I spend so much time to create these videos. If you appreciate my work, please hit the like button below the video. I would really appreciate. Thank you! Oh, and... don't forget to suggest me what air crash to recreate next.

34 years as an airline pilot. Saw nothing like this. But I believe the crew!

Every time a pilot reports a ufo sighting, seems he gets grounded or his reputation is sullied. I wonder how many sightings go unreported because of fear of repercussions. Pretty scary stuff.

those ufo's were really interested with that ''weird big flying this with 4 stuff on its wings and something written on its side''

This is one of the most credible sightings ever. The Air force tracked it. After it was all send and done it was swept under the rug.

Someone with 10K hrs in the air "I know what I saw" Someone with 0 hrs on the ground: "You didn't see anything"

Aliens were just admiring this pre-historic aircraft.

Excellent recreation and knowing how the Japanese put so much value in a code of honor, I must believe the pilots sharing of this event.

The interesting bit is, the B-2 Spirit (flying wing) had its first (official) flight just three years after this incident, and even though the UFO aren't described in heavy detail, it's very interesting they're depicted as flying wings here.

I used to fly for a Major Airline. I was in a Hotel Elevator in Manhattan around 1990 and a JAL Crew was on the Elevator also, I asked the JAL Captain what he thought about this, he replied in broken English, that he knew this particular Captain well, and added, "if Captain so and so said he saw it...he saw it"

I believe the captain more than the government .

This episode is extremely special and extraordinarily presented by TFC. Hats off to the team. What a moment! I trust the captain's words in this case.

The only problem with this representation is the stated size and shape of the UFO. The pilot even drew a picture of a large sphere about the size of an aircraft carrier. No contrail was mentioned as UFOs use a different form of propulsion and apparently cancel inertia/drag. I remember this case very well. He was initially dismissed because he dared mention his encounter.

Alien pilot #1: "Hey look at that thing behind us." Alien pilot #2: "Yeah. That's what they use to transport themselves around here." AP1: "Pretty tiny for a transport. And what's all that gas it's spewing out of it?" AP2: "They're using combustive fuel." AP1: "STILL? After all these decades?! Don't they realize they're poisoning themselves??" AP2: "I know, RIGHT? DUH!" AP1: "Let's freak them out with a 45-degree turn at 3,000 mph." AP2: "LOL OK."

These videos are incredibly well crafted, thank you for spending so much time on them!

I am a retired from the Italian Navy. I was emploied in the Naval Aviation (Seaking manteinance). About 1886 I saw my first UFO when walking with a friend in the evening. Later a new experience inside the military base of Luni (Italy)i in 1990. Nothing happens when I was in flight. But during the moments of rest, chatting with pilots and flight operators, I listened to many stories of UFO sightings that none of them had officially declared for fear of being "put on the ground", working behind a desk.

I just want to say to the flight channel that you're doing a tremendous job of making these videos and I truly appreciate your quality of imagery and level of detail. Please don't change a thing!! Well done.

The captain was flying a desk after he reported the incident. Dr. Richard Haines investigated the case and helped the captain get his wings back.

THANK YOU for your diligence in offering your viewers incredibly detailed content. Your execution of available data is flawless.

One of the most fascinating incidents in aviation history

if only this was a regular passenger jet, there would have been so many more witnesses

"JAL soon grounded him for talking to the press, and moved him to a desk job. He was only reinstated as a pilot years afterwards." Damn. That is harsh.

The main object was reported, by the experienced crew, to be the shape of a walnut and 2 football fields wide. You do not even mention it??? This is a well known case with lots of extra info out there, including the images drawn by the captain.

I distinctly remember this because it made the news around the world.

This pilot was grounded for about 2 years. Some people went to bat for him and he was reinstated.

pilot: what is that? FBI: you didn't see anything. pilot: yes i did FBI: you're fired...

This is a very good video. Of course it's a simulation but it gives a sense of what it would feel like to be up there in a plane with an unidentified object following. Not for the faint hearted

Always enjoy your work. This one was really fun to experience.

My gramps was a WWII fighter pilot and then flew for Pan Am. He said he had seen a lot of UFOs throughout his career.

If these things are military aircraft being tested they shouldn't be playing with commercial flights

Great representation of the event, felt like a movie, well done!

Unbelievable stuff dude,. Your videos are so awesome on so manly levels,good work.

Wow, this must have been very scary for the crew. I think there always should be a camera on board, to film incidents whenever it's needed. Then you have some actual proof.

I am glad that they have not accused the pilot with schizophrenia and carried out an investigation!

