On September 16, 1994, at Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, around 62 children (ages 6-12) reported seeing one or more silver, disc-shaped UFOs descend and land (or hover) in a nearby field during recess, while teachers were indoors. The event lasted about 15 minutes, with some kids describing flashing lights and a humming sound.Witnesses claimed 1-4 humanoid beings (about 1m tall, pale skin, large black eyes, long black hair, tight black suits) emerged and approached them, conveying telepathic warnings about environmental destruction and technology overuse. Some interpreted the figures through local folklore, like "tokoloshes." No adults witnessed it, and not all 200+ students saw anything.Investigations: BBC filmed initial interviews; UFO researcher Cynthia Hind collected drawings showing consistency. Psychiatrist John Mack interviewed kids in November, highlighting eco-messages, but faced criticism. Many witnesses maintain their stories in later documentaries (e.g., "The Phenomenon" 2020, Netflix's "Encounters" 2023), though one later called it a prank leading to hysteria.Skeptical Views: Often explained as mass hysteria amid recent UFO hype (e.g., from a rocket re-entry), interview contamination, cultural influences, or a hoax/prank. No physical evidence was found. It's a famous mass UFO sighting, debated as alien contact vs. psychological phenomenon.
