On Monday, Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kono instructed Japanese military personnel on what to do if they spot unidentified aerial objects that could potentially pose a threat to national security.

According to Japanese news agencies, Kono instructed the Japanese Self Defence Forces to record and report any sightings of unknown objects in Japan’s airspace. The move comes just weeks after Kono spoke with U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper in a conversation that apparently touched on UFOs.

Taking a lead from the United States, Kono also tasked the SDF to assess any data collected and investigate any credible sightings.

In April, the Japanese Ministry of Defence announced that it would begin drafting guidelines on tracking and investigating UFO sightings. Citing the United State’s release of three videos shot by Naval aviators of unknown objects in 2004 and 2015...

UAP Researcher Giuliano Marinkovic, who hosts a podcast and blog on the UAP subject, first posted that he discovered a September 4th Japanese press release confirming that US Secretary of Defence Mark Esper spoke with Kono about the UAP issue at a meeting in Guam on August 29th. In a meeting with the press, Kono explained that he and Esper discussed the issue of UFOs in Guam and that while he could not go into details, the two nations would work closely together on the issue. A Pentagon press release confirms that Esper and Kono did meet in Guam on August 29th, and states that the two nations will continue efforts to ensure “interoperability” and to enhance capabilities for “integrated air and missile defense” as well as the integration of “intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance functions.”

Correction: They will TRY to track UFOs. Any being that can travel across the universe can avoid being tracked.
