Falcon Lake Incident
- ... that the Falcon Lake Incident is considered "Canada's best-documented UFO case"? "Falcon Lake incident is Canada's 'best-documented UFO case,' even 50 years later" CBC News
- ALT1: ... that documents pertaining to the Falcon Lake UFO Incident are readily available at Library and Archives Canada? "The files here at LAC are huge when it comes to UFOs. Most of them are actually now online. You can log into LAC and there's a specific site that allows you to see a number of these files. They cover from before 1950 right through to present day, almost 2000s, and they're all files from RCMP, from National Research Council, National Defence, Ministry of Transport…" Palmiro Campagna at Library and Archives Canada
- ALT2: ...
that Stefan Michalak believed the UFO that he saw on 1967 was an experimental aircraft, even on his deathbed?"Michalak, who died in 1999, is said to have believed it was most likely an experimental aircraft and not a vehicle of extraterrestrial origin." Jay Turner writing for CoinWeek
- Comment: This is my third of 5 DYK nominations, please let me know if I still need to do QPQ or not (I was told earlier this was okay). If so, I will readily review one to fulfill the criteria.
Created by Ornithoptera (talk). Self-nominated at 00:18, 15 November 2021 (UTC).
Article is new enough (created 14 Nov), way long enough (roughly 14,000 characters), and appears to be policy compliant (extensively sourced and cited). Also neutrally written. Earwig detected some matches but my review finds nothing problematic. The hooks are short enough and neutral. However, alt 2 is not supported by the cited CoinWeek article which does not say that Michalak still believed this on his deathbed. Accordingly, I am striking alt2. IMO alt0 is the more interesting hook, though alt1 is fine too. Both are supported by in-line citations. Nominator remains QPQ exempt. Cbl62 (talk) 12:25, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Just going to edit ALT2 to include the word "UFO" in it just as a more interesting hook, UFO files featured on a National Archive is a pretty neat attraction. Ornithoptera (talk) 14:26, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- I agree that helps make alt1 more interesting. Alt0 and alt1 are both find with me. Cbl62 (talk) 00:03, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
