The answer is, of course, exactly one.
So, what is that 'one' for you?
Personally, I gravitate towards the cases which have a enough evidence that a court of law would probably convict someone of murder.
My personal favorite case, though technically perhaps not the best evidence, is that of Lonnie Zamora. The reason for me is that this particular case leaves very little wriggle room on the topic, as it includes not only a flying objects but, goddammit, actually little tiny dudes walking around.
It has physical evidence. A reputable witness. A well documented timeline, etc. If Officer Zamora had the same amount of evidence in a criminal case he would have little difficulty getting a conviction.
Really the only thing missing from the Zamora case is a few more witnesses at the scene. Nevertheless, it is still my favorite.
The other cases, which involve strange flying objects in the sky, radar confirmation, pilots, multiple witnesses, etc. while excellent can always lead the skeptic wriggle room as to just 'what' it is that people actually 'saw'.
That is not the case with a physical landing with UFO occupants.
If you need only argue one case, that single case, which demonstrates (a) proof of the phenomenon as comprising non-human entities piloting non-human technological craft and (b) demonstrates that the skeptic/debunkers are themselves being irrational, illogical, and unreasonable, what case is it?
I am often surprised by how often people mention the Betty and Barney Hilll case which, personally, I don't think has much going for it other than the amount of media attention it garnered.
If I had to pick a number two case next to Zamaro I think the Travis Walton case is pretty strong.
If you had Phillip Klass in the room, ressurected from the grave, and planned to address the question UFOs real, (i.e. structured craft piloted by non-humanoid entities origin unknown) or not real, hoax, liar, desusion, missidentification what case would you bring to the table?
Actually, when you think about it, what an excellent topic for a high school debate team.
What case would you bring to the debate?
