This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Japanese government declassifies any files pertaining to extraterrestrial life and/or unexplained aerial phenomena which were not previously publicly available between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, only information from the national Government of Japan will qualify. Information from individual prefectures or municipalities will not be sufficient to resolve this market. Announcements of declassifications that are not implemented within this market's timeframe will not count. The primary resolution source for declassification will be official information from the government of Japan; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Japan maintains a restrained, case-by-case approach to UAP matters, with the Ministry of Defense historically releasing only limited public summaries and no active national disclosure program, parliamentary mandate, or announced timelines for declassifying previously non-public files through 2026. Following the U.S. Pentagon’s May 2026 PURSUE releases that included sightings near Japanese territory, Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara emphasized ongoing analysis and U.S. coordination while highlighting risks to intelligence-gathering methods. A March 2026 bipartisan proposal for a specialized UAP office under the Cabinet Secretariat has not advanced to legislation. These factors support trader consensus that Japan is unlikely to declassify new files by year-end, absent major policy shifts or legislative action.
