Introduction

The texts gathered here are the creations of students of different ages from our
school. They worked under the guidance of their teachers Mrs. Andrei Sorina
Monica and Mrs. Fanareanu Beatrice, teachers of English and being inspired
by flight and by all the activities on this topic which had been organized as part
of the Comenius partnership From Icarus to interplanetary travels. They either
invented these stories or retold real ones in their attempt to share something with
all their peers on the theme of the project.
The children from 5
th
, 9
th
and 12
th
grades were happy to take part in interesting
and challenging activities and to learn about flight, about the human desire to fly
and go beyond the human limits, about aliens and UFOs. They were inspired by
all the project activities organised in the 2 years of the project and therefore their
texts gathered here are fascinating and worth reading not only by children their
age, but also by adults.
The book contains 3 types of texts: stories about aliens and extraterrestrial
encounters with UFOs written by students from the 9
th
grade, stories about
unusual means of flight invented by students from the 5
th
grade and essays on
the human desire to fly created by students from the 12
th
grade.
The book is available at the school library and all the students, even those who
were not part of this project, have the opportunity to read these texts designed by
children themselves and to learn about this wonderful experience of working
together in a Comenius partnership.

Alien story

by Amuza Antonio Sabin

UFO sightings and alien encounters have been a part of humanity for thousands
of years and science fiction stories about aliens have been told all around the
world.
This story is about how aliens abducted a computer programmer in order to take
control of the Earth.
Mike, a computer programmer, spent every day of his life alone in his tiny
apartment. He worked from home and ordered food online, almost never leaving
his chair.
One night, a fire burst from nowhere forced him to leave the building. The light
was that powerful that he barely could see.
As soon as he stepped outside, he was abducted by aliens.
They took him to their aircraft where he was held captive in an exact duplicate
of his apartment in order to create programmes that would give them the power
to control the Earth.
The aliens had little knowledge of weapons, so instead they took control of the
Earths telecommunications networks in their attempt to make humanity too
bored to fight back.
Earth was left with nothing to watch and to play with.
Since that moment the humans have been communicating with each other via
letters and face to face and have no access to media, social networks, TV or
radio, it's like a return in the past.




An unexpected visit

by Carp Ionut Alexandru

May 2010. It was an ordinary evening, like the rest of the evenings in which I
was coming back home, tired, after long hours spent at school. Thoughts carried
me away and my steps were quickly getting me home.
At a given moment, the sky strongly brightened up and I had the sensation that
something looking like a spaceship landed on the roof of a tall building. Of
course I thought it was just the result of my imagination, sick of so much
banality that surrounded us and, ignoring the sensation, I continued my way
home.
Later, turned out that I was not wrong, given the fact that some odd noises were
soon heard from the direction in which I had seen an object landing.
Convinced by the idea that the evening was not going to be trivial, I decided to
walk towards that place, although I was a little bit frightened.
Although I initially refused to think that the object was an UFO (unidentified
flying object), as I was getting closer to the building, I was more and more
convinced that it was an alien visit.
I cannot describe in words what I felt when I had in front of my eyes such a
huge unseen spaceship.
I did not know what to do: to run and wait for the aliens to subdue the human
race or to stay and try to find out what their plans were, though the image of a
9
th
grader did not inspire me a lot of courage.
Before I decided what to do, I noticed how the trap of the ship opened and two
little green men with a heart-shaped head, large eyes and speaking an
imperceptible language were getting out. By the way, they were having a
conversation, I could tell they were pretty fiery and decided about what they had
to do.
I have finally discovered their plan and decided to run from that place. When I
got home, my mother greeted me with the news that some little green men had
appeared on television having said that they wanted to submit the planet
(deciphering the message was possible with the help of some device created by
scientists).
It seemed that the people from Earth were prepared to attack them because they
didnt have only one device to intercept their messages. Thus, before the aliens
began to destroy the Earth and kill people to populate it with their own
creatures, there had been a person who was able to unravel aliens plans.
That person was Doctor Who, an expert in aliens. It was the first time I heard
about this kind of specialist. Doctor Who suggested first to destroy the spaceship
the aliens had traveled with because their methods of attack were linked to it.
The problem was they did not know where the spaceship landed. And here my
part in the story began for real. I could not see myself as a hero, but I told my
mom that I knew where that spaceship was and she made all the necessary calls
for this to be found out by Doctor Who. The spaceship was soon found and
destroyed entirely with certain weapons, which I could also not believe they
existed in our world.
It seems that you cannot be all-knowing, but you can give a helping hand when
you are able to.
Our planet was in this way saved by Doctor Who and I was awarded and
publicly congratulated because I helped at the spaceship discovery saving the
planet. In addition, I received a free week from school. What (other) nicer prize
can you get when you are my age?
I hope next time I will be able to find a solution all by myself against aliens
invasion.








The UFO phenomena in Romania


by Radu Oana


What happened in September 23-25, 1978, not far from the cottage Balea Lake
casuistry UFO remains as one of the most terrifying III-meetings around the
world, as well as one of the rare cases in which people have been attacked by
unknown entities. The victims, about 20 soldiers in a nearby cottage of former
Balea Lake, were at the scene of the incident to perform some construction
works in the area. It all began on the night of September 23, around midnight,
when the cable car technicians in the area have been alarmed by the appearance
of a bizarre red light, spherical, which seemed to contain the whole visual field.
At the same time, the group of soldiers were at the cottage, and their leader Ioan
Dorr reported the presence of an entity, with a height estimated at about 2-2.5
feet tall, which was about 8 metres far from the cottage. Everything lasted about
5-10 minutes, then both the light and the entity disappeared without a trace.

The next evening, at about 9:45 p.m., sergeant Ioan Radu observed the same
entity, which appeared about 20 meters far from the cottage. Followed by two of
his colleagues, the sergeant came out to meet the 1-1.5 feet-suited creature,
which was compared by later witnesses with a cosmonaut with clunky
movements who was trying to hit him. The soldiers who were by sergeants side
said later that at that time the entity made a sound similar to that of an animal,
and Ioan Radu crashed to the ground losing his conscience. A few seconds later,
the entity disappeared in the night "performing lateral jumps as if it would be
floating on top of the Earth," if we believe the two statements of the soldiers. It
should be noted that the witnesses categorically denied the presence of a bear or
other wild animal.

