A cargo aircraft captain reported seeing irregular pulsating lights that he believed to be a UFO while flying over Alaska. The FAA concluded that the lights were likely caused by atmospheric conditions.

This document details an interview conducted with the flight crew of Japan Air Lines flight 1628 regarding their encounter with unidentified aerial phenomena while flying over Alaska on November 17, 1986.

The document discusses the ongoing efforts by researchers to uncover government recognition of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), likening the situation to a 'cosmic Watergate'. Stanton Friedman, a prominent UFO researcher, expresses concerns about the government's attempts to suppress information regarding UFOs.

This document outlines a public affairs plan for the release of information regarding the JAL 1628 UFO incident, scheduled for March 5, 1987. It details the preparation, organization, and dissemination of materials to the media and public, ensuring transparency and addressing potential concerns about a cover-up.

This document is a correspondence from the FAA regarding a request for records related to a sighting of an unidentified flying object by Japan Air Lines on November 17, 1986. The FAA indicates that they are compiling the records and will not be able to release the transcript until it is completed, expected around February 26, 1987.

The document discusses various reported sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) across the United States, noting a correlation between media publicity and the frequency of these reports.
