 LISTEN AND READ
 UFOs are strange flying objects that some people report they 
 have seen in the sky and believed to be spacecraft from 
 another planet. Many scientists do not believe so. They say 
 that if people see a UFO, it might be an aircraft, a weather 
 balloon or a meteor. However, there is still evidence for people 
 to believe in the existence of UFOs.
 In 1947, Kenneth Arnold, an experienced pilot in the USA, 
 reported that he saw nine large round objects traveling at 
 about 2,800 meters an hour to the left and north of Mount 
 Rainier.
 In 1952, there were more than 1,500 UFO sightings 
 around the world. Unit 10: LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS

above their house. The woman said she saw two aliens in 
the spacecraft. 
In 1964, a farmer claimed he saw an egg- shaped object in 
one of his fields and also aliens collecting soil samples. 
In 1971, two men claimed they were captured by aliens and 
taken abroad a spacecraft. After being examined by the 
aliens, the men were freed. 
In 1978, a young pilot and his plane disappeared after 
sighting a UFO.
