Japan PM's Wife and Aliens

The elected Prime Minister of Japan Yukio Hatoyama may be called "Alien". Since, his wife, Miyuki Hatoyama, claimed to have been brought by aliens to the planet of Venus.

"When I'm asleep, I think my soul is going into the triangular UFO and going to Venus," said Miyuki Hatoyama in his book.

"It's a very beautiful place and really green," he said as quoted by Reuters on Wednesday (2/9/2009).

The 66-year-old wife wrote her experience in space in a book titled "Very Strange Things I've Encountered."

When she was experiencing that, Miyuki was not the wife of Hatoyama yet. Hatoyama, however advised that it was just an illusion. The answer is different from what she expected.

"My husband has a different view," said a woman who is the grandson of the former PM.

Hatoyama himself will be sworn as Japan's new PM on September 16 following the victory of the party ruling for 50 years, the Liberal Democratic Party, in general elections, Sunday, August 30.
