Excellent OP. I'm going to have a smoke and think this over. Just wanted to tell you, excellent OP.
Initially, the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called the incident a "false alarm." Newspapers of the time published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up. Some modern-day UFOlogists have suggested the targets were extraterrestrial spacecraft.[4] When documenting the incident in 1983, the U.S. Office of Air Force History attributed the event to a case of "war nerves" likely triggered by a lost weather balloon and exacerbated by stray flares and shell bursts from adjoining batteries.

For the most part, yes... but if they're false you would know, because you would be there to observe what did or didnt happen...
The Rendlesham Forest Incident is the name given to a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and the alleged landing of a craft or multiple craft of unknown origin in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England, in late December 1980, just outside RAF Woodbridge, used at the time by the U.S. Air Force. Dozens of USAF personnel were eyewitnesses to various events over a two- or three-day period. Some ufologists believe it is perhaps the most famous UFO event to have happened in Britain, ranking amongst the best-known UFO events worldwide. Along with the Berwyn Mountain UFO incident, it has been compared to the Roswell UFO incident in the United States, and is sometimes referred to as "Britain's Roswell".

That was somewhat my intention. To bring that old story back in the minds of a few people. There may or may not be anything to it, but it's always fun to read about it.
Another one is the "Rendlesham Forest inident" this story is crazy but it ranks as one of the good ones as well.

There are many great stories from abductees as well. I like the original story though Betty and Barney Hill abduction story.

The one part of the Rendlsham Forest Incident that always intrigued me was the binary message that Sgt. Jim Penniston received after touching the craft... And I understand that theres been issues with the decyphering of the message but if it was about Hy-Brasil, thats literally mind blowing stuff...... Thats one story that needs to be investigated more...
The strange case of nineteen-year-old Calvin Parker, and forty-two-year-old Charles Hickson actually began a day before their famous encounter. On October 10, 1973, fifteen different people, including two policemen reported seeing a large, silver UFO slowly fly over a housing project in St. Tammany Parish, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Only a scant 24 hours later, Hickson and Parker would have the scare of their lives; a frightening encounter with an eerie UFO.
