Aliens - The truth is out there...

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI7Pb_VVqFo

Commercial divers have stumbled upon an incredible find. A U.F.O!

A group of divers in the Baltic Sea were making their final run to the bottom of the ocean with a ‘sonar fish’ - a sensor when it suddenly showed what looked like the shape of a U.F.O.

The image was about 60 meters across, which is roughly the size of a Jumbo jet and apparently not alone down there. There was a similar one but smaller.

The ocean explorer team said that the other smaller disc shaped object had a rigid tail and drag marks of more than 400 metres long. What could this be? Did it Crash Land?

Their size and distinctive shape are generating some peculiar theories – could it be the Star Wars spaceship or an old relic similar to that of the UK’s Stonehenge?

Andreas Olsson, Head of Archaeology at Sweden’s Maritime Museum said that this type of imaging is called - site scan sonar - but does not always show what is true because of varying temperatures and wave conditions can show defects in the image. Therefore no one can really tell if it's a U.F.O!

Is this the real thing?

DEBATE

Do U.F.O's exist?

Have you seen one?

Is there a worldwide government 'cover-up' ?

Comfortable settings in an ESL classroom

by Toby Knight

How well can you remember your first classroom at school? I can vividly remember walking into the classroom to be greeted by Mrs Magdalia, who had a book in her hand. She asked me if I knew what the word on the page of the book on the desk was. The word was “look”, and I didn’t know it, but I didn’t feel disappointed or unha...
