Light over Pacific Ocean (east of Japan) · Japan
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One person opened their window on an overnight flight from Shanghai to Vanvouver. Ahead of the plane on the right were many extremely bright lights. They seemed like they were up in the sky, but below the plane. They were stationary. There were more and more and they got extremely bright as we passed by. Then green and yellow lights also appeared. We flew by and they stayed where they were. In total, we witnessed these lights for about 30 minutes
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143005). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

What would the paper say?
Japanese records answer to the Act on Access to Information (1999). Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
