How utterly insulting to tell the the veteran crew of JAL 1628 that what they were seeing was Jupiter and Mars. This is a fabulous and authentic case if ever one existed.

Swamp gas, yep, thats what it was. A concentrated pocket of swamp gas traveling at around 500 mph between FL31 and FL35 occasionally doing 360 degree turns. Yep! Typical of swamp gas.

That's unsettling. I just did some research. This happened 1987. I wasn't born yet, but these craft were following that plane over populated Alaskan cities, not far from where my parents were (and still are) living. Finding the news stories 1st hand is frankly chilling. Whatever is going on, these phenomena are diverse, completely beyond our knowledge, and I can't think of many more imperative initiatives than investigating what the hell is going on with the utmost scientific rigor and determined commitment to discover and learn objective truths about what we are encountering.

Don't you hate it when Jupiter and Mars start messing around with the radar..... And those ice clouds, you'd think the people employed to pilot the skies might know the difference between reflections and huge flying craft.

These aircraft need to have cameras mounted on the top and bottom of each to record such events. 🤔🤨

Ive seen ufo crafts together with my family wayback in early 80s, however my brother and cousin even saw the creatures live, we knew that they exist before we even knew that there was an internet in Botswana, there were no cell phones, computers they are everywhere, the only questions we must pursue is where they come from, and why they dont introduce themselves formally, and what do they want from us, no more about do you believe that they exist or not

The type of power you have to have to keep something that big in the air like this is astounding

I’ve always found this incident to be highly credible particularly since the crew was Japanese, they are quite serious like most pilots.

What the hell is wrong with people who were not there who want to change someone else's direct experience? If you have ever been in a Control Tower during an incident - onset to resolution - then you know this tracks as completely true. It is a function of Critical Incident reporting and analysis to set out all details of an incident to feed into any systemic analysis of these systems. So Pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, and Surgeons and surgical and medical theatre staff report critical incidents to prevent further systemic failure and they do so without fear of personal retribution. That is how you stop accidents. This is true. The JAL pilots and crew were right on top of their game and so was the control tower and radar operators. Although this is a re-creation it is completely solid.

These were experienced pilots. You mean to tell me they didn't know the difference between a city-sized craft following them with potentially life-threatening consequences (the turbulence as it got closer), Jupiter & Mars, or ice crystal reflections? That's a hard reach, skeptics.

I'm not sure what it is about these Quest TV videos but the actors are always tremendously good at their job

I have an acquaintance that is an Air Traffic Controller.

This is one of my favorite UFO sightings of all time. Three human beings eyes on target. ATC radar on target. Then an FAA investigation where the computer software engineers and the FAA computer hardware engineers have a combat. FAA section director who had the same rank in civil form as an General was assigned to the investigation. Callahan and his wife were FAA employees and Callahan was an FAA investigator while his wife was a supervisor FAA controller.

This is one of the best UFO cases in history as pilots spotted this and told about it. Many times pilots are told to never talk about this or you will be fired.

This incident is amazing. Its like these UfO's were testing our behaviors.

Typical UFO skeptics, 'Oh it' s Jupiter', full of crap as usual. Great vid Quest, more please.

I remember reading about this incident in our local news paper back in the 80's.

These are very experienced pilots, who would know what they saw and be able to recognise any natural cloud issues I’m sure. Shame the Airforce Base didn’t scramble up a fighter or two to check it out.
