More than sixty students at Ariel School reported observing an unusual craft and beings near their school playground during morning recess.
On September 16, 1994, students at Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe reported observing one or more unusual aerial objects descending near a wooded area adjacent to the school grounds. Numerous children later described seeing a structured craft and one or more humanoid beings. Witness accounts were collected shortly after the event by investigators, and many of the students produced drawings depicting what they had observed. The Ariel School case remains one of the most widely discussed mass-witness UFO incidents in history.
