TOKYO (Reuters) – “Japan’s next prime minister might be nicknamed “the alien,” but it’s his wife who claims to have had a close encounter with another world.”

“While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus,” Miyuki Hatoyama, the wife of premier-in-waiting Yukio Hatoyama, wrote in a book published last year.

“It was a very beautiful place and it was really green,” says Hatoyama.

“Yukio Hatoyama is due to be voted in as premier on September 16 following his party’s crushing election victory over the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Sunday,” reports Reuters.


According to Reuters, Miyuki, 66, described the extraterrestrial experience, which she said took place some 20 years ago, in a book entitled “Very Strange Things I’ve Encountered.”

“When she awoke, Japan’s next first lady wrote, she told her now ex-husband that she had just been to Venus – He advised her that it was probably just a dream,” reports Reuters.

About Miyuki Hatoyama, she was born 1943 Shanghai, China and is the wife of Prime Minister-designate of Japan Yukio Hatoyama. Hatoyama, originally an actress by profession, describes herself as “constantly curious” and a “life composer,” who pursues a variety of interests, including a stylist, interior designer and cookbook author.

In an interview, Prime Minister-designate Yukio Hatoyama credited Miyuki with his professional success and praised her enthusiasm. Hatoyama has indicated that Miyuki will take an unusually prominent role for a Japanese First Lady during his administration.
