1 00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:01,969 it was a Japan Airlines cargo flight 2 00:00:07,309 --> 00:00:05,040 piloted by Captain kenju tarouuchi this 3 00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,319 is the sketch terrauchi Drew of what he 4 00:00:10,970 --> 00:00:09,360 says he saw at his window that night and 5 00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:10,980 this Japanese television graphic is 6 00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:13,320 based on his description this is just a 7 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:17,420 small species sick we can see uh 8 00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:22,560 this one is uh size is uh Kelly so 9 00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:24,840 motherships bigger than an aircraft 10 00:00:28,609 --> 00:00:26,880 carrier tarouuchi claimed when he drew 11 00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:28,619 this sketch showing the relative size of 12 00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:31,140 his jumbo jet taruchi's route was over 13 00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:33,540 Alaska to Anchorage he says the UFOs 14 00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:35,280 stayed with him 40 minutes and then 15 00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:38,040 disappeared today the FAA released tapes 16 00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:39,420 of the cruise conversation with 17 00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:42,480 controllers spinner 16 28th sir if 18 00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:45,180 you're able to identify the type 19 00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,110 uhuchi's crewmates were not sure they'd 20 00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:02,640 seen a UFO and other planes sent to look 21 00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:06,000 saw nothing unusual the FAA agrees today 22 00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:07,920 the agency concluded a three-month 23 00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:10,020 investigation saying there's nothing to 24 00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:12,180 substantiate the Pilot's story nothing 25 00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:14,760 to indicate a UFO or any other aircraft 26 00:01:19,250 --> 00:01:17,220 near the flight computer memory has 27 00:01:21,289 --> 00:01:19,260 recreated what radar picked up as the 28 00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,299 flight progressed sometimes the Jal 29 00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:23,759 plane is seen as a normal blip but 30 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:25,080 occasionally it appears as what some 31 00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:27,360 called a double blip sometimes even two 32 00:01:31,609 --> 00:01:29,460 distinct blips it caught controller's 33 00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:31,619 attention that night 34 00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:35,340 they do have a primary target in Trail 35 00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:37,500 View this time but the FAA says 36 00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:39,420 exhaustive analysis indicates the 37 00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:41,220 occasional second blip was a common 38 00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:43,680 radar Echo and noting that this is only 39 00:01:48,770 --> 00:01:45,960 one of four times Captain terucy has 40 00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:48,780 said he's seen UFOs the FAA today closed 41 00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:51,060 the case but a tape recording reveals 42 00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:53,460 one investigator telling Taraji if he's 43 00:02:00,289 --> 00:01:56,159 right or the agency's wrong all I can 44 00:02:06,109 --> 00:02:02,870 one impressive well-documented case is 45 00:02:09,290 --> 00:02:06,119 reconstructed here by nip on TV when a 46 00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:09,300 707 was flying over Alaska on the 17th 47 00:02:21,229 --> 00:02:18,350 at 5 PM during the flight Commander 48 00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:21,239 tarashi observed two red lights getting 49 00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:29,990 the control tower Anchorage didn't 50 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:42,729 the lights got nearer and narrower 51 00:02:49,130 --> 00:02:45,410 the three Pilots fold a wave of heat 52 00:03:12,309 --> 00:02:49,140 then the lights disappeared 53 00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:15,530 the radar screen indicated the proximity 54 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:18,180 of the object and the object began to 55 00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:19,680 Shadow the airplane 56 00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:33,649 contrast to the city lights the crew 57 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,959 could see the outline of the object 58 00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:39,360 we couldn't believe our eyes it was 30 59 00:03:50,589 --> 00:03:47,750 we tried to shake off this object and I 60 00:03:53,869 --> 00:03:50,599 veered the 707 away 61 00:03:57,309 --> 00:03:53,879 the control tar asked if we required the 62 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:57,319 intervention of a military fighter 63 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:59,760 we replied that it would be too 64 00:04:03,649 --> 00:04:00,720 dangerous 