Astronomy & Space - April 2007

I was 13 yrs. old and playing outside one evening (8:30) and a playmate pointed out a moving light in the sky. I and about 6 other kids looked and saw a point of light moving in the night sky. It would stop at a star, would stop for a few seconds and move on to the next star. The time of observed travel from one star to another took about 10-15 seconds (+ -). This point of light kept stopping at a star and then moving on to another star until it finally disappeared over the horizon. I now know that travelling from one star to another in a matter of seconds would require unheard of speeds. I cannot to this day even begin to explain such a feat but what we all saw that night is hard to understand. Has anyone else ever experienced such an event?

You can use UFO's for alot of things, sending probes to multiple planets, environmental research, planetary defense, quick and automated construction and mining/machining, let's make these suckers build homes and buildings, perform high speed search and rescue operations, forget police helicopters, use UFO's during car chases and let them
disable vehicles and stun people to capture the bad guys. See how fast these suckers move? There wouldn't be a police chase. Crime would drop if they thought a highly automated machine UFO armed with a really big stun gun might zap em if they tried anything. Just imagine if someone tried to rob a store and a really big mothership was overhead and was capable of staying and waiting there forever, and if a UFO can pickup cows and other things it could pickup someone fleeing from a vehicle or anything else. Or possibly stop a war.

So what would you do with one if you had one and how would you use it?

I dont think its the spacestation b/c it doesnt move; i watched it for 30 minutes and it faded out (but the "star" itself was still visible, just not very bright) twice in that period. Im not sure if its Venus or not, but its below Taurus about level with Orion's "feet". Its incredibly bright as well. Im beginning to wonder if its a dying star or one being born, i dont think ive seen one this bright before. Another thing, i dont think its the north star because that is in the Big Dippers handle i believe. Anyway, if you can help me out it would b greatly appreicated.. Thanx!!

Many still believe that man walked on the moon, but there is growing suspicion that NASA staged all of them. The original film tapes are "missing."

How can a national treasure be missing?

in school today, our teacher told us that odds are we did not land on the moon, that it was just pure hollywood. he said that for that time, what would possibly posses us to go on the moon, because around that time, we were trying to pratice nutrality. also, i was told that recent studdies have shown that the shadows are in the wrong spots, and also i heard you can see very thin wires and stuff likt that. also if we have been to the moon, why havent we ever been back in like 64 or so years? well russia or someone is planning on going to the moon, so when they go, they will see if we really were on the moon.
