GIANT MILE-WIDE UFO OVER YUKON TERRITORY, CANADA. © BY MARTIN JASEK, M.Sc. P.Eng.; Yukon Representative of UFO*BC, and FSR Consultant. (This report has also appeared in MUFON UFO Journal for February 2000.) INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY EDITOR, FSR. artin Jasek, born in the Czech Republic, came with his family when they emigrated to Canada in 1970. He was then six years old. He is a qualified civil engineer by profession, and holds the Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering and the Master's Degree in Water Resources Engineering, which is his specia Young and strong, he is the most active m the fine British Columbian research group UFO*BC -old friends of FSR- and he has done brilliant things for them and put Canadian research right at the forefront of UFO study. (Incidentally another eminent researcher, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, was also a Czech.) Mr Jasek’s original report, which I give below, intact. as it first appeared, consisted of nine pages. This is a nber of very handy and convenient size for us, so lam sticking to it. But there are important changes to be pointed out For Martin has just produced, in June 2000, a fine new big Report in book form, containing 43 pages and a whole lot of fresh detail on this case. (See ox on page 2.) Itis particularly to be noted that whereas Martin began with a total of 22 witnesses, he now has 31 witnesses, almost all of whom he has managed to identify and interview, All but three of this total of 31 have asked to remain no less than 14 of them have supplied hhim with drawings of the giant UFO! As all Martin’s work indicates, the basic problem in the Yukon -as in so many other regions of the world- is, that folk are scared of being ridiculed. This is why it has taken so long for Martin Jasek in the enormous and, almost totally uninhabited vastness of the Yukon (with 30,000 inhabitants, 23,000 of whom are in the main city, Whitehorse, where Martin himself lives). Another anonymous, bu e-third of the people in the Yukon are Amerindians. As we all know, these original inhabitants of America are shrewd and llous eyesight, teresting factor is that o sharp observers, usually possessed ofand all very closely attuned to Nature, These folk do not talk easily to strangers about what they know or what they have seen. intake it as certain that Martin will still go on receiving fresh information about this astounding case.

As they were travelling northbound on the Klondike Highway adjacent to Fox Lake, they spotted a huge UFO. out over the frozen lake, Fox Lake is on the west side of the hig Both of them slammed on the brakes, stopping about 570 metres (1870 fi) apart from each other (refer to map shown in Figure 2) FOX2 got out of his vehicle for a better observation. The UFO proceeded to slowly drift towards FOX2 and after a few minutes he found himself almost direetly underneath the object! FOX3 continued to observe his cousin FOX2; both men were in complete awe! (See drawings by FOX3, Figures 3 and 4.) ‘The UFO continued to move slowly and out over the hill tothe east and eventually disappeared behind it. Also, see drawing by FOX2 (F Immediately after the sighting, FOX3 noted that the time was 8:30 p.m, Both FOX2 and FOX3 could discern that the lights were attached to a smooth and solid object. At the very same time that FOX2 and FOX3 were observing the UFO move across the lake, FOX4 and FOXS ther sross the highway re 5). were approaching the southern tip of Fox Lake also heading northbound (see map, F ‘What they observed wash row, or rows, of lights slowly moving across the lake. There were other lights ‘on and around the UFO as well. See drawings by FOX4 and FOXS (Figures 6 and 7) and Fox4’s estimated size compared to known landmarks (Figure 15), The first thought w but it couldn't be. Their next thought was that a Bo landing. But that couldn’ be either, since it was moving much too slowly to be an airerafi. It took them about 2 seconds to process these thoughts when they realized that it must be a UFO! They became very concerned. They had a two-year-old son in the back seat and they were travelling towards this thing! After some debate they decided to continue their journey. After all, they could no longer see the UFO as they approached a hill that obscured their view, plus there was some traffic ahead of them, FOXS looked at the car clock, it was 8:23 pm. None of the witnesses heard any sound coming from the object. A few minutes later, when FOX4 and FOXS were passing the Fox Lake campground, they passed by two vehicles that were pulled over with no men outside looking up at the sky. They turned around and pulled ‘over to talk to them It was FOX2 and FOX3 carrying on a livel discussion, “What the ‘heck’ was that?” After a few FOX4 and FOXS left and eventually stopped at about 34 km (21 miles) further up the that it was a large truck in the We it was out over the Lake. 1s 747 was crash-highway. FOX4 walked into the