This Black Vault release reproduces a folder of public letters sent to the FAA Alaskan Region in Anchorage, mostly from March 1987 with a few from 1988 and 1989. Many writers say they heard about the materials on Paul Harvey's radio newscast. They ask for tapes, radar images, drawings and summary reports on the November 17, 1986 sighting by the crew of JAL Flight 1628 over Alaska. Several letters mention the FAA's mail-order kit of 20 items and ask about prices.

Federal Aviation Administration 701C Street Box 14 Anchorage, Alaska 99513 On 2/25/81 noticed an article in the daily paper (Newsday) called "The Complete UFO Kit". On this Associated Press article (from Anchorage, Alaska) JAL Capt. Kenjyu Terauchi reports that on November 17, 1986 his Boeing 747 cargo jet was shadowed by two belts of flight as it crossed into Alaska airspace on a flight from Iceland to Anchorage. I understand that you (the F.A.A) has a Mail-order offer to the public since there has been such enormous public interest in the November starting. I have read that your agency ( the FAA ) is offering 20 individual items , ranging from a 50 cassette tape of communications between the controllers and the flight crew , to a 30-cent copy of a FAA form summarizing the sighting. Understantant orders of less than 500 are free. I would like to order at this time the 30 cent copy of an FAA form summarizing the signing plus all other Material which would come to a total of less than $5.00 (which would be free). If you could send an order sheet, it would be most appreciated in the event I would be interested in placing an order about the $5.00 figure.
