Image
Just wondering why the triangle in the image has 4 sides. lol. It looks more like the wedge shape of a hypersonic aircraft. VoidHalo (talk) 08:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)


 * TriangleBelgium1990.jpg
 * I was attempting to capture the outline of a famous photograph, likely of a model, but presumed to be true for years by ufologists and the UK government. If that is overthinking how to make a triangle, and I have overthought some things before, then others are welcome to download and edit the SVG from the commons.

 * I think I know what photograph you're talking about. I was interested in UFOlogy as a kid in the 90's when that stuff was big, and no doubt saw it at some point. Probably multiple times. Either way, regardless of my joke, this was actually a well done photograph and a great contribution. At first glance, it could easily pass for a real UFO photograph (whether hoaxed or otherwise).

Yugoslav UFO claims
Re this addition. First of all, this claim might not even meet the level of notability required for inclusion. Plus, the coverage appears to be WP:SENSATIONAL, indulging an extraordinary claim sourced to a monograph by one individual. Also, per WP:FRINGE, we don't discount conventional explanations such as the one given by intel officials in favor of fringe interpretations. - LuckyLouie (talk) 16:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Very well. I made my case here. Make sure you guys remove Pan-Adria case from the table too and I also agree with a proposal to delete Murder of Michalis Katsouris. Franjo Tahy (talk) 19:55, 30 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @User:Franjo Tahy, Thanks for your understanding. And FWIW, I see there are some English language sources pertaining to Murder of Michalis Katsouris. I haven't evaluated them, but others may discern they are sufficient to establish WP:SIGCOV. - LuckyLouie (talk) 21:11, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Fun, but indiscriminate
These additions (and similar ones) seem WP:INDISCRIMINATE and poorly sourced. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:29, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

UAP
Per recent edits: How should this article (and other high-level UFO articles) present the term UAP? WP:RS seem to treat it largely as a synonym for UFO. Rjjiii (talk) 07:59, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think the existing definition is fine. It acknowledges the WP:RECENTISM of UAP, but stops short of treating it as The Superduper Latest Scientifical Official Update to "UFO". No need to cast aside the longstanding historical context of "UFO" in favor of the latest fad word. &#45; LuckyLouie (talk) 13:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
