More than three decades after one of the most famous alleged UFO encounters in history, a new witness has emerged to share what he says happened at Ariel School in Zimbabwe in 1994. Interestingly, of all people, the witness has decided to tell his story to former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre.
Then again, several years ago, Georges St-Pierre revealed that he once had a mysterious UFO encounter while traveling in New Mexico with several other fighters, one of whom corroborated his story. Since then, St-Pierre has spoken about the UFO encounter a few times and also talked about his fears of being abducted by aliens.
In the case of the Ariel School, witness Paul Trim was 11-years-old at the time of the alleged UFO encounter, and he believes that he saw a spaceship and three aliens. He wasn’t the only one to make this claim either.
In fact, 62 children, aged six to twelve, at the Ariel School, a private school in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, said they saw strange silver objects land in a field near their playground on September 16, 1994.
Some students said they met humanoid-like beings with large black eyes. They claimed that these beings spoke to them in their minds, not with words. They supposedly told the children to be careful not to harm the environment or misuse technology.
Ariel School UFO Witness Describes Seeing Three Alien Beings
During his interview with Georges St-Pierre, Paul Trim recalled being in the school garden during morning recess when frightened children began running towards him.
So, as one of the school’s older students and a prefect, he decided to investigate. He claims that what he saw was something straight out of a science fiction movie.
Trim described a saucer-shaped object sitting in a nearby field, about a football field away. Three small, thin beings stood near the spaceship. He also claimed that when the aliens moved, they did so with unusual smoothness, almost as though they were floating.
“What stuck with me, they had some sort of black suit on and they had these big, big eyes,” Trim recalled.
Eventually, Trim said the aliens entered the craft through what looked like a ramp or some type of energy field. Then the UFO took off.
“It was like a flash of light and this thing was out of here right away,” he said.
The Children Allegedly Received Telepathic Warnings About Earth’s Future
Paul Trim also said that several children, including his younger sister, claimed they received telepathic warnings about humanity’s treatment of the planet and the possible dangers of technology.
He also explained why it took him more than three decades to discuss what happened publicly. Trim said teachers showed the children frightening videos about alien abductions following the incident, leaving him terrified to talk about his experience.
Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack later interviewed several of the students, many of whom continued to stand by their claims.
One child told Mack that the aliens telepathically warned him “about something that’s going to happen.” Another claimed to have been told that because people are not protecting the environment, the world will end.
Paul’s Trim’s sister, Emily, shared paintings in 2016, claiming they were a “manifestation of the messages she received” from the entities that day.
Not Everyone Agrees About What Happened
At least one former student claims the entire story is made up, and no physical evidence proves aliens actually visited Ariel School. Paul Trim, though, remains convinced he witnessed something not of this world.
“Without a doubt, something happened that day,” he said. “I was there. I saw something happen. The hard part is how do you explain that?”
