AI-Generated Summary
This 1966 Airgram from the American Embassy in Tokyo addresses a 1962 newspaper report regarding a potential space vehicle sighting in Nemuro, Japan. The Embassy dismissed the validity of the observations as dubious.
This document is an Airgram dated May 18, 1966, from the American Embassy in Tokyo to the Department of State. It addresses a request for information regarding a sighting of an object, possibly originating from a space vehicle, which was reported in the Japanese newspaper The Yomiuri in May 1962. The report in question appeared in the evening edition of May 10 and the morning edition of May 11, 1962, concerning observations in Nemuro. The Embassy clarified that, to their knowledge, no other newspapers covered these specific observations. Furthermore, the Embassy explicitly stated that the validity of the observations seemed dubious to them. The document includes a reference to a previous Department of State communication (CW-9986, June 14, 1962) and Embassy telegram 3905. An enclosure containing the press item from The Yomiuri was included with the correspondence.
Since the Department's instruction requesting information of this sort is quite old, we would appreciate being informed whether telegraphic notification is still desired in cases such as this where the validity of the observations seem dubious.
