Yasukazu Hamada on UFOs: Japan's government inquiry

Jesse Michels interviews former Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada and other Japanese politicians and officials about the country’s investigation of UFOs. Hamada, who chaired Japan’s parliamentary UAP caucus, explains why he believes the possibility of non-human intelligence deserves serious consideration. The guests discuss mysterious objects reportedly seen over or near Japanese nuclear facilities and efforts to establish official UAP reporting and greater government transparency.

The conversation also revisits Japan Airlines Flight 1628, the Lockheed scandal, and alleged American influence over Japanese intelligence and UFO disclosure. Former congressman Atsushi Hayasaka recounts a frightening encounter that he believes may have left an unexplained implant behind his ear. His wife, Sendai City Council member Chiaki Hayasaka, shares a childhood UFO sighting. These are accounts and interpretations offered by the participants, not confirmed findings. The interview also touches on UFO reports associated with sacred sites in Japan and Mount Fuji.
