Paul Steucke: =—2- May 21, 1987 While I am convinced that Jupiter was the "UFO" for the latter portion of the flight from Nenana south, I _ no longer think it was the "culprit" for the earlier portion of the flight but have another candidate which I am now exploring, and which explains why I need clarification of the precise flight path Finally, there is a good chance that I may be flying to Seattle on/about May 7 to appear on a TV show there dealing with UFOS. I would be delighted to fly from Seattle to Anchorage to give my standard UFO lecture to your controllers, to provide them with a better understanding of the issues. Most of the lecture deals with incidents involving airline and military pilots and demonstrates how easily they can mistake prosaic objects for mysterious UFOs--even in broad daylight. If there 1s any interest in such a lecture among your controllers, I'd be delighted to come up if FAA can underwrite transportation from Seattle and back to Seattle. (The TV station Will underwrite my travel costs from D.C. to Seattle.) Would appreciate a prompt response to my flight path question. Philip J. Klass Cordially, Philip J. Klass Technica!
