tamefuji YeahP. Beckner Especially during the turn?19


T. Tamefuji YeahP. Beckner Ckay, Were there any other ah - was there any other aircraft?Did you see any other aircraft during that particular flight?T. Tamefuji No ah, <strong>no</strong> other ATC ah, I mean ah, urn, as ...P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji . . . and ah ...P. Beckner You didn't see any other aircraft at all?T. Tamefuji In last part of the incident United Air . . .P. Beckner RightT* Tamefuji ... ah» from Anchorage.P. Beckner Hum* huhT. Tamefuji . . . And we can - what's that.- we could see . . .P. Beckner You could see (unintelligible)T. Tamefuji UnitedP. Beckner Okay you could see United . . .T. Tamefuji (unintelligible)P. Beckner Okay, did he - did United when you saw him was he flashing-hislights at you or anything* er Just <strong>no</strong>rmal nav lights, er . . .T. Tamefuji Humm . . .P. Beckner ... do you remember what . . .?T. Tamefuji Humm, remember, Just she passed my left-hand side . . .P. Beckner Hum huhT. Tamefuji . . . and ah, I can't say.P. Beckner Okay. Ckay ah, did the Intensity of these lights change, atall . . .T. Tamefuji Humm . . .P. Beckner ... or were they pretty much the same Intensity for the timethat you saw them?20


T. Tamefuji Hummm, was it a change of intensity? How should I say . . . ?On and off but became stronger ah, became weaker, becamestronger, became weake, different from the strobe lights.S. Himoto Some got stronger, and changed to weaker stronger again thenweaker, and stronger, weaker . . .P. Beckner Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, ah, you mentioned the lights thatyou've shown me here. This pattern that you've shown me here,the Captain <strong>has</strong> also, shown us also. But Just so I, make sure Iunderstand everything here, let me just show you ah, the detailsof what the Captain - and I don't k<strong>no</strong>w if you've seen these or<strong>no</strong>t, but you've . ..T. Tamefuji Hum, humP. Beckner This was In the newspaper here in Anchorage, for example. Andthis shows a slmiliar type pattern is what you have here . . .T. Tamefuji HummP. Beckner . . . but I Just wonder if you - you also may have seen this' particular ah, shape or ah, object?T. Tamefuji HummmP. Beckner And you can probably read what is - is written here so, justkinda read that over, and ... Do you remember seeing anythinglike that yourself?T. Tamefuji Humm, I don't see ah, anything like this, but ah, as I told . .P. Beckner Yeah, this ah ...T. Tamefuji . . . and you if, we can connect these lights - are - it will bea big object but, ah ...P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji I can <strong>no</strong>t just - there are some lights ahead or <strong>no</strong>t.P. Beckner Okay, that was during the turn . . .?T. Tamefuji No ah, I think it was before turn . . .P. Beckner Oh okayT. Tamefuji . . . and ah, we of course we convesed a lot and . . .S. Himoto We are talking, discussing . . .T. Tamefuji And while we were talking I saw it momentarily.21


S. Mimoto While conversation was going, I peeked out and momentarily I sawit.P. Beckner You saw this, okay. Urn, after the turn. Were you able to seeanything anymore, like this light pattern here?T. Tamefuji NoP. Beckner Ckay, er this - this pattern here?T. Tamefuji Hunan, <strong>no</strong>.P. Beckner Okay. And tha - so that was the last time you saw it, was priorto the turn • . .T. Tamefuji HummP. Beckner Ckay, okay. Well sir, that's all I can think to ask you. Isthere anything you'd like ta - to further add - and give us somemore understanding to what you folks saw up there?T. Taoefuju Humm, <strong>no</strong> well, I am certain that I saw something.3. Mimoto Well I'm - I'm sure I saw something.T. Tamefuji It was clear e<strong>no</strong>ugh to make me believe taht there was an oncomingaircraft.S* Himoto This is clearly e<strong>no</strong>ugh to make me believe it was an oncomingairplane.P. Beckner OkayT. Tamefuji That's the starting point of this story.3. Himoto That*s the beginning of this story.P. Beckner No the story, ah, (laughter). Okay urn, well that pretty muchconcludes the questions I have for you. And again I appreciateyou coming in. Especially on such.short <strong>no</strong>tice. And Sy Iappreciate you coming in also on such short <strong>no</strong>tice. So thank youvery much . . .T. Tamefuji And ah, can I ask one question?P. Beckner SureT. Tamefuji Ah, I read the <strong>FAA</strong> news human, ah, humm, I found military radarpicked up some kind of target on their radar, (unintelligible)What type of understanding?P. Beckner Umm, I*m <strong>no</strong>t sure what they seen on that radar, right at thepresent moment.22


T. Tamefuji Ah huhP. Beckner And urn, let me Just do this. I can find out and let you k<strong>no</strong>w.T. Tamefuji Arid ah f well Saturday ah t ah, TV interview from Mew York.P. Beckner Oh is that right.T. Tamefuji YeahP. Beckner OhT. Tamefuji And ah, the interview said military, some kind of commander Idon't remember ( but, ah, some military . . .P. Beckner Military - military ah, commander?T. Tamefuji Ah, how should I say, but some personnel from military said thiswas a weather interference.S* Mimoto . And this military commander said it was a weather interfere . . .interference.P. Beckner (unintelligible)T. Tamefuji Ah, on the radarS. Himoto On the radarP. Beckner Okay, that I - that I don't k<strong>no</strong>w, urn ...T. Tamefuji But ah, it was clear sky, so ...P. Beckner RightT. Tamefuji . . . there's <strong>no</strong> possibility of weather interference.P. Beckner On the weather, Interference, okay. Well I'll do this, I willfind out what the result of the analysis is on those. We'regoing to eventually get that anyway. And I'll let you k<strong>no</strong>w whatwe have. Okay? I have your phone number so I'll do that. Okay?T. Tamefuji Yes23


A JAL -flight engineer, Yoshio Tsukuba, was interviewed by Pet*Beckner of <strong>FAA</strong> on January 15, 1987, through an interpreter,Sayoko Mimoto, regarding to the UFQ which had been sighted on the17th of November, 1986, by Captain Terauchi.Beckner:Tsukuba:BeckneraMimoto:Describe what you saw.May I speak in Japanese?Oh! Yes, please.Oh! yes, please.Tsukuba: <strong>The</strong> f irst time I saw it was through the LI window, atthe 11 o'clock position. It looked larger thannavigation lights. I do <strong>no</strong>t remember exactly how manyo-f those (lights) were there but clusters of lightswere undulating.Beckner: What was the color o-f those lights, was it green?Tsukuba: I can <strong>no</strong>t describe the details but it was white oramber colored lights.Beckner: When you saw the abject was it obvious to you? Did you<strong>no</strong>tice it immediately?Tsukuba: Yes, it was. I <strong>no</strong>ticed it immediately.Beckner: Did it stay with you at position 11 o'clock? How longdid you see this object?TsukubaiBeckner:Yes, approximately 5 minutes, 10 minutes, I think I sawit for <strong>about</strong> 1O minutes after I sighted it the firsttime. <strong>The</strong> reason is because the Captain wanted to takepictures. His camera bag was placed behind his seat,beside mine, and I handed it to him. But h« could <strong>no</strong>ttake pictures, so I placed his camera bag beside myseat again. So I think it took <strong>about</strong> 10 minutes.Why could he <strong>no</strong>t take any pictures?Tsukuba: Well, his camera is Alpha 7,000, with film ASA 1OO. Hecould <strong>no</strong>t operate it well. I mean the operatingprocedure of the camera was <strong>no</strong>t understood well.Beckner:What kind of camera did he have?


Tsukubaa Alpha 7,OOO. It is made by Mi<strong>no</strong>ruta. I wanderwhat itis called in America.Beckner: Have you seen this kind of thing be-fore? Was this the•first time anything of this nature <strong>has</strong> happened to you?TsukubaiBecknersYes f this was the first time.Who first sighted the abject?Tsukubaa I do <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>w which person picked it up first. I wasmaking a landing data. <strong>The</strong> Captain told us to see ifthere is a some kind of object outside.BeckneriDid you see the radar?Tsukubai When the Captain told me to look, I could see theradar.Beckners Were you able to see it on radar? What did you see onthe radar?Tsukubaa Yes* a green dot like, <strong>no</strong>t exactly like a dot. It was<strong>no</strong>t a dot, but stream like, I think the range Mas <strong>about</strong>1C miles. I do <strong>no</strong>t think it (an the radar) Mas thesame lights as the one I saw in front of us.Beckner: How Mas the intensity of the lights? Did the intensityof the objects' lights change?Tsukubaa Basically the same. I can<strong>no</strong>t describe it. Not even inJapanese. <strong>The</strong> first one did <strong>no</strong>t change. <strong>The</strong> secondlight Mae very difficult to see. It Mas so vague.BeckneriWas any other target picked up an radar?Tsukubas I can<strong>no</strong>t remember. <strong>The</strong> tilt angle of the radar Masdifficult to see.Beckners Difficult to remember, on the radar, did you have tolook for the abject?Tsukubaa I identified immediately the one in front of us .Becknera At the time of sighting, how Mere the lightingconditions outside?


Tsukubas It was just at sunset at right -front of us. <strong>The</strong>re was. a stripe of red li<strong>no</strong> and almost dark, it was almostpitch dark behind us.Beckner:How was the lighting conditions inside the cockpit?Taukuba: We had night illumination at above sideways. I wasusing a spot light while calculating the data. I do<strong>no</strong>t remember whether the Captain had the lights turnedoff or <strong>no</strong>t. <strong>The</strong>re i s a switch that can turn the 1 i ghtto regular fluorescent or to dark. It was set to dark.Beckner: How long did you see the abject?Tsukuba: <strong>The</strong> one in -front of us, as I mentioned earlier, I sawit for <strong>about</strong> 10 minutes, then, the one on our left sideat 9 o'clock, together, a total of 3O minutes. <strong>The</strong>lights in front of us and the other one were of twoabsolutely different nature of lights.Beckner:Would you show us what they looked like on this paper?Tsukuba: <strong>The</strong> lights in front of us were clusters of lights likethis. I think they were made of two parts. How shouldI say this, but the lights were shaped like windows ofa passenger aircraft.Beckner:What was the shape of the object like?Tsukuba: I do <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>w. It was just lights. <strong>The</strong> one in frontof us was like an aircraft viewed from a<strong>no</strong>ther aircraftwhich was ours.Beckner:Did'the object move with your aircraft when you changeddirection or altitude?Tsukubaa When we saw the first one in front of us, we did <strong>no</strong>tchange the heading, but the second one, it was reallyhard to see, I had to try real hard to see it, so wechanged heading. I think the abject was with us whenw« changed altitude. When we changed altitude, I could<strong>no</strong>t see. <strong>The</strong> Captain said it was still there, so Ifelt like it was there.Beckner> Did you see a<strong>no</strong>ther aircraft?Tsukuba:Beckner:I saw United Air Line.Any other lighted, or unlighted objects?


