and extraordinary now let's get right into it it was an ordinary school day in the small town of Rua Zimbabwe when something extraordinary occurred on September 16th 1994 at around 105 a.m. over 60 school children from the aerial School witnessed an inexplicable event that would forever change their lives the witnesses described the beings as looking like typical gray aliens that are commonly depicted in UFO related stories hang down over there on the on the log yeah and then we saw something shiny so we all ran down over there and it was in the early morning it was at break time yeah and then we saw something shining and we saw two two people they were in black tight black suit and they had big eyes and a small we didn't actually see their nose but it was quite small and their mouth was quite small as well one of them was running in slow motion after the sighting the children rushed back to their teachers and Friends eager to share what they had witnessed the teachers were initially skeptical but soon realized the sincerity and consistency of the children's accounts the children were interviewed by local UFO researcher Cynthia hind the day after the event throwing her it look like this yeah something like that I couldn't see the eyes or the nose or the mouth it was just blank like a piece of paper I thought they were crazy just coming to our school doing nothing and all I saw was something like like silver coming down and I said what must that be like sort like a round shape sort like a plate like two plates that was sort like on top of each other then there was sort like the um whole the hatch for it and there was sort like in between two trees what hin found curious was that the students who had diverse backgrounds though all from wealthy families as tuition was expensive describe similar features to the figures and UFO despite interpreting the phenomenon in wildly different ways based on their own upbringing some thought that the Figures were zwo spirits of humans raised by magic or toosi evil Goblin creatures of Shona and anday folklore Hine believes these different interpretations accompanied by similar drawings and descriptions gave more credibility to the idea that the children had all seen a similar event she also believed that the kids would not have had access to Media about UFOs which could have tainted their test testimony or planted similar images in their imaginations telling the TV show sightings a lot of these children don't go to the movies they live in the country parents are farmers the argument being that if they had not encountered these images before and then described something similar it gives more credibility to their Alien Encounter being real the news of the ruway UFO sighting quickly gained International attention imagine hypothetically if a UFO or several UFOs landed at a school in broad daylight in Ru Zimbabwe Africa and interacted telepathically with nearly 100 school children how significant of a story would you give that well not only that they had the same message yes investigators and UFO researchers ared to question the children and document their testimonies the Rua case is particularly compelling due to the large number of witnesses all describing a similar event independently the consisten in their stories makes this a very significant UFO encounter the incident was even covered by Major media outlets at the time if you had that scene in a movie it would take like a really good actor to pull it off and they'd probably need multiple takes they'd probably want to get the best one but those kids the way they were talking about it and the way they were drawing it you're like wow it really does seem like something happened to them however despite the massive interest in the case it remains an unsolved mystery some Skeptics have tried to dismiss the sighting as a man Mass hallucination or a hoax but the witnesses stand firm in their accounts one team documenting cases of mass hysteria in Africa at around this time period says we should be able to label this and similar incidents as mass hysteria without investigating too much further and that's where the story stands today still captivating UFO enthusiasts and researchers around the world the Rua Zimbabwe UFO sighting remains an intriguing Enigma leaving us to wonder about the possibility of
