As noted in Part 3 of Isaac Koi’s “Best UFO Cases” article (i.e. in the Part entitled “Existing lists by various individuals”), Ronald Story has written an interesting book entitled “UFOs and the Limits of Science” (discussed in some detail in PART 6: Consensus lists : Ronald Story’s poll (1979)) which focuses around a list “of ten ‘best’ cases’”. He selected these 10 cases since they “to me represent the strongest UFO evidence on record”.
The relevant cases selected by Ronald Story as the 10 “best” cases were (see Footnote 3.48):
1. Newport News, Virginia, 14 July 1952 (Nash-Fortenberry case) (Case 44 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
2. Lakenheath AFB, England, 13-14 August 1956 (multiple radar-visual) (Case 21 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
3. Levelland, Texas, 2-3 November 1957 (Car stop cases) (Case 16 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
4. Boianai, New Guinea, 26, 28 June 1959 (Father Gill case) (Case 15 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
5. Whitefield, New Hampshire, 19 September 1961 (Betty & Barney Hill case) (Case 2 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
6. Exeter, New Hampshire, 3 September 1965 (Incident at Exeter) (Case 29 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
7. Ravenna, Ohio, 17 April 1966 (Spaur chase case) (Case 73 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
8. Mansfield, Ohio, 18 October 1973 (Coyne helicopter case) (Case 25 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
9. Tehran, Iran, 18 September 1976 (Iranian jet case) (Case 47 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
10. Wellington/Kaikoura, New Zealand, 31 December 1978 (New Zealand film multiple radar-visual) (Case 57 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article)
In addition to chapters devoted to each of the above 10 cases, Ronald Story’s book contains further chapters devoted to discussing various issues. A chapter entitled “UFO photographs” (see Footnote 3.49) identifies 4 photographic cases which Story states “I have chosen as the ‘best’, in terms of their combined strangeness and reliability”. Those cases are:
1. Wellington/Kaikoura, New Zealand, 31 December 1978 (“the most puzzling picture sequence of all”) (Case 57 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article);
2. McMinnville, Oregon, 11 May 1950 (Trent case photos) (Case 17 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article);
3. Great Falls, Mont, 5 or 15 August 1950 (Mariana film) (Case 41 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article);
4. Trindade Island, Brazil, 16 January 1958 (IGY photos) (Case 26 in Isaac Koi's “Top 100” article).