TsukubasBeckneraWhen the United aircraft was passing by, we Mere seeingthe second lights.Did the intensity of lights change?Tsukuba: <strong>The</strong> -first lights I saw was unchanged until theydisappeared* <strong>The</strong> second one, it was so hard to see.In my mind, I am <strong>no</strong>t certain whether it was lights o-f adistant town or a strange abject.Beckner:TsukubaaBeckneraTsukuba:BecknersTsukubasWhat were the weather conditions?It was clear.Did you see any stars?I think there were stars* but...Any magnetic disturbance?No.Becknert Mere there any instrument fluctuations on your FlightEngineer's panel during the objects presence?TsukubaaBeckner:•TsukubaaBeckner:No, it didn't (there weren't).Do you wear glasses?No, I don't.Was there any re-flection on the inside of the glass?Tsukubai Reflection? What do you mean?Mimoto: Did you see any reflection of inside lights on theaircraft window glass?TsukubasNo. there was <strong>no</strong>t any*Backneri Would you like to add anything? Do you have anyquestions? We have come here and interviewed you alot. Is there anything we can answer regarding yourquestions?


Tsukubaa <strong>The</strong> points I would like to reinforce are that thelights in -front of us were different from town lights.I can <strong>no</strong>t describe the shape. I am <strong>no</strong>t as certain as Iam <strong>about</strong> the lights on the left side. I do <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>wwhat the shape of the objects was. So I am sure thatthe lights that were in front of us were different fromtown lights. When I was interviewed here at the firsttime by <strong>FAA</strong> personnel, I was <strong>no</strong>t sure whether theobject was an <strong>UFO</strong> or <strong>no</strong>t. My mind <strong>has</strong> <strong>no</strong>t changedsince then.Peter E. BecknerA.S.I.Sayoko D*. Mi motoInterpreter

Henley (HC) I am employed as an Air Traffic ControlSpecialist by the Federal Aviation Administration at the Anchorage Air RouteTraffic Control Center, Anchorage, Alaska.During the period of 2030 UTC, November 17, 1986, to 0430 UTC, November 18,1986 I was on duty in the Anchorage ARTCC. I was working the D15 positionfrom 0156 UTC, November 18, 1986 to 0230 UTC, November 18, 1986.At approximately 0225Z while monitoring JL1628 on Sector 15 radar, theaircraft requested traffic information. I advised <strong>no</strong> traffic in hisvicinity. <strong>The</strong> aircraft advised he had traffic 12 o'clock same altitude. Iasked JL1628 if he would like higher/lower altitude and the pilot replied,negative. I checked with ROCC to see if they had military traffic in the areaand to see if they had primary targets in the area. ROCC did have primarytarget in the same position JL1628 reported. Several times I had singleprimary returns where JL1628 reported traffic. JL1628 later requested a turnto heading 210°, I approved JL1628 to make deviations as necessary fortraffic. <strong>The</strong> traffic stayed with JL1628 through turns and decent in thevicinity of FAI I requested JL1628 to make a right 360° turn to see if hecould identify the aircraft, he lost contact momentarily, at which time Iobserved a primary target in the 6 o'clock position 5 miles, I then vectoredUA69 <strong>no</strong>rthbound to FAI from ANC with his approval to see if he could identifythe aircraft, he had contact with the JL1628 flight but reported <strong>no</strong> othertraffic, by this time J11628 had lost contact with the traffic. Also amilitary C-130 southbound to EDF from EIL advised he had plenty of fuel andwould take a look, I vectored him toward the flight and climbed him to FL240,he also had <strong>no</strong> contact.Note: I requested JL1628 to identify the type or markings of the aircraft.He could <strong>no</strong>t identify but reported white and yellow strobes. I requested theJL1628 to say flight conditions, he reported clear and <strong>no</strong> clouds.s,. \November 19, 1986

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATIONrCQCAAL AVIATION AOMINISTMATlQMMM THANIPOHTATION SCCUftlTVOn November 17, I responded to a call from the POC reference anincident involving unidentified air traffic (UAT) following JAL flight1628 into Anchorage. I asked Agent Hickle to meet me at AnchorageAirport.Upon arriving at ANC, I met Agent Mickle and Inspector Wright(FSDO-63) who had been at the aircraft. All three of us then procededto JAL operations to interview the crew. At JAL Operationswe met with Captain Terauchi, 1st Officer Tamefuji, and 2nd OfficerTsukuda along with Mr. Shimbashi, the JAL Operations Manager atAnchorage.<strong>The</strong> three crewnen stated that just after passing POTAT intersectioninbound to Anchorage on J529 they observed strange lightsahead of their B-747. <strong>The</strong>se lights changed position after 2 minutesbut remained in front of the A/C for a<strong>no</strong>ther 10 minutes, then movedto the left side of the A/C. <strong>The</strong>y stated that all they could seewere the lights and at <strong>no</strong> time could they see any craft. However,they did show an object on their VK radar at <strong>about</strong> 7 miles. <strong>The</strong>lights were yellow, amber, and green, but <strong>no</strong> red. <strong>The</strong> lights werein two separate sets which changed position relative to one a<strong>no</strong>ther.<strong>The</strong> crew said that they contacted APTOC confirmed that they also hadit on radar. Near Fairbanks, the crew executed a 360° turn and thelights stayed with them off of their left side. <strong>The</strong>y then precededto Anchorage.apd the lights were still visible until around 40 miles<strong>no</strong>rth of TKjTwhen they moved away to the east. <strong>The</strong> crew reportedtheir speed as 0.84 Mach and their altitude between FL390 and 310 asassigned along the route.<strong>The</strong> only problem <strong>no</strong>ted with their systems was some static in theVHF receiver. <strong>The</strong> Navigational system in use was INS with <strong>no</strong> apparentproblems.Upon completion of my discussion with the crew, I called CaptainStevens (Duty Officer to NQRAD) and asked if he had any question otherthan what I had asked. He said he had <strong>no</strong> other questions, but theyalso showed two targets on radar (one was JAL). He stated that theywould give all data to Intelligence in the morning.

Al«k* 99502-1088STATEMENT OF INTERVIEW WITH ALASKA AIRLINES CREWJanuary 29, 1987 at 1930 ASTAt approximately 1900 on January 29, 1987» I received a call fromAnchorage Center Manager, stating that Alaska Airlines Flight No. 53 hadreported to Anchorage Center that it had seen a target on their weatherradar and asked if the Center had any other aircraft operating in thearea. I informed the ARTCC Manager that I would interview the crew atAnchorage International Airport.I interviewed the crew at Alaska Airlines Operations on January 29, 1987at approximately 1930 AST. <strong>The</strong> crew stated that they had departed Nome,Alaska at 1800 enroute to Anchorge. <strong>The</strong> incident happened approximately60 miles west of McGrath, Alaska. <strong>The</strong> aircraft was operating on a headingof East at an altitude of 35 » 000 feet and an airspeed of Mach .73. <strong>The</strong>weather was clear and the visibility was unlimited. At approximately 1835AST the crew <strong>no</strong>ticed a return on the weather radar at their 12 o'clockposition and at a range of 25 miles. Both pilots stated that the targetwas strong and bright. <strong>The</strong>y both looked outside and could <strong>no</strong>t see anylights or targets. Looking back at the radar the target had movedapproximately 5 miles further ahead of them to approximately 30 miles.Each sweep of the radar (approximately 1 second) the target would move 5miles further ahead of them until it went off the radar scope at 50 miles.<strong>The</strong> captain stated that since the military was having "war games" in thearea that it was probably a USAF Aircraft going at a very high rate ofspeed. He then called Anchorage Center and asked the controller if therewas any reported aircraft in the area and reported what he had seen.<strong>The</strong> area is <strong>no</strong>t within radar coverage of the Anchorage ARTCC. <strong>The</strong>controller on duty checked with the USAF (Alaska Air Command) and was toldthe they did <strong>no</strong>t have aircraft operating in that area at that time.Richard 0.

INTERNATIONAL <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER•fc* \ £*<strong>The</strong> JAL incident: a special issue


<strong>The</strong> fantastic flight of JAL1628by Bruce MaccabeeBruce Maccabee, PhD., an optical physicist employed by the NavalSurface Weapons Laboratory, is one of the most respected figures inufology. A frequent contributor to IUR, he heads the Fund for <strong>UFO</strong>Research.In mid-October 1986 Capt. Kenju Terauchi was exdted to lear<strong>no</strong>f a special Japan Airlines flight from Paris to Anchorage and then toTokyo. It was to cany a cargo of French wine. <strong>The</strong>re would be anintermediate stop at Reykjavik, Iceland.When the flight began on November 16, he and two other JALflight crew members were passengers. <strong>The</strong> plane landed in Icelandand waited for good weather. <strong>The</strong> next day the plane took off withCapt. Terauchi and his crew of two. <strong>The</strong>y headed <strong>no</strong>rth. A brightmoon helped with visibility for the night flight over Greenland, but asthe plane continued over <strong>no</strong>rthern Canada the moon set behind them.When the plane reached a location called Shingle Point the sky aheadwas dark except for an afterglow of sunset in the west. <strong>The</strong> pia<strong>no</strong>reported its position to Edmonton Flight Control Center and continuedon across the Canada-Alaska border, where it made history.Although this wasn't a routine flight, it certainly was <strong>no</strong>tsupposed to be a newsworthy event. But something happened overAlaska which caught the attention of the world and for several days inlate December and early January 1987. Virtually every newspapercarried a story <strong>about</strong> what Capt. Terauchi and his crew saw overAlaska. This is the story of that sighting as told to the FederalAviation Administration by the crew members and flight controllerson the ground.Unidentifiable lightshad called the plane just <strong>about</strong> two minutes earlier, at 5:09:20< 4 - 1 ' (20seconds past 5:09 P.M.) to report the initial radar contact with theplane, which at that time was <strong>about</strong> 90 nautical miles (nm) <strong>no</strong>rtheastof Fort Yukon. (1 nm - 1.15 statute miles - 1.85 km.) <strong>The</strong> flightcontroller had asked the plane to head directly toward an air routereporting point called Talkeetna, after the small Alaskan town nearby(and <strong>no</strong>t far from Mount McKinley). w In doing so the plane wouldpass south of Fort Yukon and Anchorage. <strong>The</strong> copilot, who handledthe airplane communications, ack<strong>no</strong>wledged the AARTCC requestand then turned the plane to the left ("left rotation") <strong>about</strong> 15° to aheading of 215°. It was during this rum that Capt. Terauchi, sittingon the left side of the plane, first saw unidentifiable lights "ahead ofthe rotation."* 2 * (See Figure 1.)After the plane leveled out he observed "lights that looked likeaircraft lights, 30 degrees left front, 2,000 feet below us, movingexactly in the same direction and with the same speed as we were."At that time the plane was flying at <strong>about</strong> 525 k<strong>no</strong>ts (nautical milesper hour) ground speed (972 km/hr or <strong>about</strong> £05 mph) according tothe tracking dataP' Subsequently the speed decreased to <strong>about</strong> 500kts.It is important to <strong>no</strong>te the pilot's statement of his belief that thelight* were 2,000 feet below him. He could <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>w how far belowthe lights were just from his visual sighting. (To determine thedistance below he would have to k<strong>no</strong>w the exact depression angle andthe distance to the lights.) Nevertheless his statement indicates thathis sighting line to the lights had a <strong>no</strong>ticeable depression angle (thedepression angle is the angle below horizontal). At 35,000 feet thehorizon distance is <strong>about</strong> 214 nm so the depression angle to thehorizon is <strong>about</strong> 1.5°, which is hardly <strong>no</strong>ticeable. <strong>The</strong> pilot's statementtherefore implies that the lights appeared below his horizon,i.e., between himself and the ground, thus ruling out any astro<strong>no</strong>micalsource for the lights.<strong>The</strong> captain's initial reaction to the lights was to ig<strong>no</strong>re them"thinking probably they were special missioned aircraft* [sic] or twofighters,"**) probably military aircraft from one of the nearby AirForce bases (Eielson or Elmendorf). But "the position of the lightshad <strong>no</strong>t changed even after a few minutes and that called ourattention."* 3 ) <strong>The</strong> lights of these "two aircraft*" stayed at the left fora while and then the unbelievable happened.' 6 *It was <strong>about</strong> 11 minutes past five on the late after<strong>no</strong>on ofNovember 17 (local time), while Japan Airlines flight 1628 was highover the frozen <strong>no</strong>rtheastern part of Alaska, that Capt. Terauchi firstrealized that the lights to the left and below were unusual He had 'Traffic in front of us"first <strong>no</strong>ticed them <strong>about</strong> a minute earlier while his plane was turningto the left. After watching them for a short time he decided that theywere lights of "special missioned aircraft* or two fighters" on some ,,.mission. He decided to ig<strong>no</strong>re them. But "the position of the lights . t . . .. . . . . * r • . jrf-T it j JLt was <strong>about</strong> seven or so minutes since we began payinghad <strong>no</strong>t changed even after a few minutes and that called our e~ i-v -oattention." <strong>The</strong> lights appeared to be traveling along with his attention to the lights [when], most unexpectedly, two spaceshipsplane.< ii2)stopped in front of our face, shooting off lights. <strong>The</strong> inside cockpitAt that time the Boeing 747 freighter was operating on autopilot shined brightly and I felt warm in the face."and heading southwestward (a heading of <strong>about</strong> 215°) at an altitude What the captain saw suddenly appear ahead of him and to theof 35,000 feet.B> <strong>The</strong> sky to the right had the afterglow of sunset, but left is illustrated in Figure 2, which was drawn only a few hours afterahead and to the left it was very dark.the incident, f 71 He taw two pairs of nearly rectangular arrays of lights,<strong>The</strong> Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center (AARTCC) one pair above the other. <strong>The</strong> pilot believed that the "two aircrafts"I,4 INTERNATIONAL <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER M^O//X/ > WL/SW7


