This FAA file, released through the National Archives and The Black Vault, collects 1987 newspaper clippings about Japan Air Lines Flight 1628. Capt. Kenju Terauchi reported that lights and a huge walnut-shaped object followed his 747 cargo jet over Alaska on November 17, 1986. The articles quote FAA spokesman Paul Steucke saying the radar returns were a split image and military clutter, and report Philip Klass's explanation that Terauchi saw Jupiter and Mars. Terauchi's second sighting in January was attributed to village lights reflecting off ice crystals.

ON THE COVER 44
Young Prince Edward's
sudden and surprising exit
from the rigorous life of the
Royal Marines has all Britain
wondering: Is he soft or
courageous? Is his old man,
Prince Philip, a bully or a
defender of proud, healthy
tradition? After all, military
service didn't seem to
hurt the Princes Charles and
Andrew. Still, it may just
be time to rethink those
centuries-old rules of
royalty
