One day after school Mr. Tillman found Philo Farnsworth making drawings on the blackboard in the school-room.
“What are you doing?” Mr. Tillman asked with interest. “ What are these drawings?”

“I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are drawings of my first inventions.”
Mr. Tillman smiled to himself, “What is your invention?”
“I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air,” The boy answered. “Please just let me tell you about it. You are the only person who can understand what I have done.”
In 1922, even radio was new. The United States had fewer than 30 radio stations. But in 1922, a boy of 16 showed his teacher drawings for television!
In 1926, Philo worked as an office boy in Salt Lake City. Many important businessmen came into the office where he worked. One of these, George Everson , was from San Francisco. Like Mr. Tillman, Everson soon became interested in Philo. The shy, hard-working boy was like other office boys who Everson had known.
One evening Everson asked Philo to have dinner with him. After the meal, Philo began talking about his idea for Television. At first, Everson was not much interested in the invention. He listened only to be polite.
Many years later, Everson wrote a book telling about that evening with Philo. “As Farnsworth talked, he seemed to change,” Everson wrote, “His eyes lighted up , and he was no longer shy.” Talking freely about his invention, Philo Farnsworth was no longer an office boy--he was a scientist.
At the end of the evening, Everson was more interested than ever in Philo. And he was also interested in Philo’s idea for television.
After talking with Philo , Everson returned to San Francisco. There he brought together a number of important businessmen . Philo told them about his invention. The men became so interested in the young inventor that they gave $25,000 to help him work on his idea. Philo was only 20 years old, but here was his chance.

Dennis Bardens wrote an article. In it, he told us that he once saw a UFO himself. He had dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya. After dinner Dennis with his friend walked across a yard (院子) to his room. He noticed that the “moon” looked strange that night. But it wasn’t the moon. He saw the object’s light was moving. It seemed to be an object like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with light on it. But it wasn’t smoke because it didn’t change its shape (形状). When the object was nearer, he noticed that its bottom (底部的) part was brighter than the top. The bottom part was yellow and the top was red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left, moving very fast.
On a later day, Dennis talked to other people about it, and he found some people also saw it. They all described (描述) it in the same way.
