Aerial School Ufo and Creature Sighting in Ruwa, Zimbabwe 1994

[Anders]

What's everyone's thoughts on over 60 school children in Ruwa, Zimbabwe witnessing a ufo land and stereotypical greys getting out and approaching them? John Mack pushed this case, and something about it makes me think it happened to a certain degree. It'd be cool to get some of the witness and schoolteachers involved here for a show in my opinion.

I recently brought this case up in the "contactee" forum, with a couple responses, agreeing something unusual must have occured.. Most of the kids seemed to be on the same page, describing the event.

And when interviewed years later the story hasnt changed, all it would take is one of the kids as an adult to say, nah we made it all up.
But not one of them did.

A classic case imo

Reminds me of the Australian school event from 1966:

These stories with collective school kid sightings are a really interesting genre in the history of ufology.

I'm embarrassed to say I never heard of the Ariel case. Thanks for posting this. The children obviously saw something that scared them. Westall is also impressive. I think they both happened exactly as described.

What's fascinating about the school UFO encounters is just how many witnesses are available to draw pictures, report their sighting experience etc. This is rich material for the investigator to use to present a rich retelling of a highly unique event. The Zimbabwe movie doc. should have been out a long time ago - with such strong material a clean edit is way overdue, especially as an opportunity to recall, celebrate and investigate J. Mack. When I saw the Westall doc. I could not believe I was not previously aware of such a well documented and detailed sighting experience from Ufological history.

It's also fascinating that all were kids. Not one adult was aware of what was going on then. Maybe ETs thought their message, relating to the environment, would have more of an impact on impressionable young people.
