Viewing Them from the Ground
Depending on your location on the Earth's surface, the spacecraft's position in orbit and the time of day, you may be able to see either the space shuttle or the International Space Station, or both, as they orbit about 386 kilometers (240 miles) above the planet. A spacecraft will be seen as a steady white pinpoint of light moving slowly across the sky.
For each shuttle flight, the Flight Dynamics Officers in NASA's Mission Control Center use sophisticated computer software to predict when and where the shuttle will be visible to people on the ground. Now that station assembly has begun, they also will predict where the space station will be visible from the ground. For rendezvous and docking missions, both will be visible at the same time once the two vehicles have docked in orbit and only one listing will be necessary.

It's not like a star at all. It moves quite fast. Big difference.

Astronomy. My dream encompasses operating a large telescope/observatory to farming Mars, and everything in between.
At the moment, as a RE Professional, I have to work to find work, so to speak, and do not have the time to make it into a hobby. I'll get a tele and setup in a few years.

No they are not "protecting us". Our governments have an agreement with the grays to abduct a certain number of us for experiments and food in exchange for some of their technology.
That "agreement" has since fallen through and we are being exploited.
Our government officials are behind the eight ball and just don't want the public to know how powerless we are in this situation.
Know how TPTB like to shove what is actually going on in your face and under your nose?
Watch the new V series.............explains a lot.

Then you 100% were not observing the ISS. It is so simple to observe correctly and corroborate, however you can't even do that.....and you want to sit here and tell us your powers of observation and mental aptitude to intelligently discuss the subject of UFOs is adequate? It's the ISS, how could you get that sighting wrong for crying out loud then come on here and try to impress us "skeptics" with your knowledge of the UFO subject.
If you can't get reality right, I'm sure as heck not getting into a debate about fantasy/fictional/non-existing evidence and ignorant internet rumors that seem never to go away.

do not cling to these ideas, weather they are in contact or not, you have nothing they want, dont get yourself exicted over nothing.
If they wish to make contact welcome them like you would welcome a friend, we are very primtive some people would try to attack these vistors, and doom our future by doing so.

Who said anything about not believing in aliens?

I do respect the astronauts; enough that I will listen to what they actually say, not misinterpreting or misappropriating their words and subscribing to hearsay about them.

Your appeal-to-spite aside, the official story is irrelevant; I care about based on the evidence as examined through critical thinking.
Why don't we discuss the subject instead of trying to change it?

When did you give these facts?
Originally posted by Ben81

I already have. You have posted no facts, only rumors and hearsay.
Originally posted by Ben81
and what are your belief on the subject...
My beliefs are irrelevant. My beliefs do not make the subject any more or less valid. Let us deal with facts, not beliefs.
And you are still trying to change the subject. The subject is neither me nor my beliefs.

Just another point of view - you are not posting "facts". You are posting speculation and opinion. While these things may feel emotionally compelling to you, they are not, in fact, facts.
A link to the Apollo recordings, for instance, might constitute "fact", assuming that disputes over authenticity did not exclude them from that category.
I am reading this thread dligently waiting for fact, or even disputable evidence - something more than speculation - and have yet to see any.
Just saying.
This Madonna was painted sometime during the 1400s. The artist’s name is not known, but the painting has been credited to the Lippi school.
At first glance you will probably notice a strange shape in the sky above the Madonna’s left shoulder. If you were to see the original, full size painting you would see the object clearly.
Looking at the enlargement of that area you can see that there is some sort of flying craft in the sky. You can even see that there is a man and his dog standing there who seem to be looking up at the craft.
