This document is a memorandum from the US Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration regarding the release of incident information related to the JAL1628 case. It outlines the distribution of air traffic investigation materials and the protocols followed for information release.

…responding to inquiries about the flight path of JAL Flight 1628, which encountered a UFO on November 17, 1986. The FAA confirms the flight path based on radar data and emphasizes their focus on airspace safety rather than UFO phenomena.

This document is a letter from Richard F. Haines, a research consultant, requesting meteorological data for a specific night in January 1987 in NE Alaska. The data requested includes pressure and temperature soundings, a lapse rate diagram, and winds aloft along the flight path of an aircraft.

This document details an incident involving unidentified air traffic observed by the crew of JAL flight 1628 on November 17, 1987, as they approached Anchorage, Alaska. The crew reported seeing strange lights that changed position and were confirmed on radar by air traffic control.

The FAA released documents regarding a UFO sighting by a Japan Air Lines flight crew over Alaska on November 17, 1986. The FAA could not confirm the sighting but investigated to ensure no safety hazards existed. Analysis revealed that the radar anomaly was a split return from the JAL aircraft, not another aircraft.
