October 23, 2010 nuclear weapons incident

Needs mention as being notable with hundreds of articles under news google. Web search which will remain relevant for longer period of time. See for example LA Times article. At my leisure, unless someone wants to jump in there. CarolMooreDC (talk) 22:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed edits from new user

I am not prepared to edit the page myself, but I have a few concerns -

1 - F E Warren AFB is not "approximately 3 miles west of Cheyenne", but is absolutely adjacent to Cheyenne, forming its entire western extent. The nearest point that could be called Cheyenne's business district is maybe 1/2 mile away. If you go three miles east of FEW, you will pass through Cheyenne and end up on the prairie.

As I am not yet comfortable with editing the page itself, anyone willing to take it further is welcome to do so.

2 - I may not understand the Airports WikiProject, but I wonder why F E Warren AFB would be a part of it, having no airport. My wife and I were stationed there 1985-89, so this may have changed since then. Wyoming ANG had four C-130's stationed at Cheyenne Regional Airport (CYS), but this is as close as FEW got to a flight line. I believe there was an established heliport, and with a hospital on base, I assume this is still true. Perhaps this is the connection?

UFO sighting & Unencyclopedic language

The article was edited last year to include the following claim in Wikipedia's voice: "On 23 October 2010 Pandemonium stirred when Warren looses communication status, for 1 hour, to 50 missiles sites due to a hardware issue, coinciding with a nearby UFO sighting." Aside from the poor use of English, there is nothing about a UFO sighting in the cited CNN article, which merely documents a hardware failure. Banality (talk) 01:23, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I have removed un-sourced claims about UFO sightings. I'm hoping at some point the ip who keeps inserting them provides a source or something. Banality (talk) 05:12, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
