Module 6 Unexplained Mysteries of the Nature World
UFOs
不明飞行物
Britain released 35 previously classified files documenting sightings of
unidentified flying objects (UFOs) by the military and members of the public dating
back to the 1950s.
英国解密了35份军方和民众提供的有关不明飞行物(UFO)见闻的绝密档案，这些见闻最早可追溯至上世纪50年代。
The files contain around 8,500 pages which mainly cover the period from 1997
to 2005 and include photographs, drawings and descriptions of flying saucer
sightings, as well as letters the Ministry of Defense(MoD) sent eyewitnesses in
response to their accounts.
此次解密的档案约有8500页，主要来自1997年至2005年期间，包括UFO相关照片、图画、飞碟的文字描述以及英国国防部对目击者的答复信件。
Policemen, a soldier, a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer and members of the public
report sightings of objects including a ＂chewy min-shaped solid craft＂ and aerial
objects resembling a ＂ring＂, a ＂jellyfish＂ and a ＂silver voile spin top＂.
目击者包括警察、士兵、空军军官以及普通民众。有人声称见到＂薄荷糖形状的坚实飞行器＂，还有人称发现＂指环＂＂水母＂状的不明飞行物，顶部还有＂银纱＂环绕。
In one account a man said he believed he had been ＂abducted＂ by aliens in
October 1998 after seeing an unidentified craft hover over his London home and
finding he had gained an hour of time in the process.
在某起事件中，一名英国男子称，他曾在1998年10月看到一架不明飞行物在他伦敦家中的上空盘旋，随后便遭外星人＂绑架＂，事后发现自己＂又回到一个小时前＂。
＂It was a large cigar-shaped vehicle with big projectiles on each side like
wings,＂ he told the MoD.
他告诉英国国防部：＂那是一个巨型的雪茄形状的飞船，两边各有一个机翼状推进器。＂
＂It seemed to have two very bright lights at the front and a whitelight flashing
round and round underneath… As you can imagine, I felt quite shaken.＂
＂飞碟前端好像发出两道亮光，一道白光围绕底部来回旋转闪个不停。你可以想象一下，我都吓呆了。＂
The MoD wrote to the man informing him that the object was probably an airship,
adding that the time he had gained was probably the result of the clocks being put
back one hour on the night of his close encounter.
国防部给这名男子回信称，他看到的可能是一艘飞艇，至于时间停滞，可能是当晚他不小心碰到手表，将手表调慢了一个小时。
Another file released by the National Archives reveals how the RAF was inundated
with calls one morning in 1967 after residents of southern England awoke to find
six small beeping UFOs lying in a perfect line from the Isle of Sheppey to the Bristol
Channel.
英国国家档案管解密的另一份资料中写道，1967年的一天早上，英国皇家空军被电话铃声淹没。英格兰南部地区多名居民来电称看到6架小型UFO。它们发出蜂鸣声，排成一列，从谢佩岛向布里斯托尔海峡方向飞去。
A bomb disposal unit blew up one of the UFOs, another was airlifted to the
southeastern village of Aldermaston and both the army and the MoD’s intelligence
unit were mobilised for what was considered a
real ＂alien invasion＂.
拆弹部队炸毁其中一架UFO，另一架则被空运至东南部的奥尔德马斯顿村。当时英国陆军和国防部情报部门都已做好准备，以防＂真正的外星人入侵＂。
It was later discovered that engineering
students at Farnborough Technical College had
constructed and positioned the UFOs in a bid to raise money for charity.
事后发现，这起恶作剧的幕后黑手居然是法恩伯勒科技学院的一名工程系学生，他希望籍此为慈善机构募款。
＂It does raise some questions about what really would happen if a tany time
in the future there was some kind of instant — would we be prepared?＂ said David
Clarke, author of ＂The UFO Files＂ and consultant to the National Archives’ UFO
project.
英国国家档案馆UFO项目顾问、《UFO档案》作者戴维·克拉克说：＂这的确反映出一些问题，如果将来某个时刻我们突然遇到外星人，我们准备好了吗？＂
