Japan's Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa on UFOs: "the government, led by the Ministry of Defense, is always making every effort to monitor the situation."
On March 12th, Representative Yosiharu Asakawa once again urged his government to address questions regarding UAP.
As one of the very few elected officials openly discussing this subject in Japan, Asakawa queried Japan’s Minister of Defense, Minoru Kihara, whether he had had encounters with UFOs. The Ministry of Defense and pilot stated that he had limited experience in the air and did not witness anything unusual. Kihara also consulted his colleagues and instructors, who similarly denied seeing UFOs.
Nevertheless, Minister Kihara, after reviewing the AARO report, remarked that:
It would mean that UAP were made by another country. We believe that Japan and the United States should work together with a common understanding in the event that an unidentifiable object, as the latest weapon or reconnaissance aircraft of another country, would create a crisis.
Japan Calls for Collaboration with the U.S. Regarding UAP
When Rep. Asakawa questioned Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa, she stated:
With regard to unidentifiable objects in the air, the government, led by the Ministry of Defense, is always making every effort to monitor the situation, as well as to collect and analyze information.
With the AARO report refuting any extraterrestrial origin of UAP, the dilemma deepens for the United States: all sightings in the air and around critical infrastructures by military personnel likely originate from an unknown adversary, endangering U.S. strategic assets and vulnerabilities. One may question how long elected officials will tolerate both the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Department of Defense (DOD) continuing to publish dismissive documents, as reported by Sentinel News.
