One of the most astonishing UFO witness cases comes from a supposed encounter with over sixty schoolchildren in the town of Ruwa, Zimbabwe, on September 16th 1994. The children claim to have seen multiple hovering objects that resembled what we would describe as spaceships.
Remember, unidentified objects have been tracked on radar scores of times – and at the same time have been visually confirmed by military pilots (and more) from all over the world. Dozens of governments have already disclosed the existence of UFOs. What is so intriguing about these disclosures is the fact that these unknown objects perform extraordinary maneuvers that defy our current understanding of physics, maneuvers that no known aircraft in the world can perform.
“Until this day, he has never stopped talking about it.” – Mother of one of the children(source)
What Happened
Some of these children were so taken back by this experience that they ran into the school crying.
Just as the title states, over sixty schoolchildren were playing outside at recess when they all said they saw a large craft, and multiple small crafts land in a nearby field. Not only that, they said they saw multiple “beings” that they described as non-human. This story has been well documented, is very serious, and was studied by various researchers. One of them is Harvard University psychologist Dr. John Mack. He himself interviewed these children personally, as well as many others. The story spread around the world quite fast and his interviews with the children were conducted shortly after the incident.
There is also footage (in the videos linked within this article) of interviews with the children many years after the incident.
The remarkable thing about this story is that all of the children told the exact same story, precisely, as if what had happened really did occur; they were being completely sincere about their experience. Another remarkable fact about this case is that the children’s drawings of what they saw were also extremely consistent with one another. They were, as Dr. Mack points out, clearly telling a story as if it had actually happened – they believed what they were saying and there was no evidence of psychosis or delusion.
Personally, after researching this case and others, I have no doubt that these children were being completely sincere, and that what they said happened really did occur.
Below is quite a shocking clip of some of the children talking to Dr. Mack about what they saw, as well as drawings (left) and some footage with school teachers and administrators. Anybody who has any type of experience with children will know that these children believe what they are saying, and anybody who feels the same way as I do about children would know that something big probably happened here. What adds even more validity to the story is the fact that these children are on a very long list of (completely normal) people who have had real, genuine unexplained encounters.
“They came running up here in such a panic, and even if we staged it they could have not all run together like that. They came up here like a living snake, we were in a staff meeting and we just heard them screaming and screaming… A child cannot make that up.” – Teacher from the school (video below)
“I was very skeptical in the beginning as well, I believed that they had seen something, but I wasn’t prepared to accept that it was anything supernatural, but I think the consistency of what’s been going on indicates that it was more than I was prepared to admit in the beginning.” – A second teacher from the school (video below)
Again, the children in the video are described as being mentally sound, and there are no indications that they were distorting the truth or were confused, or otherwise unable to make an account of what they saw.
“They describe these events like a person talks about something that has happened to them. I can tell that these are people of sound mind telling me something…” (quote continued in the video) -Dr. John Mack, professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
[youtube id=”TBiMzxdc09o”]
Some of the children were asked what they got from the experience. One of them answered that they were here to tell us that “we don’t look after the planet properly.” This makes one wonder, were these extraterrestrial beings from another world trying to get children to think about what we are doing to our planet? Out of the various extraterrestrial encounters that have been reported, this type of theme is common among those who have claimed to have had contact with extraterrestrial beings. This was no joke, the child was stricken with a horrible feeling and vision that the world might end, that “all the trees would go down and nobody would be able to breath.” (quote taken from video above)
Quite a scary thought for a child to bear.
Perhaps the beings accidentally came upon these children? Perhaps they meant to? Maybe they were there for other reasons? The fact that all of the adults were in a staff meeting is also intriguing; did these beings purposefully make an appearance, timing it perfectly for when there were no adults around? What do you think the purpose for such an encounter could be?
20 Years After The Incident
The video footage above also has footage from some of the children 20 years later speaking about their experience. They are able to communicate clearly and maturely about what happened. I just wanted to re-iterate that here, as it is some important footage of them from another perspective speaking about their experience, years after the event occurred.
There is also some more great footage HERE. This is where I found the quotes below, taken from the same children in their adult years. Again, you can find some footage of some of the other kids that were also involved in the incident shortly after the event occurred, as well as many years later in the video above as well.
“All of a sudden it was just like imaging going through my head, a message, telepathic communication.”(source)
“We met up on many occasions after that, hugged and shook our heads and said that was the most amazing experience of our lives wasn’t it?” (source)
It’s not uncommon for a child to make something up, but when you have more than sixty children doing it with such accuracy, it’s difficult to believe that something extraordinary didn’t happen here.
