Chasing UFOs 幽浮追追追
全民英檢102年(2013)施測日程表

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? 對許多人而言,被簡稱為幽浮的不明飛行物體選中去同遊宇宙,可說是個千載難逢的刺激體驗。然而對那些聲稱曾被外星人綁架的人來說,這卻是場不折不扣的惡夢。幾百年以來,人們一直對幽浮深感著迷。世界的各個角落都紛紛傳出大量的飛碟目擊事件。甚至還有一些理論指出各國政府試圖掩飾外星人和幽浮的存在。如今,有一群受過訓練的調查人員正力圖找出有關飛碟的真相。想得到解答,千萬別錯過國家地理頻道的《幽浮追追追》。
