Ariel school landing
Friday, 16th of September 1994 was a clear and sunny day. By 10:00am the children of Ariel school were let out for the mid-day break. The teachers were all in a staff-room for the weekly teachers meeting and the only adult was Mrs Alyson Kirkman, who was running the tuckshop.

Shortly after 10:00am a few of the children noticed something strange beyond the playground. Although the ground around the school has been cleared, beyond the playground area was thick with tall grass and bushes, behind which is a rocky area and a small hill or kopji (see pic below). 

 
The small hill or kopji, were we saw a bright light. Later when we investigated I could not find the source of the light. This was now three days after the childrens sitting. In the above picture I added the light in the approximate location where we saw it. 

Some of the children ran up to the tuck shop talking excitedly about a small man running around, but Mrs Kirkman was totally sceptical. She refused to leave the shop! Her child (10 y), later told her that they had seen a small object land about 100m (300feet) from where she was. 

In the meantime, out of the 250 children at the school, more than 60 children saw three or four objects coming into the rough bush area. Several of the children saw a disc shaped objects come in and finally land in the rough, among the trees. From one or more of the crafts two small entities emerged. They were about one metre tall, dressed in a shiny one-piece black suit

Finally the two entities returned into their craft which lifted about one metre off the ground and disappeared!
