A Japan Air Lines pilot, Capt. Kenjyu Terauchi, reported seeing unidentified lights in the sky while flying over Alaska. The lights did not appear on military or FAA radar, and there were notable differences from a previous sighting by the same pilot. Speculation arose that the lights could be a weather phenomenon known as 'bounce light effect.'

On November 17, 1986, Japan Air Lines pilot Kenju Terauchi reported a close encounter with a UFO while flying over Alaska. The incident involved two cylindrical objects with bright lights that maneuvered in formation with his aircraft, leading to radar confirmations from Anchorage air traffic control and the U.S. Air Force.

On November 17, the crew of Japan Air Lines Flight 1628 reported a UFO with flashing lights following their cargo jet across the Arctic Circle. The Air Force confirmed radar detection of an object near the plane, although FAA controllers did not see it. The crew described the lights as unusual and not typical of aircraft markings.

This document details the extraordinary sighting of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) by Captain Kenju Terauchi during a Japan Air Lines cargo flight over Alaska in November 1986. Terauchi and his crew observed two belts of amber lights that exhibited advanced technology and maneuverability, leading Terauchi to conclude they were of extraterrestrial origin.…
