Do UFOs Exist?. Juan Moisés De La Serna

it and I think that’s the way it should be, and I shouldn’t leave this place. I cannot give you any more explanations because I am not clear about it either, but I would like you to respect my decision, as you have done so many times, that even though the place, where I asked you to be smiling, always smiling, was very rare, because dear friend, that’s what I like most about you, your smile. Well, as I was saying, with a smile on your face you said to me “Well, we don’t have anything better to do, why not?.” And we prepared everything to start an adventure to that place again — Peter was saying to me in a very serious tone.

      — Yes, I don’t know where you have always got your ideas, but the passing of the years has proven me right, following your “hunches” like flames, we have gone to unusual places and we have had experiences that, if it had not been for you, we could never have had them.

      — Look, well the same as in those times that you are referring to. In these moments I am having that hunch, here is where I must stay. I do not know if it will be for a long time or for a short time, that answer is still not very clear to me, but I must let you go, and I must be alone here. It is a stage of my life that I must go through in solitude, and do not think that it will be easy for me to get away from you, you have accustomed me to your morning ditties, those that I do not know where they come from but that make me wake up with joy, because its lyrics always invite you to have a good day, and I recognize that it is a great way to feel positive, even though I have ever told you to let me sleep a little more, that the previous night we had been seeing the stars until very late.

      — Peter, do you remember when we met?

      I don’t know why I asked him that in that instant, but his mention of the ditties had brought to mind that moment.

      — Of course! How do you pretend I forgot it? I was on the motorbike, so calm, I wasn’t in a hurry and that’s why I was going so slowly, when I passed that field I heard someone sing. The truth is that I found it amazing, a guy there singing to the moon. I couldn’t believe it!

      At first I thought, and excuse me, but I don’t think I could think another thing. I thought you were like a vat, and I stopped the bike, because the lyrics of the song seemed beautiful to me. I was there listening, I don’t know how long. You did not get tired of saying those things, which I had never heard in my life, and certainly they could not have occurred to me, so I did not have the slightest doubt of waiting for you to finish, I had to talk to you. After listening to it for a while, I understood that he was not drunk. A person who says these things is very sane. What was evident was that you thought that no one was listening to you, although the lyrics clearly showed that you were saying it to someone.

      — But were you there for a long time? We’ve never talked about it.

      — Well, I don’t know when you had started, but my time flew by, it was very interesting. You know, you seemed like a minstrel of those who speak the books that in the Middle Ages narrated the events in the form of songs. That was what I heard that night, a series of inexplicable events for me in those moments, but the more I continued to listen to it the more they hooked me, as they say, all that, that you seemed to have very clear became more and more interesting and that’s why I waited for you to finish. I didn’t want to interrupt you, what you were doing was very important to you, I noticed that immediately.

      — Today we have History, gentlemen!

      The professor was talking very seriously, we all knew it, of course he was the history professor. What was he going to give us? We did not understand very well why he had told us that.

      The whole class was surprised, we looked at each other, until one of the classmates, possibly the one who had less patience than the others, could not wait any longer, said:

      — Sir, we already knew that.

      — Yes, I know — he replied —. But what I am sure you do not know is the topic we are going to deal with — said the professor, putting a big smile on his face.

      He had our full attention, it was the first day of class, and that it started that way, we all found it very strange, so we were quiet to see where it came from. What would he want to tell us?

      — Have you ever heard of Charlemagne? — he asked very seriously.

      — No! — was the general reply.

      — Well, I’m sure he was the brother of Alexander the Great, and that Magno was his last name — said one of the companions.

      — No! — said the professor —. They did not get to know each other.

      — Well, at least they would be cousins — said another of the companions.

      — I doubt that, but let’s continue with what we were. Charlemagne, who was the king of the Franks and the Lombards, was crowned Emperor Augustus by Pope Leon III in the year 800 in Rome. He was the son of Pipino el Breve, and fought against the Muslims in his advance through the Iberian Peninsula, until he was defeated at Roncesvalles.

      He told us his story, how good it was! It was interesting, but we got tired of it because it was getting longer, and we were beginning to hear some whispers in class.

      — What a problem! — was suddenly heard from the back of the class.

      The professor, that old man, taking off his glasses, leaving them very calmly on the table, got up and said:

      — Do you think that’s a problem? And if I tell you something…

      — Yes, but don’t let it be another problem — he heard himself being told, interrupting again.

      He was very thoughtful, in silence, so he was that way a few moments. We thought he was angry, and he was planning something to punish us.

      It was the first day of class, and it seems that we had started off on the wrong foot, but what would not be our astonishment, when he returned to speak he asked us:

      — Who knows what a UFO is? — And he fell silent again.

      We all look at each other for a moment and then we laugh.

      — Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny? — asked the professor.

      — A UFO? That doesn’t exist! — jumped one from one of the last rows, those who sit there because they want to interrupt, without anyone knowing who it is.

      — What happens? Haven’t you seen them? That’s why he makes that statement — Don Carlos replied.

      The whole class was very quiet, we were expectant.

      — Has anyone seen them? — he asked suddenly.

      — No! — was everyone’s answer.

      — Then why do they say they don’t exist? They can only say that they haven’t seen them. Come on! I say, that it would be their correct answer.

      We laughed, we thought he must be joking, but the very serious one kept saying:

      — Have any of you been to Egypt and seen the pyramids?

      We all naturally answered “no”. What a question he was asking us.

      — Then they don’t exist? — he was asking us very seriously.

      — Of course them exist! — most of us who were there told him —. There are a lot of photographs of them in many books. How can they not exist? Is it that you have not seen them? — we asked puzzled.

      We did not fully understand what he wanted to tell us.

      — Yes, but even if there are those photos that you say, we have not seen them, because you have told me that you have not been there. That is true, right? — he asked us again, but before we answered, he continued —. Look! If I ask you if you have seen our beautiful Cathedral, you will all tell me “of course!” How can you not see it?

      So, as you have seen that it exists, there is no doubt about it, but if I ask you if the Chinese have
