Over 60 primary school students in Zimbabwe (in 1994) saw an Unidentified Flying Object land just past their athletic field.
Who: 62 primary school students
What: They experienced a close encounter of the third kind (CE3 both).
When: 19 September 1994, 12:12pm
Where: Ariel Primary School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe.
Many ran to where it landed. Some stood directly in front of the extra-terrestrial beings and saw them face to face. Some claimed the ETs communicated with them telepathically.
There is consistency in their stories. As eyewitnesses, they all saw these extra-terrestrial creatures--all at the same time, and at the same place. Some of their recollections were that their eyes were very large, limbs were small, height was small in stature. Their mouths were very small, like a slit.
Today, twenty years later, these now, grown adults, still attest to this experience as a reality in their lives. What they saw 20 years ago still affects them even till this day. Many of them now live in the USA, UK, Canada, and countries around the world. They are teachers, social workers, lawyers, artists, business owners, and many other occupations and professions. These 62 people are real people.
Dr. Kaiser Tarafdar, MD, gave the following points (here) that these were marks of authenticity:
"1). The uncanny consistency of the details of what was observed.
2). The genuine fear that affected so many children of different backgrounds who witnessed this.
3). The roles this incident played in the lives of many of the children which could never have gone that deep if the incident they witnessed had never happened! It continued to affect their adult lives over the decades…
4). The remarkable consistencies of the sketches, and the drawings that the children had made when asked to do so…
5). They apparently warned the children about damages done to the environment by people, and that humans faced more danger.
6). There were minor differences in the children’s accounts of the event that could be attributed to their different backgrounds which also meant that they had witnessed a real event that they agreed on in most of the details when interviewed independently of each other…
7). Children of different age groups gave nearly the same account of the incident, which suggest a single unique event.
8)… it was mostly the younger children who called it “Tokoloshe” a more immediately familiar ‘goblin-like’ character (with large head, large eyes, thin limbs, and short heights) to the younger children who would hear about it from their parents or grandparents in their earlier years…"
In the court of law, eyewitnesses are of utmost importance. Without eyewitnesses, a case would be less likely supported. Can one discredit the memories of these now adults who profess what they had seen together at the same place on the same day 20 years ago? I would think not. Especially if their stories were consistent.
Now, 20 years later, their testimony still holds water. If I were to wager, I would think they would hold even more influence in their testimony today than when they were 10–13 year old children.
As children, they had been dismissed by their teachers and perhaps even by their parents. Today, it has probably changed. If each of them were to testify of what they had seen 20 years ago, I personally think they would be believable and stand as credible witnesses.
