The odds that this was a coordinated effort by the school children to create a global hoax seems less likely than them having witnessed some sort of bizarre phenomena. Kids that age are horrible liars and as far as I can tell they've all maintained the original story and some are still talking about it.

It's interesting. I read a little bit about it. The one thing I find most interesting though is that Indigenous kids originally interpreted what they saw as creatures from their native folklore, while non-Indigenous people went in the alien direction, so there does seem to be some power of cultural suggestion at work.
I just find it hard to believe that if aliens came to Earth with an important message to share with humans regarding protecting the planet, that they would choose children aged 5-12 in a rural and remote part of the world to target, especially considering almost none of them want to talk about it today. For a highly advanced civilization, it would seem like such a waste of time. The initial reports the kids gave also lacked the environmentalist angle which didn't come up until another researcher (John Mack), who was a known environmentalist as well as a UFOlogist, suggested it.
