Question

Dr. Lynn Moorman was a young doctor. She had a strange experience in June when she was spending Saturday night at her parents’ house. Whenever she stayed with them, she slept on the long sofa in the sitting room. The sofa was set against a wall under a large picture window (整塊玻璃做的景觀窗).

Around three o’clock that morning, Dr. Moorman opened her eyes and noticed a flashing light outside the house. She thought that it was a firefly (螢火蟲). A moment later, as the light continued to flash, she realized that it was too bright to be a firefly.

Then the light moved towards the window and unbelievably through the window into the room. It passed in front of her, perhaps as close as three feet. Then Dr. Moorman noticed that it appeared to have two sets of wires (電線) coming from the top and bottom (底部). Each time the object flashed, Dr. Moorman saw it clearly. But when the light turned off, the object was no longer seen.

Dr. Moorman was quite scared. She thought about shouting, but couldn’t open her mouth. When the light moved into the kitchen, she ran to her sister’s bedroom. “Move over,” she said, “ I saw something, maybe an alien, that scared me and I’m coming into bed with you.” The next morning at breakfast she told her family what had happened, but no one else had noticed anything. Her experience remains a puzzle.

Did Dr. Moorman meet an alien? Did she imagine the object? Or did she see a small UFO that had come visiting that night?
