A070993 Numbers n such that the trajectory of n under the "3x+1" map reaches n+1. 6

COMMENTS
From Collatz conjecture, the trajectory of n never reaches n again. Is this sequence finite? (it seems there are no further terms below 10^6).
There are no more terms < 10^9. - Donovan Johnson, Sep 22 2013

EXAMPLE
Trajectory of 39 is (118, 59, 178, 89, 268, 134, 67, 202, 101, 304, 152, 76, 38, 19, 58, 29, 88, 44, 22, 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1) which contains 39+1=40, so 39 is in the sequence.
MATHEMATICA
Collatz[n_] := NestWhileList[If[EvenQ[#], #/2, 3 # + 1] &, n, # > 1 &]; Select[Range[100000], MemberQ[Collatz[#], # + 1] &] (* T. D. Noe, Feb 22 2013 *)
PROG
(PARI) for(n=1, 10000, s=n; t=0; while(s!=1, t++; if(s%2==0, s=s/2, s=3*s+1); if(s==n-1, print1(n, ", "); ); ))
