A high-ranking Pentagon official said his office was investigating over 800 UFO sightings as of May, but only 2-5% are ‘truly anomalous’
The Department of Defense has reported a significant increase in UFO hotspots in various Japanese cities, particularly those related to nuclear activities and areas close to active war zones in the Middle East.
Among the growing number of sightings are cities such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both of which suffered devastating atomic bombings at the end of World War II. Additionally, a town in Fukushima Prefecture, where a nuclear power plant was destroyed by the 2011 tsunami, has also experienced UFO sightings.
In the Middle East, the U.S. The military recorded an unexplained, high-speed metallic-looking orb in 2022. Another similar object referred to as the “Mosul Orb” was documented by an American spy plane over Mosul, Iraq. , in 2016. However, very little information is available regarding these two incidents, keeping them a mystery.
A heat map depicting concentrated UFO sightings was first presented during an April congressional hearing by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), a special department within the Pentagon responsible for investigating UFOs.

During the inquiry, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the office, admitted that there was no explanation for the UFOs or UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) observed in the Middle East. He also stated that it would be very challenging to fully identify objects based on only a short video clip provided.
In May, Dr. Kirkpatrick revealed during a NASA presentation that AARO is actively investigating more than 800 reported cases of UAPs. However, he notes that only a small percentage, specifically 2-5% of cases, are considered “truly unusual” and defy conventional explanation.
In the United States, reported UFO sightings seem to be concentrated in certain areas on the West Coast in cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as in the Southeast and East Coast, particularly in cities such as Miami. This pattern is reflected in the heat map provided.

During an April congressional hearing, Dr. Kirkpatrick acknowledged the existence of a “collection bias” in terms of altitude and geographic location in the U.S., a bias attributed to the presence of sensors, training ranges, operational areas, and various platforms centered on them. areas, which leads to a higher number of reported sightings.
It should be noted that Dr. Kirkpatrick’s presentations at both the April congressional hearing and the May NASA hearing focused primarily on the U.S. and he did not offer theories or explanations for the number of reported UFO sightings in Japanese cities or the Middle East.
Japan’s Fukushima, often called the “Roswell of Japan,” has embraced its reputation for hosting UFO sightings and related phenomena.
In 2021, a group of researchers called the “International UFO Lab” released six images and videos that appear to depict authentic UFOs, Japan News reported. These researchers examined nearly 500 reports of UFO sightings, most of which turned out to be simple and explainable phenomena such as drones, birds, airplanes, or reflections of light.
However, they identified six “triangular flying objects” that were considered real UFOs. The prediction was made by Takeharu Mikami, head of the International UFO Lab and editor-in-chief of the monthly occult magazine Mu.
U.S. Japan’s military has reportedly been given instructions to photograph and record unexplained objects in the sky as early as 2020, Japan reported, despite lawmakers actively seeking and investigating decades-long UFO conspiracies. News. This indicates a growing interest in UFO phenomena and a desire to document and understand them in a Japanese context.
The concentration of reported UFO sightings in the Middle East is a significant and daunting challenge, especially in active war zones. As Jeremy Corbel, an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker who played a key role in congressional UAP hearings, pointed out in a previous interview with Fox News Digital, combatants often face uncertainty about the origin of these unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). This lack of clarity leads to potential risks, as people may not know whose property or goods they are dealing with.
Karbel shared an image of the “Mosul Orb,” which he described as raising additional concerns, particularly because of the risk of unintended crossfire. With the potential for misidentification in such situations to have devastating consequences, action is imperative to ensure the safety of service members operating in these areas.
In recent years, there has been a marked increase in UAP reports, in part due to the stigma surrounding the topic and growing efforts in Congress to address the potential security risks associated with unexplained aerial objects.
The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) recently launched a comprehensive website aimed at enhancing transparency and promoting the reporting of UFO sightings. The website acts as a “one-stop shop” and provides safe channels for current and former military personnel and government contractors to report their views. The aim is to collect more data and provide a platform for people to share their observations.
Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, announced during a press briefing that the new website will provide the public with information on resolved UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) cases. It includes assorted videos and photos along with various resources like reports, trends, FAQs, official reports, transcripts, press releases, and other useful materials.
In addition, the Senate passed the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Disclosure Act, which states that all federal government records related to UAP should be deemed immediately available for disclosure. While the exact number of these records is unknown, the law highlights that “credible evidence and testimony” indicates that such documents have not been subject to classification or mandatory declassification review under the Freedom of Information Act.
