Hello and welcome to the program.
You have one warning in this episode.
We're talking about the flight 1628 cover up.
That's correct, the flight 1628 cover up.
Of course, you're talking about the 1986 Japan Airlines flight
over Alaska where there was a report of this giant mothership
along with a couple of other accompanying spacecraft with
this thing. This thing really made history
back in the day. I can remember it quite clearly.
It now looks like there was definitely a cover up involving
the US government. Some pretty sketchy stuff
happening. I'll get into that article
shortly, but just to kind of give you a background on this
thing in case you don't remember.
I think a lot of you probably do.
This was one of the UFO encounters that probably is the
best documented out there, at least in the modern era.
Now, on November 17th, 1986, this Japan Airlines Flight 1628
Captain Kenju Teriyaki. He's a seasoned pilot and a
former fighter pilot for US, for Japan's Air Defensive Force.
He reported a series of unidentified flying objects,
UFOs, trailing and maneuvering near his aircraft during a
routine cargo flight over Alaska.
Now, this incident was not only witnessed visually by the entire
cockpit crew, but was also picked up on radar, both on the
aircraft and at the FAA ground stations.
So you got a visual eyewitness from the whole crew.
You've got radar on that airplane and you've got radar
showing up on the ground. I don't know what more.
I really don't know what more you could want.
Japan Airlines Flight 1628 or JAL 1628 was a Boeing 747 cargo
plane in route from Paris to Narita International Airport in
Tokyo with a scheduled stopover in Anchorage, AK.
On board were three experienced crew members, Captain Kenju
Teriyachi, copilot Takanari Tamafuji and flight engineer
Oshio Tsukuba. The flight had already passed
Rykovich and was cruising at 35,000 feet over northeastern
Alaska when the encounter occurred just after 5:00 PM
local time. Captain Terichi was the first to
notice 2 strange lights off the port.
That's the left side of the aircraft.
Initially thinking they might be military aircraft contacted
Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control.
That's ARTCC, but controllers reported no traffic in the area.
As the lights closed in, the crew could discern their shapes.
2 small craft with what Teriyuchi described as a glowing
nozzles or thrusters. These objects performed abrupt
maneuvers, even appearing to position themselves in front of
the 747, causing Terichi to report turbulence and intense
brightness in the cockpit. So he sees this craft, he sees
these when he thinks there are nozzles on the side of this
thing that seem to be thrusters of some kind.
So you have physical manifestation of this thing.
It's producing so much light that it's lighting up the craft
and the movement of it is actually creating turbulence
that's affecting the airplane. So not only does he have, you
mean he has sensory perception of this.
He can see it, it's showing up on radar and the airplane on the
ground, but the pilot can see the light from this sink filling
up the cockpit and he can also feel the air turbulence that's
creating. So this is a very immersive
experience. Moments later, a much larger
walnut shaped object appeared behind the initial 2.
So it has the first two SCALP UFOs and then this mothership.
Captain Tericchi later described it as massive, possibly larger
than an aircraft carrier, and said it maintained A trailing
position behind Flight 620-1628 for several 100 miles.
Now, while the crew maintained visual contact, FAA radar at
Elmendorf Air Force Base and on board radar systems
intermittently picked up unknown targets matching the crew's
reported positions of the UFOs. This radar corroboration lent
the case unusual credibility and picked the interest of multiple
government agencies. Well, you know, you might be
able to just ignore it if someone tells you they saw
something or felt something, but when it's showing up on your
radar, now you've got a machine record of this thing in response
to the sighting. Anchorage ART.
CC requested the crew to perform a series of turns to determine
whether the object was following the aircraft or stationary.
According to Captain Teriucci, the objects mirrored their
turns, further supporting the theory that the phenomena were
under intelligent control. Following the incident, the FAA
launched an investigation. John Callahan, the FAA Division
Chief of the Accidents and Investigation Branch in
Washington, DC, later testified that he reviewed radar data,
voice recordings, and conducted interviews with the crew.
Callahan claimed that representatives from the CIAFBI
and military agencies were involved in a hush hush meeting
during which they reviewed all evidence, then requested that
the incident be kept quiet. Now, this isn't just anybody
saying this. This is the FAA division chief
telling you the CIA was involved, the FBI was involved
and military agencies were involved trying to cover this
thing up. Who are they covering up for?
OK, this, this is, this is madness.
This. And, and I'm just now thinking
about the drone situation in New Jersey and the FBI coming out
and crying about Trump. Oh, he's going to cut our
budget. We won't have anybody to
investigate these UFOs. Well, you're not investigating
from what I can see. You're simply trying to cover
cover up. And quite the witnesses.
What good are they? The FAA initially backed Captain
Teriucci's claims, but later appeared to downplay the
incident. Teriucci was grounded for
several months and reassigned to a desk job, though he was later
reinstated as a pilot. Lucky for this guy, he's from
Japan. I mean, wow.
Now Captain Teriyuchi, who's known as a serious, incompetent
aviator with more than 10,000 hours of flight time, remain
firm in his account. In media interviews and
subsequent statements, he described the experiences,
overwhelming and transformative, insisted that the objects were
under intelligent control and of unknown origin.
