On 15 September 1994, a group of schoolchildren from the Ariel Primary School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, were playing during morning break in their playground, unsupervised as staff members were in a meeting with the Headmaster. They all reported seeing a purple flashing light in the sky, before a large disc-shaped UFO appeared and slowly descended into a empty field nearby. Forty four children, out of the 100 which witnessed the event, each described what happened in their own way, and, although the accounts differed slightly from child to child, the unerring portions were pieced together to produce a disturbing account of the events that morning by UFO investigators.

A large glowing disc landed about 220 yards away in the empty field, on three- legged landing gear. It was surrounded by yellow lights or portholes. Balls of light (or miniature discs) flew around for a short time, before three beings emerged from the craft. Described as humanoid, around four feet tall and wearing shiny black, tight, one-piece suits, moving in a "slow wobbling" motion, two of them approached the children who had not run away. They had dark faces and large black "cat-like" eyes. Several children said they heard messages when they looked into those eyes, explaining they had visited to warn that humans were destroying the planet, and the children could help stop the damage. Once the message was imparted, the creatures boarded their craft, which started to flash, before disappearing in a flash of light.

Many children went to the staff room to get the attention of the teachers, but they were still in their meeting. The only adult about was Alyson Kirkman, who ran the tuck shop. She thought the children were joking, as did the teachers when they were told. But so many of the children all told a similar story, and some were visibly shaken, that finally investigators were called in. All children interviewed were asked to draw a picture of what they had seen, and all the pictures were extremely similar. Many children who had heard the "message" went on to take part in ecological projects.

On the same day, in Mexico, around 8 pm, air traffic controllers reported UFO activity over Metapec. Soon, hundreds of people were reporting seeing a UFO hovering over rooftops in Metapec. Two sisters, Sara and Erika Cuevas, were driving back to their home in Metapec. As they approached the town they could see a red disc around 70 feet in diameter in the sky. Upon reaching their home, they ran inside for their video camera, only to find that it was not working, along with any electrical appliance in the house. They went up onto the roof to get a better view of the UFO, still in the sky. As they watched, two smaller craft shot out and away from it, and landed in a field near their house. Two hours later, seven smaller discs appeared and began darting round the field, flattening the maize stalks into a geometric pattern, until one disc exploded, shooting hundreds of tiny balls, similar to eyes.

Investigators arrived the following day, together with dozens of reporters, and a helicopter overflew the crop field, filming the strange pattern. Despite all the activity, Sara's husband refused to accept her story of the previous nights' events, so she vowed to stay up all night with the video camera in case the UFO returned to get evidence. Erika volunteered to wait with her, and, in the early hours of the morning, the two sisters saw a glow about 30 yards away in the field. At first they thought it was a light, but as they edged closer to get a better view, they saw it was a glowing figure, standing in the middle of the strange pattern from the previous night. Sara recorded three minutes of video tape, on the video camera which now worked, showing the figure standing still in the centre of the field, before it suddenly vanished. Quite clearly, on the soundtrack of the video, can be heard the sisters' reactions to what they saw.

"What is it? That's horrible. Oh my God....Erika, it's so ugly" Sara said. The video tape has been analysed by Professor Victor Quesada at the University of Mexico's Polytechnical Institute. He reports that the creature is around 4 feet tall, twenty five yards from the camera, and not human. The light emanated from the creature itself. Computer enhancements revealed a terrifying large, insect-like head with a small proboscis or antenna, and it was carrying some kind of instrument. Soil and plant samples were taken from the field which were analysed. Both soil temperature and radiation was much higher than in the surrounding areas, with radiation levels at 350 per cent higher than the background. The leaves of plants in the area had undergone strange cellular changes. No theories were put forward as to what had been caught on video.

Why do I get the feeling this amazing video has never seen the light of day
