Formation over Yokohama, KANAGAWA · Japan
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The crafts (?) themselves were not visible but the tips of the streaks would produce a white/silverish flash periodically. Haneda airport is nearby, planes never fly in this direction. They were flying slowly in perfect parallel formation. You can see that there’s a military plane in the picture presumably flying toward Atsugi Base (US Army).
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173835). 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.
