No.
There are MANY reasons for stuff.
Like the flag that is waving on the moon... there is no wind on the moon, then why is it waving??? many people say it was fake, but it is the simple fact that space is a vacuum, the flag wouldnt do anything, but sit there.

More on physics...If you wave a flag on a pole around in a vaccum, then hold the pole still, the flag will continue to wave around for quite some time. Why? Because that's the law--a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Outside a vaccum, there are lots of things that come into contact with a moving object, and slow it through friction. In a vaccum, less things come into contact, less things slow the motion.
The problem is that you can provide logical explanations for just about everything, but people prefer to believe the illogical ones. Even more than our love for vicarious violence, we love the strange and bizarre, and will often ignore the obvious in favor of the obscure.

If you have a chance, www.badastronomy.com has a really good exploration of this topic. I didn't see the picture of the flag on that website, but I know that in order to get the flag to stand straight out so that old glory could be visible they used metal rods to hold it out. In the pictures where it looks like it is waving, the metal rods have just not all the way been extended.
I read about something where nearly all astronauts believe that theyve seen UFOs while in space, and that NASA tells them not to speak about it. I cant remember where I read/heard that though.
