Dear Jack，

After being your e-pal for a month，I decide to tell you my interests in UFOs，aliens and my own unexplained experience．

I was born on a farm in Texas．When I was young，I used to wait up late for Santa to come on Christmas Eve．I was filled with excitement and began searching the sky above our farmhouse for his reindeer（驯鹿）and sleigh（雪橇）．I saw several lights in the sky：a cigar shaped （just like a stick）light and several small round lights．I wondered if the cigar shaped light was Santa's sleigh and the small lights were reindeer．But they suddenly disappeared and I was worried that Santa had missed us．Luckily，Santa didn't miss us；I got a toy robot．

I wonder if those lights were UFOs．After witnessing other UFOs later in life，I now believe I did witness SOMETHING! Another such incident（意外）happened when I was 15．We had moved to Kansas and I was playing in the street with a neighbor while our parents were visiting relatives．It was late afternoon and the weather was warm．High in the sky was an extremely fast moving disk，moving east to west．One of the adults was an Air Force Colonel．He said that it wasn't an airplane，it wasn't a satellite，and it wasn't a balloon．“Ladies and Gentlemen”，he called out，“That's a real UFO!”

After reading all my unusual stories，do you believe in the existence of UFOs and aliens? Have you had this kind of experience? If so，please let me share it，okay? I look forward to hearing from you soon．

Yours，

Peter
