Defense minister Shigeru Ishiba is scared. Not of North Korean missiles or terrorist attacks. He's scared of alien invasions.
While he made it clear that this was his own fear and not that of his ministry, he went on and on about it in a very random tangent at a press conference completely unrelated to aliens. We deployed the self-defense forces when Godzilla attacked the country in the movie, he said, so why not do the same for an alien attack?
"There are no grounds for us to deny that there are unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and some life-form that controls them," he told the press last week. If they descended, saying 'People of the Earth, let's make friends,' it would not be considered an urgent, unjust attack on our country. And there is another issue of how can we convey our intentions if we don't understand what they are saying. We should consider various possibilities. There is no need at all to do this as the defence ministry, but I want to consider what to do by myself."
Oh, I spotted my friends mom reading some book that had some UFO saucer looking thing on the cover with pictures of some dudes. I think she's been taking UFO stuff seriously. I mean hey, Mothra will save us, no?
