More than 60 children claimed they saw a UFO land outside their school in one of the most compelling mass sightings of all time.

Now a Netflix documentary, Encounters, is revisiting the case of the students who said a spaceship and a "being" landed from the sky in Zimbabwe.

Many consider the 1994 "encounter" to be the most significant of the 20th century, especially due to the high number of witnesses.

The new Netflix series explores the events of September 16, 1994, and investigates whether the children can be considered as reliable witnesses.
