Public letters to the FAA (first folder)

FAA via National Archives / The Black Vault · 89 pages · text by GLM-OCR

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.

Gentlemen:

On Thursday, March 5, 1987, radio commentator, Paul Harvey, informed the public there were pictures and/or literature available from you of an important U.F.O. sighting.

Will you please inform me of the cost of this material, or send it to me if there is no fee for it?

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Dijie L. Perkins