“I must say that if your listeners could see for themselves the mass of reports coming in from airborne gendarmerie, and from the gendarmerie charged with the job of conducting investigations, all of which reports are being forwarded by us to the CNES (National Center for Space Studies), then they would see that it is all pretty disturbing.” – Former French Minister of Defense, Robert Galley (Dolan, Richard. UFOs For the 21st Century Mind: New York: Richard Dolan Press, 2014.)
There are no official documents that prove the existence of extraterrestrial life, or that intelligent extraterrestrial life is operating these craft. On the other hand, we do have a great deal of evidence lending belief to the idea that some of these craft could indeed be controlled by a non-human intelligence, and this specific case in Zimbabwe is one of many supposed encounters that has so many people believing that we are not alone, and that intelligent extraterrestrial life is, and has been, visiting us for quite some time now.
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic Western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.” (source) – Dr. Brian O’leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.” – Former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer (source)
Below are some more pictures that the children drew; there are also a couple above within the article.

Uh huh. Interesting. We are supposed to believe this proves the existence of aliens (which many people use to disprove the Christian religion) but when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in the sky at Fatima and 70,000 people saw the sun dance in the sky, we are told that was a “mass hallucination.”
Consistency???
Edward…..that would an appearance of an extraterrestrial at Fatima yes? An appearance in a form humans might recognize doesn’t mean it was the Virgin Mary. And by definition “God” is one as well…you might want to consider human perception and broaden your horizons.
Edward…there is a story that is almost exactly like this one from Australia in the 1960s…50 or so school age kids on recess seeing a large metal disk land and freaking them all out and even leaving marks where it landed (physical evidence). People who don’t believe in anything but earth and humans are funny. 100 billion stars in Milky Way and then another 100 billion galaxies…come on. Religious side is funny…a piece of toast with an image of Jesus is almost worshiped. I believe in a God but the best you can get to that real info is NDE’s.
I’d like to take those old women who “see” an image of the Virgin Mary in a piece of toast and slap them silly. They make being religious look like the activity of blithering idiots.
Possibility of other life? I don’t see a problem with it in that I believe in a God who is love and in that love, loves to be creative. As you state, this universe is beyond our wildest imagination. Why not let that imagination fly a little. I just find it odd that those who are so accepting of other life forms, other inhabited worlds, and who thus let their imagination fly like that, are so dismissive of the idea of God and Him as Creator of all that exists. Why truncate that part of the imagination?
Its a bit more believable that in the vast universe there are other species that are intelligent. However believing in some omnipontent being that decides your fate when you die…. well thats a bit more far fetched.. in many ways.
That ‘Omnipontent’ being you say has left not one not two but hundreds of thousands of proofs that he exists, and if you want to argue that science has proven that God does not exist then let me tell you is your science even halfway near to the stage of perfection? No, it is not even close to that infact our technology our knowledge all of it is just a tiny spec of the knowledge God has and I doom on all those scientists that say that God does not exist just because He can’t not be detected using the five human senses, the only stage when science can be allowed to prove if God exists or not is when it has reached the stage of complete perfection, a Golden age when we have discovered every spec of knowledge of this Universe and are ready to good ahead of it, and do know that all of the discoveries science and Stephen Hawkings have made the Quran approves them, moreover in the time Catholics believed that the universe is limited to the Sun, moon Earth and the rest of the planets in our solar system, and believed that the Sun is stationary while the entire Universe is Geocentric (revolving around the Earth), it was the Quran that had stated that this this solar system is not geocentric it is revolving around the Sun, and moreover the Sun is not stationary although it is too moving around in space, it has also given us informaton about the galaxies and the universe upto the point it has even described the “Big Bang theory”, these are the verses “And know that this Entire Universe was a single unit(of matter) and then We Expanded it”
Seth..that’s the problem right there, i don’t want to be judgmental about your beliefs and stuff with life but maybe there’s a tiny spark there deep within you that wants to believe in some omnipotent being? but don’t believe in this kind of interpretation of omnipotent being that decides your fate when you die?
The Vatican is controlled by the nephilim, the aliens are their fathers the fallen angels returned, in physical bodied again but not looking human, unable to reproduce as they did in gen 6, they reproduce through genetic experiments, trying to create more demonic sons to live among us. The Vatican and Paul’s Christianity is a demonic counterfeit pulled off by the nephilim. The messiah Jesus/yeshua was real but he never spoke to Paul. The only protection is obedience to our creator, read Leviticus and Deuteronomy and what they say about a mark on the hand and forehead, the seal of the creator as mentioned in revelation. The opposite is mans name(legacy) and law, seal of the beast, mentioned in revelation. Christianity especially Catholicism is the religion of the beast and the Vatican is the political power of the beast, iron is the Roman empire, and right now we are in iron and clay.
