The Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China not so long ago received as a gift from a private collector more than five hundred manuscripts of the Ming dynasty, among which there was a very surprising manuscript.
If all the documents were mainly devoted to history, medicine and martial arts, which is quite consistent with the interests of the Chinese of the 16th century, then a unique manuscript, dated presumably 1528, tells about the incredible adventure of one of the villagers - a bricklayer who once observed a UFO and mistook him for a shooting star.
Having determined the approximate place of the fall of the "star", the village artisan, apparently possessing an inquisitive mind as a researcher, went in search of it in the mountains. And ours is this place, but the "star" turned out to be an incomprehensible round house, made of some kind of shiny metal or covered with paint unknown to the bricklayer. From surprise and mystical fear of the find, the Chinese even lost his senses, and when he regained consciousness, he realized that he was in a strange cold room, uniformly illuminated by red light. And around the mason were scary three-eyed creatures in amazing clothes and babbling something in an incomprehensible, kind of like a bird, language.
From horror, the Chinese again plunged into unconsciousness, and when he woke up from another swoon, he realized that he was lying on the ground not far from his village. The man could not understand how he returned from the mountains, and fragmentary memories of three-eyed creatures made him assume that it was just a dream, or rather a nightmare.
But the nightmare continued in reality, because the bricklayer, as it turned out, had been absent from the village for more than a year, and had long been considered missing. Nobody believed in the Chinese man's story about his adventure, just as he himself was not convinced that he had not dreamed it.
However, the author of the manuscript, which now went to the Ministry of Culture of China, was an apparently educated man who conducted his own investigation, making sure that the mason's words were true. This was indirectly confirmed by the red scar on his chest, which the owner had not had before, and no one in the village had noticed him on the man. Moreover, this strange scar soon disappeared from the mason's body in the most mysterious way …
All this was described in the manuscript by the Chinese chronicler. Unfortunately, in the ancient treatise there is no more information about that amazing event …
