area 51 escape ~pt 2~

I know a lot of facts about the moon. We are trapped and have to escape but, we don’t know how. The aliens put our team in this high security cell, that has guards at every opening. I was talking to my team and we tried to think of ways to escape but had no idea of how. Then Patricia had an idea. It was to get a metal bar from our bed and strike the force field like tuning fork.

I asked “How are we going to get the guards out of the way while they are on night patroll?”

“I think the vibration from the bar will be at such a high pitch that the alien’s large brains will not be able to handle the sound.  They will pass out” Patricia said.

The guard fell down and his keys made the door short circuit, so we went to the main office while everyone was helping the man who fell down. As we went to the main office, we started to open the gates and run away but, the alarm went off.   We ran as fast as we could! The guards went to the door to block it but, we made a lot of noise at the another door so they went there instead. We snuck past the guards and finally escaped.

Super Weather

Super weather can be anything from mild to very dangerous! Rain combined with ice, moist air or winds can be deadly. As recent as 100 years ago, meteorologists were unable to predict when or where storms were to hit. Today with the help of technology like doppler radar, satellites and radiosonde attached to weather balloons, predictions are more accurate.

As I sit in my chair and look out the window, I see rain drops stuck to the screen, down the street I see a tornado coming. The huge funnel of wind looks to be carrying cars and other objects. It’s powerful gusts easily moves a car and picks up trees from the ground. The speed of the leaves flying off the trees makes me think the winds must be at least 150 miles per hour! I don’t know where to hide! The only safe places are the basement or the closets, I think I’ll choose the basement.

Thankfully the tornado passed but, on this warm summer day as the sun starts to go down and the sky gets really dark, I hear sounds in the distance. Another 5 seconds later I hear it again. I realize it is thunder! Based on what I learned in school it was 5 miles away. According to Wikipedia lightning is made by warm air circling with electro-magnetic fields. The air felt warmer than earlier. I open my window again and watch the thunder and lightning storm in the sky. I really enjoyed watching it!

Suddenly, I felt the air growing colder and then it started to rain. The rain was hard. I thought to myself, “What is that?” Then I remembered, it’s hail! Oh, I remember that I learned about hail storms in school. I know that they can be very dangerous or very mild. I also learned that there are over 5,000 each year in the U.S.A! Here I am, watching a thunder storm as the hail chunks are getting tossed around, I think, “This is quite cool!” It was a heck of a day watching what I had learned in school come to life!

Rabbit King In New Hampshire

This Easter I got a pair of bunny ears. After the Easter egg hunt, I sat in the sun with all of the Easter eggs I had found, wearing my bunny ears. In the bushes I saw movement. I looked back and there was a bunny waving. I looked back again and there were 100 bunnies. (it looked like that) They picked me up and they went to there hole and all of the bunnies said, “You are the biggest bunny we have ever seen!” I looked at myself and I was fine, then I remembered that I had on bunny ears. I did not take them off, I liked it in the bunny hole.

Anyway, the bunnies took me to there leader, and he said, “Us bunnies need your help. When one of our bunnies gets out of our holes, there was a fox camping out for them.”

The king bunny was showing me around and their hole was like a city. There were tunnels leading everywhere around North Hampton! Even the back of the school and downtown, EVERYWHERE! It was so cool!

I asked, “What am I going to eat?”

“Grass silly.” said the bunny king. I remembered that I had a couple of granola bars in my pocket. “But will you help us with the fox problem?” said the king.

“Yes”, I said. Everyone looked so happy. I started to make a trap for the fox problem. I put one of my granola bars on the ground so the fox would nibble on it, then I would release a string that was attached to a cage to drop it on the fox and  the fox would would be trapped!

area 51 escape.

“1900” I was working at area 51 and my team were searching for things like UFO (unidentified flying object) and then we found this thing.  We thought it was a UFO and we went on with UFO so we looked inside and there was this orb and it was metal and we could not touch it because it was pushing our hands away.  We tried to pick it up with a crane and that did not even work.  So we did not touch it. And I thought how was it so powerful and strong.  I wanted to research about it but I found nothing.  So then I thought that it was from aliens so I wanted to research about the moon.  I saw a moon base.  Then I saw more and I researched about dark side of the moon.  I thought, “I think there was two moons at once on Earth.  Then they crashed together.”

“That is what I think,” I said to my teammates.  Then my teammates and me started to research about it. We think that aliens live on the dark side of the moon. So we wanted to save up a lot of money for  rocket ship but we realized that we had enough money for it so we went to the moon! 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. BLAST OFF. we where looking around on the moon and aliens captured us! We were scared. look in the next book for the esacape!
