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 no dedicated national program or legislative mandate for systematic UAP disclosure through the end of 2026. In May 2026, following U.S. PURSUE releases that included footage near Japanese airspace, Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara confirmed Tokyo holds its own UAP material and is coordinating analysis with allies, yet stated any releases would occur strictly case-by-case after weighing risks to intelligence capabilities. A cross-party parliamentary group proposed a centralized Cabinet Office framework in March and May 2026, but no implementing legislation, scheduled releases, or policy shift has followed. Recent defense priorities under Prime Minister Takaichi emphasize AI integration and spending targets rather than transparency initiatives, leaving traders to price in procedural and security-driven barriers to any new Japanese declassifications before year-end.
