Subject: How many times has Scully been right??

When "The X-Files" debuted the promo went something like this: "He's a believer in the paranormal and extra-terrestrial intellgence. She's a scientist who believes every unexplained occurrance has a rational explanation. Together they work together to investigate mysterious cases. Sometimes he's right. Sometimes she is."
However, as Mulder pointed out at the beginning of "Field Trip", he's the one who's "right" the vast majority of the time. So. . .how many times has Scully been right? How many times have Mulder and Scully set out to investigate what appears, at first glance, to be a case involving the paranormal or extra-terrestrials and had it turn out to be nothing more than a hoax or the work of some sort of clever human killers?
This is actually a very popular motif in fanfiction. I've read umpteen jillion stories where Mulder and Scully go to some remote-yet-romantic locale to investigate an X-File that turns out to be nothing more than some bored high school kids pulling pranks. Left with no case to pursue they end up having sex with each other for the next 27 pages.
However, in the "real" XF world, this rarely seems to happen. One of the few times I can think of where Scully was even partially right was, ironically, the above-mentioned "Field Trip". She wasn't totally right, because her theory involved serial killers, but she was closer to being right than Mulder was. . .there was a scientific explanations for the deaths and there was nothing alien or paranormal invovled.
Any others?
