The UFO Incident is a 1975 television film based on the first widely publicized report in the United States of what?
Barney and Betty Hill Barney and Betty Hill were an American couple who claimed they were abducted by extraterrestrials in a rural portion of New Hampshire from September 19 to September 20, 1961. It was the first widely publicized report of an alien abduction in the United States.
Kweilin incident The "Kweilin" incident occurred on August 24, 1938 when a Douglas DC-2 airliner (the "Kweilin") carrying 18 passengers and crew was destroyed by Japanese aircraft in China. There were fourteen fatalities. It was the first civilian airliner in history to be shot down by hostile aircraft. The pilot was American and the crew and passengers Chinese. As it was unprecedented for a civilian aircraft to be attacked, there was international diplomatic outrage over the incident. In the United States, it helped solidify the popular view that Japan was morally wrong in their war against China, but the incident was not enough to spur the US into action against Japan despite Chinese entreaties. The "Kweilin" was re-built and destroyed by the Japanese a second time two years later.
