Take this telescope home and look at the night sky from your backyard. I want you
to write down everything interesting you see and next week we will talk about it in
class, Mr. Anderson said at the end of our astronomy class.
I asked my best friend Courtney if she wanted to come over to my house on Saturday to watch the stars with me. She agreed and we decided we would camp out all night. Tonight is going to be very clear, my mom said as she helped us set the tent up. We sat watching the sky for several hours.
Adam, what is that? Courtney asked, sounding very confused. I looked into the telescope and saw that a large, circular airplane was getting closer and closer to us. It had thousands of rotating lights and I could see two small, green men leaning over the controls.It is coming right for us! I shouted.
The flying saucer landed and the two spacemen got out with smiles on their long, flat faces. They shook our hands as we stood unable to speak. We are from the planet Kepron 12 and we have been sent to teach you about the universe, said the smaller of the two aliens with a very odd-sounding accent.
Courtney and I spent the rest of the night learning about the universe from our new friends until they had to leave. Good luck in your astronomy class next week, the taller alien said. I hope that we can meet again and maybe you can visit our home.
We both said we would like to and waved to them as they flew away. The next couple of days went by slowly because we were excited to give our report. On Thursday, our chance finally came.
Mr. Anderson, however, laughed and said, You guys have great imaginations! But your assignment was supposed to be on things that you actually saw. He would not listen to us and told us to repeat the task next weekend. We didnt mind though. Courtney and I both knew that sometime in the future our friends would be back. One day, we will prove to everyone that we were right.
