The First Contact on the Moon
Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon, but he was not alone. As he stepped out of the Apollo 11 lunar module, he saw a strange metallic object in the distance, partially buried in the lunar dust. He decided to investigate, leaving his partner Buzz Aldrin behind.
As he approached the object, he realized it was a spacecraft of some kind, unlike anything he had ever seen before. It had a sleek and smooth design, with no visible windows or doors. It was covered with symbols and markings that he could not decipher.
He touched the surface of the craft, feeling a slight vibration. Suddenly, a hatch opened, and a figure emerged. It was humanoid, but not human. It had gray skin, large black eyes, and a small mouth and nose. It wore a tight-fitting suit that matched the color of its ship.
The alien looked at Armstrong with curiosity and fear. It raised its hand, as if to greet him. Armstrong did the same, trying to appear friendly. He wondered if the alien could understand him. He said, “Hello, I’m Neil. I come from Earth.”
The alien tilted its head, as if trying to process his words. It opened its mouth and emitted a series of clicks and whistles. Armstrong did not know what it meant, but he sensed it was trying to communicate.
He reached for his radio, hoping to contact Houston and report his discovery. But before he could do so, he heard Aldrin’s voice in his earpiece.
