English translation of Terauchi statement (Meeting the Future)

We kept observing the lighte below us in left front, thinking it
was ridiculous to have lazer beam teeting at the end of a tundr~
area. Then the two lights began to move in a manner different
from ordinary aircraft maneuvers, like two bear cubs playing with
each other. We continued the flight South along a straight
course since the distance from the lights was far enough from us
and their movement was not extreme and we felt no immediate
danger. I thought perhaps it is one of those things called UFO
and taking a photo might help to identify the object later. I
asked to bring forward my camera bag that was placed in the rear
of the cockpit and began to take a picture. The area in which
the plane was flying was unchanged but the lights were etill
moving etrangely. I had ASA 100 film in my camera, mainly to
take scenery and had auto-focus on, aimed at the object but the
lens kept adjusting and never could set a focus. I changed auto-
focus to manual-focus and pressed the shutter but this time the
shutter would not close. Then our aircraft started to vibrate
and I gave up taking a photo. I placed my camera back in the
camera bag and concentrated on observing the lights.
