Would you gentlemen introduce yourself?" One man stood up and turned toward the six remaining men. "These are members of the Presidential scientific staff, along with members of the CIA and FBI. I am the team leader." He flashed his identification badge and sat down offering no names of the participants. The software team leader rose and slipped a video in a recorder, a picture of a radarscope filled the television screen which covered an entire wall of the large office. All eyes were transfixed on the JL 1628's aircraft symbol moving across the pale green background. Clearly depicted adjacent to the JL 1628 symbol was an intermitting unidentified target traveling in the vicinity of the B747. The unknown target moved beside, in front of and around JL 1628 for 32 minutes as the group listened to the voice of the pilot, the FAA air traffic controller, and the military controller as the attempted to determine who, what and where the strange target came from and the intention of the invader. The seven men requested to watch the tape two more times before starting their questioning. The oldest of the seven stood up and begin the questioning. He stated that he was from the President's scientific staff and needed a few details. "What was the speed of the antenna?" The lead software engineer responded, "9 seconds." "What was the frequency of the radar?" "126.35 he responded. "What was the beam width?" "3.5 degrees." "What was the algorithm of the height finding radar?" One of the other software engineers responded with the algorithm as if he answered the same question everyday. The leader of the seven stood up, pointing to the many boxes filled with printouts and tapes from the incident. "We are confiscating all this data." He turned in the direction of the large screen, "this event never happened, we were never here. Your are not to utter one word of this entire event to anyone. You are sworn to secrecy. If fact, you will forget any involvement with JL 1628 including us, this room, and every scrap of paper and person connected. Understand?"
