On November 17th, 1986 at 17:10, Japanese Airline Officer Kenju Terauchi,
who was piloting a 747 cargo plane first saw what he at first thought were lights
coming from a military aircraft.
During the next half hour he and his crew realised that things of an unearthly
nature had joined them in the skies.
The pilot, first officer, and flight engineer saw two lighted structures, "about
the same size as the body of a DC-8 jet", in Terauchi's words, moving about
1000ft feet in front of the cargo plane. Terauchi's radio communications to
Anchorage flight control were strangely garbled, but enough got through that
Anchorage urgently contacted a nearby Air Force radar station to see what they were
picking up. At various times during the event the UFOs were tracked by the 747 on-board
radar and by the Air Force ground radar.
As the sky darkened, the UFOs paced the 747 and were finally lost in the distant
horizon. The a pale white light appeared behind the aircraft. Silhouetted against
lights on the ground, it looked like an immense, Saturn-shaped object - the size, Terauchi estimated, of
"two aircraft carriers." He thought it was a "mothership" that had carried the two
"smaller" objects, themselves of no small size. The Anchorage radar was
recording the object's presence. For the first time the crew felt fear. By now the aircraft was
running low on fuel, and the captain requested permission to land.
The UFO vanished suddenly at 17:39.
