THE UFOs

They cruise across our planet and hover over the inhabitants of the fearful earth. Unknown visitors!

Just appearing and disappearing like a flash of light, sometimes like the twinkling stars, they never wait to receive salutations from our inquisitive eyes.

Many say it's a flying saucer, some say it's a hyper meteorite and others say it's the craft of the Aliens from celestial realms.

Sometime ago, when it came cruising the atmosphere without

the expectation of the innocents, fears tore the hearts of men and they said

"Our planet has come to an end".

Scientists labour day and night to tell what they are, yet too many opinions remain.

Could they be visitors from another planet?

Are they really Aliens coming to spy the arrogant earth?

The Unidentified Flying Objects remain mysteries that leave questions on our minds.

Are they passersby on errands?

Are they spies or sparks of rocks from above?

Everyone is eager to know what you are, oh flying objects.

Let us know if you are from us or visitors from above.

Let us know if you are for us or against us.

Except we know you better, we still fear for the planet we live in.
