Abstract: In this article, we study conjectures of Sandon on the minimal number of translated points in the special case of the unit tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. We restrict ourselves to contactomorphisms of

S M

that lift diffeomorphisms of

M

homotopic to identity. We prove that there exist sequences

(p_{n}, t_{n})

where

p_{n}

is a translated point of time-shift

t_{n}

with

t_{n} o + i n f t y

for a large class of manifolds. We also prove Morse estimates on the number of translated points in the case of Zoll Riemannian manifolds.
