The encounter occurred during a recess period when many students were outside playing cricket. They saw a flying saucer and several smaller objects around it. Witnesses described the main craft as a round silver disc. Some students ran toward the objects, while others went inside. One girl, Tanya, reportedly touched the craft and later had to be taken away in an ambulance. After the event, the school principal held an assembly and told everyone not to talk about what they saw. Many witnesses felt dismissed and threatened by officials.
