First time for the other crew members, okay that's fine.
I think it was the first time.
Who was the first person who saw it?
It was me. I saw it in - inside.
What did you notice at first?
During first time we saw light, I think a navigation light.
Ah ha, but you saw it visually first you didn't pick it up on
radar or anything you just saw some light out there, okay and
that really coinsides with the air traffic statement, you called
and said do you have any traffic in my area
Yeah, yeah before, before, about six minutes before I saw this
one so ah...
You were watching him for about five or six minutes before you
called...
Before I contact Anchorage Center
Ah ah, okay
Okay fourth question, what did you see exactly shape, light, and
all, the shape, lighting, etc. ...
Well if you can just explain these to me cause it looks like
you've done alot of drawing here so it's not necessary for you to
redraw all this stuff
This light was amber and whitish, but, when it came to here it
was only amber .. . white light. Why don't lL understand.
(Japanese) right
First of all it's like amber and whitish color, came closely it
seems like all the output exhaust position of the jets, all these
Challenger
Look like something like after burners .. . okay okay, like each
one of these was an individual exhaust
Yes
Okay
So this light is special like (Japanese) when ah Challenger, yes
like Challenger took off amount of flame going on, we can't see
Challenger by this flame
