(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
Quote from the article:
“The Japan
On 28 April 2020, an article appeared in ‘The Japan Times’ titled ‘Pentagon
officially releases military videos of UFOs.’ The story told how the Pentagon
had released officially released three videos showing ‘unidentified aerial
phenomena.’ It went on to say:
‘In Tokyo
In a 2 May 2020 follow-up article titled ‘Japan Defense Ministry to
draft UFO protocols in response to U.S.
‘The Ministry will consider procedures for responding to, recording and
reporting on UFO encounters as their unknown nature might cause confusion among
Self Defense Forces pilots...Defense Minister Taro Kono said Tuesday that SDF
pilots have never encountered UFOs but that the ministry will develop protocols
for the possibility. According to the ministry, Air Self Defense Force fighter
jets from seven bases ranging from Hokkaido to Okinawa are scrambled to monitor
and identify aircraft of unknown nationality....If (UFOs) are encountered,
training will be cancelled immediately,’ an ASDF source said. ‘We will week to
identify it from a safe distance, including whether it is a drone and report it
to the Air Defense Direction Center for orders’....’To be honest, I don’t
believe in UFOs,’ Kono said, ‘But because the Defense Department released such
a video, I would like to hear from the U.S. side about its intentions and
analysis.’ ”
My comment:
Japan Air Self-Defense Force pilots have never witnessed a UFO,
according to then Japan Defense Minister Taro Kono. This statement is not correct.
On 15 October 2010, I reported about the following article:
