ADULT TESTIMONIES |
(around Sep-Oct 1994)
Two TV crews visited Ariel in the weeks after the incident. The children were interviewed in large groups. These snippets are out of order, with each child's testimony grouped. I've included screenshots of the children so that any footage uncovered later can be slotted into the correct interview.
New details added to the story in these interviews:

New details added to the story in these interviews:
- a cigar-shaped or round UFO was seen in the sky on Thursday, and three boys saw it in the air on Friday
- one boy describes a silver thing in the sky lasting 45 seconds, which he thought was a meteorite, and the same thing on Friday.
- the craft that had landed was patterned silver and green, or yellow, purple and green, or it was glittering orangey-red, or maroon
- some heard a flute-like noise
- four girls went close enough to consider and dismiss the idea it was a house
- the figure had a big head, and a small mouth and nose, height as small as 3.5 feet
- there were two figures, one with hair and one without
- one figure sat on the craft "guarding" it, another ran in slow motion
- Guy says there were burn marks on Tuesday that were gone a few minutes later, and dead ants. (Gunter Hofer who was with him reported no physical evidence.)
- Candice speculates the aliens want to communicate with us that "something is gonna happen"
- Salma says she was a meter away from the alien - no other children report seeing anyone get that close
Interviews with Nicole Carter (SABC)
According to Ariel Phenomenon, Nicole Carter interviewed the children 2 weeks after the incident.
NICOLE: We’re going to speak to a few of you who did see something that day and ask you what happened, what you felt when you saw it, that sort of thing. Very very casual. You must just say exactly what you want to say, okay.

BOY in beige hat
You saw something in the sky, the day before the Friday that everybody saw it at the school. Can you describe that?
Well it was a silver oval thing that flew past really slowly. And then all of a sudden it disappeared.
How long did you see it for?
It was about 45 seconds.
And what did you think it was?
Well I just thought it was - because of the meteorites, there were reports of meteorites. I thought it was one of those. And then the following day when we saw it at the school, then I thought I saw it the day before.
And did it look the same on the Friday?
Yes it did.
So you think it was the same one.
Yes.
And do you believe people can live on other planets, as well as Earth?
Yes.
Why do you think that?
Well they've found plants and that living on other planets, so if there are plants living on planets then I think other people can.

CLAIRE R
What were you doing on the day?

We saw this black figure running in slow motion.
[cut]
And how big was the figure?
It was about as big as a grade six. [The average 12-year-old child is 5' tall.]

MISC/UNKNOWN
GIRL 2: We saw two of them, one was standing in front of the ship and the other one had long hair. But the one standing in front didn’t have any hair at all.
LISEL P
We saw this like - a silver thing down there.
[cut]
We saw him standing by the silver thing. And he had big eyes.
[cut]
There’s another one, he was a bit short.
[cut]
My friends and I, we ran down to the teacher’s and we went into the office and started telling the teachers. And then they said maybe there’s nothing.
How did that make you feel when they said maybe there’s nothing?
Well we felt very sad because we did see something.
And what did the headmaster say - Mr Mackie?
Um, Mr Mackie said that maybe there was something down there but he didn’t really know.
[cut]
[---] But the children can’t lie, they tell the truth.

SALMA S
What did the spacemen look like?
He looked like, definitely not a human, I don’t know really. He had a big head and big black eyes and was dressed in a black bodysuit, tight fitting.
And what were his arms and hands and legs like?
Like a human’s but he definitely didn’t look like one, his head was much too big.
[cut]
How far away were you when you saw him?
Uh, not very far. Not very far. About a meter away.
A meter away? That close?
Yes.

TERTIA N
(This girl's identity is an educated guess based on similar testimony being attributed to Tertia N by Hind, Tertia's attributed drawing showing sightings over two days, and the fact she has an older brother with a matching surname reported by Michael Hesemann who misnames her Trisha.)
[She is referring to the Thursday sighting]
A few of my friends and I were sitting in the playground eating our lunch and Emily said first - she said, “Oh there’s a UFO!” She didn’t really think it was a UFO because I mean it was going along slowly. And then we all looked and we thought, “yeah that is a UFO.” It flew along for about a minute or so, and then it disappeared but it looked like a cigar, a cigarette.
What did your other friends say?
They were scared. We wanted to tell the teachers but some of us were too shy to.

