The Captain requested tile Center to record his description: "Ah, would you
please, ah, record my vo ice, ah, ah, ah •.. this is Japanese. Futeikina raito ga
mieteriru. Choodo ookina kuroi ka tamari ga mae ni iru. Kyorinishite go nrairu.
Dooyara uchuusen no moyoo." English translation: "We see irregular pulsating
lights just there is a large black chunk just in front of us distance is five
miles it seems to be a spaceship. Ah, it likes, ah, UFO, please, ah, check on
your radar. Over."
The cargo aircraft was about 240 nautical miles north of Nenana, Alaska, at
37 ,000 feet elevation. The weather was clear with a temperature inversion
reported at 23,500 feet.
Captain Terauchi reported the lights appeared in front of the aircraft,
about 2,000 feet below, moved below the aircraft, and then disappeared behind
the aircraft. The phenomenon then occurred again at approximately 151 nautical
miles north of Nenana.
It was noted at the FAA interview of the flight crew, which was conducted
when they landed at Anchorage, that the aircraft flight path was north of and
directly over the town of Arctic Village, Alaska, at the time of the first
sighting and 45 nautical miles northwest and west of the village of Fort Yukon
during the second sighting.
Captain Terauchi said at the FAA interview that he thought the unusual
lights he saw were those village lights that had been obscured or changed by
ice crystals present in the atmosphere (the temperature inversion). The FAA has
concluded its inquiry into this report and agrees with the Captain that the
phenomena was most likely caused by ice crystals created by the reported
temperature inversion.
(3) The crew of a Flying Tigers Flight #73, Boeing 747, cargo aircraft,
flying at 37,000 feet, reported observing a "target" heading 320 degrees as it
approached Anchorage on November 21, 1985. The Air Force was unable to confirm
the sighting. This sighting was not investigated by the FAA and there is no
file or retrievable data.
Steucke said, "The FAA is not in the UFO business and is not interested in
reports that do not involve aircraft or the air traffic control system."
