In 1994, dozens of school children witnessed a UFO in Ruwa, Zimbabwe. A BBC war reporter and a Harvard psychologist did extensive interviewing and reporting of those involved in the incident. A compelling documentary of one of the best documented mass-sightings in history, Ariel Phenomenon includes primary sources and corroborating witnesses testimony taken decades later by Nickerson. "What happens when you experience something so extraordinary that nobody believes you?"

 

Q&A with Director to follow... what’s known publicly, and how did it look behind the scenes?


Part of the YSUS Fall Event Series.

 

Presented by the Yale Student UFO Society.
