Quote from the UFO report:
“This is currently an 8-page chronology of UFO incidents and events for 1987. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to Richard Hall (the original 1987 chronology from UFOE II), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), and Jean Waskiewicz (online NICAP DBase [NSID]. You will note the many foreign reports that we are now being able to access. Our special thanks to Dan Wilson for getting those to us. As more come in, this page will be updated. Previous chronologies (1947 to 1969) involved the expertise of two other team members: Rebecca Wise (Project Blue Book Archive) and Brad Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Bob Gribble’s entries are those filed with the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington, now operated by Peter Davenport. Trace cases are now being entered with the help of Ted Phillips, Center for Physical Trace Research and retrofitted into previous chronologies as time permits.

Jan. 30, 1987; Alaska
A U.S. Air Force KC-135 airplane flew inbound from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska to Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. At 20,000 feet the airplane crew sighted a very large disk-shaped UFO that was similar to the one encountered by the JAL Flight 1628. The UFO moved to within 13 metres (40 feet) of the KC-135. And as can be determined by the U.S. Air Force Pilot’s question 5:29 minutes into the video, it's apparent that he has been briefed about the JAL Flight 1628’s UFO encounter. The answer by the FAA official was also very interesting. He said, ‘It’s very rare seeing the lights (UFOs) up there’. He thereby admitted that UFOs were seen from time to time, albeit rarely! And the silly notion that the U.S. Government (here the FAA) is not investigating UFO sightings or is not interested in UFOs, can once and for all be ruled out by listening to the message the U.S. Air Force Captain received from the FAA (5:42 minutes into the video). The FAA message to the U.S. Air Force Captain said, ‘Call the local FAA office in Anchorage after you have landed at Eielson Air Force Base’. Then the Captain asked, ‘That’s concerning the object we were looking at?’ ‘Affirmative’, answered the Eielson Air Force Base official.”


Wikipedia article: “Eielson Air Force Base”:


Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Eielson Air Force Base (AFB) (IATA: EIL, ICAO: PAEI, FAA LID: EIL) is a United States Air Force base located approximately 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska and just southeast of Moose Creek, Alaska. It was established in 1943 as Mile 26 Satellite Field and taken off deployment in 2007. It has been a Superfund site since 1989.

Its host unit is the 354th Fighter Wing (354 FW) assigned to the Eleventh Air Force of the Pacific Air Forces. The 354 FW’s primary mission is to support Red Flag – Alaska, a series of Pacific Air Forces commander–directed field training exercises for U.S. Forces, joint offensive counter-air, interdiction, close-air support, and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment. These exercises are conducted on the Joint Pacific Alaskan Range complex with air operations flown out of the two bases.”

Wikipedia article: “Elmendorf Air Force Base”:


Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Elmendorf Air Force Base (IATA: EDF, ICAO: PAED, FAA LID: EDF) is a United States military facility in Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska. Originally known as Elmendorf Field, it became Elmendorf Air Force Base after World War II, and in 2010 it merged with nearby Fort Richardson to form Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.”

UFO case report:
“Subject: Close Encounter With Hexagon at Corydon, IN,
April 1987”

31 October 1987
(NICAP.org)

Francis Ridge reports on a UFO incident that occurred at a corn and soybean field two miles east of Corydon, Indiana, alongside S.R. 62 in late April 1987.

Ridge also presents a 10 June 1987 Corydon Democrat news article that reported on the UFO case.

The whole Corydon Democrat article:
“Paul Hauswald, 14, was working in a field about 10:30 PM four weeks ago, when he suddenly realized, ‘I could see where I was going with no trouble. I could see the spreader and everything.’

He looked up to see lights——blue, white and orange—— hovering above his tractor. The lights followed him up and down the last couple of rows as he spread manure on a corn and soybean field two miles east of Corydon alongside S.R. 62. He didn’t stop to stare or turn off the tractor. ‘I just wanted to get done and get out of there.’

‘Yeah, I was scared. Then, just... whoosh and it was gone.’

He drove the tractor back to his father’s barn, a trip that took less than 5-minutes, and began the task of refilling the spreader, about 15-rninutes later, while still in the barn, he saw a saucer-shaped object with different colored lights fly over the silo.

‘It was all white on the bottom. It had five sides and was bigger than a house. It hovered at about 1,000 feet.’ ”

According to Jim Delehanty’s UFO sighting report, Paul Hauswald’s 11-year-old brother, Chris, also witnessed the UFO incident. In his report, Delehanty writes that the UFO appeared to be flying at an altitude of  100 feet (as opposed to 1,000 feet as the Corydon Democrat reported).