GUY G
And I came down and I saw a funny man with his eyes here [touches cheeks] and I saw a spaceship and there were a few little ones around it.
[cut]
I saw a man with his eyes here [touches cheeks] and I saw a few space- I saw the bigger one and a spaceship, like four or five of them, like crowding around it, and then after a few minutes, a couple of minutes, they just disappeared, like, just went.
[cut]
He looked like - these people like you see in a diving suit, a really shiny one, and he looked like he was dressed in that. And his eyes were down here [cheeks] and he was looking really really funny.
[cut]
When I went home the day after this incident had happened, I told my mum and she said, actually I don’t believe you but I can’t really say yes, I know, but she said I really don’t think I believe you. And then she said - my dad came home and I told him all about this and he said it was probably just a rumor. I felt really upset because I knew that it was true.
Would you want to talk about it to friends in the future? Or forget about it?
No I don’t want to forget about it. I want to keep it in because I know it was true and I want to talk to other people about it.

EMMA K
I thought no, it's not a UFO, and then I looked carefully at it and I thought maybe.
[cut]
I saw one big one and then quite a few little ones scattered all around.
How many are quite a few?
Hmm.
About? 2 or 3 or 4?
About - four.
What were the little ones doing?
They were very still, and then I saw them also disappear. They went about a meter off the ground and then they just vanished.
And what happened to the big one?
The big one did the same.

CANDICE A
Maybe they're trying to communicate with us or trying to tell us something. I think they’re trying to tell us something which is gonna happen. I think they chose us.* I think that they’re good people because they’re showing us all these things that other people don’t believe in. And we’re not too sure if we’ve seen these things, and other people don’t actually believe us sometimes, so maybe there are - [cuts off] ...show us something which we don't know about.
*This video cuts is poor quality and does not include this sentence, but Michael Hesemann apparently saw the original and included it in his translation.

CYNTHIA HIND
How long have you been investigating?
Well about 17 years. I’m the continental coordinator in Africa for MUFON. MUFON has over 5000 members, most of whom are scientists.
You interviewed the children, what was your conclusion?
I believe them. I believe they saw what they said they saw. I think that perhaps some have been influenced by others and they’ve added a little bit here and a little bit there, but basically they drew in their drawings many things that I don’t think they could know about.
[cut]
As an investigator I’ve learned that if they tell exactly the same story then there’s corroboration, they’ve got together and they’re doing it. But if they tell a similar story but from different viewpoints, to me that’s the truth.

MR MACKIE
[---] state what they did see, but I am sure that they personally are convinced that they saw something and it was something not common or not part of nature. I am skeptical about the whole situation, but I do believe that it could be life on other planets [breaks up]

Interviews with Jill Darke (ZBC News)
Date unknown, but Hind reports in her newsletter it was after the South African TV interview: "Zimbabwe Television, a little slow off the mark, were there with their cameraman, Producer, and Presenter Jill Darke."
LISEL P
... About a grade 6's size.
Can you describe what he looked like?
Um well, I couldn’t see his nose, his nose was quite small. And his mouth was quite small. His eyes were shaped like [demonstrates] kinda pointy[?].

GUY G
…it’s swimming[?] around down there, so I went down to see what was happening. And I actually saw this craft in the trees and it was like in a multi-way pattern on it, like silver and green and that sort of color. And then there was this little boy crying so I went up to him to see what was wrong with him and he said he was quite afraid of it. And then that actually made me quite afraid of it because when somebody’s afraid, I get afraid. And then I saw this person and his eyes were like in a slant [traces cheeks], like so, and his mouth was just a line like this.
At the time the teachers were in a staff meeting. So nobody actually went up to go and call the teachers because I think they were too afraid and everything. So - when the bell rang - so somebody eventually went up to one of the teachers, went and said to one of our teachers Mr Vernon[sp?], please can you ring the bell because there’s quite a performance down there, the kids running around.
[Referring to Monday/Tuesday 19-20th] And then somebody from BBC came to us and he went for a walk down there with us with a Geiger counter [referring to Tuesday]. And actually on that [---] over there we could stand up on it, and you could actually see a few burn marks. So he asked us when we were walking down there with him, he said please could you come down with us to go and have a look at the thing. So we walked about - there’s about six poles and if you have a look, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, there were burn marks actually on the ground.
[Referring to Friday 16th] And in the field there on the rocks, the day it happened, there was something glittering quite strongly. And then when we came back to school the next day it was just gone.
[Referring to Tuesday 20th] And also when we went down with him, the burn marks they were just gone like a few minutes later.
How long did you experience this whole happening?
I think it was about 5½ minutes when we went down there. Because it was actually quite scary.
[cut]
Guy has a last mention of something very interesting to discuss.
Mrs Darke, we need to go down there with our teacher Mr Vernon. It’s a walk for our Content study. We’ve got a dam, it’s actually empty at the moment. And we go down there to get some clay and pieces of art. It’s actually quite interesting because there’s usually ants that crawl on us and bite us. And when we went down there with the BBC we were walking around and we came back and there were quite a few ant hills and I told them, look, there was not a single ant. There were a few dead ones on the floor.
["Mr. Mackie felt that the lack of ants was due to the drought in Zimbabwe at that time, and I could find no one to confirm or deny his statement." (Hind, UFOs Over Africa, 1996, p.213)]

