Astronomy







When researching, I found the Biblical, and Darwin's Theories to be east to find information on, but the Theosophical Society was more obscure and less well known.

I believe that Darwin's theory of evolution is the most feasible. This is because the thought of Atlantis, and new continents rising, is unrealistic. I think that the Creator theory is not feasible, because in-family reproducing, without genetic defects, is biologically impossible.

UFOs
I can investigate the history of UFOs including claims that the military has hidden evidence about them from the public. Do you agree/disagree with the validity of these findings? Support your answer.


(Written from narrative perspective) Good Evening, and welcome to Roswell: UFO, Government Cover-up, or Misguided Balloon? Tonight we will be discussing the possible theories surrounding the 1947 crash near Roswell New Mexico. First the facts. 1) There was an unidentified object that crashed into the area surrounding Roswell, New Mexico. 2) The government collected 'bodies' (allegations have varied from 1-5 bodies). 3) There was a newspaper article that said the object was a flying saucer. 4) Within hours the government retracted the article.

The government's story was that the debris was from a lost, experimental weather balloon that crashed, and that the bodies were crash test dummies. This explanation has been disproven by the fact that no government agency or company of any kind had used crash test dummies until 1953.

Some people out there say that the government wants us to think that it was extraterrestrial, so that even uglier truths weren't revealed. Truths like, Operation Paperclip. Operation Paperclip was the name given to the conspiracy surrounding the government bringing in scientist that were with Nazi Germany. The paperclip was referring to the falsified documents created so that the President was unaware, or could be made to seem unaware of the Nazis coming in. The scientists were brought in, supposedly, to help us win the space race, and so the Soviets could not get their hands on the cutting edge German technology in the beginning stages of the Cold War.

I, as an unbiased third party narrator, cannot make a judgment, for then a bias could be shown, but 8th grader, and Roswell Expert, Sam Murray, can make a judgment.

Sam, what is your take on Roswell?

"I think that this is just a mess of government cover-up stories collapsing in on itself. At some point, somebody knew exactly what was going on and what he/she could believe. I think that this mysterious person took it to the grave, for they could never find somebody trustworthy enough, and strong enough to hold the secret of the Roswell UFO crash.

"That being said, I think that there was a UFO crash, but not at Roswell. Then the government found the remnants, brought them to the fabled Area 51, and played Humpty Dumpty with it, but couldn't get it together again. This is where the Nazi's come into play, they were brought in to try to put it together. Anyways, the newly created team of Americans and Germans made many prototypes of what it could have been like. They then test flew them, but at least one either got out of control range or had a faulty steering system, and as a result, flew away and crash landed in Roswell. The 'bodies' were just pieces of metal forged together from intense heat and pressure, that from a distance looked like human analogs."

There you have it. Believe what you may, something crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, and nobody has come forth with the information of exactly what happened that day.

When I was researching, I found a bunch of different UFO sightings, but I found that Roswell was the most common one, and had the most suspicion surrounding it. This is kind of a rough script, excerpt, or series of excerpts from what would be a television special on Roswell.

Key Technological Advancements



I can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.



When researching, I found that I was having trouble with which technological things to include, like with Ptolemy, looking up. I thought he was too important to leave out, so I just found a place for him to be included.

Black Holes


I can research black holes. What are they? How do scientists find black holes? What are some theories regarding black holes? What is the line of singularity? What are some theories of what’s at the bottom of a black hole? Which theory do you think is most probable? Why?

Moon Landing


I can investigate the claim that the landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin was a conspiracy created by the United States government. Support or defend the claim.



When researching, I found that both sides were adamant that they were right. The moon landing was real, was mostly about, 'how could you say such things! That's preposterous!' While the it was fake side, had things that should have, or shouldn't have been in the footage but was.
