you're going to call a traditional hand crafted wooden spaceship cheap, what planet are you from? Nothing "traditional hand crafted wooden" is cheap in a advanced society with mass manufacturing.
You are right but we don’t know about their currency so it could be expensive or it just could be like those videos that say “Surviving in Russia day with 1 dollar”
Beautiful young girl washes up on a small boat with little food, she seems friendly and utterly harmless. Better stuff her back in the boat and set her back adrift! 🤷♂️
Kkkkrsh! Uhhhhh. Better send this chick back oh her death boat, uhhh. Kssssh! She seems completely harmless, but we are going to most certainly send her to her death. Krssshh!
To be fair, that would of been the appropriate thing to do at that time. Japan had an isolation policy that meant that even “foreigners” who entered into Japan would of been killed or forcibly kicked out. And it was actually common for neighboring countries like russia to accidentally have their fishing boats land in Japan.
You fools, it's obviously a shapeshifting high tech spaceship that disguised itself as a wooden boat to fool us humans! The alien also just took on the form of a Westerner because they thought they landed in America! You are fools! All of you!
No. Japanese people were aware of people with hair color other than black. And the color isn’t crazy. It’s just either inspired by real red headed people, or by a fox’s tail.
Well if you send a woman out to sea with no supplies or well a sturdy boat she will drown pretty easily. If she even touches the main sea and she would be screwed

OMG wait her story of falling in love and being sent in the sea after that sounds REALLY really similar to a Russian tale called "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" there was Tsar's wife, who was tucked into a barrel and sent into the sea with her son, because her sisters told the Tsar (he was in war) that his wife gave birth to some kind of a creature, but not a child (I mean there was apparently no son in this Japanese story, but hey, it sounds very similar). I guess you can find the English translation of the tale in a book "Russian Wonder Tales" by Post Wheeler Edit: Maybe this Japanese author has heard the Russian tale and decided to interpret it in the way he did. Edit 2: I should have watched the video till the end (hehe). Well, I find this story very interesting due to it's (kind of) similarity with Russian tale about a woman being sent away (to die) in the sea in some sort of a hollow wooden boat P.S. Hello from Russia, btw

Very plausible since there is an ocean current that travels from the north towards the coast of Japan. It is technically no that far, so it might take a week or so to reach japan with that ocean current. I mean, a surfboard took 2 years to drift from Hawaii to the Philippines. That is like 20x the distance.
- She is human - She is friendly - She eats human food - She speaks a language - The boat is made of wood - The boat is never observed to be able to fly - The boat is low tech and it can't even move by itself *MUST BE ALIENS*

