The latest edit has changed "...discovered Pluto..." to "discovered the dwarf planet Pluto..." While it's true that Pluto has been demoted, it could be understood as meaning it was always considered a dwarf planet. I think it's cleaner to just say "discovered Pluto." Let the Pluto article deal with its travails from 'unidentified thing' to 'planet' to 'dwarf planet.' Boxjam 00:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

That may be true, but please don't vandalize the articles. Adam Bishop 00:32, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I like the articles, but can you include more about family life???

[edit] reliable source?

The article says:

"I have seen three objects in the last seven years which defied any explanation of known phenomenon, such as Venus, atmospheric optic, meteors or planes. I am a professional, highly skilled, professional astronomer. In addition I have seen three green fireballs which were unusual in behavior from normal green fireballs...I think that several reputable scientists are being unscientific in refusing to entertain the possibility of extraterrestrial origin and nature."

Is there a verifyable and reliable source for this? Bubba73 (talk), 01:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
