The Rendlesham Forest Incident
U.S. Air Force personnel reported a landed UFO in an English forest — and a colonel's real memo to the Ministry of Defence is the closest thing to an official record any UFO case has.
Over three nights in December 1980, U.S. Air Force personnel stationed in Suffolk, England, reported strange lights and an alleged landed craft in Rendlesham Forest — an event later dubbed "Britain's Roswell," documented in a real memo from the deputy base commander.
