400 kilometers above the Earth's ground, the ISS solar sail panels unfurled, like a huge Chinese word for "work", quietly sailing along the predetermined orbit.

In the pressurized service module of the space station, Michelle, a female astronaut from the United States, had just finished eating and was watching the spectacular scenery of the earth with the blue background through the porthole of the service module.

She is a biologist and her ground-based research team is working on a study of the survival and growth of seaweed and plankton in microgravity, which has the potential to partially solve the problem of food sources for astronauts in the absence of ground logistics, thereby helping humanity realize the dream of long-distance space travel.

Unlike many scientists whose work is all their life, Ms. Michelle is a scientist with a hobby, devoting 95 percent of her energy to her biological research work, and the other 5 percent of her energy is devoted to a personal hobby, photography.

Speaking of a hobby, it is actually inseparable from Ms. Michelle's work, because her hobby is cultivated from work. From a picture of a single-celled organism under a microscope, to a moss, a piece of grass, a flower, a tree, a vegetative vegetation, from a swarm of bacteria under the microscope, to an ant, a dung beetle, a squirrel, a snake, an elephant, and even half of the Serengeti, Ms Michelle has always found the beauty of images of different objects from different angles and in different forms, which fascinates her. Photography has brought excitement and happiness to Michelle's life, and also injected a lot of passion and inspiration into her boring scientific research work, so she has taken out 5% of her precious energy to devote to this hobby, and over the past ten years, she has collected more than 100,000 of her own various photographic works in the hard disk of her personal computer.

This trip to space is arguably very important for Ms. Michelle's life, as it is her first, and perhaps the only time in her life, that she has been working on a biological research project that she has been working on for half of her life, and will also carry out scientific research in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station. At the same time, she is also the super lucky person among all the human beings on Earth, with a current probability of only 1 in 100 million - the lucky enough to be able to see the beauty of the Earth from extraterrestrial space, and at the same time experience the vastness and mystery of the universe.

In addition to scientific research, this space trip was undoubtedly a very valuable opportunity for Ms. Michelle's hobby of photography. The light and dark rotation of the space station alternates quickly, but for half a month, Michelle has deliberately arranged meals and rest in light hours, in order to use her naked eyes to enjoy the beautiful scenery through the porthole of the service module, and at the same time, she can use her camera and pocket camera to take some valuable pictures and videos as a collection. Of course, there are many high-precision video recording equipment working on the robotic arm outside the pressurized module of the space station and various parts of the cabin, but the video data taken by those devices is controlled and cannot be given to her as a private collection, and even the images she takes now must be reviewed before they can be privately owned.

Michelle secures himself to the porthole of the service cabin with a strap so that he can't balance his body in microgravity, and holds the camera with both hands and points out the window, with the pocket camera fixed underneath the camera and forward from the same perspective. At this time, Michelle's straight line view saw the Asia-Pacific coast, and the near angle of her sight was land, and she knew that there was a large rooster-shaped land there that belonged to China. Her gaze shifted from the coast to the center of the landing, and in the northwest there was a beautiful layer of color between the clouds and the land, and she was going to point her camera there to shoot a few shots.

Michelle pointed her camera at the cloud to adjust the focus and exposure, and was about to press the shutter when she saw a scene in the magnified cloud mirror that made her almost scream.

My God, what is that?

Michelle saw an octopus-like object emerge from one of the clouds.

The size of the object is not large, and the reason why it can be seen from such a distance is not only because of the magnification of the lens, but also because the object is luminous, and the tentacles in the form of an octopus seem to be composed of lightning, and the white light emitted is very conspicuous. The tentacles made of lightning twisted and shook rapidly, seemingly getting higher and higher, and the tentacles that emitted white light became more and more illusory.

Ms. Michelle is a senior photography enthusiast, and her professional level is not to be said, but after more than ten years and countless shootings, one of the basic skills of being a photographer is to practice well - stable. Although Michelle was surprised, he quickly adjusted his breathing rate, and hurriedly pointed the camera in his hand at the octopus-shaped object and pressed the shutter, while the pocket camera under the camera also recorded the whole process.

A minute later, Michelle saw through the camera that the object was getting taller and taller, but its white-glowing tentacles were so illusory that they couldn't be seen clearly, and finally the tentacles dissipated. Then, a black dot appeared from the center of the vanishing white light tentacle, broke away from the cloud, rose at a very rapid speed, and the image in the lens became larger and larger, and after a minute and a half, it was already possible to distinguish a black object from the lens, but because of the speed, only a black light and shadow could be seen, but its specific form could not be distinguished.

Two minutes later, Michelle saw through the camera that the black object had detached from the atmosphere, soared into the air like a black light, and visually passed about a hundred kilometers in front of his line of sight, and suddenly disappeared above the space station, as if it had never appeared.

Michelle held the camera and stood still for a dozen breaths before continuing to move, and her brain told her that the black thing was gone. Then Michel began to think about it in the way of a scientist, what was it? Could it be a new type of weapon or space vehicle launched by Huaxia? This idea was quickly rejected by him, because it had a very obvious feature that made him rule it out - no exhaust gas.

