Formation over Todoroki (Japan) · Japan
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sitting outside just after sunset during a small cook out; family member noticed stationary lights in the sky in formation. It almost looked like older style radio towers, but not as bright nor flashing. In this area there are not towers or buildings this high. Because we were further away from Tokyo, the sky was not washed out by the city light, so you could see the sky well and probably why not many noticed. We took several photos with an iPhone – they appeared to stay hovered for more than 20 minutes – maybe slightly moving to our right of view. The formation was like that of the 6 dots on Dominos. Then they were gone in unison.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147399). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Japanese records answer to the Act on Access to Information (1999). Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
