Alien Abduction

It was a calm and cold night with soft gentle snow sheet upon the mountain of the northern Himalayas. I was making my way over the mountain, I felt as cold as ice and hard as rock.


But for some strange reason I stopped to have a look in the sky. I felt the wind was staring to pick up, in the darkness of the night I saw a bright and I suddenly felt warm and cozy like I was inside the strange light came closer and closer until it crashed into the top of the mountain. I raced up to find out what the strange object was.


I found out the outta this world object was a crazy space craft looking thing. It was a humanoid with razor sharp blades on its tail and in is mouth, it was 10 feet tall and it had deep blue skin and a diamond like armor on its skull. I couldn't breath I felt the cold mountain weather was getting to me.... I woke up in a blizzard, and I made my way to my ATV.


Then, an avalanche suddenly came crashing down the mountain, it was a crazy feeling of fear with some adrenalin from the snow storm! I was desperate for the survival of my life, but I felt curious about that thing I saw at top of the mountain, then I was day dreaming about it, I heard a loud bang and I simple crashed into a snow wall. It was pitch black from the crash to my home, at the farther region of the mountains.


My house was warm and cozy even tho it was a cold and damp ice hunt. I was suddenly gasping for air, I woke up from my bed and there it was... It was a alien giving of hot steamy heat. Then I blacked out. I woke up again for the fourth time in a day. This time I was with my Friend's, and for some reason I couldn't believe it and and it was just I weired feeling. Then I stepped outside I started to run for my life, I felt something was wrong! My hunt was destroyed, in front of my very eyes, with my friend’s in it.


I found were the alien hid it’s space ship. I forced the doors open, with my bare hands and broke into the cock pit. I try ed to start the engine before the alien knew I stole his ship. First I try ed to hot wire the ship, it didn't work. I stepped outside and I took a step back and I thought of kick starting it. I pushed it down the hill and I jumped in.


Soon I was flying in the sky but, the Air force tracked me down and shot me out of the sky before I knew it. I landed in USA Roswell New Mexico. I was rushing for people so they could help me escape, I ran into a out of business car salesmen. There were very few cars but most had full tanks, but I couldn't find the keys. Some lights were shining through the window, I fell to the ground in fear I would be spotted.


But luckily it was just a farmer, I asked him for a car or a drop to the nearest city.He gave me a drop to Washington D.C where I try ed to tell what was happening. The government was harboring illegal aliens! Most of the people there laughed at me, but one man put me in jail.


I felt as I was being watched, from above. Like someone was telepathically trying to connect with me. I had dreams of the alien but suddenly they stop ed. Beep, Beep, Beeeep was all I heard. My earlier crash in the Himalayas was more harmful then I had thought. Instead of get in out the rest was just my thoughts so I’m not getting chased by a crazy alien from outer space. When I got up from my bed in the hospital I felt relieved and not crazy out of my mind, kind of feeling. All of my family was not harmed by a fire and not out of my life forever. After my accident I suffered some amnesia I think? I’m still under it’s affects. But the doctor said I will recover from any shock and amnesia of any kind. Be to this day I still feel like its watching me trying to find the right time to attack .


Along side this weired adventure, I still feel as if I have lost, the battle of the our Solar System, some how some way we will find out that there is life other than Earth’s life, so I can change life as we know it.


After many years, the strange man found alien specimens, but the government shut the lab down and took him to a brain washing facility and wiped his mind clean so he can start he’s life new. So is this the beginning or the end you decide.

Compare and Contrast Planet

ERVIN - ROOM 19

Your Main Focus: You need to compare (find similarities and differences) our planet Earth with three other planets in our Solar System.

Earth

VenusNeptuneJupiter
***
*
*

12 756.2 km

12 104 km49 528 km142984 km
This is the third planet from the sun. This is the second planet from the sun. This is the sixth planet from the sunThis is the fifth planet from the sun.
This planet is Earth and has … an atmosphereWe can compare this planet to Earth because it has an atmosphere and an orbitWe can compare this planet to Earth because the gravity level is similar. We can compare this planet to Earth because they both rotate (spin on their axis)
This does not apply.We can contrast this planet to Earth because it is a lot hotter and closer to the sunWe can contrast this planet to Earth because it is a planet made of water ice mixture.We can contrast this planet to Earth because it has more moons and dangerous gases.
his planet has one moon and/or no rings It takes 28 days for the moon to orbit the Earth. The moon rotates on it axis every 27.3 days.This planet has no moon and/or no rings and this planet has no life formsThis planet has thirteen moons and/or five rings and these moons have an orbit around Neptune.This planet has sixty three moons and/or thin rings and these moons/rings are around the planet.
  1. It has life.
  2. Third from sun
  3. the Earth is 150 million km from the Sun
  4. 24 hour day/night
  5. 12 756.2 km in diameter
  6. completely discovered
  1. the hottest planet in the Solar System.
  2. Venus rotates backwards compared to the other planets
  3. Venus has no moons
  4. Venus is the sixth largest planet.
  5. 4.869e24 kg is its mass
  6. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular
1.Neptune is made of a water and ice molecule mixture.
2.Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun.
3.Neptune has the strongest solar winds.
4.Neptune is the coldest planet in the Solar system.
5.There are no plains in Neptune.
6.164 years for Neptune to go around the Sun.
1. It’s a gas giant.
2.Jupiter is bigger than all the planets in the Solar System combined.
3.Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet.
4.Jupiter has rings.
5. It’s clouds are 50 km thick
6.Jupiter has 63 moons.
This does not apply.It is not possible for life on this planet because Venus is to hot for life to evolve. Life, as we know it, is not possible on this planet because Neptune Is too cold for life.Life, as we know it, is not possible on this planet because Jupiter is full of dangerous gases and moves (rotates) to fast.

Outta This World

‘Brring...’ screamed the alarm, I tried to ignore it I wanted to stay in my dream. My dream outta this world holiday.

I was feeling stiff as my long space flight was heading for my first stop. We landed on the 100,000 square km of lava pools upon the ridge belt, of Venus, after arriving at our destination, we deployed our space satellite . It was a huge 3.7 m tall! Then we left for some comet fragments passing by.

Upon our next flight , we were 660 million km from our destination. We flicked on hyper speed and in a flash we were on the fragments. We have just landed on a moderately bright, strong, greenish color space rock. Our small but strong rock was heading towards Jupiter our final destination.

We were almost at Jupiter. It was nerve wracking, I had a sleep so I could be recharged for our big Jupiter speed drag . After my sleep we were heading to Jupiter’s atmosphere.

“We are heading for some major turbulence!” cried the pilot. we crash landed and.... I was awake, I felt happy to be home without any unknown, undiscovered, planet! “This is captain Sleep-o-tron singing out from captain's log space ranger out.”
