Yeah but the high from the drugs he was on only lasted about 9 minutes so that’s why the video is only 9 minutes long 😂

[@robambrose4199]

It's well documented. A guy in the U.S. helped to get his pilot's licence back?

[@davidhabert]

@@robambrose4199 That's true, because Japanese Airlines were so embarrassed by the captain talking to the media that he got busted to a desk job for a number of years. He then was reinstated as a pilot.

[@bon6461]

Copy that.

[@HexNottingham]

The pilot's carreer was eventually reinstated at the persistence of John Callahan, who was a division chief of the FAA at the time. He kept all the radar tracking records of the event. He now works at a tax firm in my state of VA. One, day soon, I hope to stop by and chance a visit, thank him for his heroic actions and maybe get an autograph on my Leslie Kean UFOs book and Greer Disclosure book, both of which he included his testimony in.

[@gingermegs138]

When Valentich went missing in 1978 in his cessna I witnessed around Half a dozen of these Circular UFOs performing Manouvres in the Atmosphere on a cloudless night and it was Amazing and Eerir how they could Perform Instantaneous movements from one Horizon to the other side. Yes there was a Green circular one just like Valentich Described.

[@IndridCool54]

Here’s an obscure little fact I seem to remember from this case… The cargo they were carrying was French Wine. Maybe the aliens like wine. 😎🍷

[@michaelcafaro4022]

After he reported this incident he was flying a desk for a while until the evidence presented was so overwhelming he was put back into service.

[@bigdarbs19]

It’s an interesting fact that as the number of smartphone cameras in public use has increased globally, the number of recorded UFO sightings has decreased dramatically.

[@D_Cali_Life]

Sometimes technology doesn’t work in a presence of a UAP. I saw one in 2014/2015 in Long Becah, California and 5 of us saw it. We all pulled out our phone and none of our cameras worked. It was blocked by a defensive technology on the UAP.

[@bugtusslealien3931]

That is exactly what I saw in Temecula, California September of 2021 approximately 8 pm. The large mothership during 1 weekend in September and the two bright disks the second weekend. Amazing, I'll never forget it.

[@johnathonmullis4234]

They stuck the pilot flying a desk after reporting this even though the Air Force and ATC backed up his claim. He never flew for them again. The pilot made several attempts at evasive maneuvers but the UFO followed him in a series of 90 degree turns and it went on for nearly an hour. Military jets were scrambled but they didn’t make it in the area until the UFO was gone. This was one of the sightings they couldn’t say was Venus, swamp gas, or a weather balloon because ATC had them on their radar screens at multiple locations throughout the pilots attempt to evade them. Venus, swamp gas, and weather balloon don’t chase 747 airliners around the Alaska triangle

[@Ghostbillies606]

A fucking airliner made 90 degree turns? Were you dropped on your goddamn head at birth?

[@Dra741]

I see the captain realize after a certain period of time that they have good control, and he wasn't as frightened as he was earlier they asked him if they wanted to scramble any aircraft up there and he said no cuz he heard about years ago when Pilots were killed Chasing UFOs all the pilots hear these stories, but they usually don't talk about them

[@davidhabert]

That's correct. This is the reason why Captain Kenju Terauchi refused military jets assistance because he was familiar with the Captain Thomas F. Mantell incident and didn't want to risk the safety of anyone else. However, a United Airlines plane was asked to see if they could go and take a look to see if there was an object near JAL1628. He reported back saying that there wasn't anything with the JAL plane.

[@jimrich4192]

They don't DARE talk...OR ELSE!!! 😮

[@stupididiot6116]

[@davidhabert]

@@stupididiot6116 The radar only picked up the massive UFO which was next to the 747 jet, it didn't pick up the smaller objects. But by the time that the united airlines crew got there to see what the 747 crew were reporting, the UFO had disappeared.

[@tonychen3368]

@@davidhabertThat’s because back then the MotherShip turned invisible and started following the United Airlines afterwards.

[@jimbeam1293]

The difference between Ufos early and now is that they now are not seen by radar.

[@Ghostbillies606]

Is your brain broken? The USS Nimitz ‘Tic Tac’ video came from radar detection. Are you okay? Do you wear a bib when someone spoon feeds you? Are you okay?

[@gregorygolden1296]

Heard that when the pilot first reported it he was met with doubt. So much that they ended up having him "flying a desk" AKA grounded him.....

The most credible case for me is Travis Waltons case

[@Ghostbillies606]

Are you fucking serious? Those guys made up a story to get out of a job cutting trees and clearing out brush. They still got paid and they didn’t even do half the job. They’re smart. You’re not.

The UAPs knew they will tell this story in 2023 on the history channel. They are ahead of time.

[@Christina-71]

I was 14 and living in Alaska when this happened but never heard any news report on it back then. It was just in the last 15 years or so that I first heard about it. Maybe it was for the best since I lived on an island and the only way out of course is by plane or boat. Since we had to travel by both for sports and other school activities, that would've made flying on the puddle jumpers or float planes in the middle of winter, a little more scary.😳

[@Nubbe999]

He didn't get his camera to work the first time but then a huge ufo followed the plane and did not even take one picture? And why would not the airforce send up a fighter jet for identification of an UFO

[@danielmiller2886]

He likely did get pictures, but the government made certain they took the film and any other evidence from him in Anchorage. They always do, because if they cant control it, they just hide it.

[@Dra741]

The smaller craft we're coming from the mothership which is the size of two aircraft carriers it look like a walnut with a ring of light around the perimeter, and ask John Callahan reported it always stayed 8 Mi away from the aircraft but the smaller ones came up close enough he could feel the heat from like plasma thrusters, and take a pack of cigarettes and turn it on its side, and the cigarettes on the outer side were the thrusters and he described the color originally as white and yellow but they actually was salmon plasma colors green

[@ssherrierable]

Thanks but no thanks

[@tonychen3368]

All of that is true, that is during the sweep at about ten seconds, the Gigantic mothership would stay beside the plane and then go back to its original position that it was before in one sweep, just one sweep on the radar in ten seconds.

[@cynicalcamel6143]

why the heck does the wikipedia on this incident say that the ATC didn't track anything on radar? and serious discredit the captains story? like seriously, if this really is audio from airtraffic control then isn't that blatantly incorrect?

[@grundy333]

So no military aircraft were scrambled? Wtf? They were only 60 miles from a base. Makes no sense.

[@frozengamer3030]

[@Salamander1269]

I watched Ross Coulthard interviewing Michio Kaku on what he thought of ufos. Kaku was sceptical on everything because as he said, we have no data to confirm the existence of ufos. If we don't have the technology to confirm them that does not mean they don't exist. But a radar such as in this case is good enough to confirm the objects the Japanese pilot saw and encountered in the sky. Michio Kaku said that even in this case, there is no evidence for anything. My respect for Kaku, but as this video shows there was enough evidence that a few ufos passed the plane dangerously near.

They say that the aircraft was made t land at Anchorage as if that was because of the incident but it a scheduled stop. The aircraft had come from Paris and had to refuel at Anchorage. They made their report because the incident occurred over American airspace.
