The morning of 16th September 1994 began like any other for the children and teachers of Ariel School in Zimbabwe.

    Adults often time do not give children enough credit. They can be very perceptive if something affects them greatly. They were obviously “traumatized” by the event yet composed. It’s sad what had happened to Dr. Mack but one day he will be vindicated. There are too many closed-minded fools in leadership roles or greed is their salvation.

    Dr Young hae Chi has written about slender insectoid aliens creating alien Human hybrids to survive the coming near extinction. These interdimensional creatures are in the Quantum spin-foam between perceivable dimensions…….w-i zulux999

    Interesting that “the trees going down” is what is happening throughout the world today.
    Hopefully the visitors can return with some information to help us prevent this ccatasrophe, or how to correct the damage.

    When and where can this film be watched. I heard about this case some 15 years ago and I also cant understand that there is not nearly enough publicity about such a starting experience from so many people!