Sergeant Ioan Radu recovered after about 10 minutes of resuscitation and did
not remember anything from the moment they had tried to attack the entity. But
events did not stop here. On the same night, the soldiers heard someone trying to
open the windows and shutters and scratching the walls and chains which they
were connected with. In the morning, soldiers noticed traces of deep scratches
on the walls of the cabin at a distance of 10 cm from each other, as if a giant
hand with four fingers would have tried to break the windows and shutters.
Terrified, the soldiers went to a cottage near the Waterfall Balea and didnt
return until 26 September, when they were accompanied by an armed officer.
Later, the witnesses said they had seen some traces on snow which were
different than those of the three soldiers. Their attempt to meet the entity again
had no visible result.

The case was investigated by the Romanian army and many UFO-logists came
to that place for parallel investigation, but without arriving to any result
concerning what had happened that night.




Meeting an alien

by Sandu Catalina

It was a summer day. I was at home only with my mom and we decided to
prepare a delicious blueberry cupcake. Since we didnt have blueberries in the
house, my mother sent me to the forest near our house to collect some to make
the cake.
In the forest, while I was walking on the path, from behind a tree an alien
jumped in front of me. I got scared and I started to scream. In that moment I
observed his reaction and I realized that he was very scared too. I came closer.
He was small and shaking. I talked to him saying my name Ana. What
surprised me most was when I heard him speaking. His name was Flopsy. He
was cute, small, very fluffy and pink and he had some very sweet and big eyes.
After I calmed down, he started telling me how he got here: he was in his UFO,
but he hadnt known how to drive it, so he had pressed a wrong red button and
he had been ejected from the UFO. Now he was alone and lost on our planet.
Hearing the story, I felt pity for him and I decided to become friends. He was
happy to have a friend on that strange planet and we both agreed to disguise him
through a spell into a baby because he could not walk like this among people,
with his strange appearance. Then I got home and I told my mother what had
happened in the forest and I begged her to let me bring him home. She finally
agreed. In the following days I went to school with him and nobody realized he
was an alien. At night, he slept in the yard the way he did on his planet, because
every evening he came back to its true appearance. We continued like this for a
while and I even started to care about him. But all my beautiful evenings and all
the follies that we did together were shattered on the night when the full moon,
because on that night the UFO appeared and Flopsys family came to take him
back. They thanked me for taking care of him, but they said he had to go home
to his family on their planet. I was very upset because Flopsy was leaving me,
but at the same time I was very happy as Flopsy found his family.
We remained friends and from time to time he comes with his UFO right above
my house and we meet and talk and spend time together. One night I got even
on his ship and visited his planet.





A strange dream


by Moise Andra Maria


I woke up. Nothing was like it used to be, it was strange, maybe even creepy.
My bed was in another world, a different world from the one which I came
from. Trying to move myself, I realized that my hands were bound of the bed's
border. I panicked, all kinds of questions began to appear in my head. Where I
am? I asked myself. What is happening to me? Why can't I move myself? I
didn't understand anything and nobody came to tell me what was happening and
why I was in this place. Everything around me was green and from the distance I
could hear squeaky voices. They were coming closer and closer. Thinking that I
could save me and come back home, I started to shout: Help! HELP! Is there
anybody who can help me? And unexpectedly, next to my bed, two little green
men appeared. They were talking very strangely, it seemed to be another
language, but for sure, they were talking about me.
I was scared to death, bound of bed and with 2 little green men, who seemed to
be aliens, beside me. My chances to escape were minim. After a few minutes of
talking, one of them came closer and said:
I hope you know why you are here.
I don't understand anything, I want to go home!
Are you scared?
Obviously, why am I here?
Ha ha ha! Look , everything is destroyed.
What do I have to do with this? Let me go!
You, you, stupid earthling, killed our queen, and after her death, our kingdom
was destroyed.
I didn't do anything, I want to go home! Those were my last words. After 2
hours, I woke up in a room full of aliens who devoted to me. Nothing could be
creepier, I was painted with a green colour and I had pointed ears. All of the
greens began to shout:
Long live the queen! Long live the queen!
Stop! I want to go home, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want my life
back. I shouted.
This will never happen, now you are our queen.
I'm not a queen, I'm a teenager.
You're a prisoner! You can't leave, now you are our queen and you will
transform.
No!
*ring-ring-ring* It was the alarm, I woke up and I looked around. I was in my
room and I was relieved to realize that I had had the strangest dream ever.










The story of my life

by Mihalache Daniela

Everything started with a simple curiosity
Since birth, I have grown up with a different concept of family than most people
do. Instead of growing up into my biological family, I was adopted. I have
known this for as long as I can remember because my parents made sure to tell
me so, at the earliest age that I could understand. By adopting me, my parents
showed that family means love, respect and sacrifice.
I dont know why, but I always asked myself why my biological family gave me
away, so I have started to search for them in secret. I believe that every adopted
child does that, but I didnt find anything, so I stopped looking for.
Now its summer and that means two months of summer holidays at grandpa
house. Its nice to spend time with him, hes my last grandparent alive. Each
day we discuss about different topics like love, friendship, forgiveness, success
and desires and I love it. I admired him all my life! I admire his conviction, his
principles, his dignity, well, I can say - everything.
One day my grandfather went fishing and took me with him.
It was a sunny day and everything was so beautiful!! But my grandpa was quiet
and it started to scare me a little. Anyway, after a time he spoke with me.
I know that youre searching for your biological parents and I want to tell you a
story, but if I do so, your life will change forever! There wont be a way of
turning back. he stopped. When I opened my mouth to speak he interrupted me
and said: Im your real grandfather and your real parents are dead.
And it was true: from that moment everything changed, including me. I didnt
want to listen anymore, I didnt even want to see him anymore, but he started
speaking again.
I know youre upset and confused but you need to believe me Im really sorry, I
wanted to protect you. Your parents worked for NASA. Your father was a great
astronaut and your mother a great doctor. Everything started when NASA sent a
team in space for scientific experiences. After 3 years, 2 agents came to my
house and told me that theyd lost the contact with them after one impact with
meteors, but I have never believed that, so I started to investigate, but the pain
turned me into an alcoholic, so I gave you in adoption with one condition: to let
me spend time with you.
Since then everything changed but I believed my grandfather and I made
everything I could to become like my father - an astronaut. I researched about
that case and I successfully managed to go on a mission with the same
destination.
After 2 months and 15 days in space, we found another planet. We never
thought that it was possible to find another populated Earth, but here it was!
Magical! A world of magic with people like us called FAIRY TALE and
numerous other races, including Exceeds, dragons, celestial spirits, and giant
beasts. A group of people made contact with us telling that earth-land is divided
into ten different countries: The Fiore Kingdom, Seven, Bosco, Iceberg,
Minstrel, Midi, Desierto, Joya, Bellum and the Pergrande Kingdom and they
were the leaders. One of them invited us to speak at dinner about our trip in the
outer space.
At dinner they told us that we couldnt leave their planet anymore and that wed
live like everybody else because the rest of the universe didnt ever know about
their planet. They also said that other human beings from our planet were there.
One of us tried to oppose saying that we couldnt survive there because we
didnt use magic.
In that moment one of them spoke: Magic is an ability occurring in every
individual for some races in Fairy Tale, although only 10% of Earth's population
uses this magic. There are two categories of magic: magic that allows a wizard
to use magic from their bodies and another magic that allows a user to cast
magic with items. So you can survive.
I couldnt speak! All my life I believed that aliens were green ugly creatures!!
But I remembered that they had told us about other people from Earth, so I said:
Tell me, tell me about the others!!
They leave a happy life at west of Berllum! I will show you!

