'UFO Boy' Captivates Japan

A teenager in Japan has become something of a sensation on the country's social media sites due to his purported ability to communicate with UFOs. Haruya Ido has been dubbed 'UFO Boy' by the researcher, Toshitaro Yamaguchi, who discovered the young man and his alleged psychic skills. To that end, Yamaguchi told Japanese media that Ido can sense, via telepathy, where a UFO will be and, in turn, photograph the object.

Backing up the UFO researcher's bold assertion are four images of anomalous objects which were taken by Ido from different locations in Japan over the course of the last year. While the oddities in the photos are not particularly spectacular, if they were truly all captured by the same witness, it does make one wonder if there is a connection between the boy and the phenomenon. For his part, Yamachuchi likened Ido's ability to "shamanism" and the teen's story have gone viral on Japanese social media.

Remarkably, the veteran UFO researcher said that such 'UFO boys' are not altogether rare phenomenon as, in the past, other youngsters have been said to boast the same ability to communicate with craft. However, Ido is the first to appear on the scene in quite some time, which Yamaguchi hopes is a promising sign for the future, since, at 70 years old, he's uncertain how much longer he can chase the phenomenon. Perhaps the teen can alleviate those concerns by conjuring a craft in the sky for him.
