over the motor. On March 24, even more interest in the incident was stimulated when three men from the UFO Observer Corps arrived on the Japanese scene to talk to the witnesses. The international and semi- professional organization's meticulous investigation uncovered more sightings of UFO's that occured around the time the objects were chasing planes over the Inland Sea. Passengers of a different airline reported that they had sighted two shining, round, white objects as they flew over southern Hokkaido after taking off from the Chitose Airport enroute to Tokyo on March 18th. What were these strange objects that filled the skies over Japan in March of 1965? One suggestion was that those were manifestations of the rare phenomena of balled lightning. This is highly unlikely, though, since the weather that usually produces such electrical phenomena is the electrically turbulent air that follows a thunderstorm. The weather condition at all of these sightings was perfectly clear. The specific identity of the UFO remains a mystery, while the sightings themselves form one more piece that does not fit in the puzzle of the airline crashes over the Inland Sea. 15.

He heard a sinister whining and crackling. "| sensed something fantastic and really menacing in the air above," he said. "It was in keeping with the sounds of high-powered refrigeration or deepfreeze units. But this was way, way above that level, magnified thousands of times. After three minutes things were back to normal. | pressed the starter button, my jalopy purred away perfectly - just as if it never had been abruptly halted in its tracks at high speed."
