Question

【题目】 Many people have stories about seeing aliens (外星人). Here are two.

Judy Varns works for a group called the Mutual UFO Network. She thinks a place called Area 51, in Nevada in the US, may be the best place on Earth to see UFOs. One day, she took some photos there and saw something she thinks was a UFO. “We saw this little round thing in the photos. It's kind of exciting,” she says.

Pat Travis lives near Area 51. One night, she saw a beam of strange light (一束奇怪的光) in the sky. According to Travis, the light moved from left to right, up and down, and it made many strange moves. Travis thinks the light was from a UFO.

The US Air Force is at Area 51. Some people think it keeps secrets (秘密), like UFOs that came to Earth and the aliens inside them. But in fact, Area 51 is a place the US Air Force uses to test new technology (技术), such as new kinds of planes.

James McGaha is a pilot at Area 51. “There is no UFO activity at Area 51,” he says. “No aliens.”

So what did Varns and Travis see? Bill Fox works at Area 51, too. He thinks he knows the answer. “We did build some strange-looking planes,” he says. “I could see why some people would think they were UFOs.”

Have aliens visited us? You'll have to decide for yourself. But if you do visit Nevada, keep your eyes on the skies!
