When he first saw them, Japanese Airlines officer Kenju Terauchi, who was
|
|
piloting a Boeing 747 cargo plane, thought they were lights from a military
|
|
aircraft. He soon learned otherwise. During the next half hour he and his crew
|
|
realized that things of a decidedly unearthly character had joined them in
|
|
the skies over Alaska. It was November 17, 1986, at 5:10 in the afternoon.
|
|
|
|
The pilot, first officer, and flight engineer saw two lighted structures,
|
|
"about the same size as the body of a DC-8 jet" in Terauchi's words, moving
|
|
about 1,000 feet in front of the cargo craft. Terauchi's radio communications
|
|
to Anchorage flight control were strangely garbled, but enough got through
|
|
that Anchorage urgently contacted a nearby Air Force radar station to see what
|
|
it was picking up. At various times during the event the UFOs were tracked by
|
|
the 747 on-board radar and by the Air Force ground radar.
|
|
|
|
As the sky darkened, the UFOs paced the 747 and were finally lost in the
|
|
distant horizon. Then, a pale white light appeared behind the aircraft.
|
|
Silhouetted against lights on the ground, it looked like an immense Saturn-
|
|
shaped object - the size, Terauchi estimated, of "two aircraft carriers." He
|
|
thought it was a "mothership" that had carried the two "smaller" objects,
|
|
themselves of no inconsequential size. The Anchorage radar was recording the
|
|
object's presence. For the first time the crew felt fear.
|
|
|
|
By now the aircraft was running low on fuel, and the captain requested
|
|
permission to land. The UFO vanished suddenly at 5:39 P.M.
