.....The ones with abductions seem to enjoy reliving the anal probes.
I dont have a list, but the most convincing UFO story that i know is the valentich disappearance.
i was on one of the search vessels at the time. We found no wreckage in the week we spent searching....
Or Urologists with a penchant for doing prostate exams. I don't mind if the Dr is a woman since the fingers are smaller and oh so gentle.....and they become politicians and lawyers!

Man, we can dream of the GOOD OLD DAYS!!!!
I say give Texas back to Mexico...
My father flew SAR helicopters for many years after transferring from fixed wing types. I remember him watching a TV show about the Bermuda triangle (he didn't much like television, but had trained with the USN at Pensacola) and harrumphing at the proposition put forward that ships/boats/aeroplanes could not possibly disappear with no trace, no wreckage, flotsam or jetsam found. He was adamant that this in fact was more often the case than not. The wreckage may be very small and an ocean is a very big place.
He told me a story about a FAA aircraft which reported an engine fire and its position within 100 miles of Malta. He and several other helicopters and all sorts of other vessels searched in a classically expanding search pattern over several days and found absolutely nothing, even though they had a good idea where the aircraft must have gone into the Mediterranean.
This was in the 1950s, before GPS and emergency radio beacons and all the other technology available today, as are many unexplained disappearances.
