What part of the Moon is facing us when it's a new Moon?
Answer that please.

This clearly shows these are birds or bats, you can see the wings flap under close-up viewings.
I don't think UFO Fleets, flap their wings...
DEBUNKED!

Absolutely awesome video! They lift up from the same spot, suddenly.
Is interesting to know which Crater it is....
Any idea?

The same part as when it's full. The moon doesn't rotate..we see the same side of it all the time, and its angle to the sun is what illuminates it from new to full and back again. It orbits, but doesn't spin around while orbiting. Unless my education is as lame as I'm beginning to suspect.

Or, maybe it does, looking at what DenyO said....
hmmm.

Incorrect, the Moon does rotate, but it's rotational period and orbital period are the same, which is why we always see the same face. Human Alien can't seem to grasp this.
It is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face with its near side marked by dark volcanic maria that fill between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters.
The Moon is in synchronous rotation: it rotates about its axis in about the same time it takes to orbit the Earth. This results in it nearly always keeping the same face turned towards the Earth. The Moon used to rotate at a faster rate, but early in its history, its rotation slowed and became tidally locked in this orientation as a result of frictional effects associated with tidal deformations caused by the Earth.[90] The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side the far side. The far side is often called the "dark side", but in fact, it is illuminated as often as the near side: once per lunar day, during the new moon phase we observe on Earth when the near side is dark.[91]

Did you post two different videos of how the Moon always faces the same way towards Earth, while insisting that it does not? Or did I misunderstand you?
Second, someone just posted an example of a such a simple particle-effect that I claimed that the faked UFO-video that is the result of these 4 pages, was using.
It looks like I wasn't allowed to call it "Nonsense" back then. I'll try again.edit on 16-9-2012 by Consequence because: (no reason given)

One would think though, if you're going to go through all the trouble to hoax the audience, you'd dot all your I's and cross all your T's and make sure (something as stupid as the phase of the Moon) won't trip you up.
