Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet? The Captain and the film crew believed it wasOther observers had many different explanationsSome say it was Venus (金星)Some say it was just a trick of lightThe people on the aeroplane were not the only ones who saw the “UFO”An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screenWhen a reporter asked him if he believed in UFOs, he said, “I don’ t know what they are but I’ve got an open mind on them” Like many scientists, he thought that a flock of birds caused dots on his radar screen when the “UFO” appeared.

According to Japanese media, about eight thousand people are dead and more than twelve thousand people are missing . More than 300-thousand people have been forced to leave their homes and more than 200 thousand are staying in public shelters.

According to Japan's nuclear safety agency up to 190 people may have been exposed to radiation from the Fukushima nuclear power plant(核电站).
