Story: A Strange Movement

John was at his house.  He looked into the sky.  There was a strange movement.  There were lights in the sky.  They moved up and down.  Then they moved sideways.  He called his wife into the room.

"Karen," he said.  "I think I see a UFO in the sky.  There are Aliens in this area!"

"Why do you think so?" Karen asked him.

"I saw these strange lights," John answered.  "They had a strange movement.  They moved up and down.  Then they moved sideways.  I never saw lights like this in this area before.  Maybe the government knows about this, and it is a big secret for us."  

"Yes," Karen said.  "This is very strange.  But, maybe it is a strange airplane and not a UFO."