The story of Zimbor

by Grigore Ana

Once there was a small pink alien who lived in the universe of children on
Kingera planet. He was a very cute alien because his head was round like a ball
and his elongated body looked like a cartoon ghost. His name was Zimbor and
he felt very lonely because he did not have brothers or sisters and his parents
had died in a war when he was as small as a button.
Zimbor had never seen cartoons, eaten sweets, played hide-and-seek, jumped the
rope. His planet was almost abandoned because of war and smoke was all over
the place. Zimbor's only entertainment was to rummage through boxes and play
with all sorts of curious objects he found there. One day he found an automatic
Tickling which still had batteries. He laughed so much that he was in tears and a
small spot of rust appeared under the eyes. So our alien discovered that his
parents had designed a curious suit which protected and helped him survive the
explosions of war.
In a store half destroyed Zimbor found a spinning machine. Some of its buttons
were melted, but our alien used a screwdriver and made the machine smoothly
rotating itself. He immediately sat in the seat, curious to see what would happen.
The machine started to throw out sparks and Zimbor spun with so much speed
that it was flying like a cannonball heading to a purple planet. The pink alien
landed in a pool full of colourful balls. When he opened his eyes he thought he
was dreaming. In front of him there were mountains of colourful animals, balls,
trains and all sorts of strange machines which Zimbor had never seen before. He
walked among the piles of toys, tested scooters, roller skates and motorcycles
with batteries.
Zimbor believed that the flight was so powerful that he arrived in Paradise. In an
office waiting for him there were Zimboros and Zimboriana, his parents, who
had been killed during that war. The three hugged tightly and Zimbor learned
that Paradise was actually on a planet called Earth and that children from there
had a very important job that could be done only with toys: they played all day
while their parents were using technology machines to manufacture them in
their houses. On Earth children needed toy stores so Zimbors parents used their
intelligence and built the most advanced toy store on Earth. Our alien was very
happy and he played in the new toy store all day long.
And he lived happily with his family.





Meeting an alien

by Davidoiu Alexandru

The night was cold, a thick fog hung outside, which I could see from my
window. In the moonlight, the fog appeared like clouds descending on the earth.
How I wished I could go out and be amongst the clouds, but here I was trying to
catch some sleep. My mother had just put me to bed wishing me sweet dreams,
but sleep was miles away from me.
I was laying in bed, bored, changing TV channels and trying to find something
to entertain with.
I found the movie Man in Black, in which Will Smith combines action with
comedy. When I became too tired, I closed TV and thought about what would
happen in the movie when suddenly I saw before me a strange-looking boy, with
two antennas like objects sticking out of his head over a hairy body. His owl-
like round eyes resembled the characters I had just seen from Mars. I screamed
in fright, but he said something in an alien language and gesticulated with his
hands, indicating that he meant no harm. I stared at him in disbelief, unable even
to scream.
Sensing that I was frightened, he gave me a translator to put on my ears that
would allow me to understand his language. I hesitatingly agreed and learnt that
indeed he had come from a far away planet. He wanted to take me to his friends
and show me his planet. I politely refused, telling him that I had my Maths
exams the very next day (and I informed him how much I loved it).
He talked about life on his planet, telling me that it was much bigger than
our planet Earth, having its own solar system. The creatures from there did not
eat, for they survived on noble gases that were in abundance.
Seeing that I was impressed, he continued to brag about the superiority of his
race. I got bored with it for quite some time. However, unable to take it any
longer, I politely requested him to let me sleep, for I had to wake up early
to attend school.
He did not react well. Snatching the translator from my hand, he pointed his gun
at me making weird sounds. When I saw that he was reacting violently, I started
screaming: Help, Help, this boy from outer space wants to kill me!! I suddenly
felt a splash of cold water on my face. Opening my eyes I saw my mother
peering down at me, Whats the matter son? she said. How relieved I was to
realise that it was all but a dream.
And this was my experience with aliens, even if it happened in my dream.




The aliens from the cave

by Ciobanu Bianca

An incredible story happened at the beginning of 1880, right next to the Spanish
town of Banjos. A group of locals, who were returning from working the fields,
found shelter from the heavy rain in a cave nearby. To the astonishment of all,
once in the cave, they found two strange children. The story says that these
children had green skin and were much shorter than average. They spoke a
strange language that no one heard. They uttered no words, but simply drew
some strange sounds. Their wild green skin was covered with a metal suit
protecting the whole body. The locals did not know what they were facing, but
they took the two little ones to their village to offer them food and shelter.
Because they were not accustomed to the food on Earth, the children did not
want to eat. The boy died a few days after he was found by villagers and the girl
finally tasted the food provided by humans and survived successfully. In just a
few months the girl began to learn speaking. Those two young aliens were from
a distant world, where there was no sun to shine over the planets. They lived in a
continual twilight, therefore they were fascinated by the extraordinary
conditions on Earth. The girl-alien said that while being in their world, the two
aliens had heard a very loud noise that had driven them into a sort of tunnel and
going through the tunnel with incredible speed, they found themselves in the
cave at its end.
A few years later, the girl-alien died too because it was almost impossible to
adjust herself to the living conditions from Spain 1880. The origin of the two
children remained a mystery till today, but this story will remain forever alive
and hallucinating.



