Where Have All Our Visitors Gone?
Sixty years ago, a man named Kenneth Arnold saw something that people are still(51)today -something that changed popular culture for ever.
Flying his plane over mountains in the US state of Washington, he saw a line of strange objects, either crescent -shaped or disc-like, flying(52)the motion of a saucer skimming on water.
The media soon picked up on the story -the Flying Saucers were here! Was the earth being(53)by creatures from another planet? Soon, so many sightings were made that the US military began to(54). It called these strange objects UFOs -Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are(55)today.

It is possible that aliens have worked out how to travel through space. Yet some people report that they have been taken by aliens and have had experiments(65)on them. Why would anyone travel across half the universe to conduct medical experiments on people living in small towns in the United States?
选项
A、unthinkable
B、impossible
