On September 14, 1994, a meteor shower occurred over the skies of Southern Africa. Local UFO researcher Cynthia Hind, however, collected reports describing a flaming capsule flanked by two smaller capsules. The event would likely have been forgotten were it not for what happened two days later at Ariel School.

Ariel School is a private elementary school in the agricultural town of Ruwa, Zimbabwe. In 1994, it had 110+ pupils and staff. Behind the Ariel School was the schoolyard - a large field where the children would play. Past that lay a rough bushland in which kids weren’t allowed to play due to its population of snakes and spiders. This area was not fenced in.

On September 16, 1994, children were outside in the schoolyard while most of the teachers attended a meeting inside the school. At least one source said that there was a single teacher manning a snack stand outside the school. This was when the incident occurred.

According to the later testimony of 62 children between the ages of 6 and 12, a large silver craft descended from above. Four smaller crafts accompanied it. They came to a rest, hovering above the bushland beyond the schoolyard. The children rushed to the edge of the schoolyard and noticed two humanoid figures. The first being sat atop one of the crafts, while the second ran back and forth along the ground.

The children’s descriptions of the beings were consistent, though there were some discrepancies. They were little men with elongated heads, arms, and legs, with eyes as big as rugby balls. The beings wore black, skin-tight suits. Some children described the creatures as sporting long black hair, while others did not report them as having hair.

From one student: “[I] could see the little man (about a metre tall) was dressed in a black, shiny suit; that he had long black hair and his eyes, which seemed lower on the cheek than our eyes, were large and elongated. The mouth was just a slit and the ears were hardly discernible.”

More fascinating is what the children reported experiencing immediately after observing the beings. Some witnesses reported a feeling of time stopping or slowing down. Several of the schoolchildren believed the beings had communicated with them - without using speech. The children’s accounts tend to characterize the communication as resulting from eye contact with the beings. What the children described was akin to telepathic communication, though they did not use that vocabulary to describe it.

These children said the beings’ message was about the human effect on Earth’s environment. Several reported being inundated with frightening ideas about ecological destruction as well as warnings about pollution and technology.

The event, the children said, lasted about 15 minutes before the crafts receded. The schoolchildren ran back into the school and reported the event to teachers. Some younger children were afraid and traumatized. As you would expect, their teachers did not believe them. This changed after the children home and reported the incident to their parents. Concerned parents returned to the school insisting that something had happened to their kids. The children were soon thereafter asked to make drawings of what they had seen. Despite the children doing this separately, the drawings were all similar. These drawings, some of which can be found online, are consistent with popular imagery of flying saucers.

Shortly afterwards, the BBC’s Zimbabwe bureau chief interviewed some of the children on camera. This reporting caught the attention of a Harvard University psychologist, John E. Mack. Most sources focus on Mack as the most influential figure in the affair.

John E. Mack was a well-known professor at Harvard Medical School. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1977 for his biography of British military figure T.E. Lawrence. Mack, while highly regarded, suffered professionally due to his research on alien abduction claims. Mack’s interest in the subject began when he conducted a study of people who reported alien encounters. Initially, Mack believed these individuals to be mentally ill. However, he soon discovered that the people he interviewed had no obvious pathologies. Mack began to believe that some of them were describing real experiences.

The investigation of the schoolchildren’s claim yielded observations which set it apart from other “alien encounter” cases.

First was the sheer number of witnesses - 62 children in total. This number was more impressive considering the children’s consistent accounts, despite their different interpretations of what they’d seen.

Many of the schoolchildren lacked prior knowledge of UFOs and did not describe the incident in those terms. Instead, they held various interpretations. Sources attribute these different explanations to the cultural diversity of the group.

• DailyMail.com has exclusively obtained an image of a ‘metallic’ orb flying over Mosul, Iraq in April 2016, from footage taken by a US intelligence-recon plane
• It was obtained by journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, who have released the image on their new UFO podcast, 'Weaponized’
• The sighting in a conflict zone where the US military is operating has sparked security and safety concerns at the Department of Defense

“It feels very good about Bloodlines 2 and we will probably be able to set a launch date for this game reasonably soon. We feel that the game has been in very good hands and we are incredibly satisfied with what we have seen,” says Fredrik Wester and adds that it’s “absolutely not impossible” that Bloodlines 2 could launch sometime in 2023.
