Japan's Three Big UFO/UAP Incidents are Wonderful Weird (+ 1) Uncanny Japan Podcast (Ep. 192)

Japan has more UFO and UAP stories than just the famous Utsuro-bune. In this episode, we dive into the “Big Three” Japanese UFO incidents from the Showa era: the Kera Incident, where boys claimed to capture a tiny hat-shaped UFO; the Kōfu Incident, involving two young cousins, a vineyard, and strange alien beings; and the Nikoro Incident, a wonderfully bizarre Hokkaidō abduction case complete with spoon-bending, telepathy, and alleged alien implants. Then we look at the Kaiyō Maru case, a later and more documented encounter involving a Japanese government research vessel, multiple scientific witnesses, strange lights, radar contacts, impossible speeds, and a roaring sound overhead. === Would you like me to tell you a Bedtime Story? Once a month, for my five dollar and up Patrons, I find obscure Japanese folktales that I translate, retell/reimagine, and then record with cool background music. Some are funny, some are creepy, and some are just weird.
