|
NEW YORK A Japan Air Liner pilot who claimed to have seen an Unidentified
|
|
Flying Object over Alaska last Novenber was probably seeing an unusually bright
|
|
image of the planet Jupiter, an investigator said yesterday.
|
|
|
|
Philip Klass said astronomical calculations show that on Nov. 17, when the UFO,
|
|
Jupiter was extremely bright and was visible precisely where the pilot reported
|
|
that he saw the UFO.
|
|
|
|
Mars was just below and to the right of Jupiter, and may explain the pilot's
|
|
initial report that he saw two lights, Klass said. Klass, an editor with the
|
|
magazine Aviation Week and Space - Technology and a longtime investigator of
|
|
UFO sightings, said the pilot's claims that the object followed him as he made
|
|
a 360 degree turn are contradicted by what he told fight controllers.
|
|
|
|
John Leyden, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington,
|
|
quoted from a summary of conversations between the pilot's and ground
|
|
controllers in which the pilot reported losing sight of the object after
|
|
completing his turn. The object then reppeared in a few monents, according to
|
|
the summary.
|
|
|
|
The pilot, Capt. Kenjyu Terauchi, was over Alaska en route from Europe, via
|
|
Iceland, to Tokyo when he claimed to have sighted the object.
