The other sighting report is that at around 7:00 p.m. that night, Genshin Saito, a chief priest of Jokoji Temple in Shimo-Imai-cho, Kofu City, saw a blue-white luminous object about the size of a ping-pong ball in the sky south of the temple.
According to Saito, the luminous object flew in a zigzag pattern, swooped down, and disappeared.
The above image is for illustration purposes. Alien Sighting Report by Midori Sato As another report, around the same time the UFO was sighted, Midori Sato, an insurance saleswoman, happened to be passing through the same area as the sighting site.
Sato told her husband about her strange experience that day.
If you say such a foolish thing, you will only be ridiculed.
So she decided not to tell anyone else about what happened that day.
However, seven years later, in 1982, when Sato told people she happened to meet on a trip about this mysterious experience, they advised her that she should definitely disclose it, and she decided to send a letter to Nippon Television.
As a result, her mysterious experience became a major topic of conversation when it was publicized on Nippon Television’s late-night program “11PM”.
According to Sato, before evening, at around 5:30 p.m., she was driving south on a narrow road from Masutsubo-cho to Kami-cho, where the incident occurred, toward Asahi’s house, the next destination for collection of insurance money. At that time, she was in a hurry to collect the money because she did not want it to be late in the evening.

Then she saw two children about 130 to 140 centimeters (about 4.5 feet) tall with dark skin on their faces and hands at a crossroads in the middle of a narrow street. Sato wondered if the children were dressed up as black people.
The above image is for illustration purposes only. Sato honked her car horn, but the children did not move off the road. So she stopped the car and pulled over to one side of the road and tried to drive slowly past the children. Then one of the children put his hand on the windshield and came face to face with her.
The above image is for illustration purposes only. Sato was surprised by the bizarre appearance of the child she saw through the windshield.
The above image is for illustration purposes only. The alien she saw certainly resembled the one in the Kofu incident in that it had a deeply wrinkled face, but there were many discrepancies, including the lack of large ears, eyes, and fangs in its mouth.
However, since the sighting was very brief, she says that her memory of other details is vague and she does not remember them clearly.
Sketch of an alien that Sato claims to have encountered. Sato was in a hurry to collect the money, so she drove past the child at the slowest possible speed. She then saw the other child’s face, which also had the exact same dark, wrinkled, eerie appearance.
After Sato passed the crossroads, she continued driving south down the road on the east side of Hinode Complex, when a group of men and women with children came running from the road ahead.
The above image is for illustration purposes only. They somehow had sticks in their hands and stopped Sato’s car with their arms outstretched. The children were buzzing around.
Sato rolled down her car window and asked them,
What’s going on?
One of them asked her,
Did you see a UFO?
But, she had seen no UFOs and it never occurred to her that the wrinkled black children she had just seen were aliens, so Sato replied,
No, I don’t know.
And they ran past her car to the street behind her.
Sato then hurriedly drove directly to the house where she was to collect the money.
As described above, the many reports of UFO/alien sightings in Kofu City on the same day make it clear that the Kofu Incident was not the result of the two boys’ delusions or fabrications, but that “something actually happened”.
Of course, all of the above reports are often taken up by Japanese UFO-positive groups and may be biased. In fact, it should be noted that the articles and videos on the Kofu Incident that have been circulating outside of Japan are biased, as they are all based on information from Japanese UFO-positive groups .
However, in this article, I will try to be as objective and fair as possible in presenting not only the positive information but also the negative information.
You are the final judge of the truth of the Kofu Incident.
So, in a later article, I would like to introduce the negative view of the Kofu incident by Japanese UFO skeptics.
