Mysterious 200 year old hand drawn Japanese accounts of a strange women from a metal bowl/disk shaped craft that flew out of the sea during the edo period of Japan.

From abovetopsecret.com:

Intriguing 200 year old story from Japan:

A well recorded and little known event in the Western world would be the events of the Utsuro Bune. This is a myth dating from circa 1800 Japan. It states that a USO ( unidentified submerged object) washed up on the shore. The inhabitants of the village witnessed the object on the shore stating that is was spherical with strange writing on it. Out of the capsule came a woman dressed in fine clothing. She spoke a different language and was not able to communicate with the locals.

The Iwase Bunko Library has in its possession a document entitled Hyouryuukishuu (�Tales of Castaways�), which was printed during the late Edo period (1603-1868):

According to the document, this vessel washed ashore at Harashagahama in Hitachi-no-kuni (present-day Ibaraki prefecture):

Together with these tales is the report of a damaged ship with a extremely mystifying form. According to the record, this large craft washed shorewards at Harashagahama. The specifications of the craft, specified as 3 meters tall by 5 meters in width, had been built from red sandalwood and metal and was equipped with openings of glass or crystal:

The mystifying characters of an unfamiliar writing system were discovered etched inside the craft. Aboard the wandering vessel was a delicately decorated young lady with pale face and red eyebrows and locks. She was assessed to be amid Eighteen and Twenty years of age. Considering that she uttered an unfamiliar language, those that chanced upon her were incapable of determining from where she came.
In her arms, she grasped a basic timber case that looked to be of great importance to her, as she would permit nobody to approach it.

Great find, Jurgen!!
Imo, there are just too many stories like this from an age where there was no global communication and yet so many different cultures and areas of the world have very similar stories. I think it goes way beyond coincidence. Imo, that IS a kind of evidence that we have been visited for centuries.

It's a nice case and all, but in the report it sais that the red part is made of wood. I don;t think ufos would be made of wood.

[Carol Nistri]

but the design Jurg,the design.When you think of it all,how could a women crawl out of that thing and be oriental,how could the craft be made of wood,so not to scare anyone,what if the craft were made of metal,what if the women was cacasion that would frigten people,pretty clever these dudes.

[Jurgen]

It was partly wood, partly metal. Could be they have these mimic properties you speak of, I dunno. To strengthen your argument... Japanese people also weren't familiar with round craft. They never built round ships themselves. It looks like a modern life rafts.