Are you a Jehova’s Witness? Mind you I think you are even more over the top than a JW – sounds to me like you are reading too much David Ike and misinterpreting it. Please don’t attack the Catholic Faith until you have done an indepth study of what the actual faith represents. It is the oldest Christian church on earth and Peter was the first pope. This is all documented. We can trace the lineage of our faith from The Apostle, Peter, to the present day. Our God is glorious.
Paul was definitely an infiltrator
Answer me one thing? How did Jesus find disciples with the names Matthew, mark and John et all in the middle east?
Oh and the Vatican announced that there are most likely other races on other planets….so much using this stuff for disproving religion. They are” ahead of the curve” already. What have they seen in that nice observatory of theirs?
The “Vatican” has had one of the largest, most sophisticated observatories for many, many years, and has been in the know with governments from the beginning of what they call this phenomenon. They are no more fourth coming then our government. They are protecting their control and are in fear of truth. God forbid that mankind should acquire the ability and freedom to think for themselves.
Control???
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Yer kiddin’, right?
Maybe you should take a look at the current state of the Church. Running the Church in this day and age is about as successful as herding cats.
And what about the persecution of the Church and Her people? Did you forget that the Christian is fair game for political liberals around the world, as well as Muslim terrorists.
Control? Yeah, in a pig’s eye.
I agree, Rockie. People, like Edward here, laugh at the thought of government and/or church controlling the masses… but that just proves more that too many people have been dumbed down and are blind to the truth. Edward, instead of laughing at the thought of control, question it. Question it and everything else, and never stop questioning.
There are many, many UFO/alien reports of sightings; not all are valid. The ones deemed valid are ones where the reports are consistent. Those 70,000 people who said they saw the phenomenon, all had differing reports. Which ones should we believe?
They didn’t have differing reports. Try reading the story instead of listening to anti-Catholic propaganda.
A god is by far thee most improbable thing to ever exist. In fact a unicorn is more likely. DNA, make a few changes and ta-daaa, a horse with a single horn! Maybe the so called blessed virgin mary was just another alien sighting, Hm, try digesting that if you can.
why is unicorn more likely ? there are actual sightings, videos, photos, witnesses, tens of thousands of people
is there a point in being a non-believer ?
in the sky eh? thats called project blue beam. it is a hologram.
They didn’t have such things in 1916.
You say 70k people saw it while reports say 3…..?

Do more research. There’s much more to the story. 🙂
Agreed there is way more to that story including many eyewitness accounts of the “miracle of the sun” some observed from many miles away from the site. Obviously not the sun but something very strange definitely took place. You should do more detailed reading about it. I’m not Catholic or religious but the actual events are well enough documented by solid research. The interpretation of them by the Roman Catholic Church is another thing entirely.
Aliens?
they had that and then sum
I should like to see your proof of holograms in the year 1916. Movies were just beginning then and you wish me to believe in holograms?
The hell they didn’t! We’ll before than. Go back as far as you want
Still waiting for your proof of holographic projection into the sky to fool 70,000 people.
Of course, this does not prove existence of aliens (extra-terrestrial beings). But still it is more credible than the Fatima apparition. Why? Because the Fatima experience was a religion one, and the Ruwa experience involved children who were not saw this as a religious thing (unless they were raelians, and they were not). And religion is known to provoke all kind of miss-behaviour (as beheading or burning people).
And the Zimbabwean children said they did not knew who or what were the individuals they saw.
But the Fatima witnesses already knew who and what they saw. How did they knew that? The blessed shown to them an ID or some kind of celestial passport?
Kindly show me the proofs of mass misbehavior on the part of the whole body of the Catholic Church. Yes, there were people who were in the Church who were terrible individuals, and no thinking Catholic denies this, but the body of teaching from the Church tells us to love others and care for them, to feed the hungry, care for the poor, clothe the naked. And the great majority of Catholics who have lived have done these things. You just don’t care to acknowledge them
Why would the existance of aliens disprove the existence of God? I don’t believe God isn’t powerful enough to create the universes and other life forms.
Exactly!!
Exactly. Most american christians believe what organized religion tell them to. If you dont believe in visitors, (be it extraterrestrial, interdiminsional or a seperate more advanced civilization) then you dont look at the many facts.
Most people who believe in extraterrestial life forms use the idea to say “See? There is no God in the Christian sense of the word.”
Personally, as a Christian, I am open to the idea of life on other planets which comes from God. Why are most believers in alien life forms so scared of/opposed to the idea of God?
