I read a book named “Mr. Jealous”. This book contains some stories and I read “Alien Spacecraft”. Do you believe alien or UFO?? I answer with “NO”. However, this book tells mysterious story happened in America.
On the afternoon of 29 December, Betty Cash drives to Dayton with her two sons and they went to the cinema and eat at that new café.
Later that night, they drove back from Dayton. It was very dark and quiet on the small road. They sang with the songs on the radio but suddenly, the radio stopped and there was a strong white light in the sky. They thought it was dangerous, so Betty went back to the car with Colby, but Jack stayed there. Jack walked down the road though Betty stopped. Betty heard a lot of noises and it burned his hand.
Ten minutes later, the light started to move up into the sky. Then they saw two air force airplanes.
When they drove back to Crosby, they all felt ill. Colby’s face was burned and he had a pain in his eyes. Betty lost some hair. Jack was very ill.
They went to see important people in the air force and said, “We saw a light in the sky. What did the airplanes do?” However, the air force people said that there were no airplanes on the night of that day.
It is strange story. If alien exist, I want to see it.

I read a book named “Black mail”. It contained four different stories. Their names were “Blackmail”, “Psychic pets”, “The Green Woman’s Party”, and “An Exciting Holiday”. I had interested in “Psychic pets”, because I had a three dogs in my house.
There are two examples of psychic pets and this is true story.
One day, Janet Smith came back from school and she went to her bedroom. Then she noticed that her new dress was on the floor. She put her dress over her chair so she thought it was her dog’s handwork. Her dog’s name is Bertie. Bertie was walking with Janet’s brother so she waited their back. When they came back home, Bertie seemed not want to come in the house and he stayed in the garden all afternoon. Bertie came in the house only a few times. Janet said “Bertie knows! I’m angry with him because he made my dress dirty, and now he doesn’t want to come near me!”
I thought dogs are psychic animal because they sometimes understand situation naturally. Dogs are mysterious animal.

Fortunately, he got call from her because she noticed that there was not her card. They decided to meet again and went to café on Saturday. Mark thought Alex was beautiful at first, but she was a talkative person and he was tired of her talking. He thought he never want to listen to her again in his mind. On the contrary, she enjoyed this time and became to like him.
