Looking closer, he could see that it was a very unusual flying machine, dark and cigar-shaped.

 | Nagoya City, Aichi, October 4, 1975:At 02:00 p.m. on October 4, 1975, high school student Hirohito Tanaka watched a small bell-shaped flying object descend to near ground level in a "falling-leaf" kind of motion. It left a trail of white vapor or exhaust in its wake as it flew. Near the ground it steadied, leveled off, and flew away horizontally until it was out of sight. He grabbed his camera and ran to the balcony where he managed to snap several black and white photographs of the ship. When the white trail drifted to the ground it was found to consist of spider-web-like filamentary substance that evaporated away in a few minutes. The white material seemed to be ejected from the top part of the small ship. |
 | Nagoya City, Aichi, April 9, 1976:At 2:00pm on April 9, 1976, Hirohito Tanaka saw the small dark circular flying object with the raised dome in the center.

The domed disc was moving in zig-zag and falling-leaf fashion as it flew about in the near sky. It was dark colored and he could not see much detail, only noting its strange movements, well aware that no airplane known to him could perform such maneuvers. |

Mr. Matsushita adjusted his camera and took several pictures of the strange object before it disappeared. |
