Japan’s first lady claims alien abduction 20 years ago

Japan’s new first lady claims she has visited Venus — and met Tom Cruise in a previous life.

Miyuki Hatoyama, 66, a former dancer, believes she was abducted by aliens as she slept one night 20 years ago, then whisked off into space. She told the story in a book titled Very Strange Things I’ve Encountered, reports The Guardian.

“While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus. It was a very beautiful place, and it was very green,” she wrote. By coincidence, Miyuki’s husband, Japan’s new prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama, has been nicknamed ‘the Alien’ by his parliamentary colleagues for his otherworldly manner and prominent eyes.

Hatoyama appears unruffled by his wife’s idiosyncrasies, saying: “I feel relieved when I get home. She is like an energy-refueling base.”

Miyuki has also claimed, in a television interview, that she met Tom Cruise in a previous life. Cruise, she insisted, “would recognize me when I see him and say, ‘Long time, no see!’ “
