To the best of my knowledge, the first time that something was published in a book which suggested a link between Roswell and human experimentation using Japanese people in 47, was in 1991 in the pages of Leonard Stringfield’s “Inner Sanctum” book on crashed UFO stories.

In the previous year, John Keel had discussed in “Fate” mag the idea of a Japanese angle to the Roswell debris.

Keel also confirmed in a later “Fate” article that he had info on file from people who had contacted him concerning rumors of manned-versions of the Japanese “Fugo Balloons”.

Then in 1997, “Popular Mechanics” published a story that linked Japanese wartime research with Roswell.

I have an article in the first issue of Stuart Miller’s forthcoming “Alien Worlds” magazine that updates on what I’ve uncovered since publication of “Body-Snatchers,” including officially declassified files on 1940s events at Lincoln County, NM (where Brazel found the wreckage) that refer to Japanese balloon flights and biowarfare, and the death of a young boy in the area by what was suspected of being biowar that was Japanese in origin.

The issue in question is published in early February.

These are official files declassified via the FOIA that I suspect will create a lot of controversy.

There is nothing intriguing about it. Apparently someone who did not know any better, thought that the NSA would have information on something where clearly “no records exist”. The NSA should have titled that search page, “UFO Related Information (silly search terms submitted by the public that returned no records because there are no records)”, that way there would be no misunderstandings. Obviously the listing is of SEARCH TERMS used by an uninformed PUBLIC, not what the NSA considers credible or legitimate.

I’m not sure it’s vindication as such, but it would definitely be interesting to know what prompted the NSA to list the Unit 731 request in that section.
