 * Delete - the only sources are WP:FRINGE. Might be worth a mention in the base's article, but doesn't need a redirect. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination and per The Bushranger's comment: UFOs don't exist. Nick-D (talk) 23:42, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Most of the sources appear to be a collection of non-official youtube videos. Others are just plain unreliable. IRWolfie- (talk) 00:38, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep/Redirect/Merge Include comment regarding allegation of incident at Malmstrom Air Force Base - unusual events do happen, and we need to remain open minded. If official documents mentioned this incident, we need to remain open minded and not delete this wholesale. We may not be able to prove positively that UFOs exist, but there have been a large number of unexplained incidents (even over Iran during the Shah's period).

 * The problem is that the only sources claiming official documents exist are fringe sources that take for granted that UFOs are real. No other sources even mention this.  I ask that you please provide some reliable sources discussing this incident if you wish to keep the article.  Ian.thomson (talk) 16:58, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * OK; I'm not a UFO editor and do not know the literature. If a number of editors in good standing doubt the existence of official documents, I strike my comment, and suggest as the Bushranger says that a note that there were allegations that a UFO incident took place be included in the Malmstrom Air Force Base article.
