On September 14, 1994, there were UFO sightings all over South Africa. On September 16, 1994, at the expensive Private Aerial School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, 62 children (6-12 yrs. old) were playing outside while their teachers were at a meeting.
They saw a UFO descend from the sky and land on a field near their school. Some children noticed four-foot-tall aliens wearing black space suits with substantial black eyes approaching them.
The creatures communicated with them telepathically. Their message was about Earth’s pending environmental doom and warned them that technology and pollution must stop.
Though the teachers and their parents were dismissive of their story and the children’s different cultures gave rise to their interpretations, their stories were accurate. And, when a BBC reporter, interviewed some children, they were asked to draw what they saw. Their pictures and stories were all similar.
Later, BBC reporter Tim Leach recruited John Mack, Head of the Harvard Psychiatry Department and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author who built a reputation investigating alien abductions. Due to his credentials and experience it would bring credibility to his reporting and get to the bottom of this issue. A few weeks later, Mack and a filmmaker arrived.
He believed the children. Unfortunately, he died before he could put it all together.
Mack’s family asked Director/Producer Randall Nickerson, who calls himself a “witnesser” rather than a believer, to take over the project. “I didn’t have to believe it because I saw it,” Nickerson explained.
Nickerson, considered to be a realist doesn’t like to discuss it, but he had experienced a few UFO encounters when he was a child. He says he was “extraordinarily isolated, and nobody could understand or explain what he saw.”
Over 15 years, Nickerson and his team interviewed the children and pored through hours of video interviews Mack had done with them. He realized this was a much bigger story than a short film and the strangest and most haunting UFO sighting ever recorded.
