Alien Mystery

It was a sunny June day in 1947. A pilot named Kenneth Arnold was flying his plane.

Suddenly, he saw nine objects in the sky.

Were they birds? No. They were too shiny. 

Were they planes? No. There were no people flying them. 

And they were fast! He didn’t know any plane that flew that fast. 

What was he seeing? Were the nine objects from Earth?

Could he be seeing spaceships flown by aliens from another planet?

Could he be seeing spaceships flown by aliens from another planet?

Arnold landed his plane. He told his story. Soon the story was in many newspapers. People could not stop reading about it. Had Arnold seen UFOs? 

It was a mystery. No one knew for sure. 

People across the U.S. started saying that they had seen UFOs too. UFO stands for unidentified flying object.

People thought they saw UFOs everywhere. Farmers saw lights over their land. Kids saw flying saucers. 

Looking for UFOs became something fun to do. People joined UFO clubs. A lot of movies and TV shows were about aliens. 

Then an object was found in New Mexico. People wondered if it was a crashed spaceship! The government said no. They said it was a weather balloon. That is a tool people use to see what the weather will be. But some people didn’t believe it. 

Were there really aliens? It was still a mystery.

But people still say they see UFOs. In the past 20 years, many people have reported seeing them. Experts looked into these reports. They said the reports have many puzzling stories of UFOs.

In 2014 and 2015, five Navy pilots saw objects in the air. They saw these mysterious objects almost every day for a year. 

In the end, the experts said that we don’t have enough facts. Maybe some UFOs are birds, balloons, or tricks of the eye. Maybe they are a new kind of secret technology. Or maybe they really are from another planet. No one knows.

We may never solve the mystery of what Arnold saw in 1947. But scientists are learning more about outer space every day. They use big telescopes that see far into space. They have sent robots to Mars.

And each year, scientists discover new planets. The closest new planet is trillions of miles away. So far, no one has found life on another planet. 

But scientists think that life is out there. It could be found in your lifetime. Maybe you’ll be the one to find it!