With the current human science and technology, it is absolutely impossible to produce large high-altitude aircraft without exhaust gases. Whether it is an airplane or a rocket, including the space shuttle of the United States, it must be powered by burning fuel, and there is no doubt that exhaust gas will be produced. The so-called ionic dynamics and dark matter dynamics are just scientific conjectures, and it is absolutely not possible to put these conjectures into practice in a short period of time in one or two generations, because science itself cannot achieve leapfrog development.

If the possibility of a human vehicle is excluded, then this object can only be classified as a phenomenon - UFO

Ms. Michelle is a biologist, she has never paid attention to some UFOs that frequently appear around the world, and she has not had time to pay attention to them, which is not her research subject, and she has never paid attention to those legends and statements such as aliens, Area 51, flying saucers, etc., she thinks that they are rumors, and their authenticity cannot be confirmed by scientific means, so they are unscientific things, and they are not worth the attention of a scientist.

But today's incident completely subverted Michelle's scientific concept and cognition, and even shook her belief in science. She flipped out the images from her camera and looked at them, making sure that this was really happening, and a thought popped into her mind, how do I bring this information back to the surface? In the legends about aliens, flying saucers, and Area 51, these materials are definitely not allowed to be kept and disseminated by individuals. Some of the equipment and some satellites of the space station must have also captured the scene of this incident, so how can we bring this information back?

Of course, there is no doubt about the intelligence of a scientist, and three months later, when Michelle's space journey ended, she actually put the images she took into the hard drive of her personal computer. Only a portion of the material she brought back was video footage from the pocket camera, and all photographic information about the object was confiscated by a mysterious, unknown department member, who managed to bring back the memory card of the pocket camera, and only she knew how she brought it out.

After returning to the surface, Ms. Michelle was troubled by this incident, so much so that it affected her work status, and what bothered her was what to do with the materials she brought back. After a month of hesitation and entanglement, Michelle finally chose to respect the public's right to know and anonymously released the video on the Internet.

The bizarre thing is that only half an hour after the video was released, it suddenly became blurry, and in the end, only about a few thousand people saw the clear video image, and when Michelle was about to upload the information for the second time, she suddenly found that her original information had also become equally blurred, she knew that the mysterious department interfered in this matter, but because there was no evidence, she could not pursue it. At the same time, she knew that she could no longer publish the truth to the public, and finally had to give up reluctantly.

Even so, the blurry video and the thousands of netizens who saw the clear video still set off a frenzy of public opinion on the Internet, and netizens speculated about the real identity of the object. Netizens have different opinions, some say that it is an alien flying machine, some say that it is a secret weapon researched by a certain country, and even some Chinese netizens say that it is a fairy manifestation......

Like the characteristics of public opinion in all online incidents, public opinion on this incident exploded quickly and violently, but it also subsided quickly. After some heated discussions, speculations, and interpretations among netizens, it slowly subsided, and only occasionally a screen name saw a blurry video from a large number of UFO videos on the Internet that seemed to be shot from the perspective of extraterrestrial space, like all other UFO videos, I don't know if it's true or not.

What biologist Ms. Michelle and the majority of netizens don't know is that this incident is not a separate incident at all, and it is not the first time such a thing has happened.

Back 24 years ago, the International Space Station was still just a program, scientists were still working on it, and the leaders of the countries involved in the construction of the space station were still talking to each other about the funding, responsibilities, rights and other matters of the project.

One day 24 years ago, 400 kilometers above the Earth's surface, in the same place where the object disappeared when the biologist Ms. Michelle photographed it, a black object suddenly appeared out of thin air, and it had no way out, as if it had been created out of nothing and generated on the spot in an instant. The black object could not see its form, and after it appeared, it fell towards the earth without pause, and coincidentally, there were also clouds in the direction where the object landed.

The black object descended into the clouds, and the lightning in the dark clouds that seemed to cover the sky from the ground was suddenly absorbed by all of it, forming a form like an octopus, and then the object split into three, completely wrapped by the lightning, and turned into three piercing white lights that fell to the surface of the earth.

At the same time, in the endless starry sky beyond the clouds, among the billions of stars like the sands of the Ganges, there was an inconspicuous star that suddenly shone brightly and became the brightest star in that starry sky, while the other stars around it seemed dim in comparison and became a foil for a while. But the scene lasted only two seconds, and the brightest star suddenly burst into light and then dimmed, and everything was dull as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, the rain poured down on the land under the dark clouds, and a baby was born to a vegetable farmer on the outskirts of the county town in the torrential rain, and it was an old child......

At the same time, in a room in a Taoist temple in the county town, there was a thin Taoist priest standing by the window, he saw the three white lights, he knew that the white light was not lightning, unusual; then, the Taoist priest turned his head to look through the book, and counted again, although he could not look through the dark clouds to see the starry sky, he already knew that there was a star that must shine brightly, and he also knew the name of the shining star - greedy wolf.
