A request for information regarding a UFO sighting by a Japan Airlines pilot, dated March 9, 1987, sent to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The document discusses the radar data related to Japan Airlines flight 1628, which experienced uncorrelated radar signals during its flight on November 17, 1986. FAA experts analyzed the radar data and explained the phenomenon of uncorrelated targets, emphasizing that this occurrence coincided with a pilot's sighting of an unidentified object.

This document is a personnel statement from John L. Aarnink, an Air Traffic Control Specialist at the FAA, detailing his observations during the Japan Airlines Flight 1628 incident on November 18, 1986, near Fairbanks, Alaska.

This document is a personnel statement from an Air Traffic Control Specialist regarding an incident involving Japan Airlines Flight 628 on January 11, 1987, where the pilot reported an unidentified object in proximity to the aircraft.

This document discusses the FAA's analysis of radar data related to Japan Airlines flight 1628, which experienced uncorrelated radar signals during its flight on November 17, 1986. The FAA experts concluded that the radar system detected an 'uncorrelated primary and beacon target', a phenomenon that can occur under certain conditions, particularly when a pil…

This document details the events surrounding a UFO sighting by the crew of Japan Airlines Flight 1628 while flying over Alaska. The crew reported seeing strange lights that appeared to follow their aircraft, leading to an investigation by FAA officials. The incident sparked significant media interest and raised questions about the FAA's handling of UFO repor…

This document provides a detailed analysis of the radar data associated with Japan Airlines flight 1628, which reported an unidentified flying object (UFO) during its flight over Alaska on November 17, 1986. The analysis focuses on the phenomenon of uncorrelated radar signals and the normalcy of the radar returns observed during the incident.

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 document discusses a UFO sighting by the crew of Japan Airlines Flight 1628 on November 17, 1986, which was corroborated by radar data. The crew reported seeing strange lights, which were later analyzed and attributed to various factors, including the planet Jupiter and atmospheric conditions.

The document discusses the optical phenomenon of satellite flaring caused by artificial satellites, particularly the SpaceX Starlink constellation, and how these flares can be misinterpreted as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). It provides methods for observers to identify and predict satellite flares and their implications for UAP reports.

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) 1 An AARO Information Paper Correlations of Starlink 1 Satellite Flaring with UAP Observations December 2024 Introduction With the advent of satellite communication mega-constellations including the SpaceX Starlink, Eutelsat OneWeb, Amazon Kuiper, and Chinese G60 constellations, there are currently thousands of art…

This document discusses a UFO sighting involving a Japanese Air Lines cargo plane on November 17, 1986, where the pilot reported being followed by an unidentified object. Air traffic controllers tracked a radar image that coincided with the pilot's report. The document also includes differing opinions on the sighting, suggesting it could be a natural phenome…
