On November 17, 1986 a Japanese Boeing 747-200F flight from Reykjavik to Anchorage encountered multiple UFOs.  The event lasted 50 minutes, included radar data from multiple locations and was witnessed by the three crewmembers of the aircraft.  Subsequent analysis was ultimately inconclusive, with explanations like planets and stars on the horizon and ground lights reflected off of ice crystals all but disproven.  While radar data supports the possibility of unknown craft operating near flight 1628, additional visual collaboration could not be ascertained.  Join the conversation and see if you can help explain what these crew members experienced over the skies of North America.
