Hi NLO-STARGAZER. Thank you for your edits to the NLO article! I've reverted your edits today to the article, for a couple of reasons that I'd like to explain here.
 * You added several website addresses inline in the article. It's better to add websites as references rather than inline URLs, as you're then providing the supporting evidence for the information you've added to the article, rather than links that may look like spam to other users/readers. The 'Public Openings' URL is already there as a reference, so doesn't need to be added again. Meteorscan.com isn't currently a reference, but it would be better to add it as a reference rather than as an external inline link.
 * It's not a good idea to add future event dates to the article like you did, since the article will age over time and what is currently 'future' will get out of date rapidly. It's better to add information about past events, with references.
 * You removed some information that was referenced, without providing a reason why - which always looks odd to other editors (it's a technique that PR companies frequently use).
 * BTW, you might want to consider changing your username - please have a look at the "Usernames implying shared use" section of Wikipedia's Username policy.

I hope you continue to edit the article - and please let me know if there's anything I can provide help/feedback on. I'm a fellow astronomer, and I'm writing this message in good faith - but it's also been a long day, so please accept my apologies if this comes across as a bit terse. Thanks.