lodge and said to Steve Watson, the lodge owner, “Steve, I really need a cof Steve replied “Oh you must have seen what [FOX I ] saw?” In fact FOX4 recalled seeing FOX! leaving Braeburn Lodge just as they got there. About half'an hour before the sighting described above (about 8 p.m.) FOX1 was driving along Fox Lake and had noticed a light in the distance which should not have been there. He did not think too much of it, but as he got closer to the light, he could tell that it was illuminating a long smooth curved surface. He then passed some traffic and after his eyes had readjusted to the darkness, the curved surface and the light were gone. However, his eye caught a group of rectangular lights moving over and behind a hill to the east. At this point he got an “exhilarating feeling” and sped up in order to reach a less obscured location in the valley so that he would have a chance to see the UFO again. He pulled over and got out of his vehicle but didn’t see anything more unusual. He continued his journey and pulled into Braebum Lodge where he gave Steve description of what he saw, and also made drawings for him, FOX2 and FOX3 eventually pulled into Braebur Lodge and gave their description to Steve as well. There was also a 6th witness to the Fox Lake sighting, but it is unclear what time she had driven through the area, FOX6 was driving in the vicinity of Fox Lake when she noticed a glow on her dashboard that could not be accounted for by the interior illumination of her vehicle, She leaned forward to look up through her windshield and observed a large arrangement of multi-colored lights. The interior lights in her car started to go dim and the music from her tape deck slowed down, Between 8:30 and 9 p.m., the Village of Pelly Crossing. (about a 2-hour drive to the north of Fox Lake) was experiencing its own truly incredible UFO sighting. PELI was tending his trapline northeast of Pelly when he observed in the distance to the southwest a long row of lights slowly moving over the hills. At first he thought it was a large aircraft coming down. But it was moving much too slowly. “It’s a UFO? ‘As he was walking, his flashlight happened to point in the direction of the UFO. As if reacting to his flashlight, the UFO started speeding rapidly toward him. He instinctively cupped the end of his flashlight. As soon as he completed this gesture, the UFO stopped in its track, In a matter of less than a second, it was hovering an estimated 300 yards (275 metres) in front of him! PEL had to turn his head from one side to the other to take it all in, (See graphic Figure 8, based on witness’ drawings, and the investigator's interpretation Figure 9). Again there was no sound at all coming from the object. A beam of light emanating from the bottom of the UFO swept the ground once directly undemeath the object. Was it a search beam looking for him? The UFO then drifted slowly to the right, ‘There were other beams emanating from the craft as well; a greenish-phosphorescent-color beam shone horizontally out the front (right); two beams at the back (left) rotated slowly to a horizontal position All the beams could be seen clearly as there were ice Ke Campground rd Scale (km) ——s REoxy (8) 1 2 © indicates| witness locations #100 Fox Lake area and witness loc Figure 2 crystals in the air. PEL 1 turned away from the UFO ‘momentarily and ran across a small clearing. When he tumed back to look at it, it was gone. Figure 10 shows the location of the witness and his estimated trajectory of the UFO. At about the same time, PEL2 and PEL3 were travelling northbound just south of Pelly Crossing, to the north, when they spotted a huge row of lights slowly moving from left to right. They pulled over at a gravel pit {just south of the Village to get a better look and got out of their vehicle. PEL2 noticed that the Big Dipper was just above the row of lights and compared the length of the lights to the width of the Big Dipper. They were about the same length! This observation was very important, since it established a well-referenced angular size of the UFO from P: and PEL3’s perspective, important for a more accurate triangulation and calculation of UFO size. The map shown, in Figure 10 shows the location of witnesses PEL2 and PEL3 and their estimate of the UFO trajectory. The accounts of witnesses PELI through 3 were enough to complete a calculation of UFO size. The observations of witnesses PEL4, 5, 6 and 7 about the same time provided a second triangulation. Their location is, also indicated on the map in Figure 10, The four women were taking an evening course at a small community college in Pelly Crossing (a satellite school of Yukon College). ‘They were out on a break on the front deck of the one- storey building looking towards the west when they too observed the row of lights. The row of lights was travelling, slowly almost towards them and slightly towards theFigure 3: Drawing by Fox3 of overview of UFO. Figure 4: Drawing by Fox3 of underside of UFO.

