Iinomachi's UFO Hot Spot: From Four Decades of Lights to Museums, a Lab, and a Festival

Iinomachi, Fukushima, has built a UFO-themed identity around decades of sightings near the 462-meter Senganmori mountain, featuring a UFO museum, the International UFO Lab where retired chemicals-industry worker Tetsu Konno works as a researcher, and a 2022 UFO festival that draws about 30,000 visitors a year while the town’s population declines.
