The Carl Higdon Abduction (1974)
On October 25, 1974, hunter Carl Higdon aimed at an elk in a Wyoming forest: his bullet slowed in mid-flight and dropped a few feet away. Turning around, he found a yellowish-skinned, earless humanoid who invited him aboard a transparent cube-shaped craft. Higdon lost several hours of memory; his bullet was later found warped, and the clearing's grass had wilted.

Why it endures
An account that stayed rigorously identical for fifty years, a physically altered bullet, and a university researcher who found the witness entirely sincere.
Official version (contested)
No official explanation. Radioactivity tests on Higdon and the site came back negative.
