Unexplained History

The Day 62 Children Said a UFO Landed at Their School

Episode Description from the Publisher

On September 16, 1994, dozens of children at Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, said they had seen something extraordinary beyond their playground. Silver objects. Small figures. Eyes they struggled to describe. Their teachers had been inside. Before Harvard psychiatrist John Mack arrived, the story had already passed through parents, a headmaster, a television camera, and a collection of drawings. Unexplained History follows that early trail, examines three surviving drawing reproductions, and returns to the witnesses as adults. The final segment brings the records together to ask what the accounts establish, how the interviews were conducted, and whether believing a witness requires accepting the witness's explanation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unexplained-history--6429156/support.🎧 Unexplained History explores the myths, mysteries, and misunderstood moments that shaped our world.
