UFOS
Sixty years ago, a man named Kenneth Arnold saw something that we canstill __(51)today, something that changed popular culture for ever.
Flying his plane over mountains in the US state of Washington, he saw a line of strange objects, either crescent-shaped(月牙形)or disc like, flying __(52) the motion of a saucer(碟)skimming(飛速掠過)on water.
The media soon picked up on the story the Flying Saucers were here! Was the earth being __(53)by creatures from another planet? Soon, so many sightings were made that the US military began to __(54). It called these strange objects UFOs - Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are __(55)today.
Military investigations found no evidence of visitors from outer space. But that did not stop the true __(56). The military were __(57)up, they said. Or
maybe it was because the travelers from space were of such superior intelligence__(58)they could hide from military analysts(分析家).
People have always seen strange lights in the sky. In the past these were explained in __(59)ways. In a world where religion was less influential and science fiction was popular, signs from God were replaced by visitors from other__(60).
The date of the first UFO sightings was also significant. In 1947, World War II had just ended and the __(61)War was just beginning. Humanity seemed locked
in endless conflicts. Like generations before them, people looked __(62)the skies for help. But instead of seeking God, they looked for help fromsuper-intelligent aliens(外星人)with__(63)technology. Belief in UFOs became the first religion of science.
However, even people who believe in UFOs are not quite sure why they visit the earth. The universe is a big place and it is __(64)to assume that there
is life somewhere out there. It is possible that aliens have worked out how to travel through space. Yet some people report that they have been taken by aliens and have had experiments __(65)on them. Why would anyone travel across half the universe to conduct medical experiments on people living in small towns in the United States?
