30 December 1986
(The Milwaukee Journal, Wisconsin)
The article reports on the 17
November 1986 Japan Airlines (JAL) Flight 1628
UFO incident over North East Alaska.
Quote from the article:
“FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) spokesman Paul Steucke said there
was no other air traffic along the same little-traveled route that night. Steucke
also noted that the FAA’s electronically recorded radar data did not support the
UFO sighting.
But the existence of an unidentified
object was confirmed by a report from the flight controller in charge of JAL
1628. Steucke said the controller, who was not named, had two years’
experience.
During the flight, the controller
asked Terauchi to identify the craft and then wrote, ‘He could not identify but
reported white and yellow strobes.’ The lighting was not a normal aircraft marking
pattern, the crew said.
In his one page report, the
controller said he repeatedly saw another object on radar staying near the JAL
jet despite FAA-approved turns and altitude changes. The object was as close as
5 miles ,
the controller wrote.”
