going on, some type of action, not just kids standing around in an empty room.”
The four of them stood motionless looking around the empty room; each one’s minds were racing with a million thoughts.
The stillness was broken by a four-foot high rectangular door across the room opening upwards.
The kids stood frozen with fear staring straight ahead into the darkness wondering what was going to come out. They could see nothing beyond the dark. They each had their own thoughts as to what was on the other side, none of them pleasant. Ever movie they had seen about evil aliens flashed through their minds.
A moment passed and out slid a flat rectangle black platform with five chairs side by side. As the platform silently slid closer, the kids could see five tall, thin, grey aliens seated, each with big black oval eyes staring down at them.
The platform stopped thirty feet back from the kids as the aliens sat motionless for a moment.
The alien in the middle stood up and walked towards them. It stopped a few feet from them and looked into there eyes. “I come in peace”
The kids silently stared at it in disbelief. Each one was convinced they were dreaming. They had no idea how to act or what to say. Nothing on earth prepared them for such an event.
“That’s so odd.” Bobby whispered to the others as he continued to stare at the tall alien “I can hear the alien in my head with my own voice, is that happening for anyone else?”
Sam nodded “We can all hear him in our own heads. We don’t hear his voice out loud, we hear our own voice in our heads as though where thinking, but it’s his words”
“That’s so weird” Kyle said, “We can hear him as if he were talking out loud, but his mouth isn’t moving.”
The alien continued to look at the kids “We mean you and all humans no harm” the voice said in their heads.
“So why are you planning on attacking earth?” Timmy whispered.
The alien shook its head slowly “No, we’ve never had any intention of attacking any life on any planet. We are not a violent entity. We believe in peace. We know through peace all life grows. Violence only leads to sadness. We want to watch life grow. We want to see the humans, plants, animals, fish and all life on earth flourish over time in peaceful harmony” the voice said inside of their heads. “We admire the color and richness of your planet, from the earth itself to all life around the universe. Ever since we arrived we have admired the splendor of the earth”
Sam spoke up “The General said you found planet earth and want to destroy us. Want to enslave mankind, steal all the recourses. That you’re just waiting for us to put our guard down, then you will attack”
The alien answered, “No, we do not want to harm any creature on earth. We want all life to be free. Just like on all the planets in the Universe. Why would we enslave something that we helped create?”
Kyle couldn’t believe it “Made us? No way, that’s not possible”
The alien gently waved his hand to the right and the gray walls around the kids turned into glass. The kids could see the Springbrook Gardens underneath them. They could see the sky above.
“Ohhh, Cool” Kyle said “It feels like were floating on air. Are we really outside or still standing in the room?”
“This looks scary” Bobby said, “Looks like where walking on air.”
The mother ship fired straight up into the sky passing clouds along the way and off into outer space. The kids were freaking out, looking for something to hold to. They were convinced they were outside floating in space. They couldn’t tell if it was an illusion or reality.
“Look at this, its insane” Kyle called out.
“It looks so real, is it a movie?” Bobby asked as he watched the earth disappear under his feet. “Look at the earth, I can see all the continents and oceans at once”
The ship stopped and hovered in outer space. The kids marveled at the millions of bright stars. They could see the sun, bigger and brighter then ever before. They watched as the ship passed within feet of the moon. They could see details of where meteorites had crashed millions of years ago and where man first walked. As they passed by the dark side they saw countless UFOs that have landed.
Sam figured this is where UFOs stayed when not flying around earth. He now knew all the videos and rumors of the moon having UFOs were real.
The ship picked up speed for a few seconds and slowed down as it passed Mars.
It amazed Timmy how quickly they reached the red planet. It would’ve taken man over two years to reach this far, but the UFO reached it in seconds. It would be like going back in a time machine and bringing an airplane with you to a period when man crossed the ocean on boats and how it took over a month to do so. They would be astonished by the speed of the airplanes and how the crossing could be done in just a few hours.
