UFOs: Alien Attack 'Unlikely', Says Japan

People can sleep a little bit easier as the government of Japan considers UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) not a national security threat.

According to the Asahi Shimbun:

The government may be making contingency plans to deal with a possible ballistic missile attack by North Korea, but it has confirmed Japan has one less high-flying national security threat to worry about--UFOs. 

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Cabinet on Feb. 27 approved an official response about the threat from unidentified flying objects that said "their existence has not been confirmed" and "we have not made any particular consideration of how to respond should one fly into Japan." 

The response was made to questions raised by Seiji Osaka, a Lower House member of the opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan. 

Osaka pointed to a recent article in The New York Times about a secret study on UFOs conducted by the U.S. Defense Department between 2007 and 2012.
