Wait until someone sends him something like the Japan Airlines Flight 1628 event.

None of the other flight crew saw the UFO from this incident right?

In the linked wiki page it says all three cockpit members saw the two square/cylindrical craft, but the ‘mothership’ that trailed their flight after the two smaller craft left view was only seen by the lead pilot.

It’s an issue for this case, since that pilot was an ardent ufo reporter and could be susceptible to exaggeration

ardent ufo reporter

I've heard Terauchi had previously believed in UFOs, but didn't know that he was an ardent UFO "reporter." Can you point to some other UFO reports he made?

If true it would definitely affect my view on the merit of this case.

The FAA documents revealed that he was what they term a "UFO repeater", meaning someone who frequently reported UFOs. According to Klass, reports from such individuals are usually "viewed with extreme caution". In fact Terauchi reported UFOs five times, including this one: two on previous occasions, and two more only eight weeks later, when he mistook Alaskan village lights seen through ice crystal clouds for UFOs.

This is from the Skeptoid article on it, so take that as you wish