that he had seen previously at the left had "immediately," apparentlywithin a matter of seconds, moved from the far left to a locationnearly in front of his jet. In his written testimony Terauchi <strong>has</strong>speculated that the "spaceships" fired jets to "kill the inertia [actuallymomentum] of their high speed maneuver." After this maneuver,from the left of the plane to the front, "the ships appeared as if theywere stopped in one place in front of us. <strong>The</strong>n three to seven secondslater a fire like from jet engines stopped and became a small circle oflights as they began to fly in level flight at the same speed as we were,showing numerous numbers of exhaust pipes. However, the centerarea of the ship where below an engine might be was invisible.[From] the middle of the body of the ship sparked an occasionally[sic] stream of lights, like a charcoal fire, from right to left and fromleft to right. Its shape was square, flying 500 feet to 1,000 feet in frontof us, very slightly higher in altitude than us. Its size was <strong>about</strong> thesame size as the body of a DC-8 jet, and with numerous exhaustpipes."In retrospect the pilot speculates that the "firing of the exhaustjets varied, perhaps to maintain balance. Some became stronger tha<strong>no</strong>thers and some became weaker than others, but [they] seemedcontrolled automatically. "< a ) At the time of this startling appearancethe pilot "did <strong>no</strong>t feel threatened or in danger because the spaceshipmoved so suddenly. We probably would have felt more in danger andwould have been prepared to escape if the spaceships were shakingunsteadily or were unable to stop themselves." <strong>The</strong> pilot concludedthat he had been looking at something realty unusual because, in hiswords, "it is impossible for any man made machine to make a suddenappearance in front of a jumbo jet that is flying 910 kflometers perhour and to move along in a formation paralleling our aircraft."^After this sudden appearance in front of the jet the lights movedin formation with the jet for three to five minutes and then abruptlyrearranged their orientation from one above the other to side-by-side.(See Figure 3.)f><strong>The</strong> lights were like flames coming out of multiple rocketexhaust ports arranged in two rectangular arrays, according to thecaptain's drawings (Figures 2 and 3). He compared them to "outputexhaust" like the "Challenger [as it took off]." (1) He described thecolors as "amber and whitish." He stated that the "numerous lights"were "exhausts on the engines" which were "lined up all the way."(See Figures 2,3,4.) When "they were blasting recoil [the] jets[were] so strong that I could <strong>no</strong>t see [the individual lights and theirarrangement] because it was so bright." However, "once the recoilblast stopped the speed was absolutely steady, <strong>no</strong>t faster, <strong>no</strong>t slower,and I could see them [the individual lights or exhaust ports] veryclearly."* 1 ) Besides the lights of the "exhaust ports" the captain alsoreported seeing "sparks, like a fire when using gasoline or carbonfuel."<strong>The</strong> copilot, Taka<strong>no</strong>ri Tamefuji, compared the numerous lightsof flames to "Christmas assorted" lights with a "salmon" color. w Hesaid, "I remember red or orange, and a white landing light, just like alanding light. And weak green, ah, blinking." <strong>The</strong> intensity wasn'tconstant but rather it pulsated: "became stronger, became weaker,became stronger, became weaker, different from strobe lights" whichhave very quick bright flashes. <strong>The</strong> lights were "swinging" in unisonas if there were 'Very good formation flight...dose [formation]" oftwo aircraft flying side by side. He had <strong>no</strong> doubt that he was seeingsome sort of aerial object or objects just ahead and to the left of theairplane. He compared the clarity of the lights to seeing "night flightINTERNATIONAL <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER MARCH/APRIL 1987 5

It was clear e<strong>no</strong>ugh to make me believe thatthere was an oncoming aircraft."*** Of course, these "aircraft" were<strong>no</strong>t oncoming. Instead, they were matching exactly the speed of the747 jet.• According to the captain's drawing, the two rectangular arraysof lights associated with either of the "aircraft" were separated by anarrow rectangular dark area (see Figures 2,3,4). <strong>The</strong> copilot'sdrawing was similar.* 9 * <strong>The</strong> arrays were "swinging" or rocking to theleft and right as if they were rigidly bound together and rotatingback and forth <strong>about</strong> a central pivot point within the dark region/ 8 *<strong>The</strong> flight engineer, Yoshio Tsukuba, who was sitting behindthe copilot and thus had a poorer view of the lights than either thepilot or copilot, recalled that when he first saw them he was looking"through the LI window at the 11 o'clock position" (<strong>about</strong> 30° tothe left of straight ahead) and he saw "clusters of lights undulating."110 * <strong>The</strong> clusters were "made of two parts-shaped like windowsof an airplane" (i.e., arranged in square or rectangular dusters). Heemp<strong>has</strong>ized that "the lights in front of us were different from townlights." He described the colors as white or amber.Apparently having clusters of blinking, undulating and rotating("swinging") Lights nearly in front of their plane was too much for thecrew. After discussing the situation over the next 60 seconds or sothey decided to try to find out what was going on. Mr. Tamefuji, whowas the 'Voice" of the aircraft, called the AARTCC. It was <strong>no</strong>w<strong>about</strong> nine minutes since Capt. Terauchi had first <strong>no</strong>ticed Lights on"two aircrafts" at the left of his plane and it was probably only <strong>about</strong>a minute after the "spaceships" had abruptly appeared nearly in frontof the jet where they could be seen by the whole crew. At the time ofthe call the two "ships" were still traveling one above the other(Figure 2).Times listed below art minutes and seconds after 5:00 P.M.,Alaska Standard Time, November 17,1986. JAL1628 is the plane andAARTCC is Anchorage flight control.


ing that the "traffic" was higher than his aircraft.

No k<strong>no</strong>wn traffic identified.It should be <strong>no</strong>ted that in the above statement the reference toAlaskan Airlines Regional Operations Center should probably havebeen JAL ROC. Also, the Elmendorf (EOF) Regional OperationalControl Center (ROCC) was <strong>no</strong>t actually contacted until 5:23 P.M.After flying in a one-above-the-other orientation for severalminutes the "two ships" changed their relative positions. <strong>The</strong> captainrecalls, "the ships moved in formation for <strong>about</strong> three to five minutes[and] then the ships moved forward in a line, again slightly higher inaltitude as [sic] we were, 40 degrees to our left. We did <strong>no</strong>t reportthis action to the Anchorage Center. Honestly, we were simplybreathtaken." (See figure 3.)At some time while the arrays of lights were ahead and to theleft, Capt. Terauchi decided to take a picture of them. He askedTsukuba to get the camera. This incident helped Tsukuba later toremember how long the lights had been in front of the plane. Herecalled during the interview,* 10 ) "I think I saw it for <strong>about</strong> 10 minutesafter I sighted it the first time. <strong>The</strong> reason is because the captainwanted to take pictures. His camera bag was placed behind his seat,beside mine, and I handed it to him. But he could <strong>no</strong>t take pictures,so I placed his camera bag beside my seat again. So I think <strong>about</strong> 10minutes."When asked why the captain couldn't take pictures, Tsukubaresponded, "Well, his camera is Alpha 7,000, with film ASA 100. Hecould <strong>no</strong>t operate it welL I mean the operating procedure of thecamera was <strong>no</strong>t understood well."<strong>The</strong> captain recalls the attempt at photographing the lights asfollows:* 2 * "I thought perhaps it is one of those things called <strong>UFO</strong> andtaking a photo might help to identify the object later. I asked to bringforward my camera bag that was placed in the rear of the cockpit andbegan to take a picture. <strong>The</strong> area in which the plane was flying wasunchanged but the lights were still moving strangely. I had ASA 100film in my camera but the lens kept adjusting and never could set afocus. I changed auto-focus to manual-focus and pressed the shutterbut this time the shutter would <strong>no</strong>t close. <strong>The</strong>n our aircraft began tovibrate and I gave up taking a photo. I placed my camera back in thecamera bag and concentrated on observing the lights."After learning the color of the strobe lights, the AARTCC beganto ask <strong>about</strong> flying conditions ("<strong>no</strong>rmal") and clouds ("oclow us"). Ittook from 5:22:11 to 5:23:05, or <strong>about</strong> a minute, for the AARTCC toget an answer <strong>about</strong> the clouds because of interference with the radiotransmissions. At 5:22:41 the AARTCC told the plane the transmissionswere "garbled" and asked it to change transmitting frequencies.In his testimony the pilot recalled the several requests for cloud altitude:"<strong>The</strong>y also asked us several times if there were clouds near ouraltitudes [sic]. We saw thin and spotty clouds near the mountainbelow us, <strong>no</strong> clouds in mid-to-upper air, and the air current was quitesteady." (3) <strong>The</strong> repeated questions <strong>about</strong> clouds caused Terauchi towonder why the controller was so interested in clouds. He speculated,"Perhaps the controllers were concerned that an increased useof improved lazer [sic] beams using [illuminating] clouds was creatingmoving images."<strong>The</strong> pilot also remembered the communication problem: "<strong>The</strong>VHP communication(s), both in transmitting and receiving, wereextremely difficult for 10 to 15 minutes while the little ships cameclose to us and often interfered with communication from AnchorageINTERNATIONAL <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER MARCH/APRIL 1987 7