Polovragi Cave our ancestors connection with the ancient aliens?

by Adrian Bacanu

On the shore of Oltet, in a pleasant dreamy landscape there is a cave looking like
a black eye watching at us the place where Zamolxis himself, the God-man so
loved by the Dacians, lived. Called Zamolxis Cave, the karst formations in the
mountains from Oltenia hide unsuspected secrets.
The name of the place has a particular resonance which gave rise to many
interpretations. It is of Geto-Dacian origin and contains a still not deciphered
cryptogram in itself referring to the religious beliefs and medical practices of our
ancestors. It is said that Dacian sorcerers and initiates who knew how to heal
illnesses gathered in that place. This may be related with the significant fact that
precisely in this place there was built the Polovragi Monastery with its
infirmary.
According to the legend, the holder of power - Zamolxis was able to change his
appearance at will from young to old. The supreme god of the Dacians entered
the depths of cave Polovragi to get over the mountains through direct secret
galleries to the ancient city of Sarmizegetusa, the capital of Dacia. When the
cave was explored for the first time about 100 years ago, people were amazed to
discover human footprints dating back 2,000 years, no doubt traces of Dacian
ancestors.
Dacian treasures hidden in Polovragi attracted lots of malevolent and greedy
adventurers throughout history. The permanent temptation to subdue cavern by
treasure hunters in search of the Dacian treasures makes the guides to find often
the metal gates broken at the entrance of the cave. "Tourists" with metal
detectors who remained without electricity got lost through galleries and never
came back! It is said that the curse of Zamolxis guards Dacian treasures hidden
here, and the place is not singular. All of them had tragic deaths in their reckless
attempts to disturb the peace of the place.
It is said that the curse of Zamolxis has been watching the place for thousands
years. Dozens of cases in history testify this: people tell stories about shepherds
who were missing sheep and cows, about cowboys who lost their eyesight after
seeing the forbidden place, about guests at weddings who saw disappearing
drink and food from their table and became ill moving from fear to madness.
Paranormal enthusiasts call this cave the "Bermuda Triangle of Oltenia". An
event worthy being noted is that Tudor Vladimirescu, a Romanian hero from the
19
th
century, usually went to pray around the Polovragi monastery walls. His
remaining signatures in the monastery says the unofficial version of the story:
that he wasnt killed by Etaireia, as the history books teach us, but that he
remained in the monastery to live disguised as a monk until the end of life, being
an initiate of the time.
Another legend says that stalactites and stalagmites from the cave are formed
from the tears that Zamolxes had shed after the Roman conquest of Dacia and
they are still falling. This legend starts from the fact that on the plateau over the
cave there was found a Dacian fortress. Legend says that there is a curse that
prevents the treasure seekers to advance within the cave.
It is also said that sometimes lights can be seen in the cave as if it is on fire, but
when people get there cannot find anything burnt. The main hall of the cave is
impressive due to its vault and the red colour of the walls. Another curiosity is
the leopard skin on the walls. These formations are unique because they can be
found only in this cave.
Zamolxis Cave (which is believed to break through the mountains to
Transylvania) is recorded in the nineteenth century literature by travel writers,
such as Grigore Alexandrescu (1842) and Alexandru Vlahuta (1901) who said
that the place feels the visitors and rejects some of them. Above the cave there
are the ruins of the old fortress Arcinna, marked by Ptolemy on his map, the
famous geographer of Antiquity, the connection between the cave and the city of
Arcinna being done through a secret gallery.
Local legends say that prehistoric Jews lived in the area, the giants from the
Bible, who stood with one foot on a mountain and the other on another mountain
and washed their faces in the Oltet river. There is a place located up on the
mountains above the cave and called "Jew cattle market" comparable to the
"Table of Jews" from the Sebes Mountains. Here it is believed that prehistoric
people came and grazed their sheep.
Some "dolmens" were identified here forming "a prehistoric necropolis" and
their graphic reconstruction showed the shape of "Polovragi Obelisk" -
considered one of the prehistoric monuments of Dacia in connection to the other
obelisks and pyramids in the world and the ancient aliens.



Aliens airport from Romania

by Coman Raluca

The area Coli is already famous for its stories related to the paranormal activity
and alien spacecraft. In the oral tradition of the area there is at least some
shocking information that confirm the existence of a true outdoor museum of the
ancient astronauts. On the top of a hill in the village Bozioru, there are
extremely strange rock formations composed of round stones looking like
UFOs. Locals and early geographers were shocked when they first saw the rocks
from Ulmet, which strikingly resemble Babele from the Bucegi Mountains.
Many legends from Bozioru speak about an old population of giants that were
actually aliens and even about mysterious disappearances, and Ulmet-Bozioru is
considered to be an airfield for UFOs, an argument for this is also the ridge
behind the village which has strange shapes resembling petrified UFOs.
Alien stories appeared in the '80's after the mysterious disappearance of
strangers who were enveloped in a bluish mist. People think that foreigners were
punished after they dared to set foot in the mysterious lands of Bozioru.
Maybe the most famous UFO researcher from Buzau is Doru Davidovici, a
fighter pilot and a supporter of ancient astronauts and UFO's. He treated in his
book Galactic Worlds a number of theories on the existence and implications
of extraterrestrial civilizations in the terrestrial world. Doru Davidovici observed
with his own eyes the complicated evolution of a UFO on the sky somewhere in
the south of Bucharest, observation confirmed also by radar stations in the area.



