#29 - The Ariel School UFO Landing of 1994

Imagine over 60 children claiming to witness a UFO landing and telepathic communication with strange beings. You might be inclined to believe it to be an urban legend, but that's exactly what happened at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe in 1994.

During recess, dozens of schoolchildren witnessed a shocking sight: A silvery craft swooped down from the sky, landing in a field beyond the playground. Small, large-headed beings emerged, delivering a chilling message: a telepathic warning about Earth's bleak future caused by human environmental neglect.

Nearly 30 years later, most of the witnesses, now as adults, claim that the experience was real and as serious as a heart attack, and some still suffer from PTSD because of it.

But was it all real, or merely imagined?

Join Ivan and Nate as they journey to the majestic continent of Africa and try to get to the bottom of this most legendary close encounter of the 3rd kind.
