A video which I’ve seen is about a reporter was
interviewing the students in New York City for
aliens who recently appeared on earth happened
quite a lot , but the problem here arises that
whenever you can contact with aliens or not ?
According to figures in the survey of the students
who responded to interview, about 77% of
students could not meet the aliens, because
there is always unknown, and the chance to see
with the aliens from the another planets is said to
be very rare. However, there are some
students, about 11% said that someday far or
near, it is still possible to meet and contact with
aliens. Moreover, the remaining percentage
(12%) have met and in contact with aliens in
outer reality, although the figures are also quite
small, but it was enough to evaluate, and
actually, people on this earth have encountered
aliens( this happened long time ago, but not
discovered in time)

1) As I think, this video is about the mystery
of the aliens throughout survey of each
students, which I feel is a practical
theme, it helps to extends the vision from
the time now .With the science fiction,
seemed to be false , but unbelievably, it
happens out of real life , even the
scientists cannot yet explain it all.
2) Of course, this will involve the existence
of alien presence for a Vietnamese
country, the following evidence may be
proof that the aliens have appeared 2
times in Vietnam. Firstly, during the
French colonial period,
Oct.23,1887,between 19-21h, many
people at that time took a rest by looked
the outside and enjoyed the fresh air ,
and there was huge bright object, which
shone down a field near village. A
moment later, the flying saucer has
generated tremendous sound and flew
skyward disappeared with no reason.
The second most recent appearance,
which was the time of the Vietnam war,
occurred in Nha Trang city (American
military base). At the end of the 60s, the
war was in existence with fierce fighting
and the event did not mention in the
American military newsletter, so many
people did not know , but when the war
ended, NICAP( National Investigations
Committee on Aerial Phenomena) is the
organisation which sought the
information and they believe it is real.
 When the aliens appear as it will
affect the peace and the destiny of a
country.
3) a) Whether those undetermined objects,
if the aliens enter the country in the
continent, can it easily ruin the human
species ?
b) If the aliens appear, so human in the
world can confront this or not ?