We have you 3540 thousand feet, man, and you got these UFOs just
blasting you with this bright light, putting off air
turbulence that's actually enough to rock this 747.
I mean, how could you? That's going to leave you a
little bit stunned. I think that JAL 1628 incident
remains one of the most compelling UFO sightings
involving commercial airline pilots and it's combination of
multiple eyewitnesses, radar corroboration and government
involvement continues to intrigue researchers and UFO
ologist worldwide. So often side into discussions
about the need for greater transparency and aviation
related UFO sightings and the stigma that still exists for
pilots who report such phenomena.
Of course, when you have CIA and the FBI and military assets
going in there and looks like really strong army in the FAA,
how are we going to get transparency?
They're on the ground obfuscating things.
That's what it looks like. You know, it's been 1986 has
happened. And in all that time, with all
this acknowledgement that we've had with the DoD saying, well,
maybe these things exist, with all these different government
agencies coming around being created to supposedly
investigate these things and resolve this AARO, which I
always say resolves nothing, you would think that we would get
some resolution on JAL 1628 because this case still stands
out. It's probably one of the best
examples of UFO encounter and that's never been explained.
But it looks like what we're getting is not resolution from
the government, but what we're getting is revelation that the
government was there day one trying to cover this thing up.
Let's go ahead and take a look at this article now.
This is from thedailymail.com written by Chris Mallor says
dated May 5th, 2025. Commercial pilot who narrowly
escaped UFO mothership had his story buried by the CIA for 30
years. There are going to be people
that say well I can't be believe the CIA would do that.
Well, remember, we've talked about in the podcast show the
documentation the CIA owns her own company who started at least
called in Q Tel and their whole purpose for this company is to
go around and buy emerging technology so that you and I
can't have it and it can be monopolized and exploited by the
intelligence agencies. We can only imagine what cool
inventions are out there that we don't know about because the CIA
owns the patents on them. I'll just get that right out of
the way. Now the article starts off it
says a pilot's chilling encounter with alien mothership
has resurfaced with conspiracy theorist calling it one of the
greatest cover ups in U.S. history.
I tell you right there, first sentence.
They got to get that keyword out.
Conspiracy theorist. Can somebody make sure that the
CIA has sent this author their check yet?
Because I think they must get paid per usage on this thing Out
of control. The objects, confirmed by other
onboarding ground radar, shadowed the flight before
vanishing. Then Teri Chi described the
sudden appearance of a colossal craft far larger than the Boeing
747, prompting intense speculation and debate.
Despite Captain Teriucci's detailed testimony, FAE
interviews, crew sketches of the craft, and audio recordings
between the Japan Airlines Flight 628 crew and air traffic
controllers, the UFO encounter has faced decades of debunking
efforts. Well, it's kind of one of those
things where the original story never changed, but the debunking
just continues on and on, year after year after year.
Trying to subvert the truth but never seems to be able to.
A high-ranking FAA official later claimed he was present
when the CIA allegedly suppressed the incident,
insisting Terry Ichi's sighting never happened.
The backlash reportedly cost Terry Ichi his career is.
The veteran pilot was grounded after publicly discussing the
event. Recently declassified documents
reveal the extent of evidence held by both Japanese and US
governments regarding the UFO mothership, including radio
transcripts detailing the moment the giant mothership appeared
above Flight 1628 in 2018. UFO researchers noted that these
records were quietly entered into US government's National
Archives decades after the 1986 UFO sighting and years after
Freedom of Information Act for your request to unseal the
recordings. There's no good reason that this
stuff had been kept sealed all that time.
Now, you have all these hearings lately about disclosure.
And quite frankly, I think it's a dog and pony show, a lot of it
with the UFO mafia there. What, what we really need is for
these FOIA requests to be met, for these blacked out pages to
be released unredacted. I mean, I've said this 100
times. The materials there, all they
have to do is release it. We don't need to have hearings
where Louis Elizondo gets up and waves around clearly debunk able
photos and yaps on about nothing.
We need to have hearings explaining why John Greenwald
can't get the foyer request that he's asked for and why when he
does get paperwork so often times is blacked out.
Just release the files. It's very simple.
We don't need these endless meetings with government
whistleblowers. Just give us the stuff that you
have. They're guarding this stuff.
Like I said, Epstein list or something.
It's out of control. Oh my.
The article goes down and says Teriyaki's flight from Paris to
Narita International Airport near Tokyo crossed over eastern
Alaska on November 17th when the 747 airliner spotted the two
strange lights and enormous mothership over US airspace.
The bright yellow and white objects reportedly flew
dangerously close to the aircraft, causing Terucci to
radio for air traffic controllers in Anchorage for
help. We see irregular pulsating
lights, just there is a large black chunk just in front of us.
Distance is 5 miles. It seems to be a spaceship.
The pilot said. I'm picking up a hit on the
radar. Approximately 5 miles and trail
of your six O clock position. Anchorage ATC said during the
1986 sighting, Anchorage Air Traffic Control reported
spotting something on radar near the airplane and contacted the
military to make sure they didn't have any planes near
Flight 1628. NORAD, the military command
responsible for defending the airspace over the US and Canada,
confirmed there were no military flights anywhere near Teriucos
plane that night. According to the transcripts
released in the National Archives, Anchorage Air Traffic
Control confirmed with the military command center that
there was some sort of surge on the radio near flight 1628, but
the radar could not identify what it was.
