2.6 Write a story of an alien experience.

Every year, I and my family go camping with a lot of friends and in a warm night, when we were all around the bonfire, we saw a flying saucer across the sky. The little kids freaked out and their moms´ tried to calm them down. I looked my mom and she asked me if I saw what she saw and I just nod without even knowing if what just happened was real.

So we went back home, but my dad hasn´t been the same.
