Witness Testimony

"I was stationed at Yokota AFB and and somewhere in the first couple days of the new year we came to catch a C-5 and two 141s when they were buzzed by a white light. when they tried to land the light flashed before them and stopped them from Landing. the f 86s were sent out of a near by Japanese air base. We got on a parked aircraft and listened on the radios. the aircraft werer not able to land and were sent to a marine airbase further south. they came in the next morning. It would be better to tell this to someone since I'm not much of a writer. this was Jan 1973 the first few days((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this source, and he seemed sincere to us. We have invited him to attempt to contact the other witnesses, and to add any additional information to his report, if it comes to mind. Date is within a day, or two, of the actual date, the witness believes. PD))"
