NASA Video Shows Unknown Space Object on Day of Ariel School Event
"This legendary space walk happened within hours of the Ariel School event on Sept 16th, 1994. This is one of two clips that I acquired from NASA during the research phase. Could it be a camera filter? Sure. Odd?
Now is it OK to talk about it?
We are very interested in all of this news, to say the least.
Sen. Schumer: the public "has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence and unexplainable phenomena."
1/4Over the last 20 mos we were working to sell film & got within final draft of a deal with a major streaming giant. We were asked to clear our social accounts and not speak about what we were up to. We did it because we thought it was best way for film to get to the most people
3/4This makes it a hard sell in Hollywood. They wanted big names - we think the people in the film are fascinating on their own. Our team gathered to watch it after nearly 2 years & fell in love with it all over again. We turned down subsequent offers to change it / distribute it
Thanks for mentioning the film,

2/4At the last moment, the deal fall apart. It was unprecedented & ate up a lot of time and funds. BUT we were relieved to have it back in our hands, as it was going to undergo major changes. In our film, NO ONE who wasn’t involved some way with Ariel School event is in film

Our sympathies to the other students, this must’ve been a huge surprise to them. & to call the episode “Believers“ is another wrongful act. These people didn’t ask for this, they are simply witnesses. Just because they spoke about what they saw does not make them “believers”

We will need everyone’s help spreading the word, for sure. Especially to mainstream sources and audiences. Big distributors wanted to change it to make it more of a UFO film, because it doesn’t fit in any existing genre. But we like it that way!
Francis is so eloquent about his experience we wanted to highlight him! He is one of several former students who were not fully featured in the film but have strong memories of that day.