However, communication conditions became as (sic) good assoon as the ships left us. <strong>The</strong>re were <strong>no</strong> ab<strong>no</strong>rmalities in the equipmentor the aircraft.'^ When he was interviewed the captain wasasked to describe the type of interference he heard. He described theinterference as "some kind of, like, ah, jamming...it was just a <strong>no</strong>ise,sounded like zaa^aa"* 1 '. <strong>The</strong> communications capability, was he said,two out of five possible levels (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) with five being perfectlyclear/ 1 ' Normally communications with a plane in that area would beB ood -Radar contactplane and at the AARTCC.It was <strong>no</strong>w <strong>about</strong> 14 1/2 minutes since Capt. Terauchi had firstseen lights traveling along with his plane, <strong>about</strong> six to seven minutessince the lights had appeared abruptly in front of the plane, and onlya minute or so since the "ships" quickly moved away from the JALjet, apparently in the direction of the "flat pale white light"^ whichthe captain described as like "two white fluorescent-like lights."* 11 )His drawing^ (see Figure 5) indicates that the lights were horizontallyoriented and spaced apart, like two fluorescent tube lights with alarge dark gap between them. At this time in the flight he could onlysee the two white lights. He was <strong>no</strong>t sure whether the two "ships"had become pale white lights after they moved away from the jet, or ifthe white lights were something entirely different.

"^ This is to be expected since the forward-lookingweather radar does <strong>no</strong>t sweep left and right to angles larger than 90°.While the "mothership" lights were dropping back to the left andthe radar echo was going off the screen, the Air Force and theAARTCC were having their own radar detections. At 5:25:43, afterspending <strong>about</strong> two minutes looking, the ROCC radar controllerreported back to the AARTCC that he was getting some "surgeprimary return." By this he meant an occasional radar echo unaccompaniedby a transponder signal. (A transponder is a transmitter on anairplane which sends out a coded signal in response to a signal fromthe ground station.) <strong>The</strong> ROCC controller added, "I don't k<strong>no</strong>w ifFigure 4: <strong>The</strong> 'spaceships" as seen through cockpit windowit's erroneous or whatever, but..." <strong>The</strong> AARTCC responded:INTERNATIONAL <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER MARCH/APRIL 19S7 9

He may have meant southeast ofFort Yukon, since it was displayed on the radar screen. At this timethe plane was <strong>about</strong> 60 nm south southwest, relative to geographic<strong>no</strong>rth, of Fort Yukon. But with respect to magnetic <strong>no</strong>rth (which isused on air route maps), the plane was southeast of Fort Yukon.(<strong>The</strong> reason for this difference in direction is that in that area ofAlaska magnetic <strong>no</strong>rth <strong>has</strong> a deviation of <strong>about</strong> 30° clockwise fromtrue geographic <strong>no</strong>rth.)<strong>The</strong> conversation continued as follows:5:26:13 ROCC OK.

ROCCresponded (5:27:53), "OK. WeVe lost contact with it <strong>no</strong>w." <strong>The</strong>AARTCC controller then went on to say, "OK. We're <strong>no</strong>t workingthat aircraft [meaning the unk<strong>no</strong>wn target] in the... [unintelligible].,well, the aircraft [JAL1628] still <strong>has</strong> visual contact only he can'tidentify the [unk<strong>no</strong>wn] aircraft. He believes it <strong>has</strong> white and yellowstrobes." To this the ROCC controller responded (5:28:04), "OK.I'm still <strong>no</strong>t, I, we lost contact on him. I don't see him at all." I<strong>no</strong>ther words, there was <strong>no</strong> longer an unk<strong>no</strong>wn primary return on theROCC radar display.During this conversation the flight was continuing along astraight line heading of <strong>about</strong> 215° (southwestward) towardTalkeetna. <strong>The</strong> unusual lights were at the left side. <strong>The</strong> captainrecalled, "When they were in front of us they were position[ed]slightly higher in altitude than we were, but <strong>no</strong>w they placed themselvesslightly below the horizon where it was most difficult to see.<strong>The</strong> distance between us was still <strong>about</strong> seven miles to eight milesvisually." <strong>The</strong> airplane radar <strong>no</strong> longer showed a radar echo since thelights were too far to the left.* 75Many minutes earlier, when the sighting began (<strong>about</strong> 5:10 P.M.),Fort Yukon was at the right side of the plane. <strong>The</strong> captain recalledthe lighting conditions of the sky at the time: "When we started to seeFort Yukon diagonally below us at the right the sun was setting downin the Southwest, painting the sky in a slightly red stripe, approximatelytwo to three millimeters (at arms length?) and gave a bit oflight but the east was still pitch dark."A calculation of the angular elevation and azimuth of the sunshows that at the time of the sighting the sun was <strong>about</strong> 15° below thehorizon, from ground level, and was at an azimuth of <strong>about</strong> 270°, ordue west. This would place it below the horizon and <strong>about</strong> 55° to theright of straight ahead of the plane. Thus the astro<strong>no</strong>mical calculationshows that the captain was incorrect in referring to the sunset directionas "southwest" although. <strong>The</strong> calculation is, however,consistent with the claim of the captain and crew that the sun had setand that there was a thin reddish stripe just at the horizon to the rightof straight ahead.Under these conditions the sky to the left of the plane wouldhave been very dark, and stars would have been visible. <strong>The</strong> nearlyfull moon, which had lighted the sky while the plane was over Greenland,was <strong>no</strong>w well behind the plane at an azimuth of <strong>about</strong> 50° andan elevation of <strong>about</strong> 10°. Two planets were visible above the horizonin the southeast: Jupiter at an azimuth of <strong>about</strong> 140° and an elevatio<strong>no</strong>f somewhat more than 11° and Mars at <strong>about</strong> the same azimuthbut only several degrees above the horizon. Jupiter was quite brightand Mars was much dimmer than Jupiter. Jupiter and Mars were 70°to the left of straight ahead as the plane flew southwestward.By the time that the "small ships" had moved away from theaircraft and the ROCC had detected some "surge primary return"near the jet, the sun was several more degrees below the horizon, thesky in the southeast was darker and the plane was well south of FortYukon. <strong>The</strong> captain picks up the narrative: "Far in front of us therewere lights increasing from the U.S. Military Eielson Air Force Baseand Fairbanks." Each was <strong>about</strong> 40 miles away at this time. '<strong>The</strong>lights were still following us at exactly the same distance. However, itwas too dark to identify by only the lights whether or <strong>no</strong>t they werethe same spaceships that were flying in front of us a few minutes ago.It seemed that we were flying in the lighter side and gave them theadvantage of being on the dark side."That is, from the viewpoint of the supposed "mothership" theairplane was silhouetted against the light western sky, but the crew ofthe jet could <strong>no</strong>t see the outline of the "mothership" because it wassilhouetted against the dark sky in the southeast. <strong>The</strong> captain wasable to see only the faint lights from the "mothership."As the plane approached Eielson and Fairbanks, the captain saw"two very bright lights" appear "suddenly from the <strong>no</strong>rth...perhapsfour or five mountains away." He speculated at the time what thesemight be. He couldn't identify all the <strong>no</strong>rmal ground lights because"the flight above Alaska territory is generally in daytime and it isconfusing to identify the kind of lights" on the ground. He finallydecided that the lights were along the Alaska pipeline.Continuing his narrative, Capt. Terauchi recalled, "We arrived atthe sky above Eielson Air Force Base and Fairbanks." (Actually, atthis time, <strong>about</strong> 5:30 P.M., the plane was <strong>about</strong> 2p miles <strong>no</strong>rtheast ofEielson and <strong>about</strong> 30 miles east-<strong>no</strong>rtheast of Fairbanks.) "<strong>The</strong> lights[of the city] were extremely bright to eyes that v/cre used to the dark."(<strong>The</strong> cockpit lights had been turned off to eliminate window reflectionsof internal lights.) "We were just above the bright city lightsand we checked the pale white light behind us. Alas' <strong>The</strong>re was asilhouette of a gigantic spaceship. We must run away quickly.10 INTERNATIONAL <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER MARCH/APRIL 1987

At 5:31:08, <strong>about</strong> 50seconds after Tamefuji called for permission to turn, the plane beganto turn from its magnetic heading of 182( + /-1) degrees (<strong>about</strong> 215°with respect to geographic <strong>no</strong>rth). By 5:32:08 the plane had settledon its new heading of 222° magnetic (255° true), a turn of 40°, which isclose to the 45° that the captain recalled but less than the 60° turnrequested by Tamefuji.<strong>The</strong> captain's narrative continues after the right turn: "Wechecked our rear (and] there was still the ship following us. This isJAL1628. Again requesting for change course 45° to the right.' Wehad to get away from that object. 'JAL 1628. This is AnchorageCenter. We advise you, continue and take 360° turn.' 'JAL 1628,thank you. We will continue 360° tum." ta)Unfortunately the captain was <strong>no</strong>t entirely accurate in his recallof these apparently frightening events. <strong>The</strong> AARTCC transciptshows that there was <strong>no</strong> request for a second right turn. <strong>The</strong>re was,however, a request for a descent in altitude from 35,000 feet to 31,000feet at 5:32:07, followed by a request to turn to a heading of "two onezero," i.e., <strong>about</strong> a 12-degree turn to the left, at 5:34:56. Later on, at5:3637, the AARTCC controller asked the plane to make a 360° rightturn. But all of this is getting ahead of the storyBefore continuing let us consider what the captain may havemeant by his claim that he saw the "silhouette of a gigantic spaceship."<strong>The</strong> term silhouette is applied to a situation in whjch theobserver sees the outline of a relatively dark objea against a brightbackground, or vice versa. <strong>The</strong> location of the plane just before theturn was <strong>no</strong>rtheast of Eielson and roughly east of Fairbanks. East ofEielson there are <strong>no</strong> cities, just mountains. Looking behind and to theleft, then, the pilot was looking away from city lights. This wouldmean that anything in the sky at an altitude close to that of the planewould <strong>no</strong>t be silhouetted against a bright background unless themoon (on the horizon behind the plane) provided a bright e<strong>no</strong>ughsky. Perhaps this is what happened, in which case one could ask whythe captain hadn't seen the silhouette before. On the other hand, ifthe "gigantic spaceship" were below the horizon, it would <strong>no</strong>t besilhouetted against the sky and the moon would be of little help sinceit was so low on the horizon. Perhaps what the captain saw was areflection of the ground lights off the object and thus was able to seeits outline silhouetted against a dark background. At any rate, he gotthe impression that the objea was very big, in fact, much larger thanhis aircraft. He could still see the horizontal pale white lights but hecould also see other structure such as illustrated in Figure 5, madeseveral hours after the event, and Figure 8, which he drew <strong>about</strong> amonth and a half after the event.Just after the plane turned to the right the AARTCC controllercalled the Fairbanks Approach Radar controller to find out whetheror <strong>no</strong>t the short range radar had a target near the Japan Air jet. <strong>The</strong>approach radar reported <strong>no</strong> target other than JAL1628.Just after the right turn the plane was flying on a heading of<strong>about</strong> 255° (true) and was <strong>about</strong> 20 miles <strong>no</strong>rth of Eielson AFB and30 miles east of Fairbanks.

