“it wasn’t the moon,” was the reply.
they watched the light and saw that it was moving. it seemed to be an object rather like a big plate. in some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it, but it wasn’t smoke because it didn’t change its shape. it was moving in a regular way. that is to say, it didn’t go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didn’t go higher or lower. so the two men decided that there must be men in it.
after that, burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him. he was being watched in the darkness.
when it was nearer, they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top. the bottom was yellow and the top red. then the object suddenly turned away and left libya, moving very fast.
on a later day burdens talked to other people about it, and he found some who had seen it. they all described it in the same way. could they all be mistaken?

giant leap for china
a few days ago, he was just colonel (上校) yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. but last thursday,when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space,yang liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words: "china’s first spaceman".
the 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. last wednesday by china’s shenzhou v spacecraft,which went around the earth 14 times. he landed safely at 6:23 a.m. the next day, making china the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former soviet union and the us.
yang was satisfied with his job. "i have seen many landing scenes before on video,and i think ours was one of the most successful," he said on a special plane to beijing after landing. born into an ordinary family in liaoning province,he became a pilot in the chinese air force in 1987,spending 1,350 hours in the air. he joined the chinese space programme 11 years later. while in space, yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing china’s national flag and the united nations' flag to the people watching on tv at home. he also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice,before taking a 3-hour nap. the whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
