For nearly a month, the boys who originally discovered the "Kera
Object" continued to search for and experiment with it, almost
like a wild animal they hoped to tame. The tale of their
exploits with the bizarre item would be more comfortable to pass
off as a childish prank if not for the corroboration of its
existence by at least a couple of adults. One of the boys,
Yasuo, brought home the device to be examined by his father,
Matsuo Fujimoto, who was then the director of the Center for
Science Education in Kōchi City. The boy's father, someone
with scientific training, gave the object a cursory
examination. He determined that it appeared similar to an
antique cast iron ashtray, but too light for the real
thing. Peering through the holes in the bottom, Mr.
Fujimori noticed that the internal components were similar to a
radio's. However, he was unable to look any closer since it
could not be opened and lost interest in the find. He would
later express regret for not having studied the object more
closely. Katsuoka Kojima's mother, Aiko, had also reported
that the object glowed like fireflies, while Yasuo Fujimoto's
mother had her own sighting of a small UFO about a month
later. In contrast to these possible confirmations of
authenticity, a local astronomer interested in the phenomenon,
Tsutomu Seki, had interviewed the witnesses and was impressed by
them and their story, but still maintained doubts about various
elements of the case. To add to the mystery, at least two
other reports of encounters with strikingly similar objects had
occurred, one in 1976 about 25 miles to the west from Kera, and
another as far away as Suonenjoki, Finland in 1979. So what
are we to make of all the varying details concerning these
impossible objects? If we are to believe ongoing reports,
certain authorities already have extraterrestrial items in their
possession, but they are strictly guarded secrets not meant for
public knowledge. If we are to believe the thousands of
accounts from ordinary citizens, these alien articles are
egalitarian in who they choose to appear to. Perhaps one
day, if one of these phenomenal objects can manage to be kept and
operated by one of the "Little People," it will open up a new
world of discovery and understanding for all of us.
