Japan Probe report that Japan's chief cabinet secretary Nobutaka Machimura said UFOs are real -meaning alien spacecraft, according to a BBC report. The document revealed that Japan has not yet planned what to do should aliens arrive here.
The comment by chief cabinet secretary Nobutaka Machimura drew laughter from reporters at his regular briefing on government policy, similar to press reactions to Dennis Kucinich comments during a recent Democratic presidential debate.
Earlier Japan's cabinet, responding to an opposition lawmaker’s question, issued a statement saying it could not confirm any cases of unidentified flying objects.But Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura later told reporters he believed they were "definitely" real.
“This is an issue that the nation is interested in — it is a defense issue and a confirmation operation needs to take place,” Ryuji Yamane, a lawmaker from the main opposition Democratic Party who submitted the question to the cabinet, told Reuters.
Questioned about the existence of alien spaceships, Japan's Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda thought about it and then answered carefully. He said he had "not yet confirmed" whether they existed.
