1994 wurden über sechzig Schüler Zeugen der Landung eines nicht identifizierten Raumschiffs auf ihrem Schulhof. 25 Jahre später ist dieser Vorfall den Schülern noch in frischer Erinnerung. Sie suchen nach wie vor nach Antworten - und nach dem Mut, ihre Wahrheit zu sagen. In Randall Nickersons Dokumentarfilm über den UFO-Zwischenfall an der Ariel-Schule kehrt eine junge Frau an ihre Schule im ländlichen Simbabwe zurück - an den Ort, der im Alter von neun Jahren ihre Realität erschütterte. Wir lernen einen angesehenen BBC-Kriegsreporter kennen, der nur widerwillig über den Vorfall berichtete, was ihn schließlich dazu brachte, seine Karriere für die Geschichte zu riskieren, die ihn am meisten verfolgte. Seinen Ruf gefährdet der mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnete Harvard-Psychiater Dr. John Mack, dessen Bestätigung der Zeugen dieses Massenspektakel unübersehbar machte.
