First, as you know, aircraft carriers do not fly. However, a formation flight of two or more aircraft can appear to occupy space as large as an aircraft carrier in some light conditions, especially if the flight is in a "radar trail" sort of formation. Some aircraft fly that way as a matter of their mission (normally fighter aircraft with an air-to-ground role, F-15E, F-16s). We can't really see weather fronts on radar. We can see precipitation with certain filters/circuits set correctly.
@curtfaulk Thanks for the response. I ask because if an extremely large object was in trail of the 747, as the pilot reported, shouldn't the radar return indicate the size? As far as I can tell, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the radar blip that appeared behind the plane, except that it appeared intermittently.
All I can say for sure is that this crew was definitely shook up, rattled or whatever you want to call it; very professional still, but shook up nonetheless. My guess is that they saw something VERY odd. If I had to guess, I would speculate that it was a military aircraft that was classified in 1986 and remained classified for a few more years but has now been declassified for many years and is very familiar to the public.
@curtfaulk Hello again. Since you are an expert, I have a question for you. Do you suppose an object the size of an aircraft carrier or larger would show up as a blip on radar, or would it look more like a weather front?
I wonder what you believe it could be, because nothing we have to my knowledge matches what the pilot reported.
I've come back here now, months later, and read some more of these comments. I don't know what this crew saw. But I was working in Anchorage TRACON after we accepted the handoff from Anchorage ARTCC Sector 6 on this aircraft. I heard all of the radio transmissions (I was working a "handoff" position, not a "radar" position, so I was listening, but not doing the talking).
The "UFO" delusion depends on generations of believers treating claims as facts. But claims about purportedly extraordinary events aren't even evidence, much less facts. A believer in the FS myth claimed he saw "spaceships," as he had before, but his crew saw only "lights." He alone claimed a "giant mothership" was on his tail but two other aircrews said there was nothing there. So how could just "lights" and darkness be "spaceships" to him? It was merely his FS fantasy. Believing is seeing. ;~)
@ZoamChomsky A) A good investigator must assume claims are true rather than modify those claims to fit what they believe is possible. Debunkers such as Phillip Klass did just that, and they have no credibility.
B) The pilot was the only one who could have seen the giant UFO. If the others said they saw it, it would have proven that this was a hoax.
C) The other planes arrived too late to see the UFO. Radar indicated that this object could moves miles in an instant.
@ZoamChomsky There are other sightings that support the existence of a very large UFO in Alaska skies in the late '80s. Soon after the JAL1628 event, a military plane reported the same UFO as was described by the JAL pilot. In John Alexander's recent book, he wrote of native Alaskan scouts who worked for the military that witnessed a similar large UFO from the ground. This thing was seen more than once.
@ZoamChomsky You are the one who is deluded. The fact is that this object was picked up on RADAR. You conveniently forgot that part didn't you. The radar signature matched up to where the pilot reported seeing the 'craft'. Why would he need to embellish his report when radio detection and ranging can testify that there is actually something there? I take it your opinions on the Tehran UFO Incident are a similar bunch of skewed nonsense.
At no time did any radar readings coincide with Terauchi's imaginary spaceships. Ground reported an echo of his plane 50 miles behind. Right up to the time two interceptors reported JAL 1628 was alone in the sky, Terauchi was reporting a "giant spaceship" on his tail. All the copilot would say he saw was "lights." Only Terauchi--believer in the "UFO" DELUSION--claimed to see "spaceships" and a "giant mothership." The facts don't support even one bit of REPEATER Terauchi's flying-saucer fantasy.
@stig781 Since the 1976 Tehran flap had begun weeks before as northern villagers' reports of a large bird, followed by reports of a strange helicopter, and the primary source telex on the culminating F-14 events was copied directly from sensationalist newspaper stories, this Tehran flying-saucer fairy tale is just as big and complete TOTAL ZERO as Terauchi's flying-saucer fantasy. The Iranian military said the stories were a bunch of nonsense the reporters made up to sell trashy newspapers. DUH!
