Tsukuba: It was just at sunset at right front of us. There was
a stripe of red line and almost dark, it was almost
pitch dark behind us.
Beckner: How was the lighting conditions inside the cockpit?
Tsukuba: We had night illumination at above sideways. I was
using a spot light while calculating the data. I do
not remember whether the Captain had the lights turned
off or not. There is a switch that can turn the light
to regular fluorescent or to dark. It was set to dark.
Beckner: How long did you see the object?
Tsukuba: The one in front of us, as I mentioned earlier, I saw
it for about 10 minutes, then, tha one on our left sida
at 9 o'clock, together, a total of 30 minutes. The
lights in front of us and the other one were of two
absolutely different nature of lights.
Beckner: Would you show us what they looked like on this paper?
Tsukuba: The lights in front of us were clusters of lights like
this. I think they were made of two parts. How should
I say this, but the lights were shaped like windows of
a passenger aircraft.
·aeckner: What was the shape of the object like?
Tsukuba: . I do not know. It was just lights. Tha one in front
of us was like an aircraft viewed from another aircraft
which was ours.
Beckner: Did-the object move with your aircraft when you changed
direction or altitude?
Tsukuba: When we saw the first one in front of us, we did not
change the heading, but the second one, it was really
hard to see, I had to try real hard to see it, so we
changed heading. I think the object was with us when
w• changed altitude. When we changed altitude, I could
not sea. The Captain said it was still there, so I
felt like it was there.
Beckner: Did you see another aircraft?
Tsukuba: I saw United Air Line.
Beckner: Any other lighted, or unlighted objects?
