Over 13 months, more than 13,500 people witnessed large triangular craft moving silently over Belgium. The Belgian Air Force scrambled F-16s twice; radar locked on, but the objects departed with extreme acceleration.
From late 1989 through 1990, Belgium experienced a roughly 13-month wave of mass sightings, with more than 13,500 people reporting large triangular craft moving silently. The Belgian Air Force scrambled F-16s twice; on one occasion radar briefly locked on, but the objects reportedly accelerated from about 280 km/h to 1,800 km/h within seconds with instantaneous direction changes. The Belgian military unusually released its investigation files, making it one of the most transparent official responses to a mass UAP event.
