Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?

I recently came across this web site:

http://www.bethlehemstar.net/

What if science can show, that the 'star' that was a sign of the Messiah's birth, did exist?

Here's a paragraph from the site:

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM FASCINATES. For millennia, believers, scoffers and the curious have wondered at the Biblical account of the Star. The Bible recounts unusual, or even impossible astronomical events at Christ's birth. For many doubters, the account of the Star is easily dismissed as myth. For many believers, it's a mystery accepted on faith. But what happens if we combine current historical scholarship, astronomical fact and an open mind? Judge for yourself...

For those who don't like reading, there is this video :

I'd very much appreciate any feedback.

I have the DVD that you posted a part of, fascinating, you can pick it up at a christian bookstore if you would like to see the entire DVD, it also has a extra bit that will blow your mind.
Now to address the non believers on this site, I've presented the same thing to them a while back and as usual when you give them scientific proofs they call everyone idiots and use a lot of foul language. You see they are afraid of any scientific proof about Christ, it leaves them with nothing bad to say about Him, worst of all they are afraid it will make them look stupid. What they do not seem to understand is this, we see how ridiculous they are when they want keep an open mind and examine the things we bring to an argument. This is the same things they accuse christians of, they have a double standard so they do not have to ever face the reality of Christ. Their attitude should tell you that they do not want to believe because they would not be able to live the lives they see fit for them, what they do not understand is that they can believe in the God of creation and still live the lives they want to God want force them to accept Him as savior.
