This article completely ignores the testimony of General de Brouwer as well as the lead F-16 pilot on the scramble who both attest that there was something anomalous at work. 2601:647:6700:6BC0:2CFC:CBA1:ECE6:72C0 (talk) 06:34, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Go find some reliable (see WP:RS), non-fringe (see WP:FRINGE and especially its subsection WP:FRIND) sources that support your desired content, propose your desired text here, and if it passes muster (that is, if it achieves consensus among participating editors) I have no doubt whatsoever that it can, and will, be included in the article. That's how Wikipedia works. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 12:47, 30 April 2025 (UTC) JoJo Anthrax (talk) 13:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well clearly people here are posting stuff from unreliable sources and with zero evidence, you have a section of the page saying that the anonymous Petit Rechain photo is a forgery, and the "evidence" provided is because of a guy who came 20 years later to say that it was his, but even failed to show the exact forgery to the media. this is not evidence. The lack of proper research by editors and careless for logical fallacies is disrespectful for the whole incident. And then there are people falsely claiming that the F-16 locks on were on each other which were shown to be false claims in the conference and by the F-16 pilots themselves, and by the General.

I suggest that you read, or re-read, my comment directly above yours. I will summarize it here: find some reliable sources (see WP:RS) that support your desired content., and present them here. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 00:13, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd never heard of De Brouwer before (that I know of), but I tracked down a RS quoting him and added it to the article. Feoffer (talk) 00:23, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
