"High-altitude" object?
This object was at 20,000 feet which is lower than most commercial aircraft. Is it really considered "high-altitude"? Maybe 2023 Lake Huron UFO incident would be a better title. – Anne drew  15:27, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * As nobody knows what a high-altitude object is, I agree using a common term like UFO makes more sense, as only some people assume that must mean an alien spacecraft. I'd stay away from "incident" or "2023", though, vague and unneeded. Lake Huron UFO is a good description of this unidentified flying object over/in Lake Huron.

 * The only problem I imagine, and it could be huge, is that this funky formulation has already had a few days to set a pattern. Changing this title could upset the balance of the busier debates over what to call the Alaska UFO and Yukon UFO. Then again, maybe it'd lead to concise precise titles for all.

 * It's rather simple, this was shot down, so 2023 Lake Huron shootdown would be the way to go, as with the other two in Alaska and Yukon, it rather simply defines 3 of the only 4 incidences of shootdowns in 2023 in North America that received news coverage. No need to examine all the UFO reports in Alaska, Yukon, etc, that were mistaken reports of Mars, Venus, comets, meteors, Aurora Borealis, etc -- 65.92.244.151 (talk) 04:25, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

2023 Lake Huron high-altitude object → 2023 Lake Huron shoot down – As detailed in the section above, it is questionable whether 20,000ft is a good determination of "high altitude". However, this was shot down over Lake Huron, and that is one of the defining characteristics of this incident, and the only notable shoot down since WWII pilot training at Lake Huron. -- 65.92.244.151 (talk) 04:46, 17 February 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Support. More accurate and specific than the current title. – Anne drew  15:29, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose We didn't shoot down a lake. The high-altitude object is the subject of the article.  — Omegatron (talk) 15:42, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That response makes no sense. The shootdown occurred over Lake Huron, so this uses the standard English language grammar rules. Following your logic, Lake Huron is also not a high altitude object, so by your own reasoning, this article is already misnamed. -- 65.92.244.151 (talk) 05:50, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I haven't heard of any dispute over whether or not it was a "high-altitude object". National Geographic states "Areas are often considered "high-altitude" if they reach at least 2,400 meters (8,000 feet) into the atmosphere." . Also oppose per WP:CONSISTENT with the other article titles. Estar8806 (talk) 23:49, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
