You're right, it's not the definition. But to a lot of people (I don't know the stats here but based on my experience) "U.F.O" is not an acronym where one examines each of the 3 letters seperately and literally, but instead, is a word used to connote an object in the sky that invokes highly...
How can such a diabolical instrument of government imagination be protected against? How do the secret service agents know that the birds or other wildlife in the lawn are not foreign agents? They don't really even need a camera on the bird, just a microphone and a ditigal recorder to gather...
After watching the video 3 times, I think it is consistent with the object being a hot air balloon -- that caught fire. The material falling is burning pastic, in my opinion. A balloon might also explain why the object hovers in one place when the video starts.
Well, isn't it obvious? The planet Venus as viewed through swamp gas, or possibly a weather balloon :)
Well, isn't the title of the video "Exploding ufo" ? To me atleast, UFOs = "flying saucers".
Wow, are we looking at the same page? All the comments I see are... well, junk.
[edit - Oops, I didn't realize this thread was so old. The comments you refer to are probably in a latter page by now.]
There were bat bombs in WWII, Acoustic Kitty thanks to that other government agency, dolphins de-mining harbors, robotic mice to help search and resue, and now China brings the world...

According to the article...
No, I'm not formally trained... unless you count 1 semester of astronomy in college :)
Well, here's an very introductory level NASA article:

A new Trek movie has been anounced and de-annouced so often that Paramount annoucning an official release date is good news to those of us who wanted another trek movie :)
BIG NEWS: Paramount Pictures announced that the next Trek movie is going to be comming Christmas Day 2008! Woohooo :)
After the Enterprise series, I though trek had died, but if this movie turns out to be up to the par of the Original Series (or even TNG) then it will be great!

That seems to go against everything I've read concerning our collision with Andromeda. Namely that the VAST majority of the stars in our galaxy will not be "destroyed" by the event... perhaps only a few near the center of the galaxy will be in any real danger. Our solar system is far enough away...
Why do you say that? I would think the intense temperature and pressure in the core would keep it in a gaseous state. Although the core does rotates as a solid body.
Umm, I'm not sure about that. "PSR B1257+12 A" is an exo-solar planet with a mass that is LESS than the Earth's (it's only 2x lunar mass).
But that's not all. A possible comet/asteroid may have also been discovered in the same pulsar system that has an UPPER mass limit of 0.0004 Earths...