It moved slowly over the hill to the north and disappeared behind it Then there was the UFO sighting near the Village of Carmacks by 9 witnesses. The UFO was observed by two groups of people, RMI, 2, 3 and 4 were on the highway northbound in a pick-up truck just south of Carm CRMS, their 3 children, They were watching television when they 8and 9 consisted ofa husband, wife and spotted the row of lights out of their window, The locations, of the witnesses and estimated UFO trajectories are shown, re 10, he four men travelli landfill at the southern e ig together pulled over near the look at the UFO.

The object took up about a 60 to 90 degree horizontal chunk of the sky. See drawings by CRM I and CRM2 (Figures 13 and 14). CRM 1 recalls hearing about the Fox Lake UFO sighting on the radio the next day and surmised that they saw the UFO about an hour and a half earlier, about 7 p.m, The family is not exactly sure what time it was when they saw the UFO, only that it was in the evening, They observed the row of lights just to the northwest of them moving slowly to the northeast. The lights were just over the treeline, and there was no noise at all. See Figure 11 (drawing by the eldest son, CRM7, six years old at the time). The lights continued to move until they disappeared one by one behind what appeared to be an invisible wall. There was no mountain in that direction that could account for this. With the UFO sighting occurring just two weeks prior to Christmas, the three children thought that it was Santa Claus and his reindeer in the sky. An estimate of the UFO size by triangulation was not possible for the Carmacks UFO sighting, as the geometry of the witness locations in relation to the UFO was less than ideal (see “Estimate of UFO Size”). Furthermore, it was unclear whether both the family and the group of four men in the truck observed the UFO at the same time, Perhaps the UFO made more than one pass by the Village that night. There is also some evidence to suggest that this sighting event” encompassed an even larger area, as UFO reports were heard on CBC North radio the very next day mentioning sightings in the communities of Dawson, Mayo and Watson Lake. No witnesses from these additional communities have thus far come forward or been identified. Estimate of UFO Size Determined by Triangulation. By Martin Jasek. ‘A reasonably accurate estimate of the size of the UFO. (or UFOs) was accomplished through a method based on geometry called “triangulation.” Triangulation relies on the observation of an obj (in this case a UFO) from at least two different vantage points at the same time. In addition to this, it also relies on an estimate of the angular size from at least one of the witnesses. One way to deseribe angular size is by comparing the size of the UFO to something being held out at arm’s, length. An example would be “the UFO was the size of a fist at arm’s length.” Another way to describe angular size is to compare the UFO's size to something else inthe scene. An example would be “the UFO was about twice the size of that mountaintop.” Given the large number of witnesses and vantage points associated with this case, six separate calculations, of UFO size could be made. Calculation# 1. A trip to the Fox Lake sighting location was made with FOX3. The witness showed the locations along the highway where he and FOX2 pulled ‘over to watch the UFO. This distance was measured to be 570 metres apart. We know from FOX2’s testimony that he was directly undemeath the edge of the UFO at one point in time. asked to hold out his arms ir size of the UFO. This distance ‘was measured to be about 1.2 metres (4 feet) apart. The perpendicular distance from his eyes to the tip of his hands ‘was measured to be 0.4 metres (1.3) Using trigonometry, this calculates out to be about a 113 degrees of angular distance. Projecting this a forward the 570 metres distance to the UFO one obtains a UFO size of 1,710 metres or about 1.7 kilometres (1.1 miles) in length (See Figure 2) It was also of interest to obtain the elevation of the UFO in this observation, especially since it was almost directly overhead of FOX2. While on location with FOX3, the investigator asked him to take a photograph of the scene and hold his finger at the spot where the bottom of the UFO was when it was over his cousin (FOX2). An angular height of 6.5 degrees above the ground was, determined from the photograph, Using trigonometry one obtains a height of the UFO ‘of only 65 metres (213 ft) above FOX2! This is consistent With FOX3’s estimate of 4 or 5 lamppost heights. Calculation #2 and #3. FOX4 was presented with a photograph taken of the scene from his vantage point. He ‘was asked to mark on the photo the length of the UFO. He was also instructed to hold the photograph 8 to 9 inchesFigure 8: Artist's interpretatio Figure 9: UFO observed by PELI (Trudeau). of sighting based on drawing by PELT ( pper Don Trudeau).

