My name is Dalan Viko. I was born in Zimbabwe in 1984. I was witnessed to a an event that was I can I cannot fully explain. Um it was at Aerial Primary School in 1994 uh September. the lights in the sky, they were really, really amazing. Um, the fact that they were moving at very, very high speeds, like so fast that you couldn’t see them moving. It was like they would flash and then they would move so fast and cover a very large distance and then flash again and then move off again. But but there wasn’t wasn’t one color. It was multiple colors in the sky, but not at once. So the the the the light would it would flash red for example and then it would disappear and then at about 200 m to 500 m it would flash again the light would flash again in the sky but the color would be different and then it would move off again and it would flash again with a different color. And I have a friend his name is Brian and unfortunately he’s not here in South Africa where the interview is being conducted. Um we were talking about this prior to the interview um a couple of weeks ago and basically me and him had the same story about what we both witnessed and what we both saw with these flashing lights in the sky. Um neither one of us can can explain it. And where were you on the playground? You were I was in the I was on the bottom field the playground by the grade um grade six classroom. And then um we moved up um to the a bounce area where basically it forms now it forms the beginning of the new the new sports fields or the new playgrounds that they’ve built since then. Um yeah although we do not fully understand what happened there was something definite definite definite that that that did occur there that was out of the ordinary. It was not it was not a regular day at school. It was something very very um mind-blowing. And um you know sometimes people think might think I’m crazy but uh I did see something and um I’m not the only person that has witnessed these uh so-called um not beings cuz I don’t see any beings but these so-called phenomena phenomena events um so you know they say that there’s more grains of sand sorry they say there’s more planets and suns in our universe than there are grains of sand on the earth. So with with that theory in context, the probability of extraterrestrial life in our universe is very high. And I believe that there was something there that I can’t explain. Anything else you’d like to ask? Yeah. How long do you think that group was there before you noticed that they were there? the group that was there before I noticed that they were there. Maybe they could have been there for at least 10 to 15 minutes before I noticed that they were there. I was I was very much into my game. And um I only realized that they were grouping by the logs when kids from that from that area had filtered down into the the lower playground and they started telling us about what was going on. I then looked across and saw those kids there. So I then walked. So it could have been between 10 and 15 minutes um possibly that there was a time gap before I went to investigate myself in that area. Yeah. But then again, I’m not 100% sure of time because as a kid you don’t really have concept of time. Um so the the beings or the the spaceship that landed there could have landed and left. Um and those beings could have also left. Um, but I am certain that I did see something in the sky that I cannot explain. Some colors, some lights, it could have been government testing. It could have been a lot of different things, but there was definitely something there that I cannot explain. Even to this day, um, I’m now 23 years old, turning 24 in September. Um, and at my age, I still cannot fathom or explain what happened on that day. And um, I would love to find the answers one day to to what really happened and what really went on. I remember as well that a lot of the kids were saying that on their way to school their their radio frequencies or their the radio stations that they normally used to tune in to listen to the radio on the way to school was not working. And a lot of the cars that were approaching the area school during the thing.
