UFO catchers or claw vending machines are super-duper popular among the young generation in Japan (and everywhere else in the world). They are usually found together with arcade games, like salt and pepper. Prizes are ranging from small cute toys to weird things that should not even be there at the first place. Some items, judged by the logic of ordinary people, do not look like can be lifted by those flimsy claws but, however, there are some people who have mastered the art of groping and you will be surprised to see what they can do. Even though there is no evidence that UFO catchers are originated from the idea of alien abduction, but it is hard not to assume such connection…
