JAL Flight 1628 encountered one very large, disk shaped UFO and two small, rectangular shaped UFOs over Alaska, on this flight from Paris to Tokyo. Captain Kenju (or Kenji) Terauchi described the large UFO as being twice as large as an aircraft carrier.
In this case, we see that a U.S. government official again has brought forth solid, official UFO evidence. The man who must be thanked for that is John Callahan, who was then the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Division Chief of the Office of Accident, Investigation and Prevention.
John Callahan also relates (1:27 minutes into the below interview video) that JAL Captain Kenju Terauchi talked to a U.S. Air Force official on an aircraft that also picked up the UFO on radar during the duration of this JAL UFOs encounter. Later in the same video Callahan tells us that the FAA Administrator Admiral Donald D. Engen had set up a briefing and told Callahan to bring all the evidence he had. There Callahan met with three officials from the CIA, three from the FBI and three from President Ronald Reagan’s Scientific Study Team. And all of them were excited, according to Callahan!
Once again, we see that the U.S. Air Force (Military) and the U.S. Intelligence community are involved in a solid, bona fide UFO case.
The UFO incident occurred on 17 November 1986, at 5:19 p.m. (18 November, at 2:19 UTC), according to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) document (files.afu.se).
