A JAL flight engineer, Beckner of FAA on Sayoko Mimoto, regarding Yoshio Tsukuba, was interviewed by Pete January 15, 1987, through an interpreter, to the UFO which had been sighted on the 17th of November, 1986, by Captain Terauchi. Beckner & Tsukubas Beckner : Mi motos Tsukuba: Beckner: Tsukubas Beckner 3 Tsukubas Beckner: Tsukuba: Beckners Tsukuba: Beckners Describe what you saw. May I speak in Japanese”? Oh! Oh! please. please. Yes, YES, The first time I saw it was through the Li window, at the ll o’clock position. It looked larger than navigation lights. I do not remember’ exactly how many of those (lights) were there but clusters of lights were undulating. What was the color of those lights, was it green? Il can not describe the details but it was white or amber colored lights. When you saw the object was it obvious to you? Did you notice it immediately? I noticed it immediately. Yes, it was. Did it stay with you at position 11 o’clock? How long did you see this object? Yes, approximately 5 minutes, 10 minutes, I think I saw it for about 10 minutes after I sighted it the first time. The reason is because the Captain wanted to take pictures. His camera bag was placed behind his seat, beside mine, and I handed it to him. But he could not take pictures, so I placed his camera bag beside my seat again. So I think it took about 10 minutes. Why could he not take any pictures? Well, his camera is Alpha 7,000, with film ASA 100. He could not operate it well. I mean the operating procedure of the camera was not understood well. What kind of camera did he have?
