Aliens

    Scientists have been studying aliens for a long time and still don’t know if aliens are real. There is only one place where they could be – the Hiber Tunnel.
    No one has ever made it through the Hiber Tunnel. Then, a man came to NASA and told one of the scientists, “I heard you need someone to go through the Hiber Tunnel. I want to be the one to go through.”
    The scientists were shocked and one of them said, “But, no one has ever made it through!”
    “Nothing is too tough for me!” the man said.
    “Well, all right, but you’re going to need weapons just in case,” one scientist said.
    “Yea!” replied the man.
    The sun was bright as the man walked to the space shuttle. His space suit was heavy but that was no problem for the man. His space helmet shined bright in the sun.
    Then a scientist came running and said, “Here’s your weapons and a camera. There might be aliens in the Hiber Tunnel!”
    The man entered the space shuttle and blasted off. In two minutes, he was in outer space. The scientists came up on the screen inside the ship. They told the man to go a little farther and steer to the right. There it was, the Hiber Tunnel!
    Once the space shuttle got closer, the tunnel dragged the ship in. It was like being inside a tornado. The screen said “Warning! Warning!” The ship kept going faster. It was going as fast as the speed of sound. The man saw a white light and hoped it was the end of the Hiber Tunnel. Then, the ship crashed. When the man got out of the space ship, he was very dizzy. When the dizziness stopped, he saw aliens! The aliens took out their weapons.
    The man said, “I come in peace.”
    The aliens put their weapons away.
    “They understand me,” said the man. Then he took out the camera. The aliens started running all over the place.
    “They must not like to have their pictures taken but I have to get their picture,” said the man. He sighed and said to himself, “I have two problems. The ship crashed and it’s damaged and I can’t take the aliens pictures.”
    Next the man had an idea. He told the aliens to shut their eyes. He quickly took their pictures and then told them to open their eyes. The aliens didn’t even know the man had taken their picture.
    “Can you fix my space ship?” asked the man.
    The aliens looked at the ship and nodded. They took out their tools and ran towards the ship. In three minutes, the ship was fixed. The man ran into the space ship. He blasted off and headed back towards the Hiber Tunnel. The aliens waved good-bye.
    Wouldn’t the scientists be excited to see the pictures! After the man got out of the Hiber Tunnel, the scientists came up on the screen.
    “Did you get any pictures?” they asked.
    “Oh, yea,” the man answered. “Now, where’s the way back to earth?”
    The scientists told him to take a left.
