Gentlemen:
I am writing in regards to the Alaskan UFO sighting of
November 17, 1986 by the crewmembers of a Japan Air Lines
aircraft.
I am specifically interested in learning how one might
go about receiving any data, reports, etc. pertaining to
the subject that your agency has, or will be, releasing to
the general public.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Althin S. Cape
