Some years ago, an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road. She did not appear to have an accident, but she was shaking and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the hospital. She began to tell the doctor on duty a story which was astonishing in all respects.

　 She had been driving along a country road when she had been stopped by a flying saucer landing in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer by creatures which looked like human beings and which could easily make themselves understood although they could not speak.

　 They could read her thoughts and she could read theirs. They tested her politely and allowed her to leave after carrying out a number of tests on her. As she otherwise seemed to be normal, the doctor decided that she was probably suffering from the side effects (副作用) of some medicine. The woman insisted on being allowed to go home, but when she gave her address, it was in a town over a thousand miles from the hospital. The police then started to make inquiries (打听) and soon discovered that there was already a search going on for the woman, whose husband badly reported that she had disappeared. Her car had been found with the driver’s door open and the engine running. In front of the car the surface of the road had been completely destroyed—not by an explosion (爆炸) or anything of that kind, but as if a large, round, white-hot object had burnt through it.