Why is it that people that don’t believe in this always find a way to change the subject? Ah huh
Its hard to believe there wasn’t a single teacher out there watching 60 SIXTY children play!!!?? They should have expected something to happen lol
The world is an interesting place! Plenty of room for miracles like seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary, and seeing some visitors from another part of our galaxy.
ya all hail xianity then it is settled then
Where exactly here did they say that this disproves Christianity or any other Religion??
where does it say that God must not exist if life on other planets exist?
at this point in the timeline of Humanity and this planet, whether you believe in Christianity or any other religion or believe in Aliens is a moot point because there is NO TANGIBLE evidence to prove beyond doubt that either exist, and should that change tomorrow, there still remains nothing to say that the other won’t exist, there is NOTHING not in the bible, nor any other texts, religious or scientific that states one cannot exist over the other.
to assume that this post is telling you to change your beliefs says more about you, than what it does about what these children have consistently claimed to see.
Generally speaking, people don’t lie about this stuff, and some folks who do speak out suffer greatly for doing so. This case is incredible and still puts me in awe today
I am a completely normal average person. I have only recently accepted the idea of ET life. To my surprise, I have seen similar and felt the communication from my star family as I now call them. I m profoundly grateful to experience it and for this reason I endorse this article
Ps They have great love for us all and wish us to follow a way that will bring us back into alignment with right living-a spirit of cooperation trust and goodwill.It is up to us to take these steps. They are concerned for our well being and the future of this planet. Out of respect for them,I post this message. I am shy of putting things on the public domain but I am someone who has learnt to speak my truth. There is disinformation out there so it is wise to be discerning as I do for myself. I could say more but I guess this is the message.
May you be willing to send me in an email the things they have said? I am very interested in hearing you out.
I. Believe
Guys, that video post is from last year. But it happens in 1994.. so many thing has change since that year!
If you don’t believe in life outside this planet you are simply not informed. No offense but there is way too much evidence out there by credible witnesses to dismiss it all. Just the number of planets alone is mind boggling. BILLIONS of galaxies with BILLIONS of planets in each. I would be more scared if we ARE alone out here.
I believe in extraterrestrial life, I just think we’re too insignificant to be worth their notice. We haven’t even landed on the next planet over yet, but they want to travel millions of miles to visit us. Talk about a hyper-intelligent and hyper-bored species. “Hey, Quiznork, nothing’s happening. How about we go check out the colons of that little monkey race.” “Ok, Bloopnork, you’re on. I wasn’t doing anything anyway.”
My science blog on our hollow spacecraft moon. Just science, no bullsh*t.

Could simply be a message from a more intelligent species who has experienced climate change, telling us to better ourselves. Instilling it in a kindergarten would be the logical thing, to create a generation that will save the earth.
What’s even more incredible is that all those UFO sightings drastically declined after cell-phone cameras became widespread. Hoaxes are harder to pull off these days.
Yes, with cell phone cameras in every hand, SOMEONE should’ve captured something by now. … yet the reports have actually declined since the advent of the cell phone camera? Hmmmm. I Want to believe, But it has to pass the “test” first
If our entire solar system (all the way out to the orbit of Pluto) were the size of a quarter, the next nearest solar body would be more than a mile away. However, hyper-intelligent extraterrestrial life is traveling thousands or hundreds of thousands of light years to an insignificant planet orbiting an average and insignificant star so that they can appear to larval members of the seemingly dominant life form on the planet (and/or probe us for various prurient reasons). Yeah, that seams reasonable.
Europeans go out of their way to travel the Amazon to dissect frogs. Seems reasonable.
A official documentary is currently being made on the Ariel School sighting by filmmaker Randall Nickerson in cooperation with the John E. Mack Institute. Please visit http://www.arielphenomenon.com to watch an exclusive film trailer, listen to a recent webcast held by Nickerson that was also streamed live on Podcast UFO, as well as find out how you can help finish this important film this year. You can also follow the film’s progress on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/arielschooldocumentary.
I think it is most likely that all these “sightings” were silent military aircraft experiments. It would be relatively to simulate very fast movement with multiple “ufo” silently and stealthily craft hovering and working the lights according to a script. That kind of only applies to night time testing. I don’t really have an explanation for really fast movement during the day time yet unless they used some of that background simulation stuff some soldiers are experimenting with, such as snipers and other higher end groups of the military.
I thought I saw a ufo once, twenty years later I realized that it was one of those “new” unmanned spy drones.
There is a documentary on this sighting that has been in development for several years. The footage above is from filmmaker Randall Nickerson’s talk at the International UFO Congress in 2011. Please visit http://www.arielphenomenon.com for an exclusive film trailer. Also visit the film’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/arielschooldocumentary for updates on the progress of the film.