65 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,659 as an LL airplane needed to cross our 66 00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:05,519 flight path 67 00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:10,159 towards 6 PM the object disappeared 68 00:04:15,949 --> 00:04:14,040 the sighting lasted for an hour 69 00:04:18,349 --> 00:04:15,959 these are the sketches by captain 70 00:04:21,710 --> 00:04:18,359 tarashi 71 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,720 both he and his crew saw enormous UFO 72 00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:24,000 it was under control and he felt there 73 00:04:28,129 --> 00:04:25,860 was every possibility that it hadn't 74 00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:28,139 been constructed on Earth 75 00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:31,080 my name is John Callahan I'm a retired 76 00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:33,900 FAA employee I was a division manager 77 00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:35,460 for the accidents evaluation and 78 00:04:40,430 --> 00:04:38,460 investigation division in D.C about two 79 00:04:43,629 --> 00:04:40,440 years before I retired I received a call 80 00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:43,639 from my Alaska region with the 81 00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:45,960 region wanted to know what to tell the 82 00:04:51,469 --> 00:04:48,300 media when I questioned tell the media 83 00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:51,479 what he says about the UFO and he went 84 00:04:56,030 --> 00:04:54,180 downhill from there what UFO 85 00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,040 it turned out I told him about the any 86 00:04:59,570 --> 00:04:57,840 government employee would do at that 87 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:59,580 time was to tell them it's under 88 00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:00,960 investigation 89 00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:03,060 and then I had him send all that data to 90 00:05:09,469 --> 00:05:06,060 the faa's tech center in Atlantic City 91 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:09,479 the next day my uh immediate boss 92 00:05:14,749 --> 00:05:12,000 service director Javi Sofia and I went 93 00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:14,759 to Atlantic City I just purchased a a 94 00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:16,380 new video camera 95 00:05:22,370 --> 00:05:20,220 and I videoed the uh the event 96 00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,380 and Atlantic City we had him play back 97 00:05:27,770 --> 00:05:24,720 on a uh on the scope you would call a 98 00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:27,780 scope a plan view display PVD exactly 99 00:05:32,990 --> 00:05:30,360 what the pilot uh seen or what the 100 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,000 control was seen and we tied it in with 101 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:35,280 the voice tape so we could hear exactly 102 00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:36,720 what the control was said and what he 103 00:05:40,210 --> 00:05:39,000 heard and we taped it we came back the 104 00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:40,220 next day 105 00:05:45,050 --> 00:05:43,560 uh brief the administrator admiralingen 106 00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:45,060 on what happened he won the five-minute 107 00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:47,039 briefing after we started the brief and 108 00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:48,060 he wanted to know if he could see the 109 00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:50,100 video we put the video on he watched the 110 00:05:55,310 --> 00:05:51,780 video the whole video 111 00:05:58,490 --> 00:05:55,320 the next day he set up a a meeting for 112 00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,500 me to give a dog and pony show to 113 00:06:02,450 --> 00:06:00,479 President Reagan's scientific staff and 114 00:06:04,610 --> 00:06:02,460 whoever they brought over and to hand 115 00:06:07,730 --> 00:06:04,620 off all that data to them 116 00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:07,740 that morning in the FAA round room 117 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:10,160 it was either 9 or 10 o'clock 118 00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:13,440 three men from a Reagan's scientific 119 00:06:17,570 --> 00:06:14,460 staff 120 00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:17,580 three CIA people three FBI people and I 121 00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:19,020 don't remember who the other guys were 122 00:06:23,629 --> 00:06:21,900 along with all the FAA experts that I 123 00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:23,639 brought with me that could decide or 124 00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:25,979 talk about the hardware and software how 125 00:06:31,309 --> 00:06:28,620 it worked we put on a dog and pony show 126 00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:31,319 we let them watch the video we had all 127 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:33,120 the data there we had all the printouts 128 00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:35,520 that the computer put out 129 00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:37,740 they got all excited over it when it was 130 00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:38,819 all done 131 00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:42,000 the CIA one of the CIA men told the 132 00:06:45,890 --> 00:06:43,620 people