This compilation, released through The Black Vault, holds Federal Aviation Administration replies to John Greenewald, Jr.'s FOIA requests about the November 17, 1986 sighting involving flight JL1628. A June 2001 Alaskan Region letter offered about 107 pages outside FOIA and warned they would be destroyed. Letters from August and September 2009 say the records were destroyed under FAA Order 1350.15C. The only record found was a two-page ASIAS Brief Report noting unidentified traffic seen on radar by the crew and ATC near Fort Yukon.