Bythe time of the left turn the altitude had decreased to <strong>about</strong> 33,000feet.<strong>The</strong> statement at 534:42 that the object was "over Fairbanks"could <strong>no</strong>t be correct if the object was at the left side of the planebecause at that time Fairbanks was still ahead and somewhat to theright (See Figures 1 and 7.)5:36:37 AARTCC JAL1628 heavy, sir, I'm gonna request youto make a right turn three six zero degrees, 360degree turn and advise me what your traffic doesthen.5:36:47 AU628 Right turn 360.<strong>The</strong> plane commenced the turn at <strong>about</strong> 5:37:15. <strong>The</strong> pilot, inhis testimony written a month and a half later, recalled these events,although his recall of a second right turn was in error and he incorrectlyplaced the altitude descent after the turn instead of before it.In the captain's testimony, commencing just after the wrong statement<strong>about</strong> a second right turn, he <strong>has</strong> written, "We had to get awayfrom that object. 'JAL1628. This is the Anchorage Center. We adviseyou, continue and take a 360-degree turn.' 'JAL1628, thank you. Wewfl] continue 360-degree turn.' It was too slow to circle in the autopilotmode; therefore we switched to the manual mode and set to turnright on a 30 degrees bank. We looked to our right forward but did<strong>no</strong>t see any light. We were relieved, thinking the object may have leftus and returned to the level flight, but when we checked to our rearthe object was still there in exactly the same place." (Following thesestatements in his testimony the captain <strong>has</strong> recalled the descent from35,000 to 31,000 feet, which he incorrectly placed after the turn. Actuallythe descent to 31,000 had been completed just before the turn.(See Figure 7.)While the plane began the turn the AARTCC conwnicatedwith the ROCC. At 537:23 the ROCC confirmed that <strong>no</strong> militaryaircraft were "working up there" and at 53730 that there was <strong>no</strong>"traffic" on the radar screen. AARTCC then called the plane again.By this time the plane had been turning for <strong>about</strong> a minute and a half.5:38:55 AARTCC JAL1628 heavy, sir, does your trafficappear to be staying with you?5:35:15 AARTCC JAL1628, say altitude of your traffic,5:35:20 JAL1628 Ah, oh, sa, ah, same levelA<strong>no</strong>ther minute passed by during which the AARTCC called theFairbanks approach radar again and once again the approach radarreported <strong>no</strong> target other than the JAL1628 itself. <strong>The</strong> copilot indicatedthat he wanted to resume his flight straight directly toTalkeetna.5:36:12 JAL1628 Ah, Anchorage Center, JAL1628.

Rgure 7: Flight track 0/ML1628<strong>The</strong> fact that it "disappeared" very soon after the plane startedthe turn indicates that the "mothership" did <strong>no</strong>t make a turn on theoutside of the turn of the plaj.c. On the other hand, the captain andcopilot recall that they looked out the right hand side to see if itwould reappear during the turn, but they did <strong>no</strong>t see it. <strong>The</strong>refore itmay have trailed the aircraft during the turn. But it did <strong>no</strong>t staydirectly behind the aircraft after the turn because the captain recalledthat after the turn had been completed and they were again headingsouthward "we" [the captain, since it was behind and to the leftwhere only he only he see it] checked to our rear and "the object wasstill there in exactly the same place."<strong>The</strong> <strong>conclusion</strong> that the object may have trailed behind duringthe turn is consistent with a radar report made at that time. Whilethe plane was turning, the ROCC confirmed an a<strong>no</strong>malous radartarget in the vicinity of the plane.

Negative.Capt. Terauchi's immediate reaction to the offer of militaryassistance was to decline it.

[underlining inthe original text] <strong>The</strong> Anchorage Center, this is JAL1628. We would<strong>no</strong>t request scramble.' We turned down the offer quickly.

No radar trafficabove.It was <strong>no</strong>w one minute since the AARTCC had directed theplane to fly directly to Talkeetna. At that time, 5:39:10, the plane was<strong>about</strong> 1/3 of the way around the circle (See Figure 7.) Finally at5:42:04 the plane responded. By this time the circle had been 3/4completed.5:44:07 AARTCC JAL1628, sir, do you still have the5:4204 JAL1628 Anchorage Center, Japan Air 1623.

At this pointin his testimony the captain recalled the direction to proceed directlyto Talkeetna. But he incorrectly remembered that the plane hadinitiated the request (the AARTCC initiated the request; see above).He continued, "We checked behind us again. <strong>The</strong> ship was in formationand ascending with us. We wondered and feared as to theirpurpose." <strong>The</strong> word ascending should have been descending (theplane never ascended during the sighting) and furthermore, it is in thewrong temporal location in the testimony because the descentoccurred before, <strong>no</strong>t after, the turn.His testimony continues at this point with his recollection of thequery <strong>about</strong> a scramble of a military aircraft. But according to thetranscript, the discussion of a scramble came before the planecompleted the turn rather than, as the captain recalled, after the turn.About a minute and a half later the AARTCC decided to findout whether or <strong>no</strong>t the traffic was still with the plane.5:44:13 AARTCC JAL1628 heavy. Do you still have thetraffic?5:42:16 JAL1628 Ah, pilot's discretion. Two Fivezero.

In sight, sameposition.This statement, made while the plane was just coming out of theturn to head southward (see Figure 7), indicates, as describedpreviously, that the "mothership" may have followed behind theplane. <strong>The</strong> captain remembers the events this way: "<strong>The</strong> consumptio<strong>no</strong>f fuel during this flight was almost as expected but there wasonly 3,800 pounds left and as such was <strong>no</strong>t e<strong>no</strong>ugh for extra flying for5:44:17 AARTCC Ah, affirmative, ah, nine o'clock.Capt.

At <strong>about</strong> 5:40 a United Airlines passenger jet tookoff from Anchorage and headed <strong>no</strong>rth to Fairbanks. Several minuteslater it reported being at 29,000 feet and on a 350 A D A o (magnetic)heading. <strong>The</strong> AARTCC controller decided to ask the UA pilot if hecould see anything behind the JAL flight. At 5:44:43 he called theUA pilot to say that the JAL flight was in his 11 o'clock position and110 run <strong>no</strong>rth "and he <strong>has</strong> traffic following him, sir. It's unk<strong>no</strong>wntraffic...! want you to see if you see anything with him." <strong>The</strong> UA pilotsaid he would look when he got closer. <strong>The</strong> controller asked the JALflight to stay at 31,000 feet and the UA flight to stay at 29,000 feet.He then directed the UA flight to turn some more so that the planeswould pass within five miles of one a<strong>no</strong>ther.5:46:48 AARTCC JAL1628 heavy.

Of course the 10-mile distance was only the pilot's guess.He could <strong>no</strong>t measure the distance because the airplane radar could<strong>no</strong>t "see" back that far. <strong>The</strong> United pilot asked the AARTCC tohave the JAL pilot flash the headlights on his aircraft so he couldlocate the plane. At 5:49:45 the JAL pilot did that. At this time theplanes were <strong>about</strong> 25 miles apart.Terauchi says: "About the same time [the time his plane headedtoward TaDceetna after the 360*0*0 turn] a United Airline passengeraircraft which left Anchorage to Fairbanks flew into the same air zoneand began communicating with Anchorage Center. We heard themtransmitting that there was an object near JL 1628 and requesting forconfirmation. We heard that the Anchorage center was saying to theUnited Airline aircraft that JL 1628 was at an altitude of 31,000 feet,and therefore, United Airline should maintain 33,000 feet. [Actuallythe transcript shows that UA altitude was 29,000 feet.] It sounded asif Anchorage Center had the United Airlines aircraft fly above thespaceship. We were flying the east side of Mount McKinley. <strong>The</strong>United Airline's aircraft came close to us. <strong>The</strong> United Airline aircraftrequested us to flash our landing lights for visual confiration and weboth confirmed our positions visually. <strong>The</strong> United Airlines aircraftwas coming close to us. We knew that they were watching us. Whenthe United plane came by our side, the spaceship disappearedsuddenly and there was <strong>no</strong>thing left but the light of moon."When the planes were <strong>about</strong> 12 miles apart and still approachingone a<strong>no</strong>ther, the UA plane reported seeing the JAL plane and<strong>no</strong>thing else. But by this time apparently the "mothership" haddisappeared.5:50:35 UA69 UA69 heavy. We've got the Japan Airlinerinsight. I don't see anybody around him.

JAL1628 heavy,say the position of your traffic <strong>no</strong>w.Considering Terauchi's later recollection that the objectdisappeared when the two planes got close to each other, it is interestingthat the copilot used the word "distinguishing" and followedthis with "I guess 12 o'clock below you." Previously he had used theword "distinguished" when he meant "extinguished" because theobject had disappeared shortly after the 360° turn began (see 5:38:57and 5:39:04 above). Apparently he meant "extinguishing" orextinguished at this time as well. Furthermore, if the object had beenstill visible he would <strong>no</strong>t have said "I guess 12 o'clock below you"because the captain would have been able to see where the object wasrelative to the UA jet. Thus it appears that the object/light had disappearedby this time.It is also interesting to <strong>no</strong>te that the copilot used the words"below you" which suggests that at the time of the flight crewmembers thought the UA plane was above their altitude. This is asthe Captain subsequently remembered it. Perhaps they did <strong>no</strong>t hearthe controller tell the UA plane to maintain 29,000 feet.At 2:5132, after the planes had passed one a<strong>no</strong>ther, the UAplane reported being able to see the JAL plane silhouetted againstthe sky. <strong>The</strong> captain could see the contrail as well as the plane but<strong>no</strong>thing else. <strong>The</strong> controller responded, "We got just a few primaryhits on the target and then, ah, we really haven't got a good track onhim ever," meaning that the radar never showed a continuous trackof primary-only radar targets associated with the unusual "traffic."After the UA plane had passed the JAL flight at a point <strong>about</strong>60 nm south of Fairbanks (see Figure 7 at time 5:50:52), theAARTCC requested that TOTEM also fly toward the JAL plane fora look. AARTCC then directed the JAL plane to descend and theplane reported on the "traffic."5:57:70 AARTCC JAL1628 heavy, descend at pilot discretion.Maintain flight level two five zero.

