The UFO photo

I made a section about the infamous photo in this article many years ago, and it was deleted. However, I still think it is a subject worthy of discussion. Even if most of us who visit Wikipedia do not believe the UFO claims are true, the "claims" themselves are definitely fact, and therefore relevant to the history of Phobos 2. In fact, one could argue that the UFO stories are the thing Phobos 2 is most famous for. I would imagine many people came to this article looking specifically for information on the "UFO photo", and might be disappointed to find none. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.71.166.188 (talk) 03:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

I cannot agree more than this. A list of good sources can be found at the Springer article. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Yep. To ignore/delete the section gives wings to conspiracy nuts and rais more doubts 88.6.232.175 (talk) 13:57, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Why do you call the people "nuts"? Just because your tiny, simple-minded brain can't wrap your head around things? ~2025-42210-05 (talk) 19:39, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
