Talk:Travis Walton incident

More detailed article

I wish this article were laid out in more precise and clear detail Bernie 06:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Fred Sylvanus doesn't seem to exist outside of this incident. Could he and his materials be counterintelligence or a hoax or something along those lines? Hackwrench 21:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Given the lack of security on the room and the lack of response after he was discovered, it would seem that the room was an entertainment center at its simplest, a flight similator at its more complex, and given the state of technology, both these days and as projected in holodecks, there's no reason it couldn't be both.

I use password protection on the computer I am working at. The lack of even that much security would suggest that the room is the advanced equivalent of a Playstation 3. Even the Playstation 2 had a password for parental controls on DVD's to keep the kids from watching what they wanted. It is possible that the device has a biometric scanner of some sort and can upon reading the proper biometric profile, control everything. Such biometric devices are relatively trivial and with the technology we have today there are a number of inexpensive USB drives with heavy encription.

Given the resources of an interstellar government, that room could have been anything from the equivalent of an entertainment center for a teenager to the lieutenant's office on an aircraft carrier.

name of article

Just a little thing... wouldn't it make more sense for this article to be named Travis Walton alien abduction? Especially when it's linked to from other pages (such as Snowflake, Arizona), it appears to be referring to a kidnapping.

How about basics like his date of birth, profession, etc... ?

Travis Walton abduction → Travis Walton — Currently, the redirect goes the other way, but seeing as this is the man's only claim to fame, I assume having it as such would make more sense.

Survey - in support of the move

1. Support - since the ufo incident is also a biography, and since Travis walton is redirected here, lets move this article to Travis Walton. But we have to make sure all the pages that link here get redirected to the new article name (:O) -Nima Baghaei (talk) 19:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
2. Support, if that his is only claim to fame, then it makes sense to just have the article at his name, IMO. Recury 19:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
