Groundbreaking UAP Live Debate Scheduled for September 19, 2025
On September 19, 2025, at 19:00 JST, an extraordinary live event titled "U.S.-Japan UAP Grand Debate II" will unfold on the popular streaming platform Nico Nico. This special program will feature high-profile figures, including the chairperson of Japan's UFO parliamentary league, Yasuhisa Hamada, and experts from Harvard University and around the globe. The debate aims to discuss recent phenomena surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and make sense of several intriguing cases.
In April 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense made headlines by officially releasing footage of UAP encountered by Navy pilots, prompting a surge of interest in the subject. Responding to this global phenomenon, Nico Nico has actively produced unique programming that brings together Japanese and American lawmakers, former senior government officials, and international researchers, as it endeavors to shed light on UAP discussions through live broadcasts.
As interest in UAPs grows in Japan, the UFO parliamentary league has been featured in various media, reflecting the expanding societal curiosity surrounding the topic. The upcoming special broadcast will delve into several fascinating examples, such as the interstellar object ‘3I/ATLAS’ that is nearing our solar system, and the mysterious three lights observed over the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant in Kyushu.
The roundtable will host various recognized individuals including:
- - Yasuhisa Hamada: Former Minister of Defense and current chairperson of the UFO parliamentary league.
- - Watanabe Shu: Former Deputy Minister of Defense, who serves as the vice chair of the league.
- - Atsushi Suzuki: House of Representatives member and chair of the parliamentary alliance.
- - Yoshiharu Asakawa: Former House Representative and founding secretary-general of the UFO parliamentary league, who now leads the General Incorporated Association for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Studies.
- - Ryo Kikuchi: A philosopher and interpreter well-versed in UAP-related matters.
- - Isamu Nanao: A political reporter and producer in charge of political affairs at Dwango.
From the United States, two distinguished guests will join the discussion online.
Avi Loeb, a professor of Astronomy at Harvard University, will provide insights on the interstellar object, while
Ross Coulthart, a journalist from NewsNation, will conduct a public inquiry into the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant incident.
Additionally, the program will present previously unreleased footage from the hearing conducted by the UFO parliamentary league with stakeholders related to the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant on August 7.
