In the dark, winter skies of 1989 and stretching into 1990, Belgium became the epicenter of an unprecedented UFO phenomenon that captured the world's attention. Over several months, hundreds of witnesses, including police officers and military personnel, reported seeing large, silent, low-flying triangular objects gliding through the skies. These crafts, distinguished by their triangular shape and rows of bright lights, performed aerial maneuvers beyond the capabilities of known human technology.
The Belgian Air Force took these sightings seriously, scrambling F-16 fighter jets to intercept and identify these mysterious objects, which led to one of the few instances where a government military openly engaged with reported UFOs. Radar locks were obtained, and high-speed chases ensued, yet no explanations were forthcoming. The wave culminated in a massive event on March 30, 1990, when multiple radar stations, ground witnesses, and fighter pilots observed the objects simultaneously.
