DES 18 1986 0250 - The northbound United Flight advised they had the Japan Airlines flight in sight, against a light background, and could not see any other traffic. 0253 - JL1628 advised they no longer had contact with the traffic. A subsequent review of ANC ARTCC's radar tracking data failed to confirm any targets in close proximity to JL1628.
