Randall Nickerson is a filmmaker who spent fifteen years documenting the alien encounter at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe.
Randall was also the subject of Dr.’s book “Abductions.” John Mack and appeared on the Oprah show in 1994 to discuss his encounters with aliens. He claims to have been abducted by aliens several times.
Known for his documentary The Ariel Phenomenon (2022), which explores a mass UFO and alien sighting by African schoolchildren in 1994, Nickerson recently shared his personal experiences on Danny Jones’ video podcast.
He explained that he was kidnapped by the same ‘team’ of creatures every time.
“I’ve only seen a small portion of this population, whoever they are. And I’ve seen their research team several times. It was the same team, you could see that. The four of them come every time. There’s something special about four. Always four,” he said.
Nickerson, now 57, revealed that his first abduction occurred at the age of 11, shortly after he noticed a strong odor similar to burning cotton wool.
Although his memories of the event are limited, the experience left him deeply traumatized. “It took me twenty years to believe it myself… I don’t read books [about alien abductions] because it only traumatizes me more. It reminds me of things I have suppressed.”
Nickerson noticed a striking pattern among the abductees: many are extremely intelligent.
“Some of these abductees are geniuses with a capital G. They have photographic memories. I think they were chosen for their brains, although there could have been other reasons. But I met a lot of damn smart people among them. They choose both men and women, maybe because of genetics,” he said.
Despite the trauma, Nickerson continues to engage with the subject, attempting to understand his experiences and those of others who claim similar encounters.
