That 1994 Ariel school event and two others

Tommy Kelly placed this on Facebook the other day, noting Preston Dennett’s book listing school and children witnessing what appear to be UFO activity.

The above appeared within the commentary of my FB note with a possible explanation from Dominick and  Bryan Daum, regulars here. They suggested that the incident should be examined to make sure it wasn’t a military ex- periment or student prank.
 
(As you know, those two offerings brought forward a barrage of comments insisting the Ariel episode was an extraterrestrial intrusion.)
 
The other night, YouTube notified me of a recent Ariel video pertaining to the 1994 events specifically. (How did YT know I was dealing with the matter? I hadn’t gone near that service looking for anything remotely connected to Ariel or UFOs.)
 
The short YT documentary, with relevant images and details, did not lead me to see the event as an ET oriented account, nor a student prank or military spoof. What the children saw was truly bizarre.
 
Near the termination of the video, the 1966 Westall, Australia school UFO incident was covered along with an account of a 1964 (I think) school episode at a school in Dade County (north of Miami) in the U.S.
 
Both reported tales are interesting and as bizarre as – the Westall report particularly – the Ariel incident.
 
Studying these reported incidents shows us that the UFO phe- nomenon is beyond a reasonable explanation, even one that tilts toward an interplanetary intrusion.
 
Some of the witness-related accounts, in each episode, carried a mystical, even Medieval-like rendition with a religious or mytho- logical cloak.
I’ll provide, if anyone is interested, those “details” from the kids that smack of neither a stunt or ET-scenario, but do point to something beyond normality, as recounted by psychologists (Foucault) and fairy-lore experts (David Clarke) in their writings.
 
That UFO enthusiasts miss such arcane connections is not unexpected. UFO-oriented fans are pretty much ill-read and ignorant in the literature (and studies) that smack of UFO-like encounters from the past (and even currently).
 
Ariel is an interesting UFO case study as John Mack thought and documentarian Jim Fox (and other cognoscenti) know.
 
To leave it on the table for UFO newbies and quidnuncs to ruminate upon is just a kind of intellectual delirium itself.
