Utsuro-Bune: The Hollow (Space?) Ship (Ep. 78)
We’re being visited by UAPs, Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. Or you might be more familiar with their older name: UFOs. There is a lot of interesting news coming out these days. You’ve probably seen it.
Well, guess what, they’ve been coming for quite awhile and I have proof.
Today let’s talk about the utsuro-bune (虚舟) or utsuro-fune, the legend of the hollow ship.
