Did UFO Crash Landed in Feudal Japan?


In a document called Hyouryuukishuu ("Tales of Castaways") printed in the late Edo period (1603 - 1868) in Japan, there is a story of Japanese sailors who found a wrecked ship with a mysterious appearance:

According to the document, this vessel washed ashore at Harashagahama in Hitachi-no-kuni (present-day Ibaraki prefecture). The body of the ship, described as 3.3 meters tall and 5.4 meters wide, had been built from red sandalwood and iron and was fitted with windows of glass or crystal. The mysterious characters of an unknown alphabet were found inscribed inside the vessel.

Edo-period UFO scrollAboard the drifting vessel was a finely dressed young woman with a pale face and red eyebrows and hair. She was estimated to be between 18 and 20 years old. Because she spoke an unfamiliar tongue, those that encountered her were unable to determine from whence she came. In her arms she clutched a plain wooden box that appeared to be of great value to her, as she would allow nobody to approach it.

Did she look like this? :thumbsup:

It seems reasonable to assume that anyone from Europe or outside of southeast Asia at that time period would speak an unfamiliar language, and have a different ship design. Is that picture from the original document?

I think we can safely rule out the existence of a space ship made out of sandal wood and iron.

Maybe it was terrestrial, or maybe it simply had the appearance of sandalwood and iron.

Maybe it was what happened to Danae after she was cast into the sea by her angry father? Maybe it was Perseus in the box?

Release the Kraken!

This is silly.

Here's a novel idea - maybe those ancient writers were liars or delusional!

Just because someone wrote some story a long time ago it doesn't mean it's true. Geez. Crackpots exist everywhere and at all times in history.

What if future civilizations uncover the writings of Marshall Applewhite (Heaven's Gate Cult) who believed that Hale-Bopp, an unusually bright comet, was the sign that humans were supposed to shed their earthly bodies (or "containers") and join a spacecraft traveling behind the comet that would take them to a higher plane of existence. In preparation Applewhite and others had voluntarily castrated themselves. And, at the appropriate time, all the members committed suicide.

Someone in the future is gonna read Applewhite's writings and believe we were visited by castrating space aliens.

I am intrigued by your opinions, and I would like to sign up for your newsletter.

Sounds like someone lost their science project. At least it provided a laugh for the day. :)