I was at the tuck shop over there and then I saw [---] so I went there and I looked. And I saw this ship and it had this light, like a pattern - yellow, purple and green. Keep on going around. And then something running across, something on the ship that moved. When I looked more down, when I looked like straight in the grass, just some like alien thing. He had big eyes like what Guy was saying here.
Do you agree with the other two, that the eyes were slanting -
Yes.
- the mouth was rather thin, the nose was small, and it was about how tall, would you estimate?
Maybe about three-and-a-half feet.
But you agree with the other descriptions?
Yes.

Suddenly I saw this glittering thing, well my friend Kayleigh saw it. It had orangey-red like glittering thing except when moving at the side. And I saw like a black thing sitting on top of it. I don’t know if it was a branch or the thing - the part of the alien where it was sitting on. But I don’t know.

Candice, please tell us what happened that very exciting day.
Me and my friends Claire, Hailey & Camilla were just walking and then we saw this maroon color just waving about and it was disappearing & disappearing. And we started to follow it. And then we stood over there on one of the logs and we saw like this silver thing. We decided that we should go down there and see, but Claire said we’re not allowed there. So I said I don’t - it doesn’t matter, let’s just go and see.
And we got closer and closer and we saw this silver thing just shining, and we thought it was just a house with glass reflecting in the sun and shining, but then we thought, no it can’t be that because there’s no houses up there on the rocks. Then we waited for a few minutes and we just stared at it and we heard this flute, sort of like a flute noise. And then we got closer and closer. And then we saw this - I saw this black figure running in slow motion. And then I didn’t want to see it so I looked away and I looked again and it wasn’t there anymore.

You see, when the bell rang, me, Gary and Portia were supposed to practice for assembly that day, so we were called out by Stefan, that’s one of our friends, and he called us and he said he saw something. So we went - I didn’t actually believe that he saw something, because he was saying it was an alien.
And so I went out, and then when I was looking at it, I saw it’s like a silver light, like that kind of spaceship you showed me, just coming up, just for an instant and then it just disappeared just like that. And so I first thought it was my imagination because everybody was talking about it, but then when I thought about it, really, I thought no it couldn’t be.

MARLE? (friend of Farai & Barry)
“Well the night before I saw this cigar-shaped spacecraft - I’ve got it in my picture but it wasn’t exactly like a cigar shape. I thought it was a circle. Then the day after that I saw it in the air again with my friends Farai and Barry.
What did you see that morning here at school?
These other children were running. I asked them what it was and they said it was a UFO. I ran with them to the logs over there. Then I saw one person sitting on top of the ship guarding it, and another one running up and down like he was confused. And he was actually looking at us. But some people said there’s another property over there right at the back, it’s Mrs Nurse’s property. Some people say that it was Mrs Nurse’s gardener. Some people say there’s a house over there, but I don’t believe it because I saw. I went up with the BBC. As you know already from other answers that things were all dead. He said there was radiation but - huh. ["In actual fact, this is incorrect. Gunter Hofer did test for
radiation, but no excess radiation showed up on the dial." (Hind, UFOs Over Africa, 1996, p. 227)]
Marle[sp?], you believe that there’s no house that would be near enough that all the children could see this so close to the playground?
No because on Monday when we went there again, there was none.
