Date columns from different versions of List of reported UFO sightings. First column in the first table below uses <wbr> and the second column uses {{Date table sorting}}. See the wikitext.
See:
- Help:Sortable tables#Year, month, day. Using numbers. ISO date YYYY-MM-DD
- Help:Sortable tables#Date table sorting template: Day and month, Many other date formats
Both columns sort correctly. MOS:DATE and the following section MOS:BADDATE allow both formats, but the first column with <wbr> is much easier to implement.
MOS:SIMPLIFY: See: <wbr> in this section: Help:HTML in wikitext#Formatting. <wbr /> is not mentioned there.
Either column will wrap in a wide table with many columns and/or a verbose notes column.

2004 Mexican UFO incident | NA: Mexico; Campeche | A drug-smuggling air-patrol recorded on infrared camera what some claimed to be UFOs. The footage was released by Jaime Maussan. The observations were however convincingly correlated with the burn-off flares of oil platforms.[1] |
| 2004- |
USS Nimitz UFO incident | NA: United States; Off the coast of San Diego, California | Several pilots from VFA-41 squadron flying Super Hornets from the USS Nimitz, were directed by the USS Princeton to intercept one of several unidentified flying objects detected by radar. The pilots reported a visual encounter and recorded an infrared video. The Navy has verified that the video was taken by Navy personnel and has stated that it has not yet identified the nature of the sightings which they classify as unexplained aerial phenomena.[2][3][4] |
| 2006- |
2006 O'Hare International Airport UFO sighting | NA: United States; Chicago, Illinois | United Airlines employees and pilots claimed sightings of a saucer-shaped, unlit craft hovering over a Chicago O'Hare Airport terminal, before appearing to leave with a rapid vertical rise.[5] |
