| |Activity 1: Read through the article very quickly. (Skimming)Now copy and answer each of the following questions in your NOTEBOO. |

| |You will turn these in to the teacher in CLASSROOM. |

| |The History of UFOs. |

| |Unidentified Flying Object (or “UFO”) is a term commonly used to describe lights or shapes in the sky. It was first coined by the |

| |United States Air Force in 1952 to describe sightings of mysterious objects in the sky that could not be explained even after careful|

| |investigation. Nowadays UFOs are spotted frequently, and feature in numerous movies and TV shows. Another popular name for such an |

| |object is, “Flying Saucer,” in reference to the round shape of many UFOs. |

| |The first widely publicized UFO sighting was in 1947, by a pilot called Kenneth Arnold. Following this event, public sightings of |

|Skimming and Scanning |UFOs increased dramatically. Movies and TV shows began featuring visitors from outer space, arriving on earth in flying saucers. With|

| |the popularity of these images, many people claimed to have seen lights in the sky. Some experts believe that people simply think |

| |they see UFOs because of the influence of TV and movies. |

| |However, experts estimate that as little as 5% of these sightings could be called “unidentified.” Usually these lights are made by |

| |aircraft, satellites, or weather balloons. Top secret air force activities during the Cold War may have been responsible for many of |

| |the UFO sightings in America and Europe. Although not actually aliens, the secretive nature of these flying objects is definitely |

| |unidentified. |

| | |

| |Another popular idea concerning UFOs concerns the role of world governments. Specifically, people believe that the US government has |

| |discovered alien life and operates a “cover-up” to hide the truth from the public. The most widely believed cover-up is that of the |

| |Roswell Incident. In July, 1947, a UFO supposedly landed in Roswell, New Mexico, and was examined and hidden by government agents. |

| |There have been many investigations into the Roswell Incident, however, these reports always claim that no such event occurred. |

| |What is the purpose of this report? |

| |a) To describe the history of alien life. |

| |b) To describe government cover-ups. |

| |c) To describe the history of UFO sightings. |

| |d) To describe UFOs in popular movies. |

| |  |

| |2. Why are UFO sightings so controversial? |

| |a) They have never been proved. |

| |b) There are many sightings. |

| |c) The government covers up sightings. |

| |d) There are very few UFO sightings. |

| | |

| |Activity 2: Now re-read the text carefully (slowly)(Scanning). Now write and answer each of the following questions in the form of a |

| |sentence in your notebook. |

| |What would the world do if it knew a UFO would arrive on Earth in the middle of next month? |
