K. Terauchi Yeah, yeah, yeah.
R. Gordon Okay
S. Mimoto Was it's sound like speaking in German, or just jamming noise?
K. Terauchi It was just noise, sounded zaa, zaa
R. Gordon Oh just noise ••. Okay, okay I misunderstood you, I'm glad you
brought that out.
K. Terauchi Normally when you can hear clearly it is digital 5. 5, 4, 3, 2,
1 - but it was about 2.
F. Fujii You know five by five radio communication
R. Gordon Oh yeah uh hu, okay sure
F. Fujii It was like two
R. Gordon Okay okay, like two
K. Terauchi Sometimes missing, sometimes missing.
R. Gordon Like, almost like, ah, background noise?
K. Terauchi Yes, yes.
R. Gordon Okay, and then when it, when the little small lights departed the
noise 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 Okay
R. Gordon What was there any question?
F. Fujii Did you see any reflection on the glass (window)?
R. Gordon Inside the cockpit, was it dark, all the light off inside the
cockpit?
K. Terauchi Oh ah, dark yeah, yeah, yeah.
K. Terauchi Therefore, there was not reflection of inside. No reflection
from inside. So when I took the camera bag, finding the object,
all the lights were turned off, made room dark - cargo room and
passenger room, there was nothing to reflect.
F. Fujii We have ah, on a cargo plane we have a back lounge.
