Japan Air Lines flight 1628 UFO Sighting incident November 17, 1986

Japan Air Lines flight 1628 was a UFO Sighting incident that occurred on November 17, 1986 involving a Japanese Boeing 747-200-F cargo aircraft. The aircraft was en route from Paris to Narita International Airport, near Tokyo, with a cargo of Beaujolais wine. On the Reykjavík to Anchorage section of the flight, at 17:11 over eastern Alaska, the crew first witnessed two unidentified objects "UFOs" to their left. These UFOs abruptly rose from below and closed in to escort their aircraft. Each UFO had two rectangular arrays of what appeared to be glowing nozzles or Thruster, though their bodies remained obscured by darkness. When closest, the aircraft’s cabin was lit up and the captain could feel their heat on his face. These two craft departed before a third, much larger disk-shaped UFO started trailing them. Anchorage Air Traffic Control obliged and requested an oncoming United Airlines flight to confirm the unidentified traffic, but when it and a military craft sighted JAL 1628 at about 17:51, no other craft could be distinguished. The sighting lasted 50 minutes.
