Yes, and how is this relevant? They thought they saw UFOs. Right. But the UFO's do not get real because some people believe in them.
You are correct, but we have lots of data from satellites, radar, ELINT systems, deep space surveillance radars, ATC communications, physical trace evidence, etc.
Events such as these point to equipment failure or misreadings, not very good evidence for UFOs.
Equipment failures have been rejected in the such cases. For an example, in the JAL 1628 case, there are communication tapes and ATC transcripts where military and civilian controllers were warning the aircrew of the B-747 by a a gigantic UFO larger than a ship. 2 1/2 months later in the general region, an Air Force KC-135 was in formation with a gigantic UFO the size of a ship, which was reported by the aircrew. The communication tape between ATC and the aircrew is now available to the public.
This is completely laughable. How on Earth could they identify "Interplanetary Spaceships" that nobody has ever seen before? Even officials can have rampant imaginations.
The advanced technology exhibited by the objects that is unknown to mankind. Another clear example is where our space surveillance systems track them as they enter Earth's atmosphere from deep space. According to DSP surveillance satellite engineers of Aero Jet, their own DSP satellites have tracked the objects in space and in one case, a DSP detected a UFO with its star tracker as the UFO headed toward Earth from deep space. The object then slowed down as it rounded to within a few miles of the DSP before heading back into deep space and that incident occurred in 1984. The UFOs in such cases are code named: "Fastwalkers."
Even Project Mogul and Skyhook balloon scientist were tracking the objects in space and even they were reporting tracking flying saucers. One of them was Charles B. Moore, who headed Project Mogul. You can read the reports here and notice in one official report that objects were seen hovering 200 miles above Earth.
HOW SCIENTISTS TRACKED A FLYING SAUCER
by
Commander Robert B. McLaughlin, USN
On a bright, clear Sunday morning in April, 1949, a detachment of Navy men and a group of scientists released a balloon from a point 57 miles northwest of the White Sands Proving Ground base.
They were interested in getting weather data from the upper atmosphere, and as the balloon rose, they charted its flight as usual with a theodolite and a stop watch. There were five observers in all; four of them coordinating the instrument data. One followed the balloon through the theodolite's telescope. One called off the readings. One recorded them, and the fourth man held the watch.
Shortly after the balloon was aloft west of the observation point, the theodolite operator swung his instrument rapidly to the east.
A strange object, seen by everyone present, had crossed the path of the balloon. The instrument man, confused, had followed it. Swiftly, one of the scientists grabbed the theodolite and began tracking the missile.
An accurate plot of the object's course was recorded. Analyzing this data later, I can state definitely that:
1. The object, viewed in cross section, was elliptical in shape.
2. It was about 105 feet in diameter.
3. It was flying at an altitude of approximately 56 miles. (This was determined by a ballistics expert. An object at a lower altitude on this particular bright day could not have fitted the data taken. For security reasons, I cannot go deeper into this method of calculating altitude.)
4. Its speed was about 5 miles per second.
5. At the end of its trajectory, it swerved abruptly upward, altering its angle of elevation by 5 degrees -- corresponding to an increase in altitude of about 25 miles -- in a period of 10 seconds. Rough calculation indicates that a force of more that 20 G's (20 times the pull of gravity) would be required to produce this elevation in this time.
6. The object was visible for 60 seconds.
7. It disappeared at an elevation of 29 degrees.

As mentioned earlier, my own base in Vietnam was overflown by a UFO and after my tour, I was sent to Hill AFB, which conducted its own investigations where flying saucers were disabling our Minuteman missiles in the field, and we were the deport for those missiles.
How many people today are aware that UFOs overflew Washington D.C. in 1952 where Air Force jets were scrambled? How many are aware that the U.S. Army finally admitted to its Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU) whose mission was to recover downed UFOs. The unit was supported by Project Moon Dust and Operation Blue Fly.
The files of the IPU are now in the hands of the USAF and you can make an inquiry under the Freedom of Information Act for additional information on the Army's Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit.
How about the Roswell incident?
AF ROSWELL STUDY CONTRIBUTOR ADMITS "IT WAS ET!"
The Lt. Colonel who was a major contributor to the Air Force's official 1997 study that concluded that the Roswell ET crash of 1947 is a "myth"- now states that the Air Force's Roswell report is itself a lie. The Colonel goes further to state that what he really believes to be true is that aliens actually did crash to Earth decades ago! He adds that he was "used" and that the the author of the Air Force report "was on a mission" with no interest in discovering what really happened at Roswell.
Amazingly, Madson believes that an extraterrestrial crash actually had happened - and that the bodies were stored for a period of time at Wright Patterson! He bases this on the fact that he himself had served at Wright Patterson in the early 1950's -before going to Holloman AFB to conduct the crash dummy tests. He personally had heard -just a few years after the Roswell event- directly from "others who would have been positioned to know" that there was a "very secure facility" at the base that served as the storage place for the alien bodies that were recovered from a crash sometime before he began employment at Wright.
General Arthur E. Exon, Commanding Officer, Wright-Patterson AFB
(RUCU) (C&S, p. 191, 194)
"...They knew they had something new in their hands. The metal and material was unknown to anyone I talked to. Whatever they found, I never heard what the results were. A couple of guys thought it might be Russian, but the overall consensus was that the pieces were from space. Everyone from the White House on down knew that what we had found was not of this world within 24 hours of our finding it. ...
Roswell was the recovery of a craft from space."

The 'UFO Letter Of Senator Barry Goldwater
Barry Goldwater
United States Senate
Washington, D.C.[postcode]
March 28, 1975
Mr. Schlomo Arnon
U.C.D.A. Experimental College

Los Angeles, California 90024
Dear Mr. Arnon:
The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me
for some long time. About ten or twelve years ago
I made an effort to find out what was in the building
at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the information
is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and
I was understandably denied this request. It is
still classified above Top Secret. I have, however,
heard that there is a plan under way to release some,
if not all, of this material in the near future. I'm
just as anxious to see this material as you are, and I
hope we will not have to wait too much longer.
Sincerely
