Inappropriate title: "near misses" suggests that aircraft/UFO collisions are possible. The majority of this article is unsourced or sourced to fringe sites e.g. "ufologie.patrickgross.org" and/or duplicates of items contained in list of reported UFO sightings.

• Merge with
  List of UFO Sightings There is some notable content here that should probably be retained - but I'm not clear why this has to be split off from the other list article. Simonm223 (talk) 16:55, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

• Merge with
  List of UFO Sightings as said above. It doesn't matter or not whether something is 'real' - if it's notable under our fringe guidelines then it can be suitable for inclusion. UFOs being very culturally significant, their inclusion in the encyclopedia is important, not to mention that UFO =/= little green men. All that said, we've already got a spot for this information and anything in this article either is or can be included there. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 17:11, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

• Merge as already suggested, with the caveat that the only entries that appear to be cited to remotely reliable sources are those referenced to The Telegraph and The Scotsman. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:26, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
