THE UFO INCIDENT (1975): James Earl Jones utterly sells this made for TV film about the first alien abduction claim.

It’s more of a human drama than a creature feature. The abductees, Betty and Barney Hill were an interracial married couple in early sixties America (something I never knew when I read about it in books as a kid) and it’s hard not to see their experience as a hallucinated metaphor for white supremacy all around their daily life with a little bit of Cold War anxiety thrown in.

The movie is wise enough not to push an opinion. Personally I think the Hills had a shared fantasy but the things that inspired that fantasy are still around us now.
