“I think many people react in disbelief when asked if aliens exist, but I want them to exist.”
What it documents
Asked whether he believes in UFOs and aliens, Kojima said that aliens exist, although he does not think we can really meet them in person. He acknowledged that many people react with disbelief, but said he wants them to exist; he added that if they were like E.T. that would be boring, and if they were like the Alien franchise that would be the worst.
