Yeah. That one is very very likely a hoax.
We need to find these people who did the hoax then..hopefully they are still alive. You see I say we need to find them because from the details I remember the "object" had a whole boatload of artillery,etc. thrown at it and it didn't get taken out by any of it.
So then someone created some fake nigh indestructible UFO for no reason. We need this person building us some war machines.

It wasn't even a hoax. The theory that it was an alien craft only came out in retrospect, many years after the event. Back then everyone assumed it was either a mistake or some kind of Japanese aircraft. Only decades later did UFOlogists try to claim it as an extraterrestrial event.