The Ovo angles worked out to two estimates (F be 12.8 and 8.4 di ygular size for the UFO. Since it was established that FOX2 and FOX3 were observing the UFO at the same time further up the lake, we know the distance to the UFO to be about & km (5 miles). Again, projecting those angles out to that distance, the UFO size for the two estimates worked out to be 1.8 km (1.1 miles) and 1.2 km (0.75 miles) in length respectively. (F Caleulation #4.

Figure 1 Fig. 10. Map of Pelly Area. length Calculations#5 and #6. These two calculations were based on observations by witnesses near the Village of Pelly Crossing. PEL2 was very intelligent to compare the size of the UFO she observed to something in the scene. She compared it to the size of the star constellation, “The Big Dipper.” This is more accurate than estimating after the fact or from a photograph, Since she perceived the angular length of the UFO to be the same length as the Big Dipper, from the position of the stars we can deduce that the angle was about 25 degrees. (See angle projected in map shown in Figure 10). Since PEL4, 1s the UFO at about the same time from a different vantage point, we could triangulate a location of the UFO shown in Figure 10. The estimated trajectory of PEL2 was also used for a second calculation. The second calculation would not normally be considered a triangulation since it involves observations from only one vantage point. However, some weight has to be given to the estimated UFO trajectory of witness PELI that is even further away from PEL2. By projecting the angle of the Big Dipper out to these ‘wo trajectory locations, one obtains two more calculations of UFO size. The first trajectory is 2.6 km (1.6 miles) . 6, and 7 were observ away and yields a UFO size of 1.2 km (0.75 miles) in length. The second trajectory is 4.4 km (2.8 miles) away and yields a UFO size of 2.0 km (i 3 miles) in length To summarize, we have obtained the following sizes of the UFO by means of triangulation:- FOX3 with FOX2: |.7 km (1.1 miles) FOX4 with FOX2: 1.8 km (1.1 miles) FOX4 with FOX2: 1.2 km (0.75 miles) FOXS with FOX2: 0.88 km (0.55 miles) with PEL4,5,6,7: 1.2 km (0.75 miles) PEL2 with PEL 1: 2.0 km (1.3 miles) fee Figure 11: Drawing by CRM7, 6 years old.Figure 12: Carmacks area. This is consistent with witness testimony of the object, appearing to be “huge” in the sky, Several witnesses gave size estimates of their own, and these were generally smaller than those obtained through the more accurate triangulation, FOX2: 0.5 km (0.3 miles) based on relative size to lake width; FOX3: 0.21 km (0.13 miles}-comparable to a football stadium; FOX4: 0.5 to 0.7 km (0.3 to 0.4 miles -direct estimate; PELA: 1.2 km (0.75 miles) direct estimate; PE! 5 km (0.3 miles); -direet estimate nation or calculation, this By any stretch of the imag thing was BIG! Frequent asked questions regarding the sek (Added to report Why has it taken almost 3 years for this case to be made public Actually, two of the witnesses (FOX2 and FOX3) did approach a local radio station (CHON FM) the day after the event (Dee 12, 1996), and their interviews did The author was the air. However, that is as faras it went not aware of this broadeast at the time. In 1998, witness CRMI placed an anonymous call to etlyn, another Yukon UFO investigator, and Lorraine E Large dark orange lights ‘ashing in synch Figure 13: Drawing by CRM1. «8 2. 2 a 22 ‘Smalier white fights Larger orange lights (ateet light color) Figure 14: Drawing by CRMZ, mentioned that his sighting in Carmacks occurred the same evening as the Fox La ike sighting that he heard described on the radio. This was our first clue that a I UFO was seen by multiple witnesses in multiple locations, However, all we knew at that point was that the incident occurred in the past few years and in winter conditions. On Jan, 28,1999, FOX2 called us to describe his The at Fox Lake, newspaper article descri all was spurred by a local ‘ome unrelated UFO cases. He mentioned that many of the Fox Lake witnesses had stopped in at Braeburn Lodge and described their sighting to lodge owner Steve Watson. Watson was interviewed, and he confirmed that fact and was able to give us about three addi These re cont in turn provided in jonal witness id, and the additional witness names until we had a total of 22. The time period between January and October 1999 was used to locate these other witnesses, interview them, obtain their drawin, ss, and put this report together. This was complicated by the facts that most of the witnesses 2 to 3 hours’ drive from the City of Whitehorse where the investigation is based, and son of the witnesses did not have telephones. Why are the drawings and descriptions of the UFO different? Did the witnesses see the same UFO or maybe different ones? Yes, we agree that many of the drawings do look different. It could have been different UFOs, but there in the drawings could be other reasons for the differenesand descriptions: 1. It was two to three years from the time the sighting occurred to when the witnesses were asked to make their drawings. Memories do change. 