TFC! You really did a great job of your videos! I cant stop watching your videos from two days ago (and i can confirm i will run out of data soon lol, but im not regret it!) because your videos is enjoyable and really have a detail information abt what happened in those event. Keep the great work TFC! If i can request, can you please make more of a ufo sighting from plane please? Like that one got mentioned in this video "mantell ufo incident 1948" etc. I really want to see a video of kind that events, they are so interesting! Thank you!

Grounded, as per usual, meaning that pilots generally fear reporting sightings, and you cannot blame them. It really effected these pilots in such a way that they were compelled to report what they saw, which makes it more than credibal. SpaceX has covered up sightings, though too late because captured by other on their live stream

The most underrated and understated episode in UFO history

UFO: “These guys left their blinkers on, we were just trying to be good galactic-citizens”

On a related note...in 2020 the US government requested that all National Forest Service offices in Alaska submit all reports of "large, hairy, unidentified primates." UFO sightings are more common in Northern Alaska than elsewhere. I know an Eskimo woman from the Russian side who says they used to see them a lot and always assumed they were American secret aircraft. But then she moved to Alaska and rural Alaskans were seeing the same UFOs. I know a former Aeroflot pilot, now living in Alaska, who had some hair raising experiences with them.

They've been watching us for eons. Long before aviation, long before electricity, and we're only just now seeing them. Time moves different out there.

"What the goverment cant explain, it hides or denies"

That awkward moment when you watch a lot of aviation-related channels but also a lot of creepy paranormal-related channels and you got really confused about which one this video was one for a minute.

I know I’m late to this, but I believe I saw the same object as these pilots did. I’m only referencing the first two, not the mothership (darn it). I hadn’t heard of this case until after my experience, and it’s the only one similar. I saw what looked like a HUGE bay of stadium lights (rectangular grid with individual, circular white bulbs) flying in the sky. I won’t go further if this is a dead comment section, but I was amazed. I absolutely believe Captain Terauchi. I saw it too

Amazing channel, I have subscribed!!

Nothing will get you grounded faster than claiming you saw a UFO.

There are more details of this incident that can be found online. The pilot, who has an impeccable background, stated the unknown craft was the size of an aircraft carrier. It was enormous.

Dude that's crazy how this video now has 8.4 million views.

The pilot was having a conversation about aircraft in the vicinity with flight control. Why would anyone doubt that? Eventually it was confirmed on radar. I can't imagine why the pilot was treated the way he was. You can bet it had a chilling effect on other reports.

When I see that the Japanese pilot had 10,000 hours flight time and keep in mind what Japanese Airlines and the FAA put this guy through, I can almost cry. This man was frightened and maintained his cool and they punished him for doing his job and then some. I don't know who John C. is but I do know that an FAA official named Calahan backed this pilot to the hilt. I've seen the official at a lecture speaking. The very picture of a man you would want on your side in a situation like that. It's obvious to me that the FAA and everyone else is lying. It's not fair to what they're doing to the pilots. Thank God these craft aren't hostile, but they are curious and they've been known to fly to close causing an aeronautical effect on aircraft. They should think of the safety of the flying public.

6:50 for a second I thought ATC asked the pilot to do a "360 degree" turn. I was like damn! ATC suddenly wants these guys to do an air show in mid flight while aliens are trailing them WTH? then I realized... oh heading 360... haha.

I like Flight Channels detailed reports,especially also this story about UFO's in November 1986 !

I love that these videos show the actual knobs and buttons that the pilots use to do certain maneuvers that's a really good idea..... I certainly didn't know how a 747 would make a right turn until I saw this. It is a very cool idea. Not that I think I will ever know how to fly a plane but very interesting lol

my mother in law on her broom gets often mistaken as an UFO

Even if aliens exist, they're probably laughing at us

Out of all these close encounters in the sky this one seems the most intriguing to me, cuz there's no plausible reason the Japanese crew and the ground crew and the radar would be making this up it's not that they were hallucinating or anything like that

Thanks for the Upload 👍 !!

By the way, the incident occurred two years before the official presentation of B-2 stealth bomber...

Aliens:is that how humans get around? Alien 2:yup Alien:damn it’s slow Alien 2:let’s freak them out by going zoom zoom

I saw a doc about this encounter and the pilots specifically described it as a gigantic acorn shaped craft, not this seemingly conventional “flying wing” shape that humans have had for almost 70 years. is this a different Japan airlines encounter over Alaska?

I see those triangle UFOs all the time and I have pictures of them on my iPhone. They seem to like to be in the flight paths around the airports in major cities. I think they are ours not aliens.

You must spend a lot of time on these videos as they are really excellent!!! The quality of the production only accentuates the realism and keeps everything very interesting. Thank you again.

