To anyone who studies the phenomenon of UFOs and how they appear to be investigating the planet Earth, will know that these encounters usually occur in waves. One of the better known waves was one that occurred over North West Europe in the late nineteen eighties. These were known as the triangle sightings, with the first sightings being reported on the 29th of November 1989. In this incident, more than thirty separate and unconnected witnesses, mostly