Initial data
Three glowing spheres followed the Boeing 747 on the port side as the plane headed for Tokyo. The objects were flying close to each other and below our altitude of about 35,000 feet. The surveillance took place either over the Pacific Ocean or over Alaska en route to Tokyo from Seattle via Northwest Airlines.
The glowing balls were so bright that it was impossible to determine the shape. The three objects were bright silver in color and randomly followed the plane below our altitude. There was no sudden maneuvering, but the objects did rise and fall a little. The distance from the plane could be a mile behind us and maybe 1,000 feet below our altitude.
I notified the flight attendant, and she said she would notify the crew - perhaps the crew also made visual contact. Most of the passengers were asleep at the time. I don't know if the NWA flight crew notified air traffic control. I used to work for the North American Aerospace Division, where I worked as a photographer documenting the command module tests during the Apollo program.

Summary: Three luminous spheres followed the 747 on the port side as the aircraft headed toward Tokyo. Notified flight attendant. Objects flew close together and below our altitude of approx. 35,000 ft. The event took place either over the Pacific or Alaska while enroute to Tokyo from Seattle via Northwest Airlines flt. 007. The luminous spheres were so bright that it wasn’t possible to determine shape. The three objects were a bright silvery color and followed the aircraft below our altitude in a loose formation. There was no wild manuevering but the objects did ascend and descend slightly. The distance from the aircraft could have been a mile behind us and perhaps 1000 ft below our altitude. I notified the flight attendant and she said she would notify the crew–possibly the crew made visual contact also. Most of the passengers were asleep at the time. Do not know if NWA flight crew notified air control. I was formerly with North American Aviation/Space Division assigned to a photographic unit documenting the command module tests during the Apollo program.