Imagine being an extraterrestrial that managed to reach the Earth with just a wooden boat in order to befriend some humans, greeting them, asking for privacy regarding your box of underwear and then being _rudely tossed back into the ocean after a little while._ _These humans nowadays have no manners._
The term extraterrestrial always confused me. If I heard the word for the first time without any substance or reference, i would think "more of the earth" not "out of this world"
If you think about it this reminds me of a reentry capsule. The kind that would be used by astronauts to get back to Earth . The lower half was perhaps designed to withstand reentry and the upper part was perhaps made of some carbon based alloy.
Contrary to popular belief by westerners, it was actually quite common for foreign fishing boats, especially from Russia, to abruptly land in Japan during the isolation period. The existence of other countries such as the U.S. were already known in Japan at that time due to the shared information from the Dutch. Japan also had multiple contact with the Russians in the north at this point.
@@HerohammerStudios The source is history. If the references to these incidents are there then you're perfectly capable of finding them yourself. The OP is under no obligation to do that for you, or anyone else.
I can't help but think of her reaction when they sent her back out to sea.. "Land, I'm saved" "Hmmm, pretty girl, can't interrupt her destiny" "Ahhh crap"
You know, after going on a youtube binge and seeing a TON of channels exploiting peoples lack of knowlege/research on various historical topics for things like ufos and the paranormal, I really appreciate you taking a more realistic and factual view of what might have happened. (not trying to say ufos are impossible or not real, just that it's a big trend right now to attribute anything we don't understand to ufos and i appreciate your honest approach!)
I think angels ( inter dimensional beings) are no more outlandish than ETs or what ancients called “gods.” Both are inter dimensional creatures. It’s just angels are too associated with hated religion nowadays.
For the time it was completely normal, the main meme of its day so to speak. Along with drawing winged naked babies everywhere, every scene has to have someone with pigeon wings in it. That's just how you conveyed holiness in paintings.
Goodness, I cannot take ancient astronaut theorists seriously. Their "theories" just don't hold up. I feel I have more common sense then the so-called "theorists". Even a college student like me could have better sense then them. XD
@Kapt'n Pee they once claimed that aliens visited an American civilisation because they had a statue of a human with a beard and the people who lived there didnt have beards
"I saw an American princess drift ashore in a hollow boat." "Yeah? Well, my cousin was abducted by Princess Kaguya one time!" "I've got you all beat. I was hunting a couple months ago and came across this wild ape-man!" "So that's why Kebukai stopped stealing my fruit..."
a god sent himself into the womb of a virgin then he (?) was born, became a cult leader WHILE still kinda being in the sky and keeping the mother alive so that she can witness the execution of her then already outlaw son. hollow boats and found gingers... come on, think big!
" I heard some people disappeared off the Canary Islands after a fishing boat with a coffin came in about a few years ago and strange things started happening such as a Japanese school boy being possessed, and now there are two that are possessed."
I remember being very intrigued by that first two-hour Ancient Aliens special on the History Channel. They worked closely with Erich von Daniken and posed some interesting, if dubious, possibilities, theories, and What-if scenarios. It also renewed my interest in ancient history and astronomy. However, when I heard HC was planning on turning it into a weekly ongoing series I knew that things were going to get hokey af.
I grew up in the 60s & 70s. That kind of content was common on some late-night radio shows. My mom was very into the whole psychics/space aliens thing...
@@trinacogitating4532I mean both subjects are still kind of a thing today, we still don't really understand hypnosis and any alien sighting could be real because we genuinely have no clue if they are out there or if they've ever visited us. It's why so many people are so fascinated with them
As soon as I heard it, it reeked of influence from Japanese folklore. I was unaware of the likely inspiration but it shares similarities to stories such as the tale of Princess Kaguya or the Legend of Momotaro. Following the mysterious appearing from nowhere motif (in this case referring to derived Momotaro). The exiled princess motif also shows up in Kaguya except in that story the explanation given is that she's an actual alien, not a foreigner. The mysterious child also has to leave in both of these "alien" stories. The so-called "mysterious characters" resemble a mixture of generic geometric shapes and garbled kanji. Using the text on the left at 5:33 I have a tentative identification of the characters they butchered 正口吉.
Could you do a video on the "Jersey Devil" ? The backstory is quite interesting and odd. (I grew up in the "Pine Barrens" of NJ so I've been hearing stories my whole life)
Barn owls, basking sharks and weather balloons are the holy trinity of mainstream science trying but failing badly to debunk the obvious..... gets old, real quick.
The story sounded plausible for a while, especially when they mentioned her hair extensions and the comparison to that of Russian women because that is actually quite accurate. But then came the convenient stock character "wise and experienced old man whose name nobody remembers because he's so old and mystic" who just happened to know that she was a princess from a faraway exotic land, exiled by her father the king for loving another man after marriage and carries the severed head of her illegitimate partner in a wooden box. Because of course there just happens to be an old man NPC nearby who is the only one that knows the fairy tale backstory of this complete stranger.
You're failing to acknowledge that it could be a true story that was just heavily embellished. To most Japanese people of the time the whole situation would've been extremely odd, so making it seem more odd for the writing of it into a book isn't that strange at all. It could've also been literally some old dude who used to explore Russia telling people she was a foreign princess because she looked Russian and was wearing nice clothes, or even just because she was alone/on her own ship. It isn't even that unbelievable if you correlate what was said with what would've realistically happened during the time and at that place.
@@Jiub_SN Yeah, that's always possible. Maybe some random Russian chick sailed up in an odd looking boat and then left, and the people just added in other details to make it sound cooler.
I honestly think this story is more interesting and compelling without extraterrestrial explanations. We live in a world that is still largely unknown to us. It would have been doubly so in the past.
Oposum unfortunately this channel is discontinued due to COPPA and that my channel can't keep up But my second channel "cryptozoologist Vlogger" is still up and running and ill do some cryptid videos on that soon
dude i love your vids and all was fun until 7:23 when "the woman and the boat were then pushed back to sea and never seen again" lmao my heart was CRUSHED i wasn't prepared
some of those characters recorded as being on the boat look like they could be korean, i think it's a good possibility she came from korea how many places could one leave and arrive in japan safely in a boat like that?
That sounds AMAZING to add to a time travel and conspiracy story, like imagine a X-files like show with an episode dedicated to this, where a Caucasian woman that previously had her hair dyed white and later grew back her red hair, got back in time to this era in Japan in a time machine that looks like the hollow boat, the box would be a computer or something
I can disprove this theory! E.L. Wallace is my dad, and I asked him if this was true myself! He said it was highly unlikely that the “off-the-books” Daughter he sent adrift in the Atlantic Ocean hundreds ago couldn’t have possibly made it all the way to japan.
By the logic of Ancient Aliens, in two hundred years everyone's going to think there were superheroes running around and New York got destroyed like 12 times. Apparently nobody made stuff up in ancient times
11:14 i can’t believe that a Japanese fisherman in a closed state in 1803 didn’t know the exact political state of a country on the other side of the planet
I think this account tells you all you need to know about the Japanese as a culture. "Yeah we found a mysterious beautiful women in a weird ship it's all very exciting anyhow here's exact measurements and cited references for everything."
Granted, most of those monks aren't American princesses. Or, for that matter, people you could mistake for one. Monks and princesses have opposed fashion senses, for one thing; monks like cheap stuff, royalty likes conspicuous consumption.
The box she holds in interesting because alot of cultures have art work that show these visiting beings that bring knowlege holding boxes or what look like handbags.
9:31 Wow, you just made me hungry. But I agree on that term. Calling that boat a UFO is a big stretch. Just an ordinary girl from a different Country that travel around in her circular wooden boat home. But of course the story can get fictional or fake, that's for sure. Long story short: If a person says that he saw an Alien or read some untrue stories without thinking about what's right or wrong, they're then full of bullcrap.
it’s unidentified (they don’t know who owns it or where it came from), it’s floating, and it’s an object - sounds like an Unidentified Floating Object to me
Hmmm...I congratulate your studios approach to this topic but may I point some things out to you. 1/ In Japan there was only knowledge of basic alloys like bronze. Metals like gold, silver, steel and iron were also understood however they had no knowledge of aluminium or plastics. Tribal peoples who have had limited contact with the outside world often describe plastic as a type of wood so it is not within the realms of impossibility that the wood they described was an alloy or plastic they did not understand. 2/ Warlords who did not have lands directly on the coast often negotiated with landholders in coastal areas to allow them access or, in some cases, it was understood by the coastal landowners that the feudal lord had right of access and considered such areas as part of his fiefdom. 3/ If you look at women's hairstyles in history there is very little in the way of descriptions of natural hair being tied off with extensions until the modern period. 4/ UFOs, according to enthusiasts, have interiors which appear plain without instrumentation. 5/ No Asian culture in that time period created metal-bottomed boats and round metal bottom boats in the west at that time were largely unheard of. So you can see that this incident may very well have been a UFO encounter. Primitive people, when faced with technology they do not understand, describe such technology using tropes and concepts they do understand. Look at the cargo cult which grew out of first contact with US airman and their planes in the Pacific islands in WW2. See here: ua-cam.com/video/dVZ9bPRTiIA/v-deo.html
This opens up ideas for authors to produce any kinds of stories, including time travel, like what if the girl was a time traveler who seeks answers to her ordinary life problems in the modern times
I can see that. And the fact they didn't show up on the government's documents is because she tried to clear it up as good as she could, without knowing the small sheets of the townsfolk.
Yeah. Trying to make a Doctor Who fan fic out of it. But why on Earth would the companion end up in a wooden ship? Maybe the Tardis regained its disguise mechanism and turned from a policebox into a local round boat?
@@Carewolf Go for it vol2 it would make a great fanfic. I'd also assume that the box was The TARDIS or at least, somehow, the girls way out of her situation, since she wasn't showing what's inside to anyone.
nobody 69 The description and images of that “UFO” remind me of a space capsule, the one that land in the sea so the astronauts inside can be recovered safely so it might as well have to do with time travelling

