- UFO sighting in Central Idaho (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Article about a nonnotable UFO sighting. The article reads like a witness statement and includes no references to any reliable sources. This case was investigated by NUFORC but that alone doesn't assure notability. Examples of notable UFO cases would be the 2006 O'Hare International Airport UFO sighting and the Phoenix Lights. These cases have been well documented and discussed and had multiple witnesses. This case is borderline hoax since there is no verification of its existance.

- Delete per nom. Appears to be original research as well. The line Further investigation into the incident is forthcoming. seems to also violate WP:NOT#NEWS as we are not a primary source. Likely, it is a hoax, but there are plenty of reasons to delete (ie: wp:n, wp:v, wp:or) even if it isn't. PHARMBOY ( moo ) 15:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Not at all encyclopedic. A remarkably uninformative article, copied in part ("further investigation is forthcoming") from some of the equally uninformative and cryptic reports from UFO investigators. Seems that there were four hunters, not otherwise identified (for their own protection, I'm sure) and something strange happened one night somewhere in "Central Idaho" , and they contacted "government offices" and "NUFORC", but not the local newspaper or even the History Channel.
