On 14th September, 1994, a UFO streaked across the sky over Southern Africa. Two days later, extraterrestrial crafts landed in a schoolyard in Ruwa, Zimbabwe and little men exited according to journalist Cynthia Hind. This was witnessed by 62 schoolchildren, who had little or no exposure to TV or popular press accounts of UFOs.
Cynthia Hind,a resident of Zimbabwe, MUFON'S coordinator for Africa, and author of the book UFOS OVER AFRICA, interviewed them the day after the encounter and had them draw pictures of what they had seen. Dr John Mack, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, was visiting Zimbabwe at the time of the event and he spent two days at Ariel School interviewing the children.
UPDATE: On behalf of the John E. Mack Institute American film maker Randall Nickerson is currently visiting southern Africa to make a documentary that follows up the incident that happened at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, in 1994. In 2009, he expects to complete production in the UK, where many of the former students now reside.
Those children are now young adults scattered around the globe. Nickerson is tracking them down and interviewing them about the experience. "Their stories have not changed at all," he says. "Not what you would expect if they had made it all up."
"They were affected profoundly," says Nickerson. "At the time one girl was told by her parents not to talk about it, that she had imagined it all. But then she found other people·s stories on the Internet. She got in touch with them and realised 'Oh my God, that was real'.
"Others I've met never doubted it. They say the experience opened up new horizons for them."

The children are clearly being honest and I concur with the psychologists' assessment that no deception is at play, here. What does one make out of the facts that there is virtually no media influence of ETs in Africa, that 62 kids have tightly agreeing accounts, and that there is no cause for deceit? It is amazing that the details of the kids' stories are so very similar.... I am completely convinced, they saw an extraterrestrial spacecraft on that day....
ruwa is a domitory city less than 40km outside the capital city. ariel school is an equipped school. it did happen and it was all over the news, radio, print media. a story for english comprehension was actually inspired by the sightings. i believe it happened, so curb saying the kids were fooled or they are rural kids.
Sorry to break this up, but it could be that people in costume that they've seen. Not necessarily aliens... Just another possibility Yes, they did speak the truth...
@benkenser why would people dress up in costumes in rural africa to deceive a large group of children? who would they be impressing with this "joke"? and how do you explain the craft that the children saw?
The same reason people made those fake UFO footage. There had been many cases that had been proved to be hoax. Many admitted it too Craft? Simple huge balloon made UFO and light here and there will do. Easy to fool kids How did these kids got on TV?

I believe that the movie industry or comic books had already came up with them in 94.
Tell me if i'm wrong.
Yeah, kids do say the strangest things.
