I've been told that I need to survey all movies and fiction that feature UFOs. Any suggestions? Martial Law 22:07, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So far as I can tell, all citations on the page are of FILMS--not literature. The literature should, of course, include such obvious things as the H. G. Wells WOTW book on which the film was based, but also, at the very least, Arthur C. Clarke's "Childhood's end." I mention that for starters simply because I recently reread it, but I'm sure it wouldn't take long for a list of UFO literature to reach dozens of citations.

Merge proposal[edit]

Both of these articles (List of major UFO film and television shows and UFOs in fiction) are fairly useless articles by themselves... but if you put them together, they might carry enough weight (with future edits) to stay as one article. I suggest merge for this reason. -Gohst 08:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No argument posted. Merge went ahead. -Gohst 05:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UNMERGE AT ONCE ! This is about UFOs in FICTION, NOT about ridiculing people who have seen these damn things. 65.163.112.205 (talk) 05:00, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what is a UFO[edit]

It seems to me that one or two enries (such as Invasion of the body snatchers) do not feature, or even mention UFO's. [[Slatersteven (talk) 18:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)]][reply]

UFOs or alien craft?[edit]

This article seems ridiculous in the sense that it uses the term UFO as a synonym for an extraterrestrial craft. The "U" in UFO stands for "unidentified". As soon as you know it's an alien craft it's no longer unidentified and thus not a UFO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.41.124.8 (talk) 13:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ordering the TV shows[edit]

Wouldn't a better ordering be chronological as it is for films? patsw (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
