NBC晚间新闻 美国夜空现不明飞行物

Oh my god, it's a meteorite¹. It lit up the night sky. Oh so beautiful. From Hollywood to San Diego to Phoenix². Oh my gosh what is that? People wondering what in the world is that? It was weird³ - of course we know now. That was the Spacex Falcon⁴ 9 rocket. Blasting off in a mission to haul satellites into the earth's orbit. But at the time this is pretty bizarre. Folks out west freaked out.

What was it? Is it a UFO? I thought it was some aliens coming to town. Have the divine finally arrived? It's an angel. Or could it be an attack. We're being invaded. Spacex founder⁵ elon musk⁶ even jumped in tweeting nuclear alien ufo from North Korea. Nice troll buddy⁷. A spectacular show high in the sky illuminating⁸ our boundless⁹ ingenuity¹⁰ and our vivid imagination. See the UFO right there.

我的天，那是一个陨石。它点亮了夜空。啊，太美丽了。从好莱坞到圣地亚哥到凤凰城都能看到。我的天，那是什么东西？人们想知道天上那东西是什么？它很奇怪，当然现在我们知道了。那是太空探索技术公司的猎鹰九号火箭。它在一次将卫星送入地球轨道的任务中发射升空。但在当时这是很奇怪的。西部的人们吓坏了。它是什么？是不明飞行物吗？我以为是外星人来了。神终于来了吗？它就是个天使。或者它就是一次袭击。我们被入侵了。太空探索技术公司的创始人埃隆·马斯克甚至发推特说，那是来自朝鲜的外星人飞碟。伙计这个很有煽动性啊。好一次壮观的高空表演，它点亮了我们无限的创造力和生动的想象力。看那里有飞碟。
