moved ao suddenly. We probably would have felt more in dangez
and would have been prepared to escape if the epaceships were
ehakin& unsteadily or were unable to atop themselves. It ie
impossible for any man-made machine to make a sudden appearance
in front of a jumbo jet that is flying 910 kilometers per hour
and to move along in a formation paralleling our aircraft. The
ships moved in formation for about three to five minutes, then
two ships moved forward in a line, aaain slightly hi&her i~
altitude as we were, 40 degrees to our left. We did not report
this action to the Anchorage Center. Honestly, we were simply·
breathtaken. The VHF communication, both in transmitting and
receivi~g were extremely difficult for ten or fifteen minutes
I
while the little ships came close to us and often interfered with
communication from the Anchorage Center; however, communication
conditions became just as good as soon as the ships left us.
There were no abnormalities in the equipment or the aircraft. I
have no idea why they came so close to us.
Then again, there was a pale white flat light on the
direction where the ships flew away, moving in a line along with
us, in the same direction and same speed and in the same altitude
as we were.
