Hiroshima, Japan: TOA Airlines Convair 240 Paced by Elliptical Object with EM Effects
On March 18, 1965, near Hiroshima, a TOA Airlines Convair 240 was paced for 90 km by a luminous elliptical object emitting greenish light that affected the automatic direction finder, radar, and radio. A Tokyo Airlines Piper Apache reported being paced simultaneously.
Background
Around 7:00 p.m., March 18, 1965, near Hiroshima, Japan, three workers sighted a triangular airborne object whose top radiated brilliant light. At 7:06, the captain of a TOA Airlines Convair 240 headed to Hiroshima at 2,000 meters altitude noticed a 'mysterious, elliptical, luminous object.' Initially fearing a collision, he lurched the plane 60 degrees.
Electromagnetic Effects
The intruder now positioned itself along his port wing, emitting a greenish light, affecting his automatic direction finder — his radar and radio. The anomalous vehicle followed him for a while, discontinued for three minutes, then 'followed along my left wing across the Inland Sea for a distance of about 90 kilometers ... then disappeared.'
Along the way, the copilot heard frantic calls from a Tokyo Airlines Piper Apache; the pilot said he was being paced by an unknown luminous object.
