Ep. 157: The Ariel School Incident

On a hot September day in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, 62 school children witnessed something that startled, amazed, and terrified them. Leave it to the adults to muddle up what it actually was. This week, Hannah tells Katy about the Ariel School Incident: an account that, if true, is one of the largest mass Close Encounters of the Third Kind. There's bad alien hair cuts, frazzled moms, homemade geiger counters, and our old friend (from Episode 11!), the Tikoloshe! Plus, the girls discuss their various hypothetical reactions to an alien encounter (spoiler: Katy would be much more calm than Hannah.)This one is a happy break from the heavier topics we've been covering lately, and no one dies! So pour whatever beverage you choose and settle in for a good old fashion ET Tale!
