Encounter in Ruwa: The Ariel School UFO Sighting (Documentary Film Project)

In 1994, Dr John Mack and research associate Dominique Callimanopulos traveled to Zimbabwe to research one of the most extraordinary group sightings of a UFO in recent times. At the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, 60 children reported seeing a landed UFO during recess. In 2007, Dominique Callimanopulos and Randall Nickerson began production of an edited video program presenting John Mack’s interviews with the schoolchildren and faculty. The film became a consuming passion of Nickerson’s, and he spent 9 months in Africa to broaden the scope of the film far beyond our initial expectations, discovering new witnesses that corroborate the students’ accounts.

Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER)

The Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER) was founded in 1993 by Harvard professor of psychiatry and Pulitzer Prize-winning author John E. Mack, M.D. to explore how the experience of alien contact deeply affects personal, societal and global worldviews. The nature of aliens (whether or not they are “real”) was secondary to PEER’s primary interest in how alien encounters affect people’s perspectives on spiritual, environmental, and social aspects of life.