they would also wanted secrecy 133 00:06:48,529 --> 00:06:45,900 that this meeting never happened and 134 00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:48,539 this event never happened when I asked 135 00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,720 them why you know I thought it was 136 00:06:56,270 --> 00:06:53,280 probably just a stealth bomb at the time 137 00:06:59,930 --> 00:06:56,280 he says well this is the first time that 138 00:07:01,909 --> 00:06:59,940 we have recorded radar data on a UFO and 139 00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:01,919 these guys are going to get all excited 140 00:07:05,330 --> 00:07:04,319 they're drooling over all this data I 141 00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,340 said well you're going to tell the 142 00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:07,440 public about it and he says no we don't 143 00:07:11,930 --> 00:07:09,240 tell the public about this it would 144 00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:11,940 Panic the public he says we're going to 145 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,520 go back and study this 146 00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:17,039 I said Okay that was what he was going 147 00:07:22,249 --> 00:07:19,740 to do now I've told this story many 148 00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:22,259 times and I've get sometimes funny looks 149 00:07:26,270 --> 00:07:24,840 from people I have with me 150 00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:26,280 the 151 00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:37,199 what to do with it we don't separate 152 00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:39,720 UFOs from real traffic so it's not our 153 00:07:47,809 --> 00:07:45,770 I have a copy of the original of the uh 154 00:07:49,070 --> 00:07:47,819 video that we took which is rather 155 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:49,080 interesting 156 00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:50,479 and 157 00:07:55,490 --> 00:07:53,460 once once the thing was all over 158 00:07:58,430 --> 00:07:55,500 the report started coming into my office 159 00:08:02,390 --> 00:07:58,440 but because it wasn't an FAA air traffic 160 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:02,400 problem the faa's report ended up on a 161 00:08:07,010 --> 00:08:04,800 table in my office and stayed there 162 00:08:09,409 --> 00:08:07,020 until I retired when one of the staffers 163 00:08:12,170 --> 00:08:09,419 packed up all my gear and helped it 164 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:12,180 moved to my house also in a box I found 165 00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:15,840 just a few good days ago in my 1992 tax 166 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:18,780 return I have the target printouts from 167 00:08:25,010 --> 00:08:21,840 the computer data which so if you wanted 168 00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:25,020 to return or look at every Target that 169 00:08:29,089 --> 00:08:27,120 was up there at the time you can now 170 00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:29,099 reproduce this from this piece of paper 171 00:08:35,630 --> 00:08:32,120 here and it's called the UFO incident 172 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:35,640 Japan 1648 I believe the number was that 173 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:37,760 happened on November the 18th 174 00:08:42,649 --> 00:08:41,279 1986. I'm prepared to go to Congress to 175 00:08:44,449 --> 00:08:42,659 swim before Congress that everything 176 00:08:46,850 --> 00:08:44,459 I've told you people and everything that 177 00:08:49,150 --> 00:08:46,860 is here is the truth thank you having 178 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,160 public participation in the UFO program 179 00:08:53,389 --> 00:08:51,360 caused an awful lot of headaches for the 180 00:08:55,009 --> 00:08:53,399 United States Air Force their regular 181 00:08:58,009 --> 00:08:55,019 relations indicated that they couldn't 182 00:09:00,410 --> 00:08:58,019 tell the public that there were unknowns 183 00:09:02,690 --> 00:09:00,420 that they were only to telepublic the 184 00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:02,700 ones that they had identified and 185 00:09:06,769 --> 00:09:04,500 because of this they had to give all 186 00:09:08,810 --> 00:09:06,779 types of explanations for UFOs and it 187 00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:08,820 caused the Air Force to have a very bad 188 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,860 name not only that the information 189 00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:12,959 concerning UFOs was highly classified 190 00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:14,760 and having the public participation in 191 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:17,160 the UFO program wasn't to the best of 192 00:09:26,210 --> 00:09:22,080 the Air Force interests so in December 193 00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:26,220 of 1969 December 17 1969 the United 194 00:09:31,009 --> 00:09:28,200 States Air Force again told the public 195 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:31,019 that it had terminated its UFO program 196 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:33,839 and now covertly invests investigates 197 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,080 the better civilian sightings and 198 00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:38,399 concentrates mostly on government Source 199 00:09:45,230 --> 00:09:40,580 control cases and airline pilot cases 200 00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:45,240 under the order Janet 146 a joint Army 201 