2. Perhaps witnesses at different locations saw different sides of the UFO that may have had a different number! configuration of lights. The distance to the UFO also varied, so those further away would not see certain details. 3. Different witnesses spent different amounts of time on their drawings. Some paid a lot of attention to detail, while others just provided a quick sketch. Some drawings were constructed in just seconds, while others -and one in particular probably took more than 5 minutes. Artistic talent varied. 4. The UFO may have had certain lights turned off and certain lights turned on during that evening. It may have varied the “on lights” and “off lights” between the times when various witnesses observed it Note: Drawings by FOX2, FOX3, FOX4 and FOXS were very similar, with minor differences that could easily be attributable to points 1,2 and 3 above. All these witnesses were aware of the time that their sighting took place, and it has therefore been established that these four were observing the same UFO at the same time. The differences in drawings of PEL2 and PEL3 could be mostly attributable to points I and 3. The differences between the drawing of PEL | and the other Pelly witnesses may be attributable to points 2 and 4. 5. Points 2, 3 and 4 do not explain the differences in drawings by witnesses who were together during the sighting. To provide some explanation for this, one may consider the following. All the witnesses observed the UFO anywhere from ‘one minute to several minutes, During their observation the UFO traversed a considerable distance across the sky, thereby changing their perspective view of it. It likely looked much different from these different angles. Each witness was asked to draw the UFO. One would suppose that each witness would pluck one image from his or her mind that corresponded to one of these perspectives. They would likely choose the one image that made the largest impression on them. This may explain the differences between the drawings of CRM I and CRM2, and also between PEL6 and PEL.

Foxd’s estimates of size of UFO. How do you know that the witnesses are not making it up? wer lies in the demeanor of the witnesses in their interviews. Only two witnesses approached the ator -the remaining 20 had to be sought. Once found, they were reluctant to talk. However, when they were assured that their identity would not be made public, they opened up. As they were describing their sighting, apprehension was replaced by excitement, It was like reliving the experience with them, This behavior is not consistent with someone making up a story Ifit were an orchestrated hoax by all these people they would not have sat around for someone to show up at their door until two and a half years later. Itis not likely that they would have arranged to stop consecutively at Braeburn Lodge and tell a made-up UFO story to the lodge owner. I have met several times with some of these witnesses, often being invited into their homes. | ha gotten to know them fairly well and consider many of them as friends. Among the ones I have met frequently are FOXI, FOX2, FOX3, FOX4, FOXS, PEL and PEL: Even the ones I met on only one occasion, their demeanor was consistent with that of'an honest person confronted with something that they saw that they could not explain in terms of conventional means.II. AN EARLIER CASE? BY GORDON CREIGHTON artin Jasek is blessed with relative youthfulness (-a great commodity, as some of the rest of us can assure you!) -S0 it is possible that he is not aware of an earlier report that 1 published as my lead-story so long ago as FSR 32/2 (1987) That report discussed the case in which, during the night of November 17, 1986, Captain Kenju Terauchi, Japan Air Line's most experienced and expert pilot, flying a JAL Boeing 747 cargo plane (flight JAL 1628) with a load of new Beaujolais wine from Paris to Tokyo via Iceland and Alaska, landed at Anchorage, Alaska, and reported that, while at a height of 8 kms, he had been “bugged” and followed, for the last 400 miles, by one :normous UFO “two times bigger than an aircraft carrier” and by two smaller ones. The vitally important point of this story is that, as Captain Terauchi’s sketches clearly show, his big UFO seems to have been uncanni ito What Martin Jasek is now reporting as having been seen over the Canadian Yukon, right next to Alaska, by at least 31 witne Personally | find myself wondering whether they ma even have been one and the same craft. The two events (“SAVED BY JUPITER!”) were in November and December respectively, and precisely ten years apart! Owing to its greatest possible interest, I re-publish below my original 1987 article, Saved by Jupiter! It will be noted that, very fortunately for the peace of mind of the world in general, and of all UFO debunkers in particular. Mr Philip Klass, that most doughty and redoubtable of all top-flight debunkers, was on hand to reapidly defuse the entire