List of observations of solar and lunar transits of unknown objects[edit]

This list has been vastly reduced through the exclusion of unsourced cruft, but in the end the unfixable problem is that the title is WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS. It is an interpretation that these observations were caused by (unidentified) objects passing between the observer and the sun or moon. Beyond that there is the implication that these have anything to do with each other. Mangoe (talk) 22:17, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment - I don't feel strongly one way or the other. The list is notable enough, and sourced to real things (not the usual ufo-fan stuff. But the list isn't very interesting or compelling that these observations from 100 years ago have any value other than observations made by what seem to be reputable observers. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 00:03, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
