Mystery over the Baltic Sea Early morning, August 23rd 1979, two fishing boats left the port of Hel near Gdańsk for a fishing zone situated 70 kilometres offshore. Out on deck the fishing had begun when suddenly the crew became alarmed as several large red balls appeared in the sky right above them. One fishing boat performed zigzag moves in order to distance itself from the balls, but one of the mysterious features of the balls was that they were able to follow the boat, always remaining ahead of it. Simultaneously, all electrical appliances on the fishing boat stopped functioning. Members of the crew were gripped with fear, they had headaches and nausea and found it difficult to breathe.

Then, all of a sudden, after the captain had changed the boat’s course numerous times, the red balls soared upwards and disappeared. At that very moment, the electrical appliances started operating again. Both fishing boats turned and headed for the port of Hel. Members of the crew were immediately examined by doctors of the naval base. However, the doctors found no evidence of serious illness in the men, only nervous disorders and exhaustion.

Thirteen days after the UFOs appeared over the fishing boats, two glowing red balls appeared over an ambulance on the coast of the Gdańsk bay early in the morning. Four doctors in the ambulance and two pedestrians observed the balls. Again no harm was caused to the people involved.

So what were the red balls in the sky? Many theories have been put forward over the years but scientists have not yet found a likely explanation. They say that the accounts of the balls in the sky remain an intriguing mystery.

1 The strangest thing about the balls was their

a colour.         b shape.              c size.                      d movement.

2 The red balls appeared in the sky

 a as the men started fishing.

 b before the men started fishing.

 c after the men started fishing.

 d when the men stopped fishing.

3 Something on the boat that could have been affected by the balls was the

a compass.               b furniture.                   c lighting.                     d water supply.

4 At the end of the text we learn that

a scientists are fascinated by the stories of the balls.

 b scientists do not believe the stories of the balls.

c scientists are not interested in the balls.

d scientists do not expect to find an explanation for the balls.

5 According to the writer, in what way is the second incident similar to the first?

 c The people saw that the balls were glowing.

 d The people were frightened by the experience.