aflair and to prove that the big, craft which had accompanied Captain Kenju Terauchi for 400 miles had merely been the planet Jupiter. (1 understand that, on learning this, Captain Terauchi’s, ‘comments -even in Japanese, the mildest of all languages and most lacking in terms of abuse -were quite unusually interesting and forthright.) ‘We do not know, alas, where Mr Philip Klass was, ten years later, when Martin Jasek’s bad piece of news erupted on the world, But Jupiter was still there, and available as always for use. So it is a total mystery why he should have seemingly fallen down on the job and, so sadly, missed an unforgettable opportunity to bring Jupiter into. operation again. G.C.Ml SAVED BY JUPITER, BY GORDON CREIGHTON. (Extract from FSR 32/2 -1987.) Aertel ast year word leaked out that soon after sundown on November 17, 1986, the three-man crew of a Japan Air Lines Boeing 747 cargo plane (flight 1628) had had an unusual encounter over Alaska. The pilot, Captain Kenju Terauchi (one of JAL’s most experienced, with 29 years of service and an enormous number of flying hours) was taking a load of new Beaujolais wine from Paris to Tokyo via Iceland and Alaska when, as he reported to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on landing at Anchorage, Alaska, he and his co-pilot and his flight-engineer observed the lights of ‘what seemed to be one very large unidentified object and two smaller ones, which followed them for 400 miles, vanishing only just before they put down at Anchorage. Having reported the sighting by radio, Captain Terauchi was instructed to descend from 35,000 ft. to 31,000 ft. and make a 360-degree circle, but he said this made no difference as the objects were not shaken off. ‘Terauchi said the weather had been fine and clear at the time and they were cruising at 525 knots and had just crossed from Canadian airspace to Alaskan in the region just north-east of Fort Yukon, when they perceived three lights which seemed to be about eight miles ahead of them. They were stalked for about 32 minutes and the lights had “stayed close to them”, According to the ground flight controller at Anchorage the large unknown object had come to within five miles of them. ae rece SS \ Coloured Lights — But No Red One The large object showed clearly on Terauchi’s own ‘on-board weather radar, but the two smaller objects had not shown on it and had only been observed visually OF EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL ORIG! Captain Terauchi said he was quite unable to explain the affair "but speculated that they had seen something of extra-terrestrial origin and of a more advanced technology”. He said he was amazed that the objects, moved so quickly and stopped suddenty, calling them “twoP rn ANE KOn RID 24h TA Re est THE BORING IN+ PROPORTION The Pilot's sketch. small ships and the mother ship’.” (Report published in The Times, London, January 6, 1987.) WIDE PRESS COVERAGE. Between December 30, 1986, and January 14,1987, this cat was well and truly “out of the bag”, and the affair got reported remarkably widely in the American and British press. According to the American weekly, Newsweek (January 12) and several Californian newspapers, Terauchi had told the American FAA authorities that the large craft “was very big -two times bigger than an aireraft-earrier He sketched it as “a huge, dark, walnut-shaped globe with a wide, flat rim, and bulges above and below”. Californian newspapers quoted Paul Steucke, the FAA spokesman at Anchorage, as having said that Terauchi had described it as “having a diameter of perhaps two aircraftecarriers placed end to end” ‘Those who have FSR 4/3 (1958) or 5/1 (1959) should look at the pictures of the huge craft of this identical shape which was photographed by the Brazilian naval photographer Barauna aboard the Brazilian naval training ship Almirante Saldanha on January 16,1958, when that vessel was near the Island of Trindade (a rocky uninhabited islet off the Brazilian coast -not ‘Trinidad in the British West Indies). The evening sky over Alaska was completely clear when Captain Terauchi and crew first spotted the three lights ahead of them, at a distance of, as they thought, some eight miles or so. ‘According to FAA spokesman Paul Steucke, Terauchi said “these three lights were respectively yellow, amber and green, But there was no red light among them - this being the international colour for aircraft beacons”. What is pethaps the most interesting aspect of the whole affair is that, according to the account published in various Californian newspapers, Paul Steucke also admitted on January 4 that the Federal Aviation Administration “had looked at the case about six weeks ‘at about the time of the occurrence)... “but since then we've gotten a lot of public interest, so we went back and re-interviewed the pilot.") earlier” So they had hoped to hush it up, but unfortunately for them one of the Japanese crew talked, and the cat was, now out of the bag, and was proving to be quite an embarrassment until