PART ONE: READING

Read the text carefully then do the activities:

Valentin Degterev from the city of Nizhny Tagil in central Russia, says he found the UGO
(unidentified ground object) online using Google Earth.
Mr Degterev, who says he is a "researcher of the unknown" posted the images and co-ordinates
online before they went viral.
He is convinced the huge unidentified object must have been caused by a UFO crash at least
three years ago with the "flying saucer" still half buried there in the ice-land wastes of Antarctica.
He wrote on social media: "In among the endless ice desert, it is the most genuine UFO in its
most classic shape."
The satellite image used by Google Earth was taken on February 15 2012, but has just been made
more widely available.
He said: "I think there is very large disc-shaped flying machine amongst the frozen ice."
he estimated the size of it at 204 feet wide and 40 feet tall, making it a monster-sized ship, if he were
correct. He added: "I do not presume to know exactly what it is ,it is definitely not a polar station, nor a
plane, as there aren't any airplanes or helicopters this big in the world.
"There also arent any (Earthly) ships lost in Antarctica, he ended.
Not everyone who viewed his posting agreed with his quickly-drawn conclusions, believing it was
just a hole.
