The Islands were invaded by the Germans during | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Each year on May the 9th people there remember the day the islands | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
It's important to celebrate the liberation because it is quite | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
unique to us. This day is only celebrated by the Channel Islands | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
and not so much by the UK as a whole. Everybody is glad we are free | :02:37. | :02:41. | |

that's just returned Touchdown after a top-secret mission | :03:13. | :03:29. | |
lasting two years. This unmanned US military space plane landed at the | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Kennedy space Centre in the US causing a sonic boom. Sonic booms | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
happen on something flies faster than the speed of sound and it makes | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
a really loud noise. Exactly what the plane has been up to during its | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
718 days in orbit is not clear. It belongs to the US Air Force. Its | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
mission is classified, but the small bit of information we do know is | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
that this space plane has no one on board. It is 29 feet long with a | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
wingspan of 15 feet, much smaller than Nasa's all space shuttles. It's | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
thought a series of experiments are being carried out on board testing | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
different technologies and materials in space. But still, a lot of what | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
happens on this plane is kept secret. When it came in to land it | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
caused a sonic boom with one Twitter user living nearby saying her house | :04:26. | :04:37. | |
was shaking and dog went into a frenzy. Another mission is scheduled | :04:38. | :04:38. | |

what makes it a bit weird? It's called hobby horsing, | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
