Article covers a very minor incident that likely fails notability. Primary purpose for previous "keep" seems to be debunking WP:FRINGE UFO claims. –dlthewave ☎ 03:46, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment More WP:RS may exist, such as coverage supposedly published in the Toronto Sun and The Globe and Mail, but like most pre-internet sources, they are near impossible to access and confirm. Likely delete unless sources are unearthed. - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:49, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep As long as better sourcing can be found, and the article expanded a bit.TH1980 (talk) 02:16, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not Snopes — it is not our job to keep an article about somebody chucking a flaming frisbee over a fence just because some people still point to the incident as supposed proof of UFOs. This has not received the degree of reliable source coverage needed to justify an encyclopedia article. Bearcat (talk) 20:07, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
