Japan has instilled new rules for their military personnel in charge of investigating UFOs just after the Pentagon has announced their search and sighting of a UFO. The Japanese Defense Department is encouraging all citizens to photograph any foreign objects that they might sight.

The country's Defense Minister has issued a requirement that members of Japan Self Defense Forces record any sightings or relative sighting of UFOS. This is "due to an increase in the use of drones and other objects that fly differently from conventional airplanes," claims the Defense Department.
