LACK OF "SCIElll'IFIC" INVESTIGATION
The Federal Aviation Administration has a number of employees who do
scientific research with regard to aircraft, aviation, and related electronic
equipment. The FAA does not have the resources or the Congressional mandate to
investigate sightings of unidentified flying objects.
We have not tried to determine what the crew of Japan Airlines flight 1628
saw based on scientific analysis of the stars, planets, magnetic fields, angle
of view, etc. We have received letters from several persons suggesting that we
ask the crew and others a variety of detailed questions from a scientific
viewpoint. This we have not done and do not intend to do. He reviewed the data
that was created by our systems, the interviews that were done by FAA to
determine the status of the crew and the aircraft, and have provided that
information to the public.
The FAA has completed its investigation of JAL flight 1628, and does not
intend to pursue it any further."