Electricians and bright field

by Carstea Mihnea

On the evening of November 10, 2001, a team of electricians were going home
by taxi after working for hours to repair something at a broadcasting station in
Amursk region. As they were approaching the town Anosovski, the leader of the
team showed his colleagues a very bright object which suddenly appeared on the
sky. The cab driver braked sharply because a shiny object like a fireball was
rolling towards the car. The light was extremely shiny as a welding flame. The
fireball approached the car and remained at 100 meters above the ground. It
stood motionless for a few seconds then scattered into a lot of sparks into the air.
Meanwhile in the city Anosovski electricity was interrupted for a few seconds.
At that moment an artificial cold and dazzling light flooded the city. What
happened?
It couldnt have been a meteorite, first because a meteorite could not be so
bright and secondly it couldnt disappear suddenly and without any noise. And if
the meteor had fallen, rest assured that they would have felt the ground shaking!
However, the luminous sphere dissipated silently in the air. Could it be snow
tonight? A comet that turned into a block of ice wouldnt be gone so suddenly.
What kind of energy must have had that mysterious object not only to illuminate
an entire city, but also several hundred kilometres around it?
In this case there is only one possible answer: above the town Anosovski in
Amursk region a UFO appeared from nowhere.



Aliens and spaceship


by Constantin Elena Mihaela


Stories about aliens are as old as mankind and each country and region has
evidence of their existence.
In 1950 the most famous alien story is confirmed by FBI in the USA. A strange
memo proved that aliens landed in New Mexico before 1950.
U.S Intelligence service has released thousands of documents about aliens and
these stories expanded until today. Many people believe that aliens visit our
planet repeatedly and are convinced that they have been abducted and taken by
these aliens on their aircrafts and to their planets.
While their testimonies vary, the only thing in common is the belief that the
experience with the aliens has a strong impact on their lives.
The story of Betty and Barney Hills started the craze about alien abduction.
Under regressive hypnosis, which is the usual technique for discovering the truth
on abduction, the scientists have researched a lot the lack of memories that
followed after the couple Hills had spotted a UFO in September 1961.
After being kidnapped and taken on a spaceship in the form of a disc, Betty Bills
said they had received a ,,star map'' with marked commercial routes which
included even our own sun.
Some UFO experts believe that this is the info which certainly shows that the
aliens home planet is in Zeta Reticuli system.
But the stories do not end here. In 1996 in Russia a still alive creature was found
that scientists considered it to be an alien, but the priests claimed that it was a
demon. When the old woman found the creature, it was first considered a joke.
Then it rocked the medical world saying that a gene discovered in its DNA
samples did not correspond to any people on Earth.
Tamara Prosvirina, the old women who found it, gave the creature a name:
Aliosenka. It did not hurt anybody but after his death strange things happened.
The old woman died in a trivial crash. Mark Mikhiker, an academician who had
done some research in the area, died shortly after he came back to Moscow and
the alien body disappeared without a trace.
This creature had humanoid features and measured twenty two inches.
The old woman took it home convinced that God send it as their own child.
She kept it swaddled as a newborn. According to witnesses, Aliosenka didnt
have balls or navel. The head looked like a cap and it was composed of four
plates tapering to the top. It had huge eyes that never closed without pupil and
iris and a small opening as a mouth with two teeth that definitely were not
designed to receive solid food. Therefore the Tamaras food was nothing than
milk sweetened with honey and tea. Its body was white and the joints had a
different structure which made the arms and legs more flexible that those of
humans.
The local doctor Stanislow Samoskin performed a medical examination to detect
the origin of the creature, but in the end he said it was neither of human nor of
animal origin.
In fact this was the first time the term ,,alien'' was used and the story was
supported by lots of witnesses.
Several photos and a film series were made about this creature and the doctor
has collected and preserved a sample of tissue from the alien being. While the
investigation was ongoing, the body disappeared absolutely without a trace in
strange circumstances.
The doctor said that the body was taken of researchers who were sent by
Moscow to lift the mummy alien but those researchers apparently did not exist.








Dream or reality?

by Stanila Andra


One night a girl was driving home from her holiday in Romania.

On her way back home, she saw a light. Then she stopped the car and got out,
driven by curiosity to find out what was happening. She realised that she was
looking at a UFO. First she was very scared, but she wanted to see what
creatures were inside. Those entities had two long antennas they used to transmit
information. I got inside the UFO. Suddenly a green creature with long legs and
a big head came next to her. The girl started to ask questions with a trembling
voice because she was very scared.

The creature wanted to touch her, but she began to scream. In that moment she
woke up and realised that it was just a bad dream. She went immediately to her
parents and told them about her strange experience. Coming back to her room,
she saw through the window a bright light, which was a sign that it had not been
a simple dream.



What are UFOs?
by Barbu Raluca

The term UFO means Unidentified Flying Object and it is associated with the
existence of aliens.
What are these aliens and where do they come from?
In my opinion, these so-called aliens are creatures who seek something.
Primarily, whether they come from other planets or not, some UFOs are
definitely flying objects seen all over the Earth, which didnt get an explanation
yet.
Secondly, the UFOs are not solid, but light and they can be created on Earth too.
On one side, the existence of life forms that visit us is exciting.
On the other hand, the idea is uncertain. Anyway enthusiasts continue to study
past and present events.
In conclusion, whatever the truth is, UFOs continue to fascinate us until the
mystery will be discovered.



The alien world


by Marinescu Mihaela


Did you know that some aliens may be friendly?

It was a beautiful spring day. I felt bored and I needed a ride, so I went out to
walk. After I reached a secluded place, in front of me a different creature
appeared. It was an alien. At first I was terribly scared and wanted to run, but
that alien told me not to be afraid. We became friends and then he took me to his
ship.

He told me a lot about his friends who wanted to destroy the planet. After I
found out their plans, I got scared again, but then I realized he was not as bad as
the others.

Then he told me that his friends wanted to come on Earth to find out as many
things as they could about the human beings. They looked pretty much like the
Earthlings, except that they had a very good hearing, advanced intelligence and
they were faster than us. After he told me about them, I wanted to take him to a
wonderful place to see how beautiful the Earth was. I started to get accustomed
to him, and we acted as if we were good friends.

He saw how beautiful our planet was and said that he would talk to his friends
not to destroy the Earth. He said that he had to go home and that he felt a bit sad
because he had a great time with me.
We remained friends and he promised that hed visit me again.




