"I am the person missing from the Concorde," you say into the mike.

There is a long pause. You stare at your watch. Minutes seem like hours as you wonder—is it time for your life to end?

Three minutes have gone by. Nothing has happened!

Then, "This is NASA; do you read us?"

"Yes!"

"We have obtained computer verification of your identity. We know you were the passenger missing from the Concorde. Your space vessel was designated UFO 54-40. We will launch a shuttle to you within seventy-two hours. Don't try to work the controls. The top scientists in the United States are being summoned now. We're going to bring UFO 54-40 down to Earth."

Kim Lee is jumping up and down. Grinning, she asks, "Will you visit me in China?"

"I sure will!"
