Boy missing, police puzzled
Police in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year –old boy who went missing two days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. People have shown great interest in his disappearance due to sightings of puzzling lights in the sky and reports of alien visits around the time of his disappearance. Justin Foster, a high school student, went missing last Friday night.
At first, Justin’s mother, who went to sleep early that evening because of a headache, thought that the teenager was spending the night with a friend. Mr. Foster, who was working that night, was surprised that his son did not tell anyone that he was staying out late. When Justin did not show up at the family lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police. However, police found that Justin did in fact return home on Friday night at about 11 p.m. That evening at 8 p.m, Justin left home to play baseball with two friends, who both say Justin walking towards his home at 10.45 p.m.
Justin’s sister, Kelly, says she heard her brother return home at about 11 p.m. ‘I was getting ready for bed,’ she said ‘Justin went straight to his room. I didn’t see him but I heard him put on his favourite CD. That’s when the lights came.’
According to Kelly, a bright light then appeared outside her window. At first, the young girl thought it was the light of the full moon but then she realized that it was moving and coming closer. ‘I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had multi-coloured lights all around it and there many windows. Standing inside were lots of white-skinned, strange-looking creatures with large black eyes. ‘I was frightened.’ Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brother’s bedroom. ‘I heard Justin since. I’m sure the aliens took him, but my parents said I was only dreaming.’
Some people in Dover also say that they have seen aliens. ‘It happened to me!’ said Mavis Wood. ‘The aliens took me away so that they could do research on me. Luckily, they returned me to my home. I think Justin was taken away by them too. They are interested in us. I still have nightmares about them. K hasn’t been sleeping well since I returned home. The whole experience was very frightening I even get frightened when I hear a plane fly over.’
Police have not ruled out the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, but are also looking into other possibilities. ‘Sometimes people make up such amazing stories,’ says Detective same Peterson, who has taken charge of the case. ‘So we’ve been looking at other possibilities too, such as murder. We will not give up until we find convincing.’

男孩失踪,警方迷惑
美国警方现已加紧对一名两天前在新罕布什尔州的多佛市失踪的15岁失踪男孩的搜索.公众对男孩的失踪表现出极大的兴趣,原因是有人声称看到天空中出现了让人迷惑不解的亮光,还有关于外星人造访地球的报道,而这一切都发生在男孩失踪前后.
贾斯汀·福斯特是个高中生,上周五晚上失踪.开始时,贾斯汀的母亲由于头痛那晚睡得比较早,她原以为这名青少年和朋友在一起过夜.那晚,在上班的福斯特先生为他儿子没有告诉任何人他将在外面呆得很晚而感到惊讶.直到第二天在家里吃午饭时,贾斯汀仍没露面,福斯特夫人担心起来,让她丈夫打电话给警方.然而,警方发现贾斯汀星期五晚上11点左右实际上回过家.那晚8点,贾斯汀离开家和两个朋友去打棒球,那两个朋友都说贾斯汀打完球后回家了.还有目击者称他们在晚上10:45分看见贾斯汀走向他家.
贾斯汀的妹妹,凯利说她听见哥哥11点左右回到家了.“我正准备睡觉,”她说,“贾斯汀直接走向他的房间.我并没看见他,但我听到他在放自己最喜爱的CD.就在那时亮光出现了.”
据凯利所说,那时有道明亮的光出现在她的窗外.开始时,这个小女孩以为这只是满月的亮光,但后来她发现光线是移动的,离她越来越近.“我向后拉开窗帘,看见一艘巨大的飞船在外面飞行.它的周围亮着多彩的灯,上面有许多窗户.里面站着的是许多白皮肤,怪模怪样的人,他们的眼睛又大又黑.我害怕极了.”凯利说然后那舰飞船在房子的旁边飞来飞去,飞向她哥哥的卧室.“我听见贾斯汀大叫,就在那时不明飞行物消失了.从那以后我就没见过贾斯汀.我相信是外星人带走了他,但父母说我只是在做梦.”
在多佛也有人说他们曾经见过外星人.“这样的事情在我身上发生过!”梅维斯·伍德说.“外星人为了对我做研究,劫持了我.幸运地是,他们吧我放回了家.我想贾斯汀也是被他们劫持了.他们对我们很感兴趣.我对他们依然有着噩梦般的感觉.自从我回家以后,我一直没睡好过.整个经历太可怕了.甚至听到飞机飞过的声音,我都觉得恐惧.”
警方还没有排除贾斯汀被外星人劫持的可能性,但同时也在调查其他的可能性.“有时候人们喜欢编造这类耸人听闻的故事.”负责此案的萨姆·彼得森侦探说,“所以我们也一直着眼于其他的可能性,比如谋杀.在找出有力的证据前,我们不会放弃.”
