I'd agree that such correlation would support the Rapture theory. But it would also support any number of other stories. (Among other things: once they're gone, how do we know that they haven't all gone to Hell for getting it wrong?--as long as we're hypothesizing such things.)
The Rapture is said to involve supernatural entities and processes whose existence and nature are beyond proof and . How should one prove the existence--past or present--of same? It seems to me that the closest that one might come is "we have no explanation of what happened here that accords with physical laws as we know them, so it could have been the Rapture (or aliens, or we're all living in a simulation that just had a major-but-not-fatal system error, or ...)".
I'd expect that many Christians might object to the notion that the Rapture might manifest as alien abduction to some. (Many more might find it entirely appropriate, of course.)
