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)

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. Ranthlee 05:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

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)

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

[edit] what is a UFO

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)]]
