thread_title:  Describtion&Links 

message: As the end of the year approaches, I advise that we delete all 2007 articles, besides the first and second top stories concerning UFO sightings. Personally, I believe that the best and most authentic would be the one seen over the Kenai Penninsula and the one similar to Phoenix Lights.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.74.90.38 (talk) 01:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anybody think the government is hiding stuf from us with the incident at Roswell.  I heard there are signs near Roswell that say,"Lethal Forces May Be Used Beyond This Point." - signed by anon IP
Just like the signs around the mysterious "non-existent" base Area 51 in the Nellis Air Force Range near the town of Rachel in the Nevada Desert. 67.49.85.100 (talk) 20:13, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Would anyone object to changing the formatting of this list article to a sortable table format similar to List of reported UFO sightings? I think it would allow for a better presentation of the content and make it easier to locate any specific sighting, for example by location. Also, there is a confusing spacing issue in this article between the main article link and each bulleted entry.  - MrX 22:41, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I made the proposed changes, converting the list to a sortable table. I also deleted a couple of unsourced sightings that did not have main articles and one sighting that had unreliable sources. I will do some additional copy editing and try to improve the sourcing. The sources exist, they are just in the main articles and on Wikinews. - MrX 22:29, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Since this article is a list article, I would like to propose that any future incidents should be written up as draft articles and submitted to the Articles for Creation process first, before being added to this list and possibly reverted.

thread_title:  Adding New Incidents 

message: this doesn’t necessarily mean theirs extraterrestrials, but there’s definitely other electro magnetic activity going on. In certain places such as the “Zone of Silence” in Mexico has some sort of energy around it. For some reason when one enters  this desert, all radio and cell service stops working, and compasses go crazy. Also, many meteors have hit this area ( possibly caused by the magnetic energy around it). What do you guys think is happening here? BenAnthony06 (talk) 18:02, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  UFO 

message: Hi, This article is mostly overlap with List of reported UFO sightings. On that basis, it could be merge. However there are most probably more UFOs reports from the US than from anywhere else, so this means a separate article is useful. What to do? Yann (talk) 22:38, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No need to merge the United States list and I doubt it would pass an RfC, as there are already many country-specific UFO lists. See . 5Q5|✉ 12:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for your answer. Then removing all US sightings from List of reported UFO sightings? Yann (talk) 22:02, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The List of reported UFO sightings is the English-language Wikipedia article for the topic, so available and notable UFO reports in English would dominate, with the U.S. being most prominant. On the desktop version of the article there is a left-side list of the topic in other languages (12 language links so far) where other countries and their respective languages have the opportunity to dominate. The United States appears to have had more media devoted to reporting on UFOs, as opposed to other English-language countries. I don't see any need to change. 5Q5|✉ 14:45, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: So is it OK to duplicate US reports to both pages? This seem weird to me. Yann (talk) 16:33, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
