The definitive account of one of the most compelling mass UFO sightings in history.
On September 16, 1994, at approximately 10:15 AM, the children of Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, were enjoying their morning break. What they witnessed next would change their lives forever.
A silver, disc-shaped craft descended from the sky and landed on open ground near the playground. Small, humanoid figures with large eyes emerged. They communicated telepathically, sending warnings about technology, the environment, and the future of humanity. Then the craft rose and vanished.
The children's testimony has never wavered. Decades later, their accounts remain consistent. They are certain of what they saw.
In "When Children Saw Aliens" investigative journalist Alex R. Morgan tells the full story of the Zimbabwe School Sighting. Drawing on exclusive interviews with the now-adult witnesses, original reports, and the investigation by Harvard psychiatrist John Mack, Morgan reconstructs that extraordinary morning and explores the questions that remain unanswered.
Why did the beings come to children? What were their messages? Why does this case remain so compelling decades later?
This is a story about wonder and fear. About childhood and belief. About the possibility that sometimes, the most extraordinary things happen in the most ordinary places.
Perfect for readers of investigative journalism, UFO literature, and stories of the unexplained.
