In what’s become something of a routine project in British schools, children arrived for class at York’s Clifton with Rawcliffe Primary School on Sept 13 of this year to be surprised by a “close encounter.” A mock alien craft had been arranged to look as if it had crash-landed in their playground, and the children were encouraged to share their experience afterward. Naturally, everything was well documented.

On October 1 of this year, another UFO crash drill was held at North Harringay primary school, in London.

According to the York Press, the surprise crash scene included “police tape, a NASA investigation unit and a small silver craft billowing smoke and resting on the grass opposite the main entrance to the school.”

Teen actors from a nearby school were asked to be at the scene and claim to have seen extraterrestrials exit the crashed ship. Other players included local police who asked questions of “witnesses” and cordoned off the area; and members of the press who said they were sent to report on the “crash.” Adding to the realism was the presence of BBC Look North’s Phil Bodmer (whose son attends the school), who was there with a BBC cameraman reporting on the incident.

The North Harringay program was similar. Children arrived at the school to find a crashed saucer in the campus. According to the Tottenham and Wood Green Journal, the scene included a forensic officer inspecting the UFO “while police closely guarded the scene, which was roped off while investigations took place.”

According to Clifton with Rawcliffe Primary School’s head teacher Chris Wigley, the day-long UFO drill was intended to spark the children’s imagination prior to moving into a wider lesson on space. It was also “to test the youngsters’ investigative skills.”

In the recent years, school children across Britain have been surprised with crashed “spacecraft” in the school yard, complete with officers explaining what would take place at a such a scene — hypothetically of course. In October of 2010, for example, the Weston Mercury reported that officers at one UFO drill showed the children how to secure the scene, how to gather evidence, and how to interview witnesses.
