story to the press.
According to a vivid and de-
tailed account of the incident
by veteran JAL pilot Kenju
Terauchi, his 747 was flying:in
clear skies at 35,000 feet and’
cruising at 525 knots when
flight control reports, the
UFOs dogged the 747 for at
least $2 minutes.
Terauchi, however, said the
ships followed him for 400
miles.

three walnut-shaped UFOs, the
huge one and two emailer ones,
streaked out of the heavens.
“We could all see the UFOs
very clearly,” the 47-year-old
pilot said. “One was very large

and his crew tried to escape
the UFOs by following FAA
instructions to descend 4,000
feet and make several evasive
maneuvers. '
But the 747 jet was no
match for the maneuvering
ability of the spacecraft.
“They were still following
us,” Terauchi said, and FAA
radar at that time confirmed
that at least one of the UFOs
remained nearby.

tioned the 747's crew in An-

Terauchi radioed that the
lights he saw were yellow,
amber and green, but not red,
which is the international
color for aircraft beacons.
Paul Steucke, the FAA
spokesman in Anchorage, said
his agency is continuing its in-
vestigation into the incident
and that radar tapes and the
recorded radio messages are
being sent to Washington.
But Terauchi said his only
conclusion is that the three
UFOs he saw on that Novem-
ber 17 flight were not from
earth.