As always if considered as a mass endogenous dmt flash it suddenly makes a bunch of sense
im with this poster.
you know whats up…
:))
I vacillate between believing in the God conditioned into my unconscious during my fifteen years in Catholic schools, the agnostic of my hippie years, and the atheism that I usually identify with as an adult. My continuing unconscious belief in god came as a shock, after experiencing all of the symptoms of a heart attack: chest pain, trouble breathing, falling to the ground, loosing consciousness for a short time, and believing it was “it was the big one” to quote Red Foxx, I panicked when I was unable to remember the words to the perfect act of contrition, the emergency prayer taught to us by the Catholic Sisters of Charity. Immediately after my trip to the emergency room where I was informed that my heart attack was actually an infection in my semicircular canals mixed with a panic attack, I reverted to my logical position of atheism. However, a recent diagnosis of cancer, and the real possibility of death, caused me to take a closer look at the universe with its 100 billion galaxies each containing 100 billion stars. While I understand the Big Bang and the approximately 14 to 17 billion years from the chaos immediately after the Big Bang to the current state of the universe, all of my understanding of calculus and logic collapses when attempting follow the attempts by the earth’s greatest minds first tentative steps towards building a model of the universe prior to the Big Bang. My guess is that even their prodigious knowledge of calculus will not even dent that mystery. This leaves me with several possible conclusions. Either the human mind is limited to concepts such as cause and effect and beginning and end; and, therefore, incapable of comprehending the concept of no beginning and no end or their is an intelligence guiding the universe. Of course, if a guiding intelligence exists, a god for lack of a better word, what existed before God. The Hindus resolved this problem by creating a human-like creature laughing like he had just heard an absolutely hysterical joke.
situations such as seeing some tall gray creatures with big eyes and a spaceship hovering over your house then i need some concrete proof of that not just a story but believing that there are other life forms out there intellectually higher or lower than us then i don’t need any proof i just know and believe that there are because i just can’t comprehend the reason for having such a vast universe with only earth in it that contains life. If earth were as big as the universe then that would make sense
This may be a little off point, but I find it hard to understand that there were 60 children UNSUPERVISED outside while ALL the adults just happened to be in a staff meeting? Not even one adult witness…a bit too convenient.
Two of the kids got it right. These things are evil and demonic in nature.
Oh, give it a rest.
I think it said 20 years ago–when I was at school altho we had adults in the play-ground mostly there were times when the teachers had meetings and monitors /prefects kept an eye on things
I would stop looking for meaning in one religion. Stop! Pick up a microscope if you can and go look for an atom. If you can’t find a microscope powerful enough, make a plan!
What do you find in that atom? Mostly space! A central nucleus surrounded by electrons and protons. Do you see that the electrons and neutrons, even sometimes the nucleus disappear and reappear?
Where do they go?
Stop being so closed minded and bound by what your parents taught you. Open your eyes to other possibilities. Stop being afraid to ask questions!
We are spiritual beings in a physical body. Outside of this body, we still exist. Where do we go? Do we go the same place as the electrons or nucleus?
As a spiritual being, it is your right to take from all religions, those qualities which you would prefer to keep and discard those which don’t serve you.
All religions are flawed, because the texts which you now read were reformatted in man’s understanding, not in the format that they were originally given!
Did any of the children who had this experience go on to work in professions or make any changes to their lives to protect and conserve our planet? Just curious.
don’t see your point there considering most people aren’t bothered to speak up or do anything about the obvious that’s wrong with humanity so why would these children be expected to do anything for a world that didn’t even believe them-who are human beings,created&taught by others of their own kind on this planet…it’s actually a crying shame that adults could expect to be more learned from their off-spring than what they teach them…
i am not religious but i do believe in higher more intelligent beings than we actually have proof of.It seems obvious to me that we can’t possibly be the first,let alone the only,beings to exist on (or visit) earth.i also believe in numerous dimensional life and we all think we’re in the 3rd yes.. so most people think that just because we know we’re not at the top dimension we are below something/someone that knows better than us which seems quite probable but we also know we are all spirits having human experiences (not the other way round) so why is it so hard for us to believe that we’re being reached by other dimensional beings?? The extraterrestrials we deny or gods we’ve embedded into our history could possibly be one in the same no…they come from the above and share their knowledge with us so we can know how to live better all for the sake of the whole universe,not individually because that’s not how WE can make the inhabitable planets more advanced (or as they should be).we also seem to understand them/their ideals without them ever having to speak a word to us,literally.Change, progression or true knowledge can only happen through collective consciousness-fact. Do not dismiss what you cannot prove wrong 🙂