I admit, I was a little disappointed. I was expecting something super bizarre, like a half-human half-animal hybrid inside the ship. Instead, it's more mundane than the opening of the video built it up to be.
it is a half human hybrid, did you hear they have red hair, obviously has some demon in them, at least half hence the red hair as a by product of their destroyed soul
I think that saying authors who didn't have access to government records getting places and people wrong isn't to suggest they aren't real. That and the government and the locals may have f different names for areas as can still happen today, but was more common in the past. Also, the recording of outsider interactions also wouldn't necessarily have been recorded, as the interaction as written would've happened quickly and it's likely it wouldn't have spread very much if at all and the government may have not even caught wind of it. Not saying it really happened, but the things used to disprove it are just as inconclusive as those that prove it, as any number of variations could've effected the writings we have. Saying it's likely fake is as supported as saying it's likely real. This is just a UA-cam video, but your claims aren't backed and anyone who has watched this video should look into the actual scholarly research into the matter, as his video leaves way too much out or completely ignores counter points to much of what he says. Humans aren't computers that completely accurately record events being a big one, and that is especially true for a feudal society like japan was at the time
love your videos . i remember hearing this story many times and am glad i now know its history. thank you. have you considered covering the Green children of Woolpit legend ?
16:06 also kind reminds me of the story about Princess Kaguya, and there's probably more with that recurring theme of finding a mysterious girl inside something
Russian and European folklore has some women in barrels or caskets thrown into a sea or a river after being accused. Or just put on a boat without any paddles or any crew to man the ship. Also a whole lot of kids turn out floating in some kind of an improvised vessel.

