The day this happened it was my cousin's birthday and whenever it's someone's birthday in the family, it is a tradition to go for a walk in the middle of the night. My cousin comes from the other side of the world - Australia - and a few hours after he and his family arrived, we threw him a surprise party and had a piñata in the garden, which was my favourite bit. It was a beautiful day, which was a change because usually when he comes over, the weather is dreadful. We played in the garden all afternoon and really enjoyed ourselves, but we were mainly excited about our midnight walk.It was getting closer and closer to midnight and we were getting ready to leave the house for our walk. We packed torches and some snacks for the midnight feast and set off. We usually go to the field behind the house, however, this time we decided to go to the forest nearby because we wanted to climb the trees and have a snack up high. Suddenly I saw a light in the sky; at first I thought it was a plane but it was getting bigger and brighter. I pointed it out to my cousin and sisters and we stared as it got closer and closer until we realised with astonishment that it was a spaceship. The lights were blinding  our eyes and we were so amazed at this sight that our feet were glued to the spot. There were five red buttons on the side and eight square shaped windows with a black tint so we couldn’t see inside. It rapidly got closer until all of a sudden it landed right in front of our feet. We waited patiently for something to happen. I heard a screech from behind me and turned around to see my cousin was gone. I felt someone grab my shoulder and we all disappeared into the night…
