"Ancient Aliens" must be desperate if they use this as evidence for UFO contact. Even if we accept this story as true (most do not), it´s very explicitly not about aliens from outer space, but about a White woman washed up on a Japanese beach in 1803.
The only connection to the modern UFO phenomenon is the peculiar shape of the boat. OK, maybe the "box", too, since aliens apparently carry weird boxes or something. (Like nobody else ever did that this side of the Antares star system!)
Skeptics regard the story of Utsuro-bune as fake anyway, being a 19th century adaptation of classical Japanese folk tales. Today, the motif is apparently also popular in manga and anime.