This definitely happened just like it was described. I was at work that day and took the call from the Anchorage Center telling us to "watch Japaniar" because the pilot was all shook up from seeing a UFO.
definitely happened just like it was described<< Yeah, an old-time believer in the flying-saucer myth and a notorious repeater instigated a typical small group scare inside of the very well understood "UFO" collective delusion. The delusion began in San Francisco in 1896 as a "crashed airship" HOAX to sell newspapers. And after more than a century, innumerable, insubstantial, unverifiable and utterly inconsequential reports have not produced one REAL "UFO" of any kind. A lot of noise, no signal.
OK, all you nay-sayers out there. I was a controller in Alaska (Anchorage TRACON) in the mid-1980's. The controllers involved were NOT Anchorage Tower, but rather Anchorage Air route Traffic Control Center (ZAN). I remember this very well. It was the talk of the ATC community for a couple of months. I remember Carl Henley, the ZAN controller talking about it even into 1990's when he was the ZAN Military Operations Specialist.
@curtfaulk Thanks for your comments. If the radar returns really were just "common" false returns as has been stated, I doubt it would have created such a stir in the ATC community. Anyway, I think it's healthy to have opposing views, and to debate the issues. A discussion at one of the UFO forums convinced me that the government really didn't try to cover up this incident as John Callahan claims. Apparently he misinterpreted what happened at the meeting with Reagan's scientific staff.
@curtfaulk Too bad none of that helps this total zero of a "UFO" case. Only Terauchi claimed to have seen "spaceships" (two "scoutships" and a "giant mothership") as well as referencing flying-saucer mythology during his delusional panic episode. All the co-pilot would say was "lights," typical plane lights or the spectral colors of stars seen near the horizon. Terauchi had reported seeing flying saucers before and would after. So just "lights" to one became "spaceships" for a delusional other.
Yes, it does. Billions of people on this planet and one guy sees not "UFOs" but real visiting ET "flying saucers," "spaceships," "scoutships," and a "gigantic mothership" at various times during his life? It's so highly improbable that it says more about the mental health of the man than about the imaginary objects of his ridiculous claims.
NOTHING supported his claims. The copilot saw just some "lights" in the far distance. And nothing on radar ever coincided with his imaginary "spaceships."
The copilot couldn't have seen anything to the far left and below. He would only say "lights" far ahead. The claim that "they felt heat on their faces" is laughably absurd. That Terauchi was a fantasy-prone flying-saucer repeater steeped in "UFO" mythology tells the real story. Mantell died because of inexperience, not the balloon he was chasing, so Terauchi was plainly irrational. This event was nothing but a common small group scare, occurring inside of the worldwide "UFO" collective delusion.
@ZoamChomsky The flight crew was comprised of three people, actually.
You think it's absurd that they reported feeling heat from the lights, therefore, according to you, this couldn't have happened; but that is what they ALL reported. Those were not just lights, but a specific array of lights as described in Maccabee's report
Yes, three, but only one claimed to have seen "spaceships." What the fantasy-prone Terauchi imagined to be rows of jet exhaust from two ET "scout ships," his copilot described as just some "lights" in the far distance. Show me where the copilot or navigator claims he saw "spaceships." You can't because neither did, only some "lights." How could just some "lights" to one be a "spaceship" to another? And only repeater Terauchi reported feeling heat on his face, a claim which is obviously absurd.
@ZoamChomsky Seeing more than one UFO doesn't make someone less credible. 20 years separated the pilot's first two sightings, and a month after the Alaska incident he thought he saw another. Regardless, this video is about JAL 1628, not the other reports. Ad hominem attacks on the pilot are irrelevant, because this report is supported by two copilots, his plane's radar, FAA radar, military radar, and air to ground voice communication.
This "UFO" case is one of the biggest total zeros in the history of the "UFO" myth and collective delusion. Terauchi reported seeing "flying saucers" on several occasions before and after. In his immediate post-flight interview he used the words "spaceship" and "mothership" but his crewmen would not corroborate his wildly irresponsible claims and behavior. Normal ground clutter and an echo of his own plane 50 miles behind never matched his imaginary "spaceship" in position or size.
