This FAA Alaskan Region folder, released via the National Archives and The Black Vault, collects public letters written in early 1987 about the November 17, 1986 sighting reported by JAL Captain Kenjyu Terauchi. Many writers ask for the FAA form summarizing the sighting, price lists, radar photos or transcripts, and FAA staff reply with order forms. A San Francisco Chronicle clipping in the folder describes the FAA's $194.30 mail-order package and Philip Klass's conclusion that the pilot saw Jupiter and possibly Mars.

Dear Sir: I'm retired, and I can't afford to really buy any material on that UFO sighting by the Japan's Air Lines pilot, but I'd sure appreciate anything that I could get about it, as my time is short. If not, thank you anyway, I know your department is quite busy with other matters. Sincerely Yours, Robert F. Lawson ( Justincase ) 56 Chester Ave. Deepwater, N. J. 08023