I saw one of those in real life once. I noticed two planes looking like they were going to collide... up in the sky at night... And when they got close... the one on the left suddenly circled around it really fast and just flew off super fast... like someone holding a pen light just drawing a circle and moving away so weird.

It's hilarious how the people on the ground say what the people in sky were seeing lmao

Whew chillllll why did I have chills the whole time while watching this episode…

I don’t care about what he saw. But the graphics is damn realistic

I was laying in my hammock in the summer 15 years ago and 2 orbs the size of VW Beetle flew low over my house without a sound, sudden acceleration they were gone. I have small planes fly over all the time and they make a lot of noise. These were low, silent and fast!

It's really odd that they're calling these UFO especially since I used to see something that looked exactly like that taking 2 flights off of the air base in Norfolk Virginia. It flew right over a funeral at a graveyard very close to the end of the runway.

Thanks! Great video!!

I know "flying" saucers are real. I saw one last night when my wife threw one at me.

imagine the technology were missing out on

These sightings are interesting - I saw the phoenix lights up close and real personal... my room mate at the time saw them with me. It was pretty cloudy but even when it's cloudy in Phoenix there are still breaks every where... whatever this thing was it was flipping huge. You could feel it displace the air above us... that was how we both described it and why we both looked up. I wasn't moving fast, but it wasn't slow or hovering - it just made a pass above us at I would say maybe 1500 feet. It was silent. Completely silent just floating on by - at first there were two lights shining down towards the ground, round, reddish orange spaced apart from each other and then a third came out from behind the cloud - then you could just barely see the faint outline of a triangle that encompassed the three lights... it turned right in comparison to us and you could see it banking right then it hit a cloud and it was gone. Just disappeared behind the cloud, no more lights, no sound, the air lost that pressurized feeling and we couldn't find it again anywhere in the sky. We never really made a big deal out of it and told a few of our friends - and then like two days later they were on the local news and he and I both just about shit our pants. We just happened to be watching the news and what other people described was almost exactly the same as what we saw... it was freaky. The thing is - these "aliens" don't have to be from another planet - our oceans are large enough for any number of beings to live and thrive well outside our ability to find them. The Oceans are HUGE compared to the amount of land on the planet - and there are plenty of food sources, enough water to make hydrogen as a fuel source - I mean I don't know any more than anyone else but I do know they could be here, have been here for millions of years and we would never know unless they want us to find them

First time watching excellent you have a new fan !

I saw something exactly like this over 30 years ago in the desert in Calif. We were on a dirt bike weekend and sitting at our campfire. In the desert, without the glow of city lights you can see for miles. As we sat you could see commercial aircraft as they flew by appearing to move slowly because of the distance between us and them traveling in and out of our entire field of view, which was as far as the eye could see. Suddenly, I/we saw a bright light appear above one these aircraft. While it looked close it was probably a good distance from the plane. The object then moved closer to the plane made like a 90° turn and began to parallel the plane. It did this for about five minutes then made another 90° turn and sped off. Who knows how fast that thing was going because it made the jet look like it was standing still. The moves all happened without the object changing speed at all. The only speed change happened when it left.

Please do more of this mysterious cases! I love how you explain them so well!

No one took a photo? A fascinating event. Thank you.

Fine job Flight Channel!!!

The aliens are probably going to post some pictures on instagram like “WOAH FLYING OBJECT???”

I know of this UFO story it is always been one of my most fascinating UFO stories because it was confirmed by the radar and the eyewitness testimony and description by the pilot

IN MY 23 YEARS AS THE COMMANDER OF THREE COMMERCIAL AIRLINES I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE EPISODES, BUT I HAVE THEM ALL FILMED BECAUSE ON EVERY TRIP THE FIRST THING I CARRY IS MY HIGH REPRODUCTION CAMERA.-

Actually, the other large object was described by the captain as looking like a giant Acorn much bigger than his 747....Stealth bombers are big but not that big, and they aren't very agile or fast.

When I was in the navy in the 90s on some training exercise in the Atlantic, I was standing starboard aft lookout on the mid or 4-7 watch when I saw an aerial contact at about 290 relative bearing about 200ft high. I was sleepy and didn’t see it appear but it was bright white. At first I thought it was a surface contact and I was dumbfounded and embarrassed how it got this close without me reporting it. I was worried about getting in trouble for not reporting it sooner. Then I reported it to the bridge and CIC saw nothing on their screens. As I was talking to them and assuring them there was definitely a contact somewhere a mile or more out ( hard to judge distances at night even for experienced lookouts) when it suddenly streaked of to our stern and was gone in an instant. No one much cared. Everyone was tired but I know I saw a contact that streaked off in a way no military aircraft I ever saw could even come close to doing. True story and told exactly as it occurred. The whole thing only took a few minutes at most.

