According to Benjamin Creme the Star of Bethlehem was a UFO, which sort of makes sense because Stars don't move like the one described in the bible, see on YT "The Star Sign" for more info.
UM, No it wasn't a planetary conjuction. Step outside on a clear night, and look at that bright star above your head. Phone up a friend 30 miles down the road - AND they will report the same observation. The STAR of Bethlehem, singled out the house of the young christ child. No literal star or planetary conjuction can do that. A UFO or Fallen Angels can. COME TO YOUR SENSES EVERYONE.
The star of bethlehem was a planetary conjunction between venus and jupiter and it appeared August 8 of 2 B.C. You can see it with stellarium or any other software.
The star of Bethlehem WAS a conjunction of the planet Jupiter with another star: Regulus, the king star, three times in the constellation Leo (the symbol of the tribe of Judah is a lion). During the first conjunction on Rosh Hashana, Virgo followed Leo, clothed in the sun, with a new moon at her feet. Nine months later, on June 17, 2 BC (not 3, as this vid states), Jupiter came into conjunction with Venus, the mother planet. Birth, Kingship, and Judah. The Magi rode.
When the Magi arrived in Jerusalem in mid-December of 2 BC, they were directed to Bethlehem, five miles due south. By that time, the wandering star they had followed was in the southern sky, right over Bethlehem. It was on December 25 that Jupiter went into full retrograde, seeming to come to a full stop "over the place where the child was." And that's why we celebrate Christmas on December 25.
@AtarahDerek well said.. I give you Johns vision: Revelation 12 1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
@AtarahDerek Virgo the virgin.. this presentation is undeniable and could not have been known until now with computer simulation, and software 'starry night'
What i saw was during the day, so Benjamin Cremes version makes more sense to me.
For Planets are not 1000 mtrs above my head, i'm not that easy to fool.

The three main explanations are:
1. Wrong. Jupiter symbolizes kingship, but its conjunction with Saturn would not be enough to send Magi to the land of the Jews looking for a newborn.
2. Wrong. Comets are too obvious. Remember, Herod and all of Jerusalem were shocked to hear about the star, and Herod had to ask when it appeared.
3. Wrong. See above explanation. In addition, the Chinese did not record any novae in the years 6-2 BC.

YOU ARE CORRECT.
