Ok I had a look at the JPL orbit diagram and I can see what is meant by both the proximity to Aldebaran , ie very little movement, and Jupiter is higher up not lower down - takes a bit to get your head round it - the axial tilt at night that is - looking out away at the planet
but , as I said to djw I dont see how the objects in question are actually moving faster than the moon - lapping the moon in fact is how I have observed them for 2 -3 months , and on exactly the same track.
I have recorded the full moon and the passes (at exactly full moon ) 2 months in a row , so will try to put a vid together to show this .
Another unusual factor has been the moon showing a full halo at full moon during the both the passes also - can it be explained that the passes travel past the moon , not the moon travels past 'jupiter and aldebarran'?

Thanks for your patience - what has confused me is that on the last 'lapping' which occurred recently , on the same night then jupiter and aldebaran appeared to the left of the moon and then by the end of the night they were on the right of it . Effectively it appeared that they were lapping the moon as if in orbit - and travelling slightly faster than the moon then , if in orbit .
Since apparently they are not , I am guessing your explanation is that the moon 'slips' in its orbital journeying which would make its speed of travel somewhat slower than the speed of earth's rotation ?
What I had always thought was that the moon appears to move a lot faster than any of the rest of the luminaries especially stars but including planets ?

Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, the Moon moves 360 / 27.3 or 13.2 degrees per day relative to the stars, which is just over half a degree per hour, and approximately equal to its apparent size. This means that from night to night, the Moon moves a little more than one hand-width to the East (the direction of its motion around the Earth) relative to the stars, and from hour to hour, it moves about one diameter to the East, among the stars.

Even though most people dont look up at the sky at night too often , the fact is there's a """""ing massive spaceship travelling in orbit around this planet as you read this .
On other posts put here on ats recently , it's evident that some people have noticed the unusually bright 'star' which rises and sets along the path the moon usually takes .
There are however two stars which travel together , a short distance between them (depending on current distance away) and these 2 stars denote the front and the back of the ship .
As a sign of its presence to earth , the spacecraft has met the moon when it is full , at least twice now in the last 2 lunar months . It has been in a near earth orbit for the last 3 months at least .
A good indicator of its proximity , is that when at the horizons (due east or due west) the distance between the ends of the ship appears greater , just as the moon appears larger when near the horizon . This is down to the magnifying effect of earths atmosphere.
To refute any argument that it is Jupiter , (as iphone spacemaps pretend) then 1 planets should appear much nearer the southerly horizon than the spaceship does - it follows the path of the moons orbit, ie around the equator .
And 2 , Jupiter does not have a 'fixing' with another star that travels with it , as it has done , in a constantly fixed pattern for 3 months now - a planet being much closer than other luminaries , travels across the sky and away from other background stars .
To refute any argument that it is Procyon (canis minor) then that star is the 7th brightest in the night sky - while the spaceships front end is the brightest 'star' by __far to be seen in the night sky at the present time .
Spacemaps on iphones are in disagreement - one program denotes the ship's front end as Procyon , while another program denotes the ships front end as Jupiter and the back end (not as bright) as Aldebaran.
While the midsection is not lit , there are several other lights in triangle shape which appear visible in variable arrangements , as we look (northern hemisphere) , to the right hand side of the ship .
Has anyone else noticed this thing ? There's a lot more I could mention , such as the revelation prophecy of it's being the New Jerusalem (translated The Praised City) of chapter 22 - the last page of the Bible.
Since cheats , the abominative and liars are to be 'banned' by it , the arrival of this ship is heralded already as very good news for the earth , bringing the universal moral law into effect here , hopefully , forevermore !
Do people wear blindfolds at night or will the guilty (how many are there??) be afraid , how long will it be until humankind wakes up to this visiting spaceship so close to the earth ?
From the revelation of 9/11 which I helped to warn everyone about - governments are not in favour , and there nothing they can do against the power this spaceship carries .
I suggest all who can then repent to the Lord of the Worlds - commonly known as 'God' - asking forgiveness for the unbeleif and evil acts currently so prevalent among mankind , even so , as things still are in disarray. Who would, looking down, be impressed with the ignorant human race , or the governments which hold such clearly false balances ?
As the books of prophecy state - a clearance (of mankind) is in order - similar to what happened in Noah's time .
People might not beleive in prophecy , but , which such immense power on show , right now , what's a few thousand years to a ship like that ??
Sometimes you just have to beleive the truth - the facts of life are not something you can deny all the time .
This is life, remember that - shortly enough its going to be trouble if you dont . Sorry about that !!
Has everyone missed this

Ok, I got a real stupid question for everyone, I do understand the concept that the earth revolves, and our views of the stars changes. Back in the fall I could see Orion due east, plain as day, I would see it when I left work, and one day it just disappeared. Then, I found it again a few months later due south. It was almost like a glitch in the Matrix, for lack of a better term. If it was a progression from east to south, I could understand, but to disappear, then pop up in a totally different place? Please enlighten me.
excuse me but you are doing a terrible job
of debunking this
your knowledge of celestial mechanics needs brushing up
the t&c keeps me from commenting on on your christmas argument
you also seem to assume this particular asterism/conjunction happens yearly
sheesh
it's making the op look like he may have something after all