a good excuse could be found for it. Paul Steucke said (Newsweek, January 12) that both US. Air Force flight controllers and civilian controllers “had reported briefly seeing echoes of what might have been another aircraft near the JAL machine. But when the radar tapes covering the period were replayed by the FAA investigators, the reported echoes could not be found.” In conclusion, Steucke said: “It’s a mystery. . . but really. . we have nothing here to investigate. The controller saw what he saw. ...As for what it could have been, on the extreme side it could have been the proverbial inknown object’, or possibly a military aireraft from the United States, Canada, or some foreign country.” And, headded, “The U.S. Air Force is now attributing the supposed radar sightings to ‘clutter TERAUCHI’S SECOND SIGHTING Then -oh horror of horrors- a week later (Daily Express, London, January 14, 1987) Captain Terauchi was reporting a second close encounter! He told FAA offeials that on the morning of Sunday, January 11, when, flying from London to Anchorage, he had again seen strange lights, which approached his jet liner from in front and passed beneath it, re-appearing at the rear. ICE CRYSTALS. By January 14, however, officialdom seemed to have the situation well under control again, According to the Daily Express, of that date, the American experts were saying that this second sighting by Terauchi was “caused by light reflected from ice-crystals below the aireraft (AE my memory is not at fault, it must be about fifteen since we last heard of a UFO that was “ice erysta Thank God, then, as we thought at the time, for ice crystals”, and for “clutter”, faithful old stand-bys, both of them! SOLVED AT LAST. But, in the end, it looks as if the last and best word: has come of course from Mr Philip Klass, one of the USA’s, two top experts on the non-existence of UFOs. And the authoritative London Times (January 29, 1987) has, disposed of the whole pesky problem with the followin neat little item: BY JUPITER New York (AP). - A Japan Air Lines pilot who claimed to have seen an unidentified flying object alongside his aircraft last November actually saw an unusually bright image of the planet Jupiter and possibly Mars, according to Mr Philip Klass, an investigator of UFO claims. FULLER REPORTS FROM CONSULTANTS AWAITED. Two of FSR’s Consultants, the NASA scientist Dr Richard F, Haines, PhD., of California, and formerJapanese Kamikazi pilot Yusuke Matsumura, have already sent us preliminary reports on this ise, but we must awail the fuller accounts that both have promised before we say more on the case Meanwhile, can we not all heave a sigh of relief and ery “THANK GOD FOR JUPITER!” felt for ‘overworked?

FOREWORD BY EDITOR OF FSR. [We heard talk last year and rumours that the British media, including the BBC, had received official instructions not to publish any reports about black triangular UFOs, and in due course I received from a long-established FSR reader , Larry Robson, of Stratford- upon-Avon, the following report.

Source obviously is not reliable, but mention of Nick Pope does presumably lend some status? U.K. PRESS TOLD NOT TO REPORT BLACK ‘TRIANGLE UFOs. UFO MAGAZINE SAYS MEDIA GOT “D-NOTICED” ON MYSTERY AIRCRAF ICNI News, thanks lan Reid for the following text, which ran in the British magazine UFO Reality, issue No. 5.] top BBC executive let slip recently that there is a D-Notice on media-reporting of the so-called Black Triangle’ The executive, who cannot be named, is the former producer ofa very popular BBC science programme. He told one of our team that the black triangle “craft”, first witnessed by hundreds in the Hudson Valley region of the United States {(mid-1980’s), then by thousands in Belgium (1989-90) and more in Britain}, has been weavily D-Noticed” by the Government. For this reason the BBC will not be reporting on the enigmatic craft, no matter how many witness reports they receive According to the former science programme producer, the reason the Government has seen fit to slap a restr notice on reporting of the Triangle is because -so the Government has secretly informed the BBC- the eraft is part of a new secret military project, and as such must be protected under the secrecy laws, If this is the case, however, it surely begs the question: If the so called Black Triangle is a secret m aircraft, then what is is doing hovering over resi areas and frightening people half to death? Something somewhere simply does not add up. ICNI News adds: As noted by Nick Pope in the previous article, it is very unlikely that the “Black “Triangle” aireraft can be explained as a secret military project. Its technical capabilities and flight behaviour suggest it neither belongs to any earthly government nor falls within the envelope of human technology. Perhaps, then, the British media are actually being warned away from reporting on a fairly obvious example of “alien” craft intruding with impunity into British airspace.| (Original file name: CNI - Flying Triangles.