The kids marveled at the amazing site of Mars. They saw the Valles Marinerus. Sam pointed out hills and valleys to the others. Sam tried looking for the face on mars and was surprised when he found out it was just a rock formation, so much for that theory. He knew the planet was freezing cold. He knew the planet looked hot from a distance because of its red color, fooling everyone about its real temperature.
The ship moved away from Mars and soon passed inside the asteroid belt. The kids marveled as giant sized asteroids passing by them by a few feet. Thousands of them moving at different speeds. Some softly deflected off the mother ship.
Sam looked for the dwarf planet, Ceres. He looked out for Vesta and Pallas as well, wondering if he could spot them from the ship.
“Look at all the asteroids, where did they come from?” Timmy asked.
“It was once a planet.” The alien said.
The other kids looked at him in surprise.
“Other planet?” Sam said, “There are some scientists who have wondered if the android belt was a planet that never formed, but there was no evidence. What happened to it?”
“It was a planet with life just like earth, millions of years ago. Long before earth had human life. Your earth had dinosaurs walking around on it while this planet was at its greatest. They had buildings and houses like earth has today. Their cars could fly. We discovered the planet and wanted to be apart of their wonderful world. We hovered over their capital city one day. We wanted to let them know life on other planets exist. Instead of embracing us as a planet, some of them feared us. It was a mistake to introduce ourselves so quickly. We learned from that moment. We now know introducing ourselves to a new world needs to take time.”
“What happened to them?” Kyle asked, “Why is their planet gone?”
“They had a great war. They once were wise people who built a great planet, but over time there ego and greed got the best of them. “
“Sounds like us humans” Timmy whispered to Sam. “Hopefully we won’t have the same fate”
It reminded Sam about the people of Atlantis.
The alien voice continued “In there time they discovered how to split the atom and built nuclear bombs. They had a world war and blew up their planet. That’s why we are so concerned over you humans and your nuclear bombs. We do not want you to end up the same way”
The kids looked at each at each other in shock.
Sam wondered why there were so many sightings of UFOs since the nineteen forty’s, now it makes sense.
The ship made its way to Jupiter passing by its sixty-seven moons. They could see Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system. They also saw the moons called Lo, Europa and Callisto. They passed by the moon called Lo so close they could see the countless volcanoes. It wasn’t hard for the kids to tell Europa was covered by a cracked ice surface.
Sam knew most of the moons where asteroids and comets captured as they passed by Jupiter’s orbit.
The kids where astonished by the massive colossal size of the giant planet. They were speechless. They had never seen anything so big. Their minds could not comprehend the size. Even though they where miles back it filled up the entire window with it
s intense bright light.
Sam pointed out the on going hurricane called the giant red spot. Up close the storm looked out of control. No storm on earth could ever possibly equal it.
“Wow, look at it.” Bobby said in amazement. “It’s gone crazy. Forget a category 5, that’s has to be a 20. It’s larger then the earth itself.”
Sam looked for the spot were the meteor slammed in Jupiter. A meteor the size of earth. He was happy the meteor hit Jupiter and not the earth, or he and everyone he cared about would have blowin up. Nothing would be left of the earth. He was able to see the rings of Jupiter. They were hard to see on earth, but being this close gave him a chance to see them better. Making it the fourth planet to have rings.
“Don’t think we can land on it though,” Timmy said “I heard it’s a gas planet”
Kyle nodded “I heard on TV, that the gravity of Jupiter is so strong that if a human tried to walk on it, they would be crushed by it”
“Wooh” Bobby said “Crushed, like a pancake?”
“Yes sir” Kyle said, “You wouldn’t be able to stand up. It would pull you down to the surface, if it had one. I also learned that if a man lived on Jupiter his whole life he would be as strong as a superhero if he came to earth.”
“What?” Bobby said, “You mean a real life superhero?”
“You bet, because the gravity of Jupiter is so strong you would need a lot of muscle just to stand up right. On that planet you would be just like everyone else, there wouldn’t be
