The Ariel School UFO incident is one of the most compelling close encounter cases in modern history.
It occurred on September 16, 1994, at a small rural school in Ruwa, Zimbabwe. Over 60 schoolchildren, aged between 6 and 12, reported seeing a mysterious silver craft land in a field just beyond their playground during morning recess.
The children described seeing small humanoid beings, with large black eyes and slender figures, emerge from the craft. These beings reportedly communicated with the children, not through words, but telepathically. Many of the children said they received messages about the dangers of environmental destruction and technological misuse.
Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack listens to the Ariel School children recount their UFO encounter—raw, consistent, and deeply compelling.
