“Unidentified flying objects have been reported over
the Chugach Mountains just east of here by a Northwest Orient Airline crew and
a radar approach controller at Anchorage
International Airport ,
reports Pat Fullerton of Anchorage
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Cliff
Cernick said Friday one of the controllers reported that on April 23 (1977) he
saw ‘four blips which gyrated on his radarscope in an unusual manner. The
controller, Terry Siegrest, saw the blips settle downwards, and then move
across the scope at a rapid rate of speed.’
Cernick says the airline also reported sighting an
unidentified flying object on that date.
It might have some natural explanation and I wouldn’t
overplay it,’ Cernick said. ‘I don’t want people to think the FAA sees little
green men.’
Siegrest told Fullerton
the objects first appeared about 30 miles from Anchorage
Harry Fluharty relieved Siegrest after the radar sightings.
He said a Northwest Orient pilot reported that he saw a single bright object at
60,000 feet
moving at a high rate of speed.
Fluharty quoted the pilot as saying, ‘I’ll probably be
sorry for reporting this, but I know what I saw and my whole crew saw it, too.’
