Tina woke up at midnight. She looked out of her window and saw a yellow light in the sky. It suddenly dived towards ground. She heard a noise and saw a red light.
The next morning, Tina mentioned it to her brother Tom. “I’m sure something landed in the forest near the hills as I heard a loud noise last night,” she said.
“Let’s explore after school.”
At 6 p.m., Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some bushes and kept quiet. Then they saw an alien! It was tall, with a round head and a silver body. It was standing next to a long spaceship. The spaceship was damaged because of a crash.
The children were frightened. Suddenly, another alien appeared from the bushes in front of them. It discovered them and made a terrible noise! The children ran away in fear.

“There was something written on the spaceship,” said Tom.
