Pupils as young as seven were left traumatised after a school staged a 'War of the Worlds' style production during which a teacher was abducted by aliens.
The 370 children at Southway Junior School, in Burgess Hill, west Sussex, saw a 'spaceship' crash near their school and then aliens grabbed a member of staff as part of the performance.
The 'alien invasion' show, which was supported by Sussex Police, took place without parents being informed, leaving some furious that they had to comfort their terrified children.

This could have been brought on by several different things.
It could be conditioning to disclosure ~ ya know the Pope said it is ok to believe in UFOs. or
It could be just an educational fun game ok'd by the school board who may have an interest in UFOs.
But if some kids were really scared, and the parents were not informed, it sounds like this could eventually turn into a mental anguish law suit...maybe. Or they may be forced to provide counseling to those affected.
When I was in High School in a small town, they would have fake wrecks in front of the school with students as the victims complete with fake blood, police, ambulance and the works. I guess it was supposed to teach us not to drink and drive, but i think most of us just thought it was dumb and waste of time... maybe this ufo thing was just a new attempt at getting the kids attention on emergency situations while still being fun.

DP, the alleged actual landing and subsequent sighting of ET,s by school children happened a few years back in Africa or one of it's neighboring countries.
If I can locate the thread on it I will post a link...

This has been in the news before, and if i remember rightly there was uproar about it, some kids freaked out that time too.
ur right
there was another one like this
a while back and it was posted
here. This makes the 2nd one that
I know of concerning fake alien
landings at school.
Or maybe I just dreamed it .... deja vu
but it sounds familiar.
Or maybe it was a fake shooting at school
I can't remember all the details. But as I
remember, parents got real upset about
that inceident and some even sued the school
and some even took their kids out of that school.
Hope you find the last thread.
