Best Evidence - the next 10?

A lot of people who have seen Best Evidence want me to make a sequel... sort of a "Best Evidence II: The Next Ten". I don't think that's going to happen, for a lot of reasons, but the question of which other cases polled highly, i.e. just missed being in the top ten, is an interesting one, and helps illustrate the depth of quality sightings. I'm working on an article for The Anomalist these days that will discuss some of these cases in greater detail, but here's a few that were close to making the final cut of the film, and which all deserve a close look by anyone who thinks there's nothing to the UFO phenomenon.

Vins-sur-caramy, France (1957)

Minot AFB, United States (1968) - well profiled in the ABC special Seeing is Believing

Socorro, United States (1964)

JAL 1628, over Alaska (1986)

Stephen Michalak sighting, Canada (1967)

Washington "flap", United States (1952)

Father Gill sighting, New Guinea (1959)

Trindade, Brazil (1958)

Belgian "flap", Belgium (1989)

That's just the tip of the iceberg. As I've said in radio interviews, over seventy cases received votes in my poll of UFO researchers, and the vast majority of them are good, solid cases that have yet to be convincingly explained by the people who would like you to believe that the UFO phenomenon is just a lot of smoke and mirrors and misidentifications.