The ex fighter pilot with over 10,000 hours of experience
attempted to escape the small UFOs before they suddenly
disappeared. That's when Terry spotted what
he described as a gigantic spaceship.
According to Church's written statement given to the FAA, this
UFO mothership was the size of two or three aircraft carriers,
making it possibly 3000 feet in length.
The FAA's log of the radio calls reveal that Teriyushi was given
permission to do whatever he needed to do to get away from
the massive UFO, including dropping more than 5000 feet in
the air. By the time other planes arrived
in the area, the mothership vanished and no other pilots saw
the giant craft. Now they kind of gloss over here
the fact that the whole crew seen this thing.
OK, so it wasn't that just one person saw it.
Flight JL1628B747 Jumbo Cargo encountered 2 spaceships and a
mothership about 50 minutes above Alaska, Teriucci wrote in
his report to federal air officials.
There was no danger, but it created many questions that a
human being cannot answer, he added.
After a brief FAA investigation, I think we can add in C and the
CIA, FBI, military, DoD cover up.
Terry Uchi spoke to Kyoto News Journalist about what he had
seen over Alaska in November 1986.
The thing was flying as if there was no such thing as gravity.
It speed up, then stopped, then flew at our speed and our
direction so that to us it appeared to be standing still.
The pilot told reporters the FAA Brandon Terichi is a UFO
repeater, noting that he had reported two other UFO sightings
before the November 17th incident and two more in January
1987. Japan Airlines eventually
grounded the pilot for speaking to the press and reassigned him
to a desk job or their ego being depersoned.
However, one senior official with the FAA at the time
believed the Japanese pilot's story and claimed that CIA was
suppressing the evidence. John Callahan was charged with
overseeing the FAA analysis of this high profile case.
He collected critical data including the radar tapes, air
traffic control voice recordings and their written statements
from the JAL flight crew. Now think about this.
This is a high-ranking FAA officer investigates.
He says, man, this guy's a band D person.
But at the first in the first line of this article, this
author refers to anybody who has questions about this as a
conspiracy theorist. I mean that is some insulting
low quality journalistic work. They should be ashamed of
themselves honestly. Article goes on.
It says when we got all done with our briefing, it took a
couple of hours. The CIA man stood up and said
this event never happened, we were never here, you're all
sworn to secrecy and we are confiscating all this data,
Callahan told the alerted King Live.
In 2007, John Greenwald of the Black Vault, a website devoted
to archiving declassified government documents, discovered
that more than 1500 pages of evidence tied to the Flight
1628, the National Archives and shared them online with the
public. Along with the interviews with
all three witnesses on board to explain all the FAS records of
the incident, radar simulations of what Tara actually saw, and a
mountain of request to the FAA for the public seeking
information of the Alaska UFO. Now there you go, there's John
Greenwald, Black Vault. Just like I said.
Who breaks the story? John does.
How did you break it? By finally getting the paperwork
from this stuff decades later. This is what I'm talking about.
We don't need more dog and pony shows at Capitol Hill.
We don't need Louis Elizondo up there trying to sell his book.
We don't need Louis up there waving around obviously fake
photos. We don't even need any more
whistleblowers from the deep state.
We just need for the deep state, this collection of intelligence
agencies and and the military industrial complex to release
the material that we've asked for.
That's all I've got to do. This is this is a simple
example. A UFO spotted on radar on the
ground in the airplane, eyewitnesses and they cover it
up for decades when it should have been released immediately,
should never have been covered up.
And then when it's brilliant, an open shut case that this thing
was covered up. I mean, the fact that held on to
this report for so long, it wouldn't share it.
And what's the response by the Mockingbird Media?
Well, the first sentence they call anybody who questions this
conspiracy theorist nonsense. I should tell you right there, a
couple things. One, the government's burying
this stuff even when you have a really open shut case like this,
they're covering it up even when they're FAA guy on the grounds
telling you, wow, this is this is an unsolved UFO case.
The intelligence community and the military community is coming
in. They're covering it up and the
mainline media is going along with it and helping them cover
it up and attempting to Deperson and insult anybody who has
questions, just simply asking a question.
Hey, I wonder what happened there Makes you a conspiracy
theorist. No, it doesn't.
It makes you a normal, curious person, and this event proves
that. Truly remarkable stuff.
I I just think this is so fascinating that we have a case
like this with so much evidence, so many reliable witnesses, and
it's buried for all of these years.
And we're seeing how when the information is finally released,
it does have somewhat of an impact.
But it's to me, this is much more impactful than anything
that happened on Capitol Hill last week.
This is a kind of hard investigative work that people
like John Greenwald are doing that needs to be looked at,
needs to be examined. And this is how we get actual
disclosure is by examining the facts, not hiding the facts for
decades and calling people names that would like to have a good
long look at them. Until next time, this is UFO
warning over and out.
