TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan's next prime minister might be nicknamed "the alien," but it's his wife who claims to have had a close encounter with another world.

"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," Miyuki Hatoyama, the wife of premier-in-waiting Yukio Hatoyama, wrote in a book published last year.

"It was a very beautiful place and it was really green."

Yukio Hatoyama is due to be voted in as premier on September 16 following his party's crushing election victory over the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party Sunday.

Miyuki, 66, described the extraterrestrial experience, which she said took place some 20 years ago, in a book entitled "Very Strange Things I've Encountered."

Isnt the surface of Venus hot enough to melt lead?

...it was really green."

I think that was the big cloud of sulfuric acid you saw. But to each his own.

Hide the sake.

Yes, but she went at night.

“The headline, make it stop. The hurt! The hurt!”

It was translated directly from Japanese...

Madame First Lady, how long have you been experimenting with ‘shrooms?

Was Tom Cruise with her?

"Shhh! Don't tell them!"

Looks like they need to up her medicine.

I’ve always wondered why these people think their soul needs a spaceship to travel to another planet. Why would an immaterial soul need to be transported by a material object?

[HighlyOpinionated]

I do that every night. Right after I pray my prayers. I can find really good sleep in a triangular shaped spaceship while it’s on its way to other planets.

I go for the far-out space, though. Some of those distant solar systems in the milky-way can be quite lovely when I’m asleep.

And my dogs and cat will corroborate my story.

“Japan’s next prime minister might be nicknamed “the alien,” but it’s his wife who claims to have had a close encounter with another world.”

We have similar and more graphic names for our “President” and First “Lady.”

"It was a very beautiful place and it was really green."

Yeah, all those Soviet photos must have been faked.

In breaking news, the Prime Minister has offered to send his wife on a rocket to wherever she wants to go, as long as it's faraway.

There is a theory by some that the great deception spoken of in the Bible (but never told exactly what it is) that will make people turn away from God will be the open landing/discovery of space aliens.

The fact that the wife of a prime minister of a major country like Japan can say, with a straight face, she has taken a ride on a spaceship makes you start to wonder how far gone we are.
