Filmmaker Randy Nickerson Previews Encounter in Ruwa: The Ariel School Sighting Documentary Film: Donations Needed!

We are actively seeking donations to fund the completion of this film. Please contact Dominique Callimanopulos at elevatedominique@gmail.com. Thank you.




In 1994, Pulitzer-prize winning Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John E. Mack went to Zimbabwe, Africa to investigate an unusual occurrence. One morning in September 60 children at a small private school outside the capital of Harare reported seeing oval shaped objects hover over their playground at recess and strange beings make their way across their schoolyard.

Encounter in Ruwa: The Ariel School Sighting is the story of Dr. Mack’s research and the journey a young film maker took up 14 years later—retracing Dr. Mack’s footsteps and research and ultimately uncovering evidence of a much more widespread incident.

We invite you to a presentation and screening of some of the first and latest footage shot about this record of “extraordinary experience”.

Dr. Mack put his reputation on the line when he publicly explored the UFO and alien abduction phenomenon in the 1990’s. Almost 5 years after Dr. Mack’s death, and 17 years after he began his research, what do we make of this phenomenon?

Encounter in Ruwa is one of the most dramatic examples of the phenomenon, reported by some of the most credible witnesses. Come keep us company for an evening of heady exploration, fascinating unseen film footage, and a first hand account of this absorbing case by Randy Nickerson, who retraced Dr. Mack’s footsteps. Dominique Callimanopulos, who traveled with Dr. Mack to Africa in 1994, will also be present.
