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.'

It must be concluded, therefore, thst most of the statements of speed, distance, altitude and size are entirely unreliable and should be disregarded, This is doubly true of observations made at night. The objects seen may actually have been at very great distances, or they may hav…
