On September 16, 1994, approximately 62 children aged 6-12 at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, reported seeing one or more silver disc-shaped craft land in a field near their schoolyard during recess. The children described small beings in black suits who communicated telepathically, conveying messages about environmental destruction. BBC correspondent Tim Leach filmed interviews days later. Harvard psychiatrist John Mack investigated and found the children's accounts remarkably consistent. The children, now adults, have maintained their accounts for over 30 years. A former student later claimed in a 2023 Netflix documentary that he started the sighting by pointing at a 'shiny rock,' though most witnesses reject this explanation.
