UNIDENI'IFIED AIR TRAFFIC SIGHI'INGS, ALASKA
(1 ) An Alaska Airlines flight crew of a Boeing 737 aircraft, flight k~3,
enroute from Nome to Anchorage, Alaska, on January 29, 1987, reported to the
FAA Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center, the sighting of unidentified
air traffic on their onboard weather radar system. The incident occurred at
about 6:39 pm, 60 rr:iles west of the community of McGrath, which is
approximately 200 miles northwest of Anchorage. The aircraft was flying at
35 ,000 feet altitude at night, and the weather was clear.
Both pilots noticed the target on their weather radar scope and looked out
the window to see if there was any "traffic" in front of them. At no time did
either crewmember see anything outside the aircraft. The area is not within
radar coverage of the FAA and the military reported they did not have any
aircraft operating in the area at the time.
The flight crew of the Alaska Airlines passenger aircraft reported that the
target on their radar moved at a very high rate of speed, approximately 5 miles
on each sweep of the radar (5 miles per second). As the target moved off their
radar in front of them, they changed the range of their radar from 50 miles to
100 miles and saw the target briefly before it became lost in the ground
clutter created by the Alaska Range of mountains. The flight crew was
i nterviewed by FAA inspectors when they landed at Anchorage. The FAA has no
opinions or conclusions regarding the sighting.
(2 ) On January 11, 1987, at approximately 7:30 am (Sunday), Captain Kenjyu
Terauchi , piloting Japan Airlines flight #628, a Boeing 747 aircraft from
Iceland to Japan via Anchorage, Alaska, reported to the FAA Air Route Traffic
Control Center in Anchorage, that he was seeing a group of unusual lights in
f r ont of his aircraft.
