Inquiries with the Federal Aviation Administration showed no records of any planes or other aircraft within hundreds of miles of the Markesan property that evening Later that same evening on the other side of town, Alvin Mendez, 92, disappeared in his own backyard. A neighbor reported that he saw pulsing blue lights from the vicinity of Mr. Mendex's property, as he walked out to look, he saw Mr. Mendez walking up the ramp to a giant, disc-like craft, where he was awaited by an indistinct, plowing being that in the neighbor's words, "could not have come from this world." The ramp then retracted and the disc flew into the sky, blue lights still pulsing. Mr. Mendez is still reported missing. UFO Watcher Today contacted the local army base by phone for comment on this story, but the army spokesman refused to talk. The reporter then drove out to the base for a personal interview, but was again denied. He then took up a position on a hillside overlooking the base, and waited for nightfall Shortly after dusk a large hangar on the far side of the army base opened up. Inside, the reporter saw the remains of a large, saucer-shaped craft. The damage to the craft seemed consistent with what one might expect from a missile attack Baflled but excited, scientists in white laboratory coats were inspecting the debris and pointing to the sky. Later, pilot who was still wearing his flight suit came and spoke to one of the scientists. He gestured as he spoke. He seemed to be describing a midair battle, indicating that he had fired a missile at an enemy. Then he pointed to the damaged portion of the saucer-like craft inside the hangar When UFO Watcher Today contacted the army base again, this time relaying startling new information about the damaged vessel in the hangar, the reporter was told to "mind his own business."

D) Some aircraft wreckage at a local army base may or may not be a UFO. The army has decided not to disclose information about this wreckage, maintaining that it has the right to keep some programs secret

Answer 1

The logical conclusion is that some sort of wreckage is being kept at a local army base, and the nature of the wreckage is unknown. The army is refusing to disclose any information about it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The logical conclusion based on the last three paragraphs of the passage is option A) Some sort of wreckage is being kept at a local army base. The army refused to comment about it. It is unclear what the wreckage is or what its significance may be.

The passage mentions that the reporter saw the remains of a large, saucer-shaped craft with damage consistent with a missile attack inside a hangar at the army base. The army spokesperson refused to talk about it and told the reporter to 'mind his own business'. Therefore, it suggests that something unusual or secret is being kept at the base.

The passage does not provide enough information to conclude if the wreckage is a UFO or not, and the army's refusal to disclose information suggests that they have the right to keep some programs secret.
