  You see strange lights flashing in the night sky. You follow them to an open field away from everything. As you stand there staring at the lights, the form of a strange craft starts to take shape. Then a beam of bright light shines on you as it lowers itself to the ground. Pretty soon, the strange craft has landed in front of you with its door open, inviting you to enter. Do you accept, or do you run away in fear?
  For many, having an unidentified flying object, or UFO, picking you to travel the universe would be the thrill of a lifetime. However, for those people who claimed to have been kidnapped by aliens, it was a nightmare. UFOs have fascinated people for centuries. A vast number of sightings of flying saucers have been reported from every corner of the world. There are even theories that governments are trying to cover up the existence of aliens and UFOs. Now, a team of trained investigators is trying to find out the truth about flying saucers. Don't miss National Geographic Channel 's Chasing UFOs to get the answers.

 您看到夜空中有奇異的燈光閃爍著。您跟著這些燈光到一片遠離人煙的田野中。您站在那裡凝視著光線時,一個奇怪飛行器的輪廓開始漸漸清晰。當它朝著地面下降,一束光線射向您面前。不久後,這個奇怪的飛行器在您面前降落,對您敞開艙門、邀您入內。您會接受邀請,還是恐懼地跑開?