Terauchi and the crewof two. <strong>The</strong> captain stated that this was the first lime anything like this hadhappened to him. He slated that approximately five nm after passing theCanadian/Alaskan border at 35,000 feet something appeared five to seven nmin front of the aircraft. It had lights, four to five in a line [see drawings) andsaid it was bigger than they were [B-747]. At times the object would be to thecaptain's side of the aircraft [left]. Never the other side [right]. He referredto the dark side. After passing the Fairbanks area he requested to fly parallelto course and this was granted. When he turned to the right and flewparallel, the object was gone. [In all cases the weather radar was also used toidentify the object and the five-to-seven nm distance was taken from theradar display - 20 nm range.) <strong>The</strong>y returned to course and the captain said,<strong>The</strong>re it was, as if it was waiting for me." At approximately the Talkeetnaarea the object took off to the east and was gone. A United flight departedfrom Anchorage and was requested to check if they could see anything but itwas gone before United got there. Nothing different with the cargo exceptsome expensive wine. <strong>The</strong> captain and crew were shook-up but professional.James Deny interviewed the crew at JAL operations. Capt. Terauchi hadasked AARTCC if they were picking up two targets and was told 'just one.'<strong>The</strong> total time was approximately 55 minutes. A new crew took the flight onto Tokyo. Capt. Terauchi and the crew were to be in Anchorage for daysdays before any additional flights. James Deny requested that the tapes andany other information be saved.('O)<strong>The</strong> sparse amount of information contained in this initial reportindicates that Wright did <strong>no</strong>t carry out an extensive interview of thepilot and crew. It also indicates that he did <strong>no</strong>t learn exactly whathappened probably because of a combination of factors: (a) hisfailure to ask for a minute-by-minute history of the flight, (b)Terauchi's failure to recall events accurately and in the correct order,and (c) the communication problem (Japanese-to-English translation).<strong>The</strong> failure to get the complete and exact story during the firstinterview was, unfortunately, repeated in the next interview by SpecialFigure 9: Pilot's sketch of side and top views of a "spaceship."

pflot's subsequent testimony did <strong>no</strong>t come through in the initial interviews.Furthermore, the interviewers had somewhat divergentopinions on what the captain told them. Part of this problem mayhave been, literally, in the translation (from Japanese to English), butpart of the problem also is that different people react to and rememberdifferent elements of a story.It is unfortunate that the interviewers did <strong>no</strong>t think to taperecordthe conversations for later analysis but instead simply reliedupon their recollections and their brief <strong>no</strong>tes on what was said.Nevertheless, the basic core of the story is clearly expressed in theseearly interviews and thus they support the captain's subsequent moredetailed testimony, written <strong>about</strong> a month and a half later. Particularlysupportive of the Captain's later testimony were the drawingsmade during the interview with Deny and Mickle (Figures 2,3,5,6).<strong>The</strong>y show how the lights appeared at various times and how thetarget appeared on the radar scope. <strong>The</strong>se sketches, made only hoursafter the event, agree generally with the drawings that the captainmade a month and a half later to illustrate the to illustrate histestimonial report (see Figures 4,8-11). <strong>The</strong>se latter drawings werepublicized in the news media. Figure 12 is Terauchi's map of theflight path and locations of certain events.<strong>The</strong> air traffic controller who was responsible for guiding theJAL flight recorded his recollections the next day, evidently withoutfirst listening to the tape of AARTCC tape recording of the events:* 13 'During the period of 2030 UTC [universal time coordinated], November17,1986, to 0430 UTS, November 18,19861 was on duty in the AnchorageARTCC I was working the D15 position from 0156 UTC to 0230 UTC,November 18,1986. [This corresponds to 4:56 to 5:30 P.M. Alaska StandardTime, November 17,1986]. At approximately 022SZ [5:25 P.M.] whilemonitoring JL1628 on Sector 15 radar the aircraft requested traffic information.I advised <strong>no</strong> traffic in his vicinity. <strong>The</strong> aircraft advised he had traffic 12o'clock same altitude. I asked JL1628 if he would like higher/lower altitudeand the pilot replied negative. I checked with ROCC to see if they hadmilitary traffic in the area and to see if they had primary targets in the area.ROCC did have [a] primary target in the same position JL1628 reported.Several limes I had primary returns where JL1628 reported the traffic.JL1628 later requested a him to heading 210°. I approved JL1628 to makedeviations as necessary for traffic Hie traffic stayed with JL1628 throughturns and decent [sic].In the vicinity of Fairbanks I requested JL1628 to make a right 360°turn to see if he could identify the aircraft. He lost contact momentarily atwhich time I observed a primary target in the six o'clock position, five miles.I then vectored UA69 <strong>no</strong>rthbound to Fairbanks from Anchorage with hisapproval to see if he could identify the aircraft. He had contact with theJL1628 flight but reported <strong>no</strong> other traffic. By this time JL1628 had lostcontact with the traffic. Also a military C-130 southbound to Elmcndorf AFBfrom Eielson AFB advised he had plenty of fuel and would take a look. Ivectored him toward the flight and climbed him to Flight Level 240 [24,000feet]. He also had <strong>no</strong> contact.I requested JL1628 to identify the type or markings of the aircraft Hecould <strong>no</strong>t identify but reported white and yellow strobes. I requested theJL1628 to say flight conditions. He reported clear and <strong>no</strong> clouds. <strong>The</strong> phrase"single primary returns" [used above] is in reference to [a] target other thanJAL and "the traffic" is in reference to the unidentified object/ 10 )Although the Anchorage <strong>FAA</strong> alerted the the <strong>FAA</strong> SecurityOffice in Washington, D.C., <strong>no</strong> further action regarding the reportedtraffic was taken. This is unfortunate since a careful debriefing at thetime of the event possibly could have uncovered details which hadbeen forgotten by the time the crew was interviewed in January 1987.<strong>The</strong> <strong>FAA</strong> investigatesJLt is quite likely that the JAL sightings would never have beeninvestigated if it hadn't been for the interest by the Americannewsmedia afterword leaked out of Japan <strong>about</strong> the sighting. <strong>The</strong>first public mention of the sighting was in the Kyoda Press in Japa<strong>no</strong>n December 29. <strong>The</strong> news story was based on information from thecrew as well as the <strong>FAA</strong> in Anchorage.According to Public Information Officer Paul Steucke (in aninterview with Walter Andrus of M<strong>UFO</strong>N), "<strong>The</strong> first thing I got wasa phone call from Kyoda News Service out of Japan. That was theday before Christmas, December 24. <strong>The</strong>y sent a correspondent overand the correspondent said to me - you k<strong>no</strong>w that we've got someinformation on 'such and such.' Is it true? I said, well, yeah, andhere's what we've got. On the 29th after the Christmas holidays thatstory must have been printed somewhere in Japan because UnitedPress International picked it up. Japan picked it up. <strong>The</strong>n the UnitedPress reporter over here asked me the same question and I told himthe same thing."UPI reporter Jeff Berliner broke the story in the United Stateson December 29. Numerous newspapers reprinted the story and the<strong>FAA</strong> headquarters in Washington, D.C., learned <strong>about</strong> it from thepress reports including the January 1 report in the Washington Post.When <strong>FAA</strong> headquarters called Anchorage for the full story, itlearned that the radar data tape had been saved (which was unusualsince usually the radar tapes are reused within 30 days after a use).[On January 1 the <strong>FAA</strong> re-opened its inquiry. Capt. Terauchi wasinterviewed on January 2 (1), at which time he supplied his writtentestimony (2). On January 4 the national press reported that the<strong>FAA</strong> had re-opened the inquiry and numerous news stories followed.<strong>The</strong> <strong>FAA</strong> released portions of the information as it becameavailable through Mr. Steucke. Unfortunately the <strong>FAA</strong> did <strong>no</strong>t havea complete and accurate story to report and consequently the earlynews stories contained errors. <strong>The</strong> most amusing of these was in thereported time of the sightings. For some reason someone had handwrittena <strong>no</strong>te on the master copy of the first <strong>FAA</strong> release, which wasa summary of the AARTCC tape recording. <strong>The</strong> <strong>no</strong>te indicated thatthe events had begun at 6:19 P.M., even though the summary itselfclearly said 0219 UTC which translates to 5:19 P-M. Alaska standardtime. This time error was perpetuated in news reports even thoughthe captain recalled the correct time and stated it during an interviewwith Larry King on January 2,While the press was having fun with the story, the <strong>FAA</strong> continuedwith its inquiry. <strong>The</strong> copilot was interviewed on January 5 ro andthe flight engineer on January 15< 10 >. A complete transcript of theAARTCC tape recording, although with some time errors, wascompleted on January 9 and the radar data tape recording was sent toa special <strong>FAA</strong> facility for analysis. <strong>The</strong> <strong>FAA</strong> an<strong>no</strong>unced that it wouldrelease the material it had collected after it completed the inquiry.January went by and then February with still <strong>no</strong> word from the<strong>FAA</strong>. But then, on March 5, the <strong>FAA</strong> an<strong>no</strong>unced the results of theinquiry. According to the press release the <strong>FAA</strong> "was unable toconfirm the event." 14 <strong>The</strong> event was unconfirmed because "a secondradar target near the JAL flight at the time of the reported sightingU INTERNATIONAL <strong>UFO</strong> REPORTER MARCH/APRIL 1987

Terauchi's testimony shows that, a month and a half after the sighting,he recalled the individual events quite, but <strong>no</strong>t perfectly, accuratelyand that he confused the order of some of the events. <strong>The</strong> order ofthe events as presented in Terauchi's testimony <strong>has</strong> been modifiedsomewhat in this presentation to make them agree with the orderfound on the air traffic control tape. (Terauchi's testimony is takenfrom the English translation of the Japanese original as found in the<strong>FAA</strong> file on the JAL 1628 sightings.)(3) Flight path as reconstructed from the radar data packagesupplied by the <strong>FAA</strong> (<strong>FAA</strong> file on the JAL 1628 sighting).(4) Information obtained from the tape recording of the communicationsbetween the airplane and the Air Route Traffic Control Center(ARTCC) (<strong>FAA</strong> file on the JAL 1628 sighting).(5) Writing somewhat more than a month after the event, the pilotrecalled' 2 ) that the plane first communicated with Anchorage at 5:05P.M. He correctly recalled that the plane was asked to fly directly toTalkeetna and then take air route J-125 to Anchorage.(6) <strong>The</strong> order of events as presented here follows the order in theAARTCC transcript (ref. 11). <strong>The</strong> order of presentation in thecaptain's written testimony is somewhat different. It appears that heaccurately recalled most of the events which make up the totalsighting, but he did <strong>no</strong>t always present them in the proper order. Hispresentation seems to jump forward and back in time occasionally.<strong>The</strong> order of events as presented here seems, to this author at least,to be the most consistent with the testimony of the copilot and theflight engineer and with the AARTCC transcript. It should be <strong>no</strong>tedthat the lights were first seen by the captain in a location to the leftand below the plane where neither the copilot <strong>no</strong>r flight engineerwould be likely to look. Whether or <strong>no</strong>t the captain mentioned themat that time is <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>wn. But all three witnesses recalled seeing thelights remaining in front and somewhat to the left of the aircraft for anumber of minutes and then seeing the lights return to the left side asfar back as the nine o'clock position. After the lights dropped backfarther than that, only the pilot was easily able to see them because ofhis position on the left side of the plane. Thus the sighting wasbasically a single witness sighting at the beginning and the end and amultiple witness sighting in the middle.(7) Notes made by Special Agents Jack Wright, James Deny andRonald Mickle after the crew was interviewed just after the planelanded at Anchorage on November 17 (<strong>FAA</strong> Tile on the JAL 1628sighting).(8) Interview of Capt.