The term extraterrestrial always confused me. If I heard the word for the first time without any substance or reference, i would think "more of the earth" not "out of this world"
@@codeninja1 it's the latin "extra", essentially meaning "outside" or "beyond"
If you think about it this reminds me of a reentry capsule. The kind that would be used by astronauts to get back to Earth . The lower half was perhaps designed to withstand reentry and the upper part was perhaps made of some carbon based alloy.
Aliens would encounter “scientists” that believe a man can get pregnant… and would promptly run like hell!!
Your tone comes across to me as extremely disrespectful. I cannot imagine the pain the princess must have felt by the cruelty of the Japanese.
Contrary to popular belief by westerners, it was actually quite common for foreign fishing boats, especially from Russia, to abruptly land in Japan during the isolation period. The existence of other countries such as the U.S. were already known in Japan at that time due to the shared information from the Dutch. Japan also had multiple contact with the Russians in the north at this point.

Both are inter dimensional creatures. It’s just angels are too associated with hated religion nowadays.

I remember being very intrigued by that first two-hour Ancient Aliens special on the History Channel. They worked closely with Erich von Daniken and posed some interesting, if dubious, possibilities, theories, and What-if scenarios. It also renewed my interest in ancient history and astronomy. However, when I heard HC was planning on turning it into a weekly ongoing series I knew that things were going to get hokey af.

As soon as I heard it, it reeked of influence from Japanese folklore. I was unaware of the likely inspiration but it shares similarities to stories such as the tale of Princess Kaguya or the Legend of Momotaro. Following the mysterious appearing from nowhere motif (in this case referring to derived Momotaro). The exiled princess motif also shows up in Kaguya except in that story the explanation given is that she's an actual alien, not a foreigner. The mysterious child also has to leave in both of these "alien" stories. The so-called "mysterious characters" resemble a mixture of generic geometric shapes and garbled kanji. Using the text on the left at 5:33 I have a tentative identification of the characters they butchered 正口吉.

I'm obsessed with your channel and it's getting me through Quarantine. Have a grsat day.
The story sounded plausible for a while, especially when they mentioned her hair extensions and the comparison to that of Russian women because that is actually quite accurate. But then came the convenient stock character "wise and experienced old man whose name nobody remembers because he's so old and mystic" who just happened to know that she was a princess from a faraway exotic land, exiled by her father the king for loving another man after marriage and carries the severed head of her illegitimate partner in a wooden box. Because of course there just happens to be an old man NPC nearby who is the only one that knows the fairy tale backstory of this complete stranger.
You're failing to acknowledge that it could be a true story that was just heavily embellished. To most Japanese people of the time the whole situation would've been extremely odd, so making it seem more odd for the writing of it into a book isn't that strange at all. It could've also been literally some old dude who used to explore Russia telling people she was a foreign princess because she looked Russian and was wearing nice clothes, or even just because she was alone/on her own ship. It isn't even that unbelievable if you correlate what was said with what would've realistically happened during the time and at that place.
@@Jiub_SN Yeah, that's always possible. Maybe some random Russian chick sailed up in an odd looking boat and then left, and the people just added in other details to make it sound cooler.

I can disprove this theory! E.L. Wallace is my dad, and I asked him if this was true myself! He said it was highly unlikely that the “off-the-books” Daughter he sent adrift in the Atlantic Ocean hundreds ago couldn’t have possibly made it all the way to japan.

