Utsuro Bune: Ancient Extraterrestrial Encounter With A ‘Hollow Ship’ And An Alien Visitor
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Who was the mysterious woman who spoke a language no-one could understand? What was inside the box she held in her hands?
What was the meaning of the markings on the round metal object she arrived in?
An intriguing document called Hyouryuukishuu, translated as 'Tales of Castaways', is kept at the Iwase Bunko Depository Library in Japan. The document tells an intriguing story of an encounter with an extraterrestrial near the village of Harashagahama or, according to some sources, Hara-Yadori, near Tokyo.
On February 22, 1803, the event took place when a saucer-shaped ship of iron and glass allegedly washed ashore on the coast. The object was 6 meters wide and carried a young woman with very white skin.
The event created a stir in the village, and people rushed down to see the unusual object. This object became later known as Utsuro Bune ("Hollow ship").
Several people approached this curious round object in their own boats and managed to tow it to the beach.
