Part 2: Teaching Resources (第二部分:教学资源)
I. What is UFO?
A UFO or unidentified flying object in the original, literal sense is
any airborne object or optical phenomenon, detected visually or by
radar, whose nature is not readily known. Interest in these objects
stems from continued speculation that some of them may be the
products of extraterrestrial intelligence.
A UFO -- fact or fiction?
Perhaps the best scientifically accepted definition of a UFO was provided by the late astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek: "A UFO is the reported perception of an object or light seen in the sky or upon the land the appearance, trajectory, and general dynamic and luminescent behaviour of which do not suggest a logical, conventional explanation and which is not only mystifying to the original percipients but remains unidentified after close scrutiny of all available evidence by persons who are technically capable of making a common sense identification, if one is possible."
II.What is Alien or Extraterrestrial life?
Extraterrestrial life is life that may exist and originate outside our planet Earth. Its existence is currently hypothetical: there is as yet no evidence of extraterrestrial life that has been widely accepted by scientists.
Speculative forms of extraterrestrial life range from humanoid and monstrous beings seen in works of science fiction to life at the much smaller scale of bacteria and viruses.
Extraterrestrial life forms, especially intelligent ones, are often referred to in popular culture as
