This Small Japanese Town Is A UFO Hotspot

WATCH NEXT: We Went Alien Hunting With Conspiracy Theorists - https://youtu.be/No5C6YRzZ74

I love the guy at the end who was interviewed and who saw a UFO in 1977. So dignified he got all dressed up for the interview.. and he brought the picture that he drew along with him. He's being keeping that picture since 1977. That must have really meant something to him. It seems that he's been waiting for them to come back ever since. If I were an alien he's definitely the kind of human that I would want to meet

She is such a great and polite reporter. Love to see more of this Vice reporter.

The kindness and honor the Japanese exude is beautiful. I appreciate their openness and their passion for UFO's and E.T.s. We need more of this in the U.S. I would love to visit there one day! Much respect to them! Please keep reporting on UFO culture. Thank you!

In about 1988 my wife and I were stargazing from a sand dune on a beach in NC. Suddenly we realized a brightly glowing red triangle was flying right up the shoreline. It glowed from inside like a charcoal briquette, it was about equilateral, and it flew silently over us and down the beach northward until it was out of sight. It seemed to be about 30 to 50 feet on each side and flew at maybe 90mph at 1500 feet?-so not terribly fast. I have also seen another something with a friend. We were out on a friends deck at night and we saw a little triangle appear straight overhead. It was made of little white dots like stars. It had a little tail and looked like a kite as it spun quickly-almost playfully-and vanished in maybe 6 seconds. We laughed and thanked it for appearing. I think there needs to be an openness to see such things to see them.

My great aunt back in the Philippines (geographically below Japan) witnessed a saucer shaped one with lights back in the 60’s. She told this story to everyone including my Dad and during that time lived in Mindanao. They had very little technological influence given that my family was poor, lived in a very rural area, and they were farmers. She said she saw a metallic disk/saucer shape with lights descending into the field across from her. When she went to see if it landed, it was nowhere to be found. I have no reason to believe she or my dad would make that up given the time and circumstances in which they lived in. Alien or not, these things are real! Edit: Been about 9 months since post but I'd like to share a couple things. 1. I wholeheartedly believe that the paranormal and the UFO phenomenon go hand in hand. 2. I don't think that UFOs are extraterrestrial, but rather, ultraterrestrial. From what I've read and experienced, these things have always been here. 3. They appear to be mischievous and somewhat malevolent. 4. Once you start looking too closely at UFOs, they start looking back at you.

I lived in Japan for 4 years and one thing I’ll say is Japanese culture still lives by the honor code, you’ll HARDLY find a Japanese national that will lie to you, for anyone here who hasn’t ever visited Japan I highly encourage you to visit someday, Japanese people are just another breed and almost all have the “good” in them that humanity should have in itself. If they are testifying to a sighting they saw with their own eyes, it means something. Fun fact, in Japan the honor code is held so strongly, that if you buy alcohol anywhere, you WILL NOT get ID’d, instead, you will be asked if you’re 20 and over and they take your word for it, that’s how strong it is in their culture not to lie.

I saw a UFO once...it was a blue sky, no clouds. I was in a car with my girlfriend, who was driving. She suddenly said "what's that?" High in the sky was a silver disc which then disappeared in the blink of an eye - that fast. We were so astounded that we got out of the car and walked around, looking at the sky. It just disappeared before our eyes. That was 37 years ago. I KNOW what I/we saw. That experience has left me scanning the sky every time I leave my house. I truly believe aliens are flying around our skies - they just move too fast for us to see and have the technology to cloak themselves to become invisible to the eye and radar...they are definitely here though...

The Japanese Utsurobone legend is about an incident in 1803 where a round vessel washed up to shore containing a woman, who stepped out, wearing strange clothing and carrying a box. The vessel was believed to be made of rosewood and iron, and it's windows made of glass and crystal. She was unable to communicate with the locals, and the vessel was adorned with strange writings that they could not read. Very different from accounts of space saucers, but leaving out important details is a good way to help people connect the dots and turn it into anything they want it to be. There are probably millions or billions of civilizations out there in the vastness of the universe, but if they have the resources and intelligence to build technology to contact us, I think they'd also have a protocol for when they make contact with us. Imagine us spending trillions of dollars and centuries or millennia to send a human to a far away planet, and decide that when they get there, "we'll just wing it".

I always believed that the Japanese culture and people are the most curious about nature and extraterrestrials. Because Japanese culture evolved isolated from the rest of the world their preconceived ideas about the mysteries of nature and supernatural phenomenon are pure to the point of considering nature itself as devine which is quite a beautiful concept.

In 1999 from Pickering, Ontario, Canada I looked up into the night sky. I saw what I thought was a shooting star moving horizontally from right to left, then it made a 90° angle and shot up vertically! I realized that I had just witnessed a UFO.

I am very touched and amazed by the statement of the man at 6:51 , "be curious about the whole wide world, be aware of it"

Alien1: Should we attack this planet? Alien2 : No they are already destroying each other.

I live in New York and I definitely had a UFO encounter! Was amazing and frightening at the same time. In the area I live by 9 pm it’s pretty quiet and practically empty outside. I was out alone walking to a local store and I saw it clear as day! And it knew that I noticed it cause from that moment on it followed me to the point it was right over my head (fairly high above) literally that’s when I freaked out and dipped into a store that was a few feet from me. The cashier saw the fear in my eyes and asked if I was alright I said I was being followed! And I said by a UFO she laughed for a second and then stepped outside to see if it was true l! Sure enough it was still there above! She whipped out her cell phone to snap a photo and it disappeared like instantly. When I tried to see were it went it reappeared in the sky a mile away from were I was standing! 😳😳😳😳 True story 🛸👽😨😱

I lived on a Air Force Base at Tachikawa Japan. When evening I was coming home from the swimming pool on base and look down the street and saw a round orb with lights, different color lights all around it flying around a water tower. I didn’t know what it was and it sort of scared me and I never did tell anyone about it! I’m 77 now and I am awake to what is going on on our planet!

my mom and 3 of her very close friends saw a triangle craft flying so low you could see both inside of it and the mechanisms underneath..yet no noise. Barely above street lights. It really messed them up. The other three have committed suicide.. my mom is still here but not for lack of trying. When she talks about it you can see she goes someplace that no one wants to be. It's pretty shitty that people, both "normal" "weird" and everywhere between, have been made out to be liars, crazy, attention seeking etc. I am so glad to see the shift that is happening.

Japanese culture, their way of life and the general mannerisms and disposition they hold are very admirable. I really need to go there one day.

I lived in that town for 3 years. It was a wonderful part of Fukushima and Japan. That place sure does have a strange feeling about it.

@3:50 “What is this, a UFO institute for ants?!?”

This actually opened my eyes up to japan, I didn’t realize how serious they took it. It really makes me want to move to this town so I can not feel crazy anymore.
