Talk:Mariana UFO incident

message: Could someone who knows how post a video clip or screenshot of the objects in the Mariana film into the article? Surely there must be some image that is available online.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:1011:C156:D96F:368D:74A:E2B7 (talk) 02:11, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture or Video? 

message: In the 2002 UFO documentary Out of the Blue former SAC launch controller Lt. Col. Robert Salas gives his testimony about an incident in 1967 were a disc-shaped UFO hovered above the gates of the air force base and apparently temporarily rendered two of the Minuteman silos inoperable. I don't know if this incident currently has an article of its own, but it should be mentioned in this article nonetheless. __meco (talk) 09:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disc-shaped UFO at Malmstrom AFB in 1967 

message: This article lacks support from independent mainstream citations.  Thus is does not have evidence of notability, and much of it appears to constitute original research promoting a fringe point of view.  The article needs to be totally revamped, with reliable sourcing added where possible and unsourceable material removed.  It may then become clear whether there is even sufficient notability to justify an independent article. Locke9k (talk) 17:44, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major issues 

message: I believe the author is insinuating that "UFO" is an alien space craft and not he common definition of "unidentified flying object".  It has not been verified to have been an alien spacecraft, so there should be some clarification in the first paragraph. --119.193.155.93 (talk) 10:41, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've given the opening paragraph another rewrite, essentially cutting it to a shorter version. I have also expanded the sources section to include the original Blue Book case files and film as well as Dr. Baker's analysis. I think rather than discussing "the most common skeptical explanation", the article should discuss the specific analyses and explanations offered by the specific individuals involved. For example I added a reference to Donald Menzel's discussion of the case. It would be better to attribute a skeptical view to a specific skeptic than to the community at large. I personally think this whole article needs reworking and expanding, so I welcome your help in that regard. I also think we could use more sources, skeptical, analytical, and historical alike.Clotten (talk) 17:34, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for adding the material! I think discussing the specific investigators and investigations of the Mariana case is a great idea. I will say, however, that I think the article as written is well-organized and laid-out, and does an excellent job of covering all aspects of the case without being too wordy or lengthy. One of the issues I have with many Wiki articles is that they are too long, too wordy, and become increasingly disorganized and filled with irrelevant trivia as they expand. Again, I think your additions are excellent and do add substantive material to the article, but I am hesitant to do a major rewrite or lengthy expansion, given the reasons I mentioned above. One thing I think many of Wiki's UFO articles could use are more relevant photographs - there was a screen shot of the Mariana film at the top of the article some time ago, but someone deleted it. An actual picture from the Mariana film would be most helpful. Cheers! 70.145.229.162 (talk) 18:53, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
