The account
The group, led by Yūsuke Matsumura, drew on American contactee messages. The prophecy was reported in the press, members prepared for rescue, and the failed prediction became known as the 'CBA incident'.
The sceptical view
Nothing happened; it is a textbook failed prophecy, like the American 'When Prophecy Fails' group of 1954.
