comments in my posting about John Greenewald Jr.’s Black Vault show with
Randall Nickerson who’s made a scintillating documentary about the 1994 Ariel
School (in Zimbabwe) UFO encounter that many consider a real (actual) episode
of extraterrestrial contact with humans:

Jim Fox has also provided a slice of the incident in his recent UFO documentary, The Phenomenon.
And noted (now deceased) Harvard psychiatrist, John Mack, visited the area and interviewed the school children who engaged with beings that emerged from the UFOs that allegedly landed near their school ground.
And others have poured over the event, thinking, mostly, that what the school children said they saw, they really did see. No one was confabulating a tale.
And explanation has mostly fallen into the current idea that alien/extraterrestrial visitors dropped in upon the school children at Ariel in 1994.
I tended to agree, even though I’m no fan of the UFO/ET hypothe- sis as you know.
And now Dominick and Bryan Daum suggest that the event was staged either by the military or college/high school students as a kind of prank:
“What other explanation (other than ET) could there be for this episode? Several explanations were discarded (mass hallucinations; falling space debris, etc.) but what was never mentioned was something rather obvious, something that has come up in similar episodes: that the encounter was a carefully staged (military, intelligence) event…” [Dominick]
"Besides the military staging, and more likely to me, would be by some crafty high school or college kids. Back to Occam -and little kids would be easy.” [Daum]

The idea of a staged event has grit or muscle as I see it, now. Nick Redfern should weigh in as he has lots of knowledge of MK Ultra mischief of a like kind.
Maybe the episode needs more scrutiny as the Dominick/Bryan Daum speculation weighs heavily as a possibility, does it not?
