Alien encounter-62 witnesses

They have invisible friends, too.

Children giving accounts of fanciful events? How is this possible? It is a known fact children don't lie, so these accounts of aliens are therefore true!
 
The twelve children we interviewed over the course of two days all described the same event with a steady consistency of detail.

Well, the kids' drawings of the craft and aliens are consistent... consistently different. ;)

Tells me that they didn't see what it was very clearly if there was something there to see.

But we are also told it was the size of a thumbnail at arm's length and in an area 100 meters away so that means it's about the size of a car at 100 meters.

But you wouldn't be getting so much variation in the details of the drawings if that was true as a car at 100 meters is easily seen.

So... some things sure don't add up...

Get a life Ian. Sock puppets are for children.
 
From http://www.ufoevidence.org/Other/ArielSchool/ArielSchool.htm

There is a line of electricity pylons and according to one boy, the object followed along this line prior to landing. There is also some controversy as to whether the object _landed_ on the ground or hovered above it. On Tuesday, 20th September, I went out to the school with a BBC reporter and their television equipment, as well as my son and Gunter Hofer, a young man who builds his own electrical equipment, viz, a Geiger counter, a metal detector and a magnetometer, to try and see if the object left any traces behind.

One of ball lightning’s most common behaviors is to ride along electrical wire as the boy describes.
 
It seems to me that the school is encouraging this nonsense. If my child were attending, I'd have some words with the teachers.
 
Dr John Mack was visiting Zimbabwe at the time of the event, and he spent two days at Ariel School with the children....

...his particular interest in child psychiatry was also of great use during the questioning and many former hidden memories came to light, something John is sure to make public when he has had a chance to reassess his interviewing.(sic)

He can remember it for you wholesale? :D
 
Yeah, so Mack's little pilgrimage quite conveniently introduced the cultural element, a little too conveniently.

It would be cool if all this alien stuff turned out to be true, but I'm keeping my expectations low.
 
I think this part of the article is interesting:

Dominique Callimanopulos, were able to get through to the parents and teachers and convince them that even if they did not believe the children, it was counter-productive to accuse them of lying. Listen and think about what they were saying, he advised. His particular interest in child psychiatry was also of great use during the questioning and many former hidden memories came to light, something John is sure to make public when he has had a chance to reassess his interviewing.

I think in a very large degree this interviewer has implanted his own bias into the children's stories, probably unwittingly.

Edited to add: Ooops, I see wipeout have already quoted the same. Ah well.

"Listen and think about what they were saying, he advised. His particular interest in child psychiatry was also of great use during the questioning and many former hidden memories came to light, something John is sure to make public when he has had a chance to reassess his interviewing."

Something perhaps even more telling ....... a tendency to accept the bias, based on "his particular interest in child psychiatry," which was "of great use during the questioning"?
