Japan’s government has maintained a measured, security-first approach to UAP information since the U.S. began rolling PURSUE releases in May 2026. Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara stated in May that Tokyo is analyzing U.S. files—including incidents near Japanese airspace—while coordinating with allies, but any domestic disclosure would occur only on a strict case-by-case basis after weighing risks to intelligence capabilities. A cross-party parliamentary group proposed centralizing collection under the Cabinet Secretariat, and Japan established a new National Intelligence Bureau in July for broader coordination, yet neither step includes a public release program or timeline. No official announcements or legislative actions signal imminent declassification of previously non-public Japanese UAP records before year-end, supporting trader expectations of no new files in 2026.
