single event where two or more people are unable to identify the same flying object?

Why is this so hard for some people to admit UFOs (whatever they might be) exist?

The British Defense Ministry is releasing their files of multi-corroberated sightings: http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Quirks/2007/12/23/britain_set_to_release_secret_ufo_files/3551/

If they don't exist, what is the British Defense Ministry releasing a list of?

Last night, observing the full moon in my home city, northeast of Mexico it had like a ring not too close to it, very bright but seemed like a ring of fog. I could appreciate information regarding what I saw. Does it happen each month?

If every matter that has mass is considered to have a Gravity in them, it would make WD5 gravitationally attracted Earth and Mars. If Gravity is the reason that held the position of every planet around the Sun, and the planets orbit in a form of centrifugal force, any planet that are hit by WD5 would send it out of it's original orbit. Not only that, every big object that travel across the solar system will hit a planet and not avoid it like the one that almost hit Earth on 2004 (1994).

The theory of Gravity that are widely considered is calculated base on low technology or very little technology. Those people made their calculation without even kwowing what really is space environment. You don't have to agree with me, but in my calculation the theory of Gravity that are widely considered has no safety in mind.
What is your opinion ?

Okay, I have a theory that since the universe has mass (not just on Sundays), that:

1. The universes' shape is defined by it's own gravity
2. The universe battles between the pressure of the big bang, and gravity caused by all matter in the universe.
3. As you go closer to the center of the universe, because of (cyntrifical force/gravity), time maves more slowly (relatively); As you go futher away from the center of the universe, time moves faster.
4. A spherical barrier made up of all of the 4 properties of matter exists on the edge of the universe (unpenetrable, for obvious reasons)
5. In the hypothetical 'outside' of the universe, time moves atr an infinite speed.
6. At the center of the universe is a core singularity where all matter originated from.
7. The singularity of the universe acts as a black hole (infinate gravity, non-moving time).
8. The singularity has no mass, and is made up of remenant anti-matter nebulae from the big bang.

Let me know what you think.

Can someone explain Kepler's Third Law of planetary motion to me? I have the definition but I just don't understand what it is. Help!

I believe various nations are seeking to explore beyond our planetary atmosphere. With the end of the "Cold War," America and Russia no longer feel the need out do each other. And so, I am curious about who is making the most strides "now" ?

I was wondering if a pro out there could answer just a few questions I have regarding the above themes. Is it true that within the next few years (leading up to 2012)...that the earth will change it's axis while it spins? Also, will we be enterring the center of this particular galaxy around 2012? And finally, will there be a planetary alignment around this time too? What are the earth effects of these 3 events happening around the same time? Spirtuality says one thing....I'd like to hear the council of Science and Astronomy for a change. Thanks to everyone who participates in answering these inquiries.

Happy Holiday Season to all.

I'm in California, and there's a bright star (possibly a planet) that's very close to the full moon (about right next to the moon's glow).

Does anyone know which star/planet this is?

I have just read an AP news story entitled "Mars Glow, No need for Rudolph's nose." It is a story of the red planet giving a greater amount of light than the moon on Dec. 24 2007. My question is; "Is this a recurring event? If so, How often does it occur? And does it usually occur on or about the same date?"
In other words; this time it is happening on Dec. 24, will the next be say like in the middle of summer? Or will it also be in the Fall or winter as well?
I am curious and plan to search the past occurances for a theory of mine, But I would like to know how far Back I should go for the last Occurance.

Looking up in the sky tonight (i'm in Ohio) I can see a very bright dot of light to the direct right of the moon. It's very small, like a planet would look. But i've never seen anything like it before, and I didn't think any planets were that close to the moon. What is it? My family has been outside just staring at it, trying to figure it out. Is it a really bright star or what?

If you don't know what Pluto-Kuiper is than don't answer this question. I know it was launched last year, and should reach Pluto by 2015, but does anybody know where it is now? I don't need an accurate answer, just what planet it's near or something.

Hello. Besides the obvious question I'm asking, I was also wondering what an astronaut's wages are? Do they change whether or not you go into space? When I was younger, I didn't really want to be an astronaut--but since this 8th grade science class (we just studied space) I've realized that I'm really excited about this kind of stuff. Anyways--I'll tell you about myself. I'm 14, and in 8th grade. I'm considered 'smart'. Last year I got all A's (besides the 'B' I got in a non-core class). This year so far, I've recieved A's and B's. Last year I recieved an award that's given to only one person per grade a year for academic achievement, character, behaviour--etc. I don't consider myself fat really, but I know that doesn't have anything to do with my athletic condition. I suppose I'm normal. I'm not out of shape, but I'm not Wonder Woman if you know what I mean. Oh! My last question is: Are there are good colleges that astronauts usually come from? Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

I live in North America, and I would like to know what's up with the moon tonight? (if anyone knows) I know it's a full moon, but there is a little star looking thing by it....is it a planet, or a meteriote? Thanks.