At one pointthe interviewer asked Tamefuji, referring to the arrays of lights aheadand to the left, "And you could distinguish these lights [sic] as beingdifferent from the star....?" Tamefuji's response is transcribed as"NNNooo ," which some might interpret as meaning that Tamefujicouldn't distinguish the lights from stars. But the interviewerimmediately continued "....from the stars?" to which Tamefuji replied,"Different is fine." Subsequently Tamefuji made it quite clear thatthe lights were very different from stars (<strong>FAA</strong> file on the JAL 1628sighting.)(10) Information found in the January 15,1987, interview of theflight engineer, Yoshio Tsukuba (<strong>FAA</strong> file on the JAL 1628 sighting).(11) Transcript of the conversations between the airplane and the310 . \ l-'H-l*T"B*-I- JFigure 12: Copt.

ALASKAN AIR COMMAND—PART 7Isolated Alaskan Radar ProvidesMissile Warning, Space Track DataCRAIG COVAULT/CLEAR AIR FORCE STATION. ALASKA'"Phe isolated U. S. Air Force ballistic1 missile early warning system site hereis providing a manned attack warning capabilityto back up missile warning spacecraft,and daily satellite tracking data toUSAF Space Command.<strong>The</strong> Clear AFS BMEWS site is underthe direct control of the North AmericanAerospace Defense Command and theUSAF Space Command, and is supportedby the Alaskan Air Command.<strong>The</strong> 11,000-acre Clear site is located onthe <strong>no</strong>rthwestern flank of the AlaskaRange, <strong>about</strong> 80 mi. southwest of Fairbanks.Considered an isolated duty station,it is operated by 450 personnel.<strong>The</strong> radar site is one of only a few facilitiesin the world where USAF and CanadianForces controllers sit and actuallywatch radar screens to assess any potentialballistic missile attack against NorthAmerica.<strong>The</strong> Clear radar data would help validatemissile attack data from other, moreautomated sources,, such as the USAF DefenseSupport Program's infrared missilewarning satellites in geosynchro<strong>no</strong>us orbit."<strong>The</strong> public wants a man in the loopfor confidence in warning against attack,instead of just having a computer saysomething is happening," Lt. Col. JamesC. Phillips, outgoing commander of the13th Missile Warning Sqdn. here, said."Clear provides that manned backup."Lt. Col. Timothy McMahon is takingover command of the site.While dear's three 106.ft.-taU. 400-ft.-wide antennas search for Soviet and Chineseballistic missiles, the most immediatethreat to the BMEWS facility here comesfrom reduced U. S. defense budgets andthe sites' aging equipment. <strong>The</strong> FederalElectric Services, Inc. (FSI) Div. of ITT,which manages the Clear site, recentlywon a new three-year contract for managementof the facility. A key element ofthe FSI proposal was implementation of anew manpower plan to reduce costs by $3million per year<strong>The</strong> cost-savings plan was important<strong>no</strong>t only for FSI's contract win overRaytheon, but also in helping to keep thesite open as a cost-effective operation, accordingto Alan G. Dion, FSI site manager.Several USAF officers said the Clearsite is an important element in U. S. strategicdeterrence, even though it is 25years old.Its radars throw beams deep into theUSSR. This extra element in warning capabilitydirectly deters an attack, officershere said.<strong>The</strong> facility went into operation in<strong>about</strong> 1962, along with similar BMEWSsites at Thule, Greenland, and Fylingdales,England. <strong>The</strong> Thule site was upgradedto a p<strong>has</strong>ed array radar severalyears ago, and the Fylingdales site is<strong>about</strong> to be upgraded.Depending upon future defense budgetand operational decisions involving armstreaties between the U. S. and SovietUnion, the Clear site could be given ap<strong>has</strong>ed array upgrade in <strong>about</strong> four years.<strong>The</strong> site functions like a small town,with its own coal-fired electrical powerplant and numerous recreational facilities.<strong>The</strong> manning is divided among 125 uniformedAir Force personnel, 75 civil servicepersonnel and 250 contractorpersonnel. Of these, <strong>about</strong> 80 mission-criticalpersonnel are on duty 24 hr. a dayand directly involved in ballistic missilewarning and space track observations.Clear's radars send a 2,500-3,000-mi.-long radar fence into the Soviet Unionand toward China.During a missile attack, tracking datafrom the site would show the latitude andlongitude from which a missile waslaunched, and also predict the U.

Since monitoring the USSR isa higher priority than monitoring China,the crew simulated commanding the dishantenna from its role of backup monitoringof China to backing up Sector-3 monitoringof the Soviet Union.<strong>The</strong> crew commander also simulatedcalling the NORAD missile warning centerto tell it thai a malfunction had occurredand what was being done <strong>about</strong> it.<strong>The</strong> crew simulated the clearing of interferenceoff their screens. S<strong>no</strong>wmobilesrunning in the area around the site willsometimes cause such interference, forcingsecurity police to ask the drivers ofthose vehicles to leave.After the malfunction training wascomplete, the team simulated a missile attack.A large group of radar targets beganmoving through the lower beams on fanscovering all three regions."Mass targets in No. 3 lower," the Sector-3controller, Senior Airman TenaBuffington called out. Within 5 sec., thetargets had disappeared.A few seconds later the same targetsappeared again in the upper beams of thefans and more targets appeared in theSector-2 lower fan. This indicated a multipleICBM raid from both China and theSoviet Union was under way, and the missileswere climbing out of the lower beaminto the upper beam in a trajectory towardthe U.

Jupiterand Mars fail all of these tests. In addition the pilot <strong>has</strong> more than 10,000 hoursas a pilot and <strong>has</strong> been flying polar routes for more than 2 years. To suggest thathe is unfamiliar with the planets in skies which are usually quite clear during longwinter nights is patently absurd.Perhaps even more reprehensible is the fact that the pilot speaks rather j>oor Englishand is <strong>no</strong>w stationed in Japan.!. Obviously he is <strong>no</strong>t in a good position to sue Philfor the libelous or slanderous accusations which amount to suggesting total incompetenceI would expect that Phil <strong>has</strong> <strong>no</strong>t talked to the crew with or without an interpreter.It seems strange that Dick Raines a scientist with considerable professional experienceconcerning perceptual skills spoke to the pilot through an interpreter with a PhD forthree hours and came away completely convinced that Jupiter and Mars could <strong>no</strong>t explainche case. It reminds me of Phil's investigation of the Roswell Incident. Despite theCact that Bill Moore and I have talked to 91 persons involved in the case, Phil <strong>has</strong>talked to <strong>no</strong>ne and yet claims he <strong>has</strong> explained it away!! It is <strong>no</strong> wonder I was ableto <strong>no</strong>te more than 20 mistakes in his treatment in his last book-fantasy. Despitepersistent claims on his part that <strong>no</strong> secrets can be kept from the Woodward-Bernsteinso£ Washington, DC , Press corps, he <strong>has</strong> still failed to provide a copy of even oneo£ the more than 150 documents <strong>about</strong> <strong>UFO</strong>s that the NSA states it is withholding oreven an unexpurgated version of the Top-Secret NSA affidavit! to a federal courtjudge justifying Non-release.Incidently the interest in <strong>UFO</strong>s certainly seems to be very high.

Feb. 20, 1987Dear Walter Andrus:How very sad that the passing years seem to have turned aonce gentle, and gentlemanly, person like yourself into someonewho is so very embittered and so very intolerant of viewsdifferent from his own.To the best of my recollection, I have <strong>no</strong>t levelled causticbarbs at you because of your belief in <strong>UFO</strong>s, either in myletters or in any of my book or articles.Nor have I levelled your repeated accusations of a "closedmind" on the issue of <strong>UFO</strong>s. I subscribe to and read <strong>The</strong> M<strong>UFO</strong>N<strong>UFO</strong> Journal and to the International <strong>UFO</strong> Reporter. Do yousubscribe to and read CSICOP's publication. <strong>The</strong> SkepticalInquirer?????I am delighted that M<strong>UFO</strong>N <strong>has</strong> seen fit to put out a pressrelease challenging my own analysis, for that is the modusoperandi of scientific methodolgy—challenge and counter-challengeon scientific controversies.Unlike you, I do <strong>no</strong>t reject dialogue with those whose viewson <strong>UFO</strong>s {or other issues) differ from my own, even if I doubtthat such dialogue will change their views. I enjoy having myviews challenged, for it forces me to re-examine them morecarefully.Finally, I shall study carefully your report on the JALincident when I receive my February issue of <strong>The</strong> M<strong>UFO</strong>N <strong>UFO</strong>Journal.Based on what you claim is a more thorough M<strong>UFO</strong>N investigation,I assume that your published account will include thefact that United Airlines Flight #69 was vectored to the vicinityof JAL but could see NO <strong>UFO</strong> despite the fact that JAL reportedthe <strong>UFO</strong> was directly in front of United. And that the USAF C-130flight crew also in the vicinity was unable to see the <strong>UFO</strong> thatJAL was reporting. Unlike Capt. Terauchi, surely M<strong>UFO</strong>N will NOT"forget" to include these all-important facts.With sincere hopes that your bitterness will subside andthat your tolerance for the rights of others to their own viewswill grow, I remain,

EXTRATERRESTRIAL OBJECT INVOLVED IN JAPAN AIR LINES PILOT'S <strong>UFO</strong>SIGHTING, ACCORDING TO LEADING <strong>UFO</strong> INVESTIGATORBuffalo, N.Y. /—/An investigation of the incident in whichan Unidentified Flying Object reportedly paced a Japan AirLines 747 enroute to Anchorage, Alaska, for nearly 40 minutes onNov. 1%, 1986, reveals that at least one extraterrestrial objectwas involved—the planet Jupiter, and possibly a<strong>no</strong>ther—Mars.<strong>The</strong> investigation was conducted by Philip J. Klass, aninternationally recognized skeptical <strong>UFO</strong>logist and chairman ofCSICOP's <strong>UFO</strong> Subcommittee. His investigations have yieldedprosaic explanations for many famous <strong>UFO</strong> cases during the past 20years.At the time the <strong>UFO</strong> incident began near Ft. Yukon, the JALairliner was flying south in twilight conditions so that anextremely bright Jupiter {-2.6 magnitude) would have beenvisible on the pilot's left-hand side, where he first reportedseeing the <strong>UFO</strong>, according to Klass. Jupiter was only 10 degreesabove the horizon, making it appear to the pilot to be at roughlyhis own 35,000 ft. altitude. Mars, slightly lower on thehorizon, was <strong>about</strong> 20 degrees to the right of Jupiter but <strong>no</strong>t asbright.Although the very bright Jupiter, and less bright Mars,had to be visible to JAL Capt. Kenjyu Terauchi, the pilot neveronce reported seeing either—only a <strong>UFO</strong> that he described asbeing a "white and yellow" light in his initial radio report toFederal Aviation Administration controllers at Anchorage.Many of the colorful details of the incident carried by thenews media, largely based on the six-week old recollections ofthe pilot of JAL Flight 1628, are contradicted by a transcript ofradio messages from the pilot to <strong>FAA</strong> controllers while theincident was in progress.For example, news media accounts quoting the 747 pilotsaid that when he executed a 360 deg. turn the <strong>UFO</strong> had followedhim around during the turn. But this claim is contrary to whatthe pilot told <strong>FAA</strong> controllers at the time.During the pilot's media interviews, he "remembered" somecolorful details which did <strong>no</strong>t really occur, judging fromhis earlier radio reports to the <strong>FAA</strong>, and Terauchi "forgot"several important events that would challenge his claim of beingpaced by an unk<strong>no</strong>wn craft.For example, that a<strong>no</strong>ther airliner. United Airlines Flight69, heading <strong>no</strong>rth from Anchorage to Fairbanks, had agreed todeviate slightly from its course to allow <strong>FAA</strong> radar controllersto vector it to the vicinity of the JAL 747, while maintaining