Alien life

by Aldea Alexandra Elissa

Alien life is currently based only on the assumption that the universe and life
could exist where natural environment is not Earth. This concept refers to any
type or life form, from the simplest biological systems to the most complex ones
with their own intelligence and social organization.
Doctors and psychologists have studied as many cases as they could, testing
subjects to provide a scientific explanation of the phenomenon from a bold
premise: that meetings with aliens did not exist in reality but they are products
of imagination of some people. But what can make people imagine something
and retell such things in great detail? Sleep paralysis and various psychiatric
disorders (paranoid tendency) were identified in many of the studies and other
medical explanations have been proposed, partly supported by some violent
behaviour, but rejected regardless of the specific psychology of those who
reported experiences of this kind. What has always intrigued the researchers
skeptical of these phenomena was that a large number of these stories have some
common elements. Is it possible that the same alien race to have been the author
of kidnappings that occurred over a half century, with almost the same pattern?
Or is it possible an explanation in positivist spirit: that people imagine the same
things due to some common features of the human psyche which predispose to
the same kind of imaginary journeys? It's a fascinating hypothesis, an interesting
field of investigation for psychologists. Could there be the "first cause" common
to all people - something that has to do with the family in which they were
raised or the school they attended or their experiences in life? Well, there is
something common to all of us: the intrauterine life, ending with the birth, the
transition to a different life. All people in this world have spent the first months
of existence in the womb. And after a few months of life in the womb, all the
people have left it to meet the outside world and this meeting is not smooth:
psychologists talk about "birth trauma", the fact that going out of the uterus and
entering the outer world from the mother's body can be a brutal experience for
newborn babies, which can leave deep consequences to those having a fragile
psyche. People dont remember consciously the birth and the trauma associated
with it, but that does not mean it leaves no traces in our psyche. This idea made
the scientist Alvin Lawson develop his amazing theory on so-called abductions:
the stories were based on our own memories of the womb and its painful end
the birth trauma. It's a controversial but fascinating theory: a true descent into
the abyss, a journey into the deepest mysteries of the mind, where we keep
without knowing the memories of our life before getting in this world. In most
histories of kidnappings, subjects described "entities" present (alleged aliens) as
having humanoid appearance, with a large head, large eyes etc. very similar, in
the opinion of the author, with the appearance of a human embryo of about 2
months old. He assumes that the embryo, then the human fetus might have a
perception of their own body, a "self-image" even in intrauterine life, and this
memory is reflected in how adults describe their later experience as
"kidnapping". A common theme often present is "a tunnel" through which the
kidnapped reach the ship above them - sometimes described as a tunnel of light,
suggesting that the fetus must traverse it to get out of the mother's body. Another
interpretation depends on how they recount experiences: some subjects say that
they were captured and attracted by a light beam to the alien ship, caught and
swept inside. This could be an analogy with the umbilical cord, the way the fetus
is related to the placenta the same way through that tunnel or beam of light it
establishes a connection between the subject and the alien world. Going through
the tunnel to the alien ship, subjects reach a large space lit with flashing lights
which are sometimes surrounded by several humanoid beings looking at them
and examining their body. Many describe invasive procedure through the
umbilicus or at least a feeling of pain or pressure in the belly. Alvin Lawson
identifies here an obvious correlation with the stage in which the infant out of
the mother's body gets into the delivery room, brightly lit, where medical staff
handle it and examine its body. Eventually, the umbilical cord is caught in
forceps and cut - perhaps an unpleasant experience both physically and
mentally, even if we dont remember afterwards. A number of interviewees
remember metallic sounds very likely in a delivery room, where most of the
children come into this world.
What remains a mystery - even the author of the theory admits - is that we do
not know why some people relive the birth trauma as an alien abduction. How
these images are formed in the fetal brain during fetal life and birth, how they
are revived during hypnosis, under the influence of drugs or spontaneous
awakening during sleep all these are questions still waiting for their answers to
be discovered.
In conclusion, the "alien abduction" is regarded by Professor Lawson as a
subjective experience, with deep roots in psychology and culture. So-called
people abducted by aliens unconsciously use their own experience from the birth
process as the matrix for their so-called imaginary abduction experience.



Journal of an alien

by Alexandra Zanfir

After the first human adventure, we chose to land in an unpopulated area from
Europe.
I walked away from the ship and started to look carefully at the environment.
When I returned to the ship we have not found it. I should mention that I had
some misunderstandings and a small scuffle with lasers because of a colleague
of mine who always look where the ship was parked. For now I have the job of
parking the ship. After the fight, I found the ancient ship with GPS system -
luckily that I got it with us in case we would have needed it. Our ship was in the
midst of nomadic horse-drawn cart and the nomads were trying to dismantle it.
When they saw us, they took the carts and began to fight us. I do not know what
they were looking for, but have not found and were upset. They screamed at
each other and then took sharp metal weapons and cut us to pieces. When they
saw that our limbs were growing back, they rejoiced and began to cut us
frantically, repeating the word "sell". When I saw that they did not give up, we
boarded the ship and flew from there. Unfortunately we had to return to bring a
female of their race who we had brought to our ship earlier. Amazingly, their
females had the ability to swallow everything: in five minutes, strongly coloured
female managed to swallow three quarters of ship equipment and tripled the
volume of the lower part of her body.
Out of caution, I landed from a height, but nothing happened.



Meeting the Earthlings

by Alexe Andreea


Today I forced the landing in a forest on a continent called Europe inhabited by
Earthlings. While the rest of the group tried to repair the ship, I went out in
search of life forms. We hoped for them to be evolved enough that we purchased
from them food and fuel.
I found some humanoids who lived under pieces of rock, were wrapped in wild
animals skins and gathered some wood pieces to warm themselves. The intellect
of these beings is compared to that of an embryo of us, but being forced by
circumstances, I stayed with them that night. After it got dark, earthlings lit the
fire and brought fried fruits and animals. They said this was their food. We were
not sure if our digestive system could handle something so primitive, but we
were forced to eat it: we were stuffed full of pork neck, legs and sheep. Then we
sank ends in barrels with a red liquid. They were happy to gain weight, but I just
shot from the high amount of "food" and "drink". Standing around the fire,
hominids began to behave strangely: they moved in all limbs, in a disorganized
way. One of them got "drunk" and started to hit me in the head. He seemed to
enjoy my scream because others laughed and they followed suit. A baby
humanoid took a piece of iron and cut my leg. Seeing that my member grew
back, they got upset. We had to run. We hid in the river, and after the brutal
beings fell asleep, we returned to our ship, we fixed it in a hurry and we left
never to come back.
Breathing like an alien
by Toma Florin