00:09:52,130 --> 00:09:48,560 Air Force Navy order which 202 00:09:53,870 --> 00:09:52,140 outlines what military civilian Pilots 203 00:09:55,550 --> 00:09:53,880 are supposed to do when they say see a 204 00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:55,560 UFO sighting they submitted what they 205 00:09:58,850 --> 00:09:57,240 call a surveys report which contains 206 00:10:01,550 --> 00:09:58,860 information vital to the security of the 207 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,560 United States once they make an official 208 00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:03,600 report they're subjected to ten thousand 209 00:10:08,269 --> 00:10:05,580 dollar fine hand or ten years in jail if 210 00:10:12,170 --> 00:10:08,279 they reveal a contents of this report 211 00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:12,180 also in 1973 after the last huge UFO 212 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:14,760 wave worldwide UFO wave UFOs 213 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:17,120 mysteriously disappeared from the 214 00:10:22,009 --> 00:10:18,800 national 215 00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:22,019 newspapers the only way usually you're 216 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,700 going to find about out about UFO 217 00:10:28,070 --> 00:10:25,200 sightings other than belonging to an 218 00:10:30,170 --> 00:10:28,080 organization who's investigating UFOs 219 00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:30,180 would be to subscribe to a local news 220 00:10:34,970 --> 00:10:33,600 clip service and you would see that UFO 221 00:10:36,410 --> 00:10:34,980 sightings are still happening in this 222 00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:36,420 country and abroad all over the place 223 00:10:41,150 --> 00:10:38,700 but they aren't getting reported on the 224 00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:41,160 national press which is very unusual and 225 00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:43,920 there was one recently in Alaska very 226 00:10:48,410 --> 00:10:46,740 unusual at that particular account in 227 00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:48,420 Alaska should get in the press it was a 228 00:10:52,730 --> 00:10:50,760 month afterwards it was kept out of the 229 00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:52,740 press for a month and this involved a 230 00:10:59,630 --> 00:10:56,640 huge UFO seen by a Japanese Airlines 231 00:11:02,210 --> 00:10:59,640 crew flying a cargo plane a Boeing 747 232 00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:02,220 into Anchorage Alaska and they were 233 00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:04,140 followed for hundreds of miles by this 234 00:11:08,990 --> 00:11:07,260 huge UFO which was described as a bowl 235 00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:09,000 inverted upon a bowl with a rim around 236 00:11:13,790 --> 00:11:10,320 it we call it the satin type 237 00:11:15,470 --> 00:11:13,800 configuration the pilots pilot and the 238 00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:15,480 crew members described it as being as 239 00:11:20,269 --> 00:11:17,760 large as two aircraft carriers placed 240 00:11:22,130 --> 00:11:20,279 side by side they tracked it on their 241 00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:22,140 weather radar to make sure that they 242 00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:24,000 weren't seeing things they were in 243 00:11:28,430 --> 00:11:26,279 contact with the FAA at Anchorage and 244 00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:28,440 also Elmendorf Air Force Base 245 00:11:33,470 --> 00:11:30,000 and they have said and they've 246 00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:33,480 maintained their story uh that that both 247 00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:36,360 locations also attracted on radar it 248 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:37,740 wasn't mentioned in the press it was 249 00:11:43,490 --> 00:11:40,560 kept very quiet it broke in Japan around 250 00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:43,500 December 30th December 31st and got back 251 00:11:48,590 --> 00:11:45,240 into the press in this country after a 252 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:48,600 month and immediately the FAA officials 253 00:11:54,290 --> 00:11:50,880 contradicted their own controllers the 254 00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:54,300 Air Force spokesman's also contradicted 255 00:11:59,690 --> 00:11:56,940 their own radar operators and told the 256 00:12:01,910 --> 00:11:59,700 press that FAA told the press that the 257 00:12:04,009 --> 00:12:01,920 radar was just a double image of the 258 00:12:05,569 --> 00:12:04,019 plane Elmendorf Air Force Base 259 00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:05,579 officially said that they were just 260 00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:07,860 picking up ground clutter the two 261 00:12:11,470 --> 00:12:09,600 smaller objects that which was seen with 262 00:12:13,970 --> 00:12:11,480 the big objects were described as being 263 00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,980 Mars and Jupiter and although they 264 00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:15,600 didn't look like Mars and Jupiter at all 265 00:12:19,610 --> 00:12:18,000 and the last I heard was that the FAA 266 00:12:21,130 --> 00:12:19,620 controllers were very upset about this 267 00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:21,140 and the Japanese 268 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:24,240 pilots and pilot and the crew members 269 00:12:28,430 --> 00:12:25,440 are still sticking to their story
