A Strange Alien Story

It was a starry sky; Alex was out on her roof with her telescope. She went on looking at different stars and constellations and noting them in her shiny blue notebook. The star gazing was like an everyday activity for Alex, but today it felt different. Something wasn’t right. After almost an hour of sitting out in the cold, she retreated back to her room and went straight to bed. Around 2 am, she felt her bed shaking and thinking it was an earthquake rushed outside in the big green lawn. Her mother followed shortly after. Her mom was busy calling everyone she knew, but Alex was looking up at the sky, her face white as snow. She couldn’t believe her eyes! A huge cylindrical ship was hovering over her town. Then she had an idea, so she rushed inside her house grabbed her telescope and her notebook and went straight for the rooftop. Alex examined the ship curiously and detailed it in her blue notebook. “Grey in colour, kind of old, lot of round windows and one huge door.” You could hear firing in the distance, meaning the police and military had the intention to shoot it down. Then she noticed, a small blue figure watching her from a window. She wanted to make a sketch as it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Before she could grab her notebook or her phone, the ship vanished, disappeared into thin air. Nobody knew what it was, where it had gone and why was it here? After 6 months, this incident was merely described prank by some desperate teenagers but Alex knew that wasn’t it. Her entire blue notebook was filled with sketches of the ship and that figure. Maybe she was meant to see an alien, even though many scientists and people claim it a theory. She knew that aliens were real.
