Nobutaka Machimura, the number two in government, said in December that he personally believed aliens existed, in an unusual rebuttal to a government statement that Japan had no knowledge of UFOs.

Defence Minister Shigeru Ishiba went as far as to say that he was studying the legal ramifications of responding to an alien attack in light of Japan's post-World War II pacifist constitution.

Possibly, like you said, a precursor. I doubt anything will come of it. If it does, our government will play it off as "those crazy asians" and their post-nuclear fantasies.

I think the majority of the world believes that there is life out there, whether intelligent or not. But the majority of the world believes in a deity as well, so what we must seek is proof. Saying "I know" just isn't enough to convince anyone.
