This document details the radar analysis and eyewitness accounts related to the Japan Airlines Flight 1628 incident on November 17, 1986, where the crew reported being followed by unidentified flying objects. The FAA's investigation revealed uncorrelated radar signals, which were attributed to radar quirks rather than a separate object.
