Links for uses of Hangar 18

While reformatting this article per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages), I noticed that the original article, first moved to Hangar 18 (movie) and now to Hangar 18 (film), still included the following external links to many other uses of the term "Hangar 18" that are now in this disambiguation article.

• Hangar 18 on UFO.Whipnet.org
• Definitive Jux - Hangar 18 Page
• MUFON - The Mutual UFO Network
• Hangar 18 Indoor Rock Climbing Gym

Also per guidelines, I have moved these links here to provide editors with some initial sources for the non-existent articles. Please note that they should not be added to the article, but are — at best — only references for proper new articles. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Area 51

I took out the link to Area 51 because there are virtually no references to a Hangar 18 at Area 51. Any correlation between the two is most likely misinformation mixing up WPAFB and Area 51 because of the UFO rumors. The movie "Hangar 18" is also science fiction and holds no real world value in this sense. 164.107.252.150 (talk) 01:35, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

No references to Hangar 18 at Area 51? The Federation of American Scientists would like to have a word with you. The situation is opposite: Hangar 18 at Area 51 has fans all over the world while only conspiracy theory enthusiasts have heard of one at Wright-Patterson AFB. I'm putting it back the way it was.--Nathan2000 (talk) 15:50, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

The May 2009 poster is basically correct. Hanger 18 first came to public attention in response to investigations into Roswell. That Hanger 18 is at Wright-Patterson. Over the years as UFO hype began to surround Area 51, people who had only a passing familiarization with UFO stories and who had heard of Hanger 18 began assuming that it was at the now more infamous Area 51, not at WPAFB. As photos slowly became public, these people eventually locked on the large building at Groom Lake and started claiming, based on their assumptions, that it was Hanger 18. The mistake has been perpetuated for so long now that people think the hanger at Groom lake is the original Hanger 18 and the one at WPAFB is a mistake when in fact it is the other way around. BTW, FAS is far from infallible.Altoids boxes (talk) 04:45, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