The craft flew slow, 100 to 300 knots, sliding south and back to north in a continuing forward motion. The craft moved in a Z- pattern, erratic with no sound. It seemed to be suspended inflight at various positions. The craft was silent with high intensity blue arcing lights that fluctuated around the entire craft. These lights resembled electrical charges coming off an alternator’s brushes. Further observation revealed three larger lights in a triangle configuration dimly lit with variable output glowing blue to pale yellow. The UFO appeared triangular in shape, but this might bea deception as skin structure could not be seen, The FM radio receiver suffered extreme static during the event. The craft changed locations in split seconds covering, distances of approximately half a mile to over two miles instantaneously. At least four times ithhovered for 30 seconds with longest delay of about a minute and a half over the southwestern boundary of Pensacola Naval Air Station. ‘One aireraft was launched from Sherman Field about three minutes into event but, seemed unaware of the UFO and tured away in an easterly direction. When the UFO was first observed a trailing sound of a helicopter could be heard but never could be observed. The UFO left the area after fifteen minutesat 8.12 pm local time moving west along, the coast.

I has lately been reported in UFO circles, that a BBC executive recently let slip the fact that a D-Notice has been placed on the subject of “Flying Triangle” craft This matter has been the subject of previous rumours and speculation for a number of years. However, before we all start screaming “Cover-up and Censorship!” let us ne some of the information that has come to hand in recent months AS the result of sifting through UFO reports and information from confidential sources, 1 have concluded that it is extremely likely that Britain has been working, in great secrecy, on the development of a triangular Stealth aircraft. Small black triangular craft have been seen with accompanying conventional ‘craft on a number of occasions and may be controlled by a ‘parent’ eraft. THE FOLLOWING REPORT IS TAKEN FROM THE WIGAN REPORTER, PUBLISHED, IN MID-AUGUST 1996: At 1.30pm on Monday August 12,a number of people in the Wigan area heard a very noisy helicopter overhead. ‘On rushing outside to look at the copter, they found that it was a Chinook twin rotor machine flying extremely low, It was following a small black matt triangular object, about a quarter of a mile in front of it. The Chinook was moving very slowly and was followed about two minutes later by a Jaguar fighter that passed overhead as low as the copter - with its undercarriage down.” (In order to keep its speed as low as possible, no doubt!) A CONFIDENTIAL UFO REPORT THAT I INVESTIGATED IN JULY 1997 DEEPENED THE MYSTERY. THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE NEAR RUGELY, STAFFS., AT NIGHT, NEAR THE HOME OF A MR. ‘N Mr. “N? was working late at night (approx. Lam) in his home, which is situated near a heavily wooded area, when his attention was attracted by a noise “similar to a high-rewing two-stroke engine” outside. He went outside in the darkness and vaguely made out lights and the shape ofan object hovering about 150 yards away and at a height, of about 1508. Mr. ‘N’ went indoors and fetched his binoculars and he was then able to make out the shape of a black helicopter in the vicinity of the lights. It so happened that Mr. *N” was a bit of an electronics buff and had a night-vision-scope, with which he returned a few minutes later. (Tipe Tasco, Ist generation type, with night scope and also infra-red beam emission). He then viewed the aircraft again and clearly saw the helicopter, which was illuminated by the flashing strobe and navigation lights, He described it as being similar to the “Air Wolf” helicopter in the television series. He then switched on the infra-red beam and immediately noti that there was a completely blacked-out, triangular, adjacent to the helicopter. “I couldn't believe my eyes” he commented. The triangle, which was a similar size to the helicopter, reflected no light from the strobe/navigation lights and appeared to have no visible means of propulsion or support
