Talk:Kenneth Arnold

message: The Horten Ho 229 matches his sketch more closely. One could say its an exact match. I provided the wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229
Hmmm, I belive that he has seen more than 3 disk, he even drawn a picture (This picture is in the Bluebook). Please, someone, resolve this issue. Dobrowsky | Talk 07:18, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: Kenneth Arnold's June 24, 1947 sighting is considered to be the first flying saucer sighting....but the Maury Island incident predates it by three days (June 21). Why isn't Harold Dahl's sighting considered the first? Kingturtle 08:54, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Four times this article mentions the AAF. I have no idea what the AAF is. Can someone elaborate? Kingturtle 00:42, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

message: The article mentions a "comet" while Maccabee who is cited, does not; rather he uses the word "meteor" and the phrase "meteor train."

message: Any chance it was a Horthen Ho-229 prototype captured in the Operation Paperclip that was being evaluated in the US? The UFO drawn by Arnold resembles the aircraft's shape (minus curved wing edges). Does anyone know where was the aircraft evaluated and did it involve flying?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.137.119.147 (talk) 15:25, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  What? 

message: So what was his middle name? What does the "A." stand for, and why is he referred to as Kenneth Luis Arnold in some places? JMK (talk) 09:15, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Middle name?

message: When the article mentions the description of the object he saw, it says, and I quote: "ater Arnold would add that one of the objects actually resembled a crescent or flying wing (see image)."
What image? There are no images in the article! Devil Master (talk) 23:53, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: "See image"? What image?

message: WP:BIO1E covers the notability of people who are notable for only one event. If a person is notable only "in the context of" that event, that might mean the event is what's notable, not the person. The event article, Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting, is a nice and pretty comprehensive (B-class) article, and this personal article doesn't seem to add anything meaningful. The event clearly has historical significance (and IMO notability), but was Arnold notable in any other way? Was the event significant enough (remember most people aren't really into ufology) that the main player in the event merits a separate article, especially if it only seems to summarize what's on the event page?
WP:BIO1E offers this guidance:
:Another issue arises when an individual plays a major role in a minor event. In this case, it is not generally appropriate to have an article on both the person and the event. Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident, especially if the individual is only notable for that incident and it is all that the person is associated with in the source coverage. For example, Steve Bartman redirects to Steve Bartman incident. In some cases, however, a person famous for only one event may be more widely known than the event itself, for example, the Tank Man. In such cases, the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved.
Outside the small but hard working group of ufologists (meaning, among the population as a whole), was this event notable enough that, by virtue of being the key player in this event, there should be a separate article for Kenneth Arnold the person? I personally don't think so. I don't feel strongly about it, and I'm certainly not going to do anything myself, but I think this should be discussed. Dcs002 (talk) 05:05, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

message: THIS is the standard for research? No one bothered to corroborate the details of his death either way? 68.107.234.124 (talk) 21:18, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

message: If Google wasn't going to do one--in honor of Anne Frank's diary first getting published 75 years ago today--for their home page, why couldn't they at least honor Kenneth Arnold's sightings of those nine UFO's during the same time frame?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.132.132 (talk) 01:53, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