One evening I was walking in the park with my parents and my little brother.
Suddenly my dad told me to go home and take the dog for a walk and my mom
said my brother should come with me. They added they would wait for us in the
city centre.
When we arrived in front of my flat, I sent my brother upstairs to fetch the dog
and I remained outside waiting for him. The time was passing, but my brother
didnt appear with the dog, so I imagined something bad had happened. I rushed
upstairs and I found my brother trying to put the leash around the dogs neck.
Puffy, our dog, was very agitated and it didnt want to get out under the bed, no
matter how much my brother was trying to convince it.
Puffy was usually calm and friendly, but now something bad was happening. I
finally managed to catch the dog and my brother and I left the flat. While
descending the stairs, we suddenly heard our neighbour screaming: Aliens,
aliens come here, its the end of the world!", but everyone knew how crazy Mrs.
Bulbuci was because of her old age, so we didnt pay too much attention to her
words. My brother and I started to laugh at her while walking to the city centre
where we were supposed to meet our parents. When we got there, our parents
were also upset because of our belated arrival, but finally we had a good time in
family.
While we were walking home, actually right in front of our flat, there was an
earthquake and we got terribly scared. It lasted for 12 seconds and many people
got out of their houses screaming and shouting. One minute later, the sky made a
flame and some yellow dots started to appear on the sky just like stars at the
beginning, then increasing their dimension while getting closer. My brother
started crying, the dog ran away and car alarms were howling terribly. I had the
feeling that the end of the world was coming. All people were looking at the sky
and in an instant everybody understood that those growing yellow dots were
UFOs, alien spacecrafts which were trying to come dangerously close to the
surface of Earth. My father thought it was a dream and he slapped his own face
in the attempt to wake himself up.
People got scared and tried to run away, but at some point the electromagnetic
waves sent by the UFOs made them unable to walk or run, so nobody moved,
just looked in terror at what was happening. From every spacecraft, many aliens
got out and came down to Earth. They were scary with their creepy faces and
thin bodies and the arms and legs were covered with a green sticky substance.
Their smell was awful too. All of them were wearing some masks and tubes on
the back - for breathing obviously. Suddenly they removed the masks and tried
to breathe the oxygen from Earth, but after some endless moments they put their
masks back and shouted in a desperate way that the air from Earth was not good
for them. When all aliens put the masks back, they returned to their spacecrafts
and in just a few minutes they disappeared from our sight, as if they had never
been here before.
We were able to move again and to talk to each other about the encounter we
had just witnessed. Our conclusion was that the aliens had been looking for a
planet with breathable air for their species, but our air was not good for them.
We were relieved to understand this and from that moment we decided to take
good care of our planet.


Extraterrestrials

by Ionita Diana

It was a beautiful summer morning. Sarah had just woken up and she was
enjoying the heat and warmth flowing in the air. Suddenly she heard a strange
noise from the garden. As she was heading towards that place, she saw an odd
means of transport. It looked like a spaceship. Just when she got close, it
exploded and in front of her eyes there was a small green creature which
introduced itself. He said that he was coming from a far away planet and that he
and his brothers were trying to repair their spacecraft to get home, but
unfortunately they couldnt. Having heard the aliens words, Sarah called her
friends and together they fixed the spaceship. The little creature then flew back
to his planet, waving happily his antenna and hands towards his friends.

Magic Christmas
by Tewes Eric

It was a beautiful winter day.
Alex was a very intelligent boy with a great heart. His only wish for Christmas
was to spend some time with his mother who had been working abroad for a
long time. He missed her a lot because living away from his mother was very
painful. He could communicate with her only using the computer.
Three days before Christmas he realized that he was fed up with his life without
his mother, so he decided to make something great combining the magic and joy
of Christmas with the new technology and his intelligence. Therefore he built 2
rockets with jet engines in his yard and he attached them to his Christmas tree.
Moreover, he added a comfortable pillow to sit on during the journey and some
reserves of food.
He kissed his father goodbye, then he got in the new built means of transport
and took off immediately in order to go to America, the place where his mother
had been working for so long.
First he flew past my house with his special Christmas tree with jet engines and
he waved goodbye to me as well, saying that he was going to his mother from
America. I was amazed to see what interesting means of transport he invented!
He continued his journey and on Christmas Eve he arrived in America where he
met his mother. They were very happy to see each other and they felt the
Christmas joy and happiness for real.
This was the story of a child who loved his mother so much, that he invented a
new means of transport to travel to a distant continent in order to spend an
unforgettable Christmas with her.








The Flying Sled
by Enache Alexia

Holidays, especially the winter ones, are a delight for the two cousins Alina and
Bogdan. They decided that after the Christmas spent with their parents to make a
surprise to their grandparents.
They live in a small, welcoming house, that is now covered with the white,
puffy snow.
The whole village is covered in the sparkling snow.
Immediately after they arrived, the grandfather took them to a big, red sled that
he prepared especially for his grandsons. The children were delighted by the
sled given as a present by their grandparents, especially because from the
toboggan run they could hear the happy calling of other children.
`Bogdan, lets put wings to the sled! Well go down with such a speed, that the
wings will help us to fly above the snow!`
The grandfather told them to look in his tool house for the necessary stuff for
their plan. They found two wooden boards that they cut in the shape of two
wings and, with the help of their grandfather, they put them on the sled.
Alina and Bogdan, with rosy cheeks and being watched by the other children,
embarked on the flying sled. It seemed that even the snowflakes stopped to see
that amazing sled.
`Were flying! Its a dream come true!`, said Bogdan.
The whole air filled with the abyssal joy of the children. That was how the two
children got their wish that they dreamed about for all their lives. One thing is
certain: surely, well always find something fascinating at our grandparents!








My Dream
by Ghencea Alexandra

One hot summer day I went to my father to see what he was doing.
Hi, dad! What are you doing?
Hi! Ive tried to fix our car but it does not work anymore!
Oh...
I went into the living room to watch TV. There was a documentary about
Holland. While watching I was wondering what I can do to go to Holland.
Suddenly, I had an idea. I went to my fathers garage. I took the old cars engine
and some tools and I tried to fix it onto the couch.
I also made a remote controller in order to start the engine and I waited for
my parents to go shopping.
As soon as they left, I took a map and I sat on the couch and started flying.
I was hoping to get to Holland and that was exactly what happened.
I am here! I told to myself.
I stepped down and went to a fun fair. After I had visited the wax museum,
I strolled on the streets, among the scented flowers.
It was so beautiful.......that I could hardly leave, but it was late, so I had to
go home.
After a long, tiring trip I got home right before my parents.
It was such a pleasant, beautiful experience that I would always repeat.













