boy missing,police puzzled

男孩失踪，警方茫然美国警方现已加紧对一名l5岁男孩的搜索，该男孩于三天前在新罕布什尔州的多佛市失踪。

该事件引起了公众的极大兴趣，原因是有各种关于男孩失踪前后天空中出现奇怪光亮和外星人造访地球的新闻报道。

人们最后一次看见中学生贾斯廷•福斯特是在星期五晚上。

当晓8点，贾斯廷和两个朋友到外面打棒球，这两个朋友都说贾斯廷打完球就回家了。

目击者也说晚上10点45分他们看到贾斯廷朝家走去。

贾斯廷的妹妹，九岁的凯莉说大约1 l点她听到哥哥回到家中。

“我正准备上床睡觉，”凯莉说，“贾斯廷径直去自己的卧室了。

我并没有看到他，但我听到他放了自己最喜爱的CD。

我上床睡觉了，大约午夜时分我被窗外的亮光弄醒了。

’起先，小姑娘以为是满月的光亮，然而接着她意识到光亮在移动，而且越来越近。

“我拉开窗帘，看到一只巨大的飞船在窗外飞行。

飞船四周是蓝色的光，还有很多窗户。

里面站着许多白皮肤、眼睛又黑叉大的奇怪生物。

我害怕极了！”凯莉说飞船接着转到房子的侧面，朝她哥哥的卧室移去。

“出现一道闪光，我还听到贾斯廷的叫喊，接着飞船就消失了。

从那以后我就再也没见过贾斯廷。

肯定是外星人带走了他。

”凯莉然后跑去叫醒她的妈妈。

但是，福斯特夫人以为贾斯廷在一个朋友家过夜了，因此她认为凯莉只是做了个恶梦，于是将她打发回床上。

福斯特先生当晚忙于他的道路建设工作，事件发生时并不在家。

第二天午饭时贾斯廷仍未露面，福斯特夫人开始担心起来，于是让丈夫打电话报警。

多佛市的一些人也声称当晚看见了外星人。

“这种事在我身上就发生过！”梅维斯•伍德夫人说，“那些外星人将我劫持到飞船上，以便他们在我身上做研究。

幸运的是曩他们放我回家了，我一点儿也没有受伤。

整个经历太可怕了！回家之后我一直睡不好觉。

我认为贾斯廷也是被他们劫持走了。

”当被问及贾斯廷被外星人绑架的可能性时，负责调查此案的萨姆•彼得森侦探告诉记者：“人们有时候编造出这类奇异的故事。

事实上并没有确凿的证据证明是外星人劫持了他。
