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

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 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
