1. THE WINCHESTER MYSTERY *
One night Mrs Joyce Boweles was driving her car from
Winchester to Chilcomb with a
friend of the family, Mr Ted Pratt.
Suddenly they saw an orange light in the sky. The car
started to shake and Mrs Bowels
couldn't control it. Some unknown power lifted it,
then pushed to the left, then stopped
the engine and switched off the lights.
"It was then that we saw a cigar-shaped object
about five yards long. There were three
figures inside," said Mrs Bowles. The three
figures were the crew of the UFO. Mrs
Bowles said that she had never been so frightened before.
At first, the alien crew looked like ordinary people.
They were wearing silver clothes.
Then an alien came out of the UFO. He was quite tall
and seemed to be about forty-five
and looked at the two frightened people inside. He had
clear, white skin and pink eyes.
Mrs Bowles was afraid that the alien would kill them,
but he only looked at the car's
instuments. Suddenly the lights switched on
automatically and they shone (were
shining) four times brighter than normal. Mrs Bowles
wanted to say "Thank you" but
before she opened her mouth the UFO and its crew had
already disappeared into the night.
