Ufological situation
A whole network of ufological groups has spread across the territory of this country, investigating thousands of incidents. Japan is one of the few countries besides Great Britain to tackle the crop circle phenomenon; several organizations are investigating such cases at once. Unfortunately, linguistic and cultural barriers hinder the exchange of information with Japan more than with most other countries. As a result, it is impossible to say whether the absence of reports of TK4 contacts is explained by the fact that abductions do not happen in Japan, or simply by the lack of information about them. Japanese television has pounced on UFOs with even greater avidity than the media of many other countries, and renowned filmmaker and UFO enthusiast Unichi Yaoi has traveled the world filming the most classic cases. The premieres of these films were presented as the largest film presentations, which attracted a huge audience. It is obvious that the topic of UFOs is of enormous interest, as evidenced by the success of the UFO literature translated from English, although the translation of Japanese books about UFOs into other languages is still waiting in the wings. For example, Celestial Catastrophe, the work of the author of this book, written in 1984 based on the incident at Randlesham Forest, has sold 15,000 copies in Great Britain and America, and over 80,000 copies in Japan.written in 1984 based on the Randlesham Forest incident, has sold 15,000 copies in the UK and America and over 80,000 in Japan.written in 1984 based on the Randlesham Forest incident, has sold 15,000 copies in the UK and America and over 80,000 in Japan.
The Japanese are very impressionable. I have seen videotapes of people undergoing regression hypnosis experiencing their memories of close encounters extremely emotionally. Whether these were abductions in the sense that we put into this word remains unclear. What is beyond doubt is the fact that Japan has conducted serious scientific research on NAYA. Significant sums have been invested in this area, and at a number of universities, in particular Wasedo and Nihon, experimental programs have been launched to recreate the free flight of UFOs in the laboratory based on eyewitness accounts. Several impressive videos of these experiments were captured by high-speed cameras, and in some cases objects flying up in laboratory experiments left crop circles on the floor.
Regarding the position of the Japanese government, official statements say that no research is being carried out, but only interest from individuals. Nevertheless, some well-known political figures emanate more positive assessments. So, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Air Force, General Kenshi Ishikawa, said that the radar readings testify in favor of the reality of UFOs, and put forward a hypothesis about their unearthly origin.
Contacts
As you would expect from a nation with a large proportion of the population owning personal photo and video cameras, a large number of photographs and videos of UFOs appear in Japan. These images show images of all types of UFOs, including OVN and daytime disks, although some of these images are undoubtedly developing defects and light reflections, leaving images that resemble UFOs on the film.
One of the most notable cases occurred in Itazuka on December 17, 1956. Two aircraft performed combat maneuvers to test the new radar settings; one acted as a target and the other as an interceptor. Suddenly, a strange signal appeared on the screen, and an interceptor plane was sent to establish its origin. The pilot saw a huge, blurry light ahead, straight ahead, in the area the radar was pointing to. As the pilot quickly approached the object, the outlines of a golden disk loomed in front of the pilot's gaze, and the onboard radar, for some unknown reason, was blocked by a powerful static charge. After the UFO disappeared from sight at unimaginable speed, the radar system returned to normal. The shocked pilots returned to base, preparing to present a detailed account of the incident.

Another extremely disturbing incident occurred on June 9, 1974. The Japanese Air Force Phantom fighter was sent to intercept a radar-detected target, presumably a Soviet spy plane. Two pilots fixed the target with the help of onboard radar, but at that moment their plane was hit by an unknown projectile, so they had to eject, and their "Phantom" was blown apart. One of the pilots survived, and the other died, as his parachute was burned by the burning wreckage of the plane. According to the surviving pilot, Major Shiro Kubot, their target was not an airplane, but a flaming red-hot disc with portholes or vents along the edges. As soon as the Phantom aimed its launchers at it, the object abruptly changed direction, and then took a head-on course directly for the plane and broke off its wings, dodging the attack, which caused the tragedy.
Crop circle research has stimulated incidents similar to those near Nishikawa-ho on August 9, 1986. Eyewitnesses saw an orange ball of light fall from the sky into the swamp. At the time this happened, local residents noted strange interference in the television picture. The next day, the water level in the swamp dropped noticeably, and a circle of folded stems about 6 meters in diameter appeared in the reeds. In the course of scientific investigation of the cases, laboratory experiments were carried out, thanks to which significant progress was made in understanding the electrical nature of NAN.
The nature of the relationship between UFOs and water is clearly demonstrated by another incident that occurred in July 1973 in the vicinity of Tomakomai on the island of Hokkaido. A night watchman on duty at a lumber yard on the coast of the bay saw an orange light spiraling downward and hovering just above the water's surface. Then a pipe appeared from the UFO, through which the object began to suck water from the sea. A few minutes later, the light emanating from the UFO began to fade, and the object itself began to rise, after which it headed into the interior of the island, flying over the eyewitness and illuminating the area with light as bright as the sun. Through the round portholes, the eyewitness was able to make out several dark silhouettes.
Waves and special zones
Throughout the 1950s, Japan experienced a startlingly high number of cases, accompanied by a phenomenon called "angel hair," a thin, fibrous white material like cotton that fell from the sky after the UFOs appeared. During the same period, similar cases were noted in France, although this phenomenon was extremely rare in other countries. The most significant wave swept Japan in 1958, when many pictures were taken. As for the special zones, these include the Tasetsuzan National Park - a mountainous area in Hokkaido, where UFOs have been repeatedly observed. It is very likely that the main reason for such a significant number of observations is the increased geological activity of the Japanese islands. Some of these cases may be various types of NALs, provoked by seismic activity.
A feature of the Japanese uflogical picture is the presence of the so-called "angel hair" - strange fibrous deposits that remain on the ground after the appearance of a UFO.