@ZoamChomsky The three man crew all witnessed the first two UFOs, but only the pilot was in a position to see the larger object that was following them off to the left side of their 747. See Dr. Maccabee's detailed report of this event. (Google search “JAL 1628 Maccabee”)
However, it does appear to me that “the coverup” was actually a misunderstanding on the part of the FAA chief.
In the post-flight interview only the copilot would say he saw "lights" in the distance ahead. But Terauchi was thoroughly steeped in "UFO" mythology, referencing the fatal 1948 Mantell case and referring to his imaginings as two "scout ships," a "giant spaceship" and a "mothership." The man was a repeater, one of those believers in the flying-saucer myth who sees ET spacecraft in every ambiguous visual stimulus. Two intercepts said there was nothing there. BM's report only exposes that fact. 8)
Your version has nothing to do with the facts. All crew members reported seeing the first two UFOs, and all said they felt heat on their faces from the lights. As for the pilot, he was familiar with UFO history, and didn't want the military to sent up a plane for fear that a pilot would be lost, as happened in the Mantell case. He had one previous UFO sighting years before this one, and another about a month after the JAL 1628 incident. BM's report deals only in the facts, not revisionism.
I am reporting the facts. Preferring belief in the literal truth of Terauchi's utterly implausible flying-saucer fairy tale--and the myth ufoologists have created about it--is naive. At no time did any radar readings coincide with Terauchi's imaginary spaceships. Ground reported an echo of his plane 50 miles behind. Right up to the time two interceptors reported JAL 1628 was ALONE in the sky, Terauchi was reporting a "giant spaceship" on his tail. All the copilot would say he saw was "lights."
@ZoamChomsky I'd call your version of this case revisionism. Clearly you are not dealing with the facts. The radar readings were inconsistent, but as Callahan explained, radar isn't designed to detect objects that move miles in an instant. Anyone who knows anything about radar knows that ground clutter does not follow aircraft. Radar DID pick up an object following the 747.
And I call your preference for belief in the literal truth of Terauchi's utterly implausible flying-saucer fairy tale--and the myth ufoologists have created about it--naive in the extreme since not one bit of his "spaceship" fantasy is supported by the facts. Radar picked up a common echo off of mountains--a false image--of the 747 itself 50 MILES distant according to the FAA investigation. End of Story.
@ZoamChomsky Not supported by facts??? Now that's laughable. Ground radar picked up the UFO, and the plane's radar also painted it while it was off to the side. The entire crew saw the initial UFO/s, and the captain saw the large one in trail, even after evasive maneuvers. What a coincidence that a rare radar malfunction occurred during this encounter. The FAA conclusion ignores the facts, just as you are doing. That's called revisionism, a ploy that all debunkers use.
@ZoamChomsky "Radar picked up a common echo off of mountains--a false image--of the 747 itself 50 MILES distant according to the FAA investigation"
Who the hell ARE you? You do understand the extremely sensitive issue regarding UFOs don't you? In that case you must be rather naive to take official reports on such matters at face value. Radar Echo! Lmao thats a good one
@ZoamChomsky Actually, no interceptors were sent to investigate. Other planes in the area were asked if they could see anything unusual, but they didn't. By that time the JAL pilot said the object had disappeared. You need to study Maccabee's report more closely because you seem to be confused and irrational.
Both a UAL jet and a military plane altered their paths to intercept JAL 1628. And both reported that there was NOTHING on his tail--no "gigantic mothership the size of two aircraft carriers," no "scout ships" or anything the least bit UFOish of any kind. No, the "gigantic mothership" that NO ONE had seen--and only the fantasy-prone repeater Terauchi in the midst of a typical small group scare had imagined out of the darkness behind him--had now suddenly disappeared! Another very big-fish story.
@ZoamChomsky "Both a UAL jet and a military plane altered their paths to intercept JAL 1628"
That was AFTER the object has disappeared from view and radar. You are only spreading disinformation by distorting the facts of the case like this. Stop it.
@stig781 Nonsense! The flying-saucer repeater Terauchi was reporting the "giant mothership" on his tail right up to the time two intercepters told ground there was nothing there.
