This document discusses the radar data analysis related to Japan Airlines flight 1628, which reported an unidentified flying object (UFO) on November 17, 1986. The FAA's review of radar data indicated the presence of 'uncorrelated primary and beacon targets,' which are not uncommon and can occur due to timing discrepancies in radar systems.

The FAA states it lacks the resources and mandate to scientifically investigate UFO sightings, including the case of Japan Airlines flight 1628. They have completed their investigation and do not intend to pursue it further.
