The Day UFO Chased A Jumbo Jet
On November 17, 1986, a routine cargo flight turned into one of the most baffling UFO encounters in aviation history. Japan Airlines cargo flight 1628, a Boeing 747, was cruising through the cold skies of Alaska when something extraordinary happened.
Captain Kenju Tachi, with over 10,000 flight hours, was at the helm. As the jet reached 35,000 feet, two unidentified objects appeared at their 11 o’clock position, hovering about 2,000 feet below. These massive objects, each the size of an aircraft carrier, moved with an agility that left the crew in awe.

- The objects were visible to the naked eye, shining with an intense brightness.
- They performed impossible maneuvers, darting in front of the Boeing and illuminating the cockpit.
- The crew felt heat emanating from the crafts, as if drawn into an invisible vortex.
After several minutes of this cat-and-mouse game, a gigantic walnut-shaped craft appeared, seemingly the mother ship. Captain Tachi reported the sightings to Anchorage air traffic control, where radar operators confirmed the strange crafts shadowing the jumbo jet.
Despite detailed sketches and descriptions provided by the crew, the FAA’s investigation was inconclusive. Officials dismissed the sightings as misidentified military exercises or hallucinations. The story gained traction but was quickly buried, leaving Captain Tachi’s reputation in question.
The Exeter UFO Incident
Just after midnight on September 3, 1965, 18-year-old Norman Mascarella was hitchhiking home in Exeter, New Hampshire. As he walked along a dark road, a sudden intense light pierced the darkness.
Initially thinking it was a truck, he soon realized it was a massive object pulsating with an intense red glow, hovering silently above the treetops. Frozen in fear, he dove into a ditch as the craft glided effortlessly through the night sky.
