spaceship was really a robot. But we have learned of a new discovery — a map of a city. Our specialists have already compared it with the maps of all the cities known on the planet Earth. It is not the map of any of them. That makes us believe that we have a map of an alien city. It doesn't look different from the maps of our cities: same roads, streets, parks and buildings. This fact lets us believe that the aliens who live in such cities must be similar to people on our planet. It makes us hopeful that if we meet them we will have no problems in under­standing each other.
