Tales of the unexplainedflying saucer 飞碟UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) 不明飞行物The origin(起源) of the names:In the United States, the first flying saucers
were reported on June 4, 1947, by a private
plane pilot(飞行员).He saw nine objects
traveling in the sky. Each was disk shaped
and very bright. Because their movements
were compared to (比做)those of a
“saucer (碟子)skimming across the water”,
newspaper reporters called them
“flying saucers”.Some weeks after the first reported
sighting（目击）, the United States Air Force was given the job of investigating（调查） all the reports of flying saucers.
Because of the confusing（令人费解的） variety of shapes, sizes, and colors reported ,
the Air Force adopted（采用） the term “Unidentified Flying Objects” (UFO)
to describe them. Himalayas
the highest mountain range in the world Yeti
Abominable Snowman Half-man and half-beastThe yeti is a humanlike monster who is supposed to live in the Himalayas,the
highest Mountain range in the world.Several sightings, mainly of footprints, have been reported by westerner explorers throughout the years. Yet none of them have been supported with evidence in any way. Loch Ness the largest of a series of interlinked lochs, or lakes, located in northern one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions.Lock Ness MonsterOn the 21st December 1933, the Daily Mail carried the following headline: “Monster of Loch Ness is not a Legend but a Fact.” The hunter said: “It is a four fingered beast and it has feet or pads of eight inches across. I judge it to be a powerful soft footed animal about 20 feet in length....... I am sure that it can breathe like a crocodile(鄂鱼) with just one nostril(鼻孔) out of the water." The SphinxHalf human, half lion, the Sphinx is 240 feet long and 66 feet high Pyramids , Egypt what is known to us?
It is very hard to realize how big the Great Pyramid is.
It has over 2,300,000 blocks of solid stone .These huge
stone blocks weight an average of two and a half tons
each, as much as a small car. Some even weight fifteen
tons. Without machinery, the ancient
Egyptians cut and moved and
lifted each of these stones.
It took more than 100,000 slaves
twenty years to build
the Great Pyramid.
what is unknown to us?
It is very hard to answer who built the Great Pyramid .
Whoever built the Pyramid knew the Earth well:
the average height of the continents(大陆),
and the center of the land mass.
The average height of land above sea level
(海平面)， as can be measured only by modern-day satellites and computers,
happens to be 5,449 inches.
That is the exact height of the Pyramid.The Pyramid is located at(位于) the exact center of the Earth's land mass. Stonehenge ? prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain, southern England, consisting of two concentric circles of large standing stones.?It was built between 2800 and 1500 BC and is thought to have been an astronomical calendar or a temple to the sun. How did these stones stand upright(直立)?
The truth is nobody really knows. It required
sheer muscle power and hundreds of men to
move one of these ,the heaviest of them
weighing probably about 45 tons.
There are some wonderful myths and legends.2. If you saw a UFO or a monster some day, what would you do?Group discussion1. Do you believe in unexplained things mentioned above? Why or why not?3. What other unexplained things do you know about?a hotel balcony , Portugal , Sept, 2003Photo observation 1
On seeing this photo , how are you feeling?
Why?no lights on or around,
no other rooms above the woman; no light could have reflected on the woman here.Santiago, 5:40 p.m. May 10, 2004Photo observation 2:
What has drawn your attention?an unusual creature crossed the road behind one of the police on horseback; meanwhile, strange lights appeared in the same area

3.Align the sides of any two triangles and tape into place.
