"Let's prepare to fight aliens" - Japanese Government Officials Acknowledge UFO Existence
A report from CORRIERE.IT dated December 21, 2007, details statements from two high-ranking Japanese government officials. Shigeru Ishiba, the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, stated that Japan must prepare for a potential attack by aliens. He, along with other officials, has begun to speak officially about the existence of unidentified objects. Nobutaka Machimura, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, admitted during a press conference that while the government can only offer stereotyped responses to persistent questions about UFOs, he personally believes they exist. Ishiba further commented that there is no reason to deny the existence of unidentified objects, suggesting they are controlled by another form of life. He also expressed a desire to verify if the Japanese military is capable of facing an alien attack, noting that Japanese troops often play a role in such scenarios in films. He also pointed out that Japanese legislation does not yet have directives for dealing with an extraterrestrial invasion. Both officials emphasized that these were personal opinions.
The article also notes Japan's pacifist constitution, which renounces military forces for war and prohibits participation in international conflicts, with Tokyo having only Self-Defense Forces since World War II.

Asteroid on a Collision Course with Mars
An article from IL MESSAGGERO dated December 22, 2007, reports that an asteroid, designated "2007 WDS," has a 1 in 75 chance of impacting Mars by January 30th. The asteroid's size is comparable to the one that caused the Tunguska event in Siberia in 1908, which released energy equivalent to 15 megatons of nuclear force. If the impact occurs, it is expected near the planet's equator, not far from where the NASA rover "Opportunity" has been exploring. NASA astronomer Steve Chesley stated that while an impact on Earth would be concerning, this event is not, but it is exciting.