safe altitude and distance separation, to see if the United crewcould spot the <strong>UFO</strong>.At approximately 4:48 p.m., as the United flight neared JAL,Terauchi reported that the <strong>UFO</strong> was to his far left and <strong>about</strong> 10miles distant—which was in the direction of Jupiter. Atroughly 4:50 p.m., the United pilot reported he <strong>no</strong>w could see JALbut a short time later the United pilot said: "I don't seeanybody around him."Shortly afterwards, the JAL pilot reported that the <strong>UFO</strong> <strong>no</strong>wwas "just ahead of United" which is where Jupiter would appearto be from Terauchi's location. <strong>The</strong> United pilot would <strong>no</strong>t<strong>no</strong>tice Jupiter because it was to his right while his attentionwas focused on JAL which was to his far left.Shortly afterward, the pilot of a USAF C-130 transport inthe area volunteered to be vectored to the vicinity of the JALairliner to see if he could spot any object near the airliner.<strong>The</strong> C-130 crew readily spotted the JAL 747, but they too could<strong>no</strong>t see any object in its vicinity."This is <strong>no</strong>t the first time that an experienced pilot <strong>has</strong>mistaken a bright celestial body for a <strong>UFO</strong>, <strong>no</strong>r will it be thelast," Klass said. In one case, investigated by the late Dr. J.Allen Hynek in the early 1950s, a military pilot c<strong>has</strong>ed a "<strong>UFO</strong>"for more than 30 minutes, which turned out to be the bright starCapella. In this case, as with the recent Alaska incident, aradar operator reported briefly seeing an unk<strong>no</strong>wn blip on hisradar scope.During World War II, B-29 pilots flying at night from theMariana Islands in the Pacific to bomb Japan reported being pacedby a mysterious "ball-of-fire" which B-29 gunners tried, unsuccessfully,to shoot down. Some Army Air Corps intelligenceofficers suspected the object was a long-range Japanese aircraftequipped with a powerful searchlight, to illuminate the B-29s sothey could be attacked by fighter aircraft, but such attacksnever materialized. Finally, the mysterious glowing object thatseemed to pace the B-29s was identified. It was Venus, which wasparticularly bright at the time.More than 25% of all <strong>UFO</strong>s reported during a 15-month periodto the Center for <strong>UFO</strong> Studies (created in 1973 by Hynek) turnedout upon investigation to be a bright planet or star. Someeyewitnesses reported that the celestial <strong>UFO</strong> "darted up anddown," or "wiggled from side-to-side," and a variety of shapeswere described.In the Capt. Terauchi*s recollected account to the media sixweeks after the incident, he described seeing two small <strong>UFO</strong>s inaddition to a large one. But the transcript reveals that the


pilot only briefly reported seeing two lights, <strong>no</strong>t three, andthereafter he referred only to one in his radio communicationswith <strong>FAA</strong> controllers.News media accounts of the <strong>UFO</strong> incident stressed that oneunidentified object had been detected by a USAF radar in thevicinity of the 747's "blip", which seemed to confirm the pilot'svisual sighting. However, radars operating in mountai<strong>no</strong>us terrainsuch as that where the <strong>UFO</strong> incident occurred can receive spuriousechoes when radar energy bouncing off an aircraft is reflected asecond time from mountains and s<strong>no</strong>w-covered terrain.When the pilot first reported seeing the <strong>UFO</strong>, <strong>FAA</strong> trafficcontrollers—ever concerned over the risk of a mid-air collision-—requested that radar controllers in an Air Force RegionalOperations Command Center examine their displays to see if theycould spot an unk<strong>no</strong>wn intruder. A radar operator there spottedsomething, but was unsure whether it might be a spurious echo.However, the echo appeared only briefly and was behind the 747whereas the pilot had reported that the <strong>UFO</strong> was in front or tothe left of his aircraft.Later, as the JAL 747 came within range of an <strong>FAA</strong> radar atthe Fairbanks International Airport, a radar controller there wasasked if he could spot a<strong>no</strong>ther object in the vicinity of theairliner. Although the JAL pilot still was reporting a <strong>UFO</strong>, thecontroller replied that there were <strong>no</strong> unk<strong>no</strong>wn blips in thevicinity of JAL 1628.On Jan. 11, the Capt. Terauchi again reported seeinga <strong>UFO</strong> while flying in approximately the same part of Alaska. Butafter an <strong>FAA</strong> spokesman in Anchorage suggested that this <strong>UFO</strong>might only be lights from a distant village bouncing off clouds,the JAL pilot ack<strong>no</strong>wledged that this could explain his second <strong>UFO</strong>sighting.<strong>The</strong> transcript of radio communications during the Nov.18 incident indicates that there were broken clouds at or belowFlight 1628 f s altitude, which may help explain Capt. Terauchi f smistaking Jupiter for a <strong>UFO</strong>.Even a scientifically trained former Navy officer, whowould later become President, once mistook a bright planet for a<strong>UFO</strong>. <strong>The</strong> "victim" was Jimmy Carter and the incident occurred<strong>about</strong> 7:15 p.m. on Jan. 6, 1969, following his talk to the LionsClub of Leary, Ga. As Carter later recalled the incident, hespotted the <strong>UFO</strong> in the west at an elevation he estimated to be<strong>about</strong> 30 deg. An investigation conducted by Robert Sheaffer,vice-chairman of CSICOP's <strong>UFO</strong> Subcommittee, was complicated bythe fact that Carter had recalled an erroneous date for theincident. Once Sheaffer managed to determine the correct date, hefound that a brilliant planet Venus was to the west and <strong>about</strong> 25


deg. above the horizon, where Carter reported seeing the <strong>UFO</strong>.Klass credits astro<strong>no</strong>mers Nick Sanduleak and C.B. Stephenson,of Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, for theirvaluable assistance in computing the positions and bearings ofbright celestial bodies relative to the 747 airliner at the timeof the incident."My suspicions that this <strong>UFO</strong> might be a bright celestialbody were prompted by the fact that the pilot reported seeingthe object for more than 30 minutes," Klass said. "Past experience<strong>has</strong> shown that when a <strong>UFO</strong> remains visible for many minutes,it almost always proves to be a celestial object." A<strong>no</strong>ther cluewas the fact that when Flight 1628 descended 4,000 ft., the <strong>UFO</strong>still appeared to be at the airliner's altitude. At Jupiter'sgreat distance, a change of 4,000 ft. in aircraft altitude wouldproduce <strong>no</strong> <strong>no</strong>ticeable change in the planet's apparent altitude.Klass, who was a senior editor with Aviation Week & SpaceTech<strong>no</strong>logy magazine for nearly 35 years until his partial-retirementthis past June, as been investigating famous <strong>UFO</strong> cases as ahobby for more than 20 years. His most recent book on thesubject is "<strong>UFO</strong>s: <strong>The</strong> Public Deceived," published by PrometheusBooks, Buffalo, N.Y.— 30—

ANDRUS, |R.Telephone:International Director A Texas Non-Prof it Corporation (512) 379-9216NEWS RELEASEPlease Address Reply To:A professional astro<strong>no</strong>mer for the Mutual <strong>UFO</strong> Network <strong>has</strong> challengedthe explanation offered by Philip J. Klass, that Capt. TerauchiJapan Air Lines veteran pilot saw <strong>no</strong>thing more than the planet Jupiterand possibly Mars on the night of November 17, 1986 when the pilotreported to the F.A.A. the observation ofJ> <strong>UFO</strong>s over AlaskaMr. Klass' approach to "solving" some <strong>UFO</strong> sightings is highlyquestionable.He will select a prosaic natural phe<strong>no</strong>me<strong>no</strong>n and thengrossly exagerate both what the phe<strong>no</strong>me<strong>no</strong>n is capable of doing andwhat the witness imagined that it is doing.It can<strong>no</strong>t be argued that the planet Jupiter, coincidentallyshone in the approximate direction of the pilots initial sighting.And atmospheric effects can cause bright planets and stars to appearto move and change brightness, color and shape.Viewing planets fromany moving vehicle can also cause these celestial objects to shiftposition.However, Mr. Klass ig<strong>no</strong>red some crucial facts.Jupiter - orJupiter and Mars together (which were separated by <strong>about</strong> 19 degrees) -does <strong>no</strong>t in the slightest resemble the pilot's description of seeing2 cylinders flying parallel to each other, each arrayed with rows oflights and each rotating in an opposite direction.Nor does the third <strong>UFO</strong>s appearance fit the Jupiter hypothesis.<strong>The</strong> pilot at one time glimpsed this object as an oval silhouetteM<strong>UFO</strong>N <strong>UFO</strong> JOURNAL<strong>The</strong> Monthly Magazine of the Mutual <strong>UFO</strong> NetworkDEDICATED TO THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS


looking much like a walnut with a protruding rim containing lights,and with a band through the middle. <strong>The</strong> pilot obviously was impressedby something of immense size, something that may have appeared simultaneouslyon the aircraft's radar. If it is assumed that the blipwas <strong>no</strong>t a false weather target, planets do <strong>no</strong>t show up on radarscopes.Furthermore, if press reports are accurate, the large objecteventually dropped behind the plane far away from Jupiter's positionin the sky.And finally, planets do <strong>no</strong>t just disappear in a clear sky asthe <strong>UFO</strong>s were reported to have done.Perhaps worst of all, the planet explanation makes a liar out ofthe Japan Air Lines veteran pilot for over 20 years, who must havebeen aware of the bright planet or star visible from his cockpitnight after night last fall.Despite the pilot's apparently solid background and experience,his sighting may yet turn out to have some conventional explanation.But,in my opinion Captain Kenju Terauchi did <strong>no</strong>t mistake Jupiter and/or Mars for the 3 <strong>UFO</strong>s he said he had observed.It is quite remarkable that Philip Klass, in his publishedclaim, <strong>has</strong> contradicted or ig<strong>no</strong>red the testimony of Jim Derry, <strong>FAA</strong>Security Manager and Paul Steucke <strong>FAA</strong> spokesman in Alaska, who interviewedthe flight crew; Sam Rich, <strong>FAA</strong> controller on duty at the timeof the sighting; and the other two flight crew members of JAL 1628,First Officer Taka<strong>no</strong>ri Tamefuji and Flight Engineer Yoshio Tsukuda.Walter N.
