Police in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year –old boy who went missing two days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. People have shown great interest in his disappearance due to sightings of puzzling lights in the sky and reports of alien visits around the time of his disappearance. Justin Foster, a high school student, went missing last Friday night.

At first, Justin’s mother, who went to sleep early that evening because of a headache, thought that the teenager was spending the night with a friend. Mr. Foster, who was working that night, was surprised that his son did not tell anyone that he was staying out late. When Justin did not show up at the family lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police. However, police found that Justin did in fact return home on Friday night at about 11 p.m. That evening at 8 p.m, Justin left home to play baseball with two friends, who both say Justin walking towards his home at 10.45 p.m.

Justin’s sister, Kelly, says she heard her brother return home at about 11 p.m. ‘I was getting ready for bed,’ she said ‘Justin went straight to his room. . I didn’t see him but I heard him put on his favourite CD. That’s when the lights came.’

According to Kelly, a bright light then appeared outside her window. At first, the young girl

thought it was the light of the full moon but then she realized that it was moving and coming closer. ‘I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had multi-coloured lights all around it and there many windows. Standing inside were lots of white-skinned,

strange-looking creatures with large black eyes. ‘I was frightened.’ Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brothe r’s bedroom. ‘I heard Justin since. I’m sure the aliens took him, but my parents said I was only dreaming.’

Some people in Dover also say that they have seen aliens. ‘It happened to me!’ said Mavis wood. ‘The aliens took me away so that they could do resea rch on me. Luckily, they returned me to my home. I think Justin was taken away by them too. They are interested in us. I still have nightmares about them. K hasn’t been sleeping well since I returned home. The whole experience was very frightening I even g et frightened when I hear a plane fly over.’

Police have not ruled out the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, but are also looking into other possibilities. ‘Sometimes people make up such amazing stories,’ says Detective same Peterson, who has ta ken charge of the case. ‘So we’ve been looking at other possibilities too, such as murder. We will not give up until we find convincing evidence.’

M2U1 Project: Yeti, Bigfoot and the Wild Man of Shennongjia

For centuries, people have reported seeing a wild creature in the Himalayas called Yeti. The Yeti is said to be a large, hairy animal that walks on two feet like a human being. People blieve that Yetis sometimes come down from the moutains to attack villagers.

In 1998, an American mountain climber said that he saw a Yeti on the Chinese side of the Himalayas. ‘It walked like a human, but it had thick black fur and was about six feet tall with huge shoulders, very long arms and large hands,' he said.

In 2007, an American TV team saw Yeti tracks 33 centimetres in length in the snow near Mount Qomolangma. They made copies of these tracks and had them examined by a scientist in the USA. He reported that they looked like the tracks of a similar creature, called Bigfoot, which some people believe lives in the forests of the north-west of the USA.

Yeti and Bigfoot are similar to a creature known as the Wild Man of Shennongjia. There have been dozens of reports that people have seen a Wild Man in the Shennongjia Nature reserve in western Hubei Province, China. In one case, a group of engineers ran after the creature, which moved with amazing speed and strength. Large tracks have also been discovered which some people say belong to the Wild Man. Because of these reports and the tracks, there have been several organized searches for this creature, but no strong evidence for its existence has ever been found.
