When they were in front of us, the ships were positioned
slightly higher · in altitude than we were, but now they placed
themselves sli1htly below the horizon where it was most difficult
for us to see. The distance between us was still about seven
miles to eight miles visually. When we started to see Ft. Yukon
diagonally below us at the ri1ht, the sun was setting down in the
Southwest, painting the sky in a slightly red stripe,
approximately two to three millimeters and gave a bit of li1ht
but the east side was still pitch dark. Far in front of us there :
were lights increasing from the U.S. Military Eielson Air Force
Base and Fairbanks. The lights were still following us at
exactly the same distance; however, it was too dark to identify
by only the lights whether or not they were the same two
spaceships that appeared in front of us a few minutes ago. It
seemed that we were flying in the lighter aide and gave them the
advantage of being on the dark side. We had no fears so far but
began to worry since we had no idea for their purpose. When the
lights from the Eielson . Air Force Base and Fairbanks became clear
and bri1ht, two very bright lights appeared suddenly from the
North from a belt of lights, perhaps four or five mountains away.