Yes, I remember this story, one of a few with strong evidence and many questions unanswered, good video and summary here of what happened.

Tot op de dag van vandaag is het gevaarlijk voor beroepsvliegers om er melding van te maken. Het kost je carrière.

This is the Sunday funnies. Time to drink and laugh

I like how the aliens have not appeared since better recording technology came about around the world. It’s like they don’t want to be seen on HD 4K graphics.

Seen a documentary on this a few year back. It seems legit on all levels.

Sincerely, Thank You.

I appreciate this video, your videos are always well done. I like that you have reported this UFO incident, as I have seen 3 UFOs up close in my lifetime. I am not talking about some small far away light, I saw a UFO where I could have literally thrown a rock and hit it. It was a silent cylinder about 80 feet long with three large portholes on the bottom. It was no more than 20 feet above the trees on the other side of the road from me. This was back around 1980. I have seen two others up close, though this was the closest. I don't know exactly what they are, or where they come from, but they are real. Thanks for this report.

As always when it comes to recreation, this is the best channel on KZfaq !

My late father worked in aerospace. He developed programs, at the end of his career his security clearance was higher than anyone in “security “ and worked on black programs inside a vault (now declassified) Earlier on he was testing a product that was being trailed by Air Force pilots. They saw “something “ and it appeared on radar where Dad could verify it. It took off and disappeared (not like anything possible with our technology. They all reported the incident and moved on with life.

As a flight commander from the Andromeda Galaxy Star Fleet Command I say "Greetings, earthlings."

With all our advanced technology and very competend pilots,it's hard for me to fathom that we are in doubt of UFOS.I am sure that we are not alone.It is only a matter of time,soon we get a surprise

One thing to keep in mind: "UFO" is not synonymous with "alien space craft". UFO simply means the object could not be identified.....i.e. has not been determined as to what it was. Many years ago, I was outside my home, at night, and saw three, pale-white objects fly over me in a delta formation. "UFO's" I thought! I ran inside and retrieved my dad's 10 power telescope and returned to my front yard. A few minutes later another flight of pale objects flew over on the same path. The telescope revealed a group of ducks, with light from the town reflecting off their white bellies. Yes, the first flight was rightfully categorized as "unidentified flying objects" (if only for a few minutes), but they certainly weren't spaceships.

When the JAL pilot nixed the request for a military intervention, he referenced the "Mantell flight of 1948". This was a seminal event during the UFO flap of 1948-1950. Pilot Captain Mantell was one of three P-51s that had been scrambled to investigate a sighting of a a large UFO. I think the UFO was confirmed on radar, but the point of the reference by the JAL pilot was, Captain Mantell saw the object and said, "It's gigantic and right above me", after which comment he proceeded to climb to try to close with it. The other two fighters fell back. What happened next is legendary in the annals of UFO sightings and attempted intercepts by manned aircraft. Mantell climbed upward, but, the details released by the USAF about what followed. are very sketchy. Captain Mantell's P-51 crashed, killing him. It has been speculated he flew above his safe oxygen level, passed out and crashed. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't... The glib official explanation was this, "Captain Mantell was killed trying to reach the planet Venus", which they stated could have been visible, even though the flight took place during the afternoon on a clear, sunny day. Mantell was also a decorated WW2 combat pilot. This incident has spawned at least one science fiction movie and also several individual scenes replicating it, some of which included the twist of the plane disappearing from the sky, never to be seen again. There HAVE been several actual strange events of private planes disappearing and/or crashing without good explanation as to the cause. These have been reported with varying details peculiar to the individual incidents. Apparently the pilot didn't want any harm to come to anyone he may draw into the incident with him. I doubt very much at that point, the JAL pilot himself had any doubts, but what he had been interacting with for so long above the Northern skies was NOT an aircraft of Earthly origin, due to its massive size and its flight behavior. More details of the JAL flight are available in other sightings compilations, as is the classic case involving Captain Mantell. Check it out with some competent DD...

The internet says "the aircraft was en route from Paris to Tokyo with a cargo of Beaujolais wine." That explains it. Looks like the pilots decided to sample some of the cargo.

Every pilot gangsta until the Enterprise show up

Area 51 janitors must have took the ships on a joyride :P

A lot of dedication goes into this video . Good Job , Dude

This reflects what my father told me after 25,000 hours flying military aircraft, 707s , L!011's and 747's as a Captain

Thanks for sharing 👍
