Just saw a video on the Ariel Phenomenon, I fully believe those kids saw something especially with the way they all still hold true to their story years later. The messages they got also make sense and seem to be the way our planet is unfortunately heading (climate crisis, AI etc). I guess my question is, why do you think they picked the school kids to relay the message to? There is very little they could have done in their position at the time to effect those things. I suppose as they grew up a lot of them made conscious decisions on how to engage with the planet as adults and consumers but in the grand scheme of things why would this not be a message the aliens could have blasted into the minds of, say, the billionaires who are destroying the planet? I feel like that kind of thing is the wakeup call they need for any real change to happen with 4 years left on the climate clock
