Open research question
Which elements of the modern extraterrestrial interpretation are present in the Edo-period sources themselves, and which first appear in twentieth-century UFO literature?
A source, research note, or further-reading link closes this question when staff accept it. Evidence and corrections stay attached for staff and do not close it by themselves.
Staff review every contribution before it is added to the file. A correction is a proposal: accepting it does not replace the official record. Rejected items are handled like rejected case submissions.