It's no wonder they got along so well with the Germans
(except for 1915)
First thought
“Wait didn’t some monks seal themselves in boats and get pushed out to sea? Couldn’t this just be a janky boat coffin?”
Granted, most of those monks aren't American princesses. Or, for that matter, people you could mistake for one. Monks and princesses have opposed fashion senses, for one thing; monks like cheap stuff, royalty likes conspicuous consumption.
You should watch Mononoke(anime not ghibli one) there is a similar story abou utsuro fune

The box she holds in interesting because alot of cultures have art work that show these visiting beings that bring knowlege holding boxes or what look like handbags.
9:31 Wow, you just made me hungry.
But I agree on that term. Calling that boat a UFO is a big stretch. Just an ordinary girl from a different Country that travel around in her circular wooden boat home. But of course the story can get fictional or fake, that's for sure.
Long story short: If a person says that he saw an Alien or read some untrue stories without thinking about what's right or wrong, they're then full of bullcrap.
I mean it's neither unidentified or flying, the only thing it is, is an object but that hardly makes it special.
it’s unidentified (they don’t know who owns it or where it came from), it’s floating, and it’s an object - sounds like an Unidentified Floating Object to me

Missed you. So crazy how they had more records in 1803 than most european villages in the 1900’s. Keep it coming please
Hmmm...I congratulate your studios approach to this topic but may I point some things out to you.
1/ In Japan there was only knowledge of basic alloys like bronze. Metals like gold, silver, steel and iron were also understood however they had no knowledge of aluminium or plastics. Tribal peoples who have had limited contact with the outside world often describe plastic as a type of wood so it is not within the realms of impossibility that the wood they described was an alloy or plastic they did not understand.
2/ Warlords who did not have lands directly on the coast often negotiated with landholders in coastal areas to allow them access or, in some cases, it was understood by the coastal landowners that the feudal lord had right of access and considered such areas as part of his fiefdom.
3/ If you look at women's hairstyles in history there is very little in the way of descriptions of natural hair being tied off with extensions until the modern period.
4/ UFOs, according to enthusiasts, have interiors which appear plain without instrumentation.
5/ No Asian culture in that time period created metal-bottomed boats and round metal bottom boats in the west at that time were largely unheard of.
So you can see that this incident may very well have been a UFO encounter. Primitive people, when faced with technology they do not understand, describe such technology using tropes and concepts they do understand. Look at the cargo cult which grew out of first contact with US airman and their planes in the Pacific islands in WW2. See here: ua-cam.com/video/dVZ9bPRTiIA/v-deo.html
This opens up ideas for authors to produce any kinds of stories, including time travel, like what if the girl was a time traveler who seeks answers to her ordinary life problems in the modern times
I love this channel because all the videos are about something I never even heard of.
Welcome back missed you
It sounds more like a time traveler story than an alien one
I can see that. And the fact they didn't show up on the government's documents is because she tried to clear it up as good as she could, without knowing the small sheets of the townsfolk.
Yeah. Trying to make a Doctor Who fan fic out of it. But why on Earth would the companion end up in a wooden ship? Maybe the Tardis regained its disguise mechanism and turned from a policebox into a local round boat?
@@Carewolf Making the box the tardis, going through some sort of metamorphosis would explain a lot. I'd go for it.
@@Carewolf Go for it vol2 it would make a great fanfic. I'd also assume that the box was The TARDIS or at least, somehow, the girls way out of her situation, since she wasn't showing what's inside to anyone.
nobody 69 The description and images of that “UFO” remind me of a space capsule, the one that land in the sea so the astronauts inside can be recovered safely so it might as well have to do with time travelling

I admit, I was a little disappointed. I was expecting something super bizarre, like a half-human half-animal hybrid inside the ship. Instead, it's more mundane than the opening of the video built it up to be.
it is a half human hybrid, did you hear they have red hair, obviously has some demon in them, at least half hence the red hair as a by product of their destroyed soul

Can you explain what you think the pentagon meant when they said they have "recovered vehicles not from this earth" last week?
I think that saying authors who didn't have access to government records getting places and people wrong isn't to suggest they aren't real. That and the government and the locals may have f different names for areas as can still happen today, but was more common in the past. Also, the recording of outsider interactions also wouldn't necessarily have been recorded, as the interaction as written would've happened quickly and it's likely it wouldn't have spread very much if at all and the government may have not even caught wind of it. Not saying it really happened, but the things used to disprove it are just as inconclusive as those that prove it, as any number of variations could've effected the writings we have. Saying it's likely fake is as supported as saying it's likely real. This is just a UA-cam video, but your claims aren't backed and anyone who has watched this video should look into the actual scholarly research into the matter, as his video leaves way too much out or completely ignores counter points to much of what he says. Humans aren't computers that completely accurately record events being a big one, and that is especially true for a feudal society like japan was at the time