The Fulfilled Wish
by Draghici Andrei

An elf found a baby quail with one broken wing. The baby was looking,
with its eyes full of tears, for its mother and siblings that had already flown to
warm countries, because it could not do that anymore. Then, in the elfs heart
appeared the desire to help the wounded baby get to its family.
The elf built a flying object to stay with the quail baby. The elf wattled
a nest and tied some sails with rope. In this way they flew over seas, oceans,
cities and saw wheat fields sprinkled with red poppy, fields full of flowers and
mountains with fir-tree woods.
You could see joy and hope in the eyes of the quail baby.
They got off near a spring and they quenched their thirst, and the elf
picked wheat seeds for the baby and fruits for himself, then they continued
flying, delighted by the wonderful sights.
After a few days, they got to warm countries and they found out from
the dovetails where the babys mother was.
The elf took the baby to its family and this was a wonderful surprise.
Seeing them so happy, the elf was satisfied that he fulfilled his wish and that this
was a good deed.





















Biancas Wish
by Grillo Alexandra
This story is about Bianca, a 9 years old, little girl. She lives with her parents in
a nice home, in a small town from a beautiful country with high mountains, vast
plains bathed by the waters of the sea. Bianca loved the stories told by her
grandmother, especially the tales with fairies. She thought that the fairies were
magical creatures that helped people while they were sleeping, when the people
wanted to do good things but they couldnt do it by their own.
The little girl wished so hard for the fairies to exist. One day, when she was at
her grandmothers and she was playing she decided to go to the attic and look
for toys among the old stuff. While she was looking through the things: old
boxes with toys, old furniture and all kinds of other things, she suddenly saw, in
one corner, a brightly coloured carpet that she didnt notice before. Bianca took
the carpet; she put it on the floor and told it to lift up. Unbelievable! The carpet
really lifted up because it was a magic carpet that could take her anywhere she
wanted. Bianca really wanted to go to the Fairies Land. The magic carpet took
her there as fast as lightning. Bianca saw from above a wonderful country.
Silver mountain tops, forests as green as emerald, plains with perfumed flowers
and enchanting lakes and rivers.
The magic carpet left her in front of a castle that only in fairy tales she could
imagine they existed. It was wonderful! It had lots of towers and gardens full of
flowers unseen before.
Bianca went down the castles stairs. There, she was expected by many fairies,
and the most beautiful among them told Bianca:
`Welcome to our country, Bianca! We saw the magic carpet flying and we
thought that a guest is coming from far, far away. We are happy that you came
and you believed in us! `
`Thank you! I am so glad to meet you, to be here. My wish came true!`
`I am Alysia, the queen of fairies`
`You can visit our castle and country! You can come to us any time you want!`
`I am so happy that I can visit your beautiful country!`
And, that was how Biancas wish came true and now she has a lot of friends.






An Unusual Flight
by Vintila Adina

Since I was a child, I wished I had a house in Paris, right next to Eiffel
Tower. I was wondering How am I to get to Paris?. An idea came to my mind:
<<my grandparents have a windmill they do not use anymore, so I am going to
use it>>. I decorated it as I wanted. And I also remembered that my father had
been in Paris to work with his plane.
But I needed help to make my idea work. I asked my friend, Maria, to help
me and she said:
You have such a crazy idea! How did you come up with the idea of flying
with the windmill?. I told her:
Well... you know that the helicopters have a propeller and in the same way
the windmill has this wheal that looks like a propeller!
But do you realize how much it will take to build your idea?, Maria asked
me.
You know....I started building long time ago! If you are not interested I am
going to find somebody else to help me!, I answered her without taking into
account her thought.
Now, I was thinking Whom shall I take in this trip? . I went to my
best friend, Carmen. She told me:
Oh, I really do not know what to say....I think that I may join you in this
crazy trip.
How wonderful! Come by my house and Ill show you the place where we
have to continue our <helicopter>!, I told her excited.
Carmen was amazed by what I had done.
It took us a lot, but we managed to finish it!
We were very glad that it had worked.
My dream came true! I flew by Eiffel Tower with the windmill with my
friend!








A Dream Fulfilled
by Suciu Teodor

Soft snow flakes were falling slowly in the silence of the night. Nothing seemed
to trouble the beauty of Christmas Eves night.
In the warmth of the room, the Christmas tree was sparkling gently, waiting for
the presents. I was waiting for them, too! I was even more impatient than it
was...But, even though I tried to keep my eyes wide open as hard as I could,
they closed slowly, slowly...In my dream, Santa, with his white beard and
sparkly blue eyes, shining of happiness, invited me for a walk.
`Are we going by the sled, Santa?`
`No, its a surprise!`
I got out of my bed and I went away wearing only my pyjamas. In front of my
home there was the most beautiful steam train. It was red, new and anxious to
pull the three green wagons.
`Where are we going?` I asked being surprised.
`We are taking a walk!` answered Santa putting his hand on the horn. `All
aboard!`
I jumped in and I sat near the window. The train flew straight through the puffy
clouds up to the blue sky that looked just as a velvet curtain with diamonds on it.
The thick clouds couldnt let me see much, but my attention was suddenly
drawn by a bright, shining star.
`Whats that?`
`Its the Christmas Star. It appears every year and I take it and place it upon the
Christmas tree form the North Pole. This year I want you to put it on the top.`
I reached for the star and I got it. Even though it was big, it wasnt heavy and it
was covered in gold.
Santa pulled the train near the biggest tree Id ever seen. Its top pierced the
clouds. After I put the star on the top of the tree, Santa patted me on the
shoulder.
`Well done!`
I wanted to say something but the pat on my shoulder was so strong that it
changed into a shake. It was my mother.
`Come on, wake up, Santa came with presents!`
I ran to the Christmas tree and there was the most beautiful train in the world,
with a red engine and green wagons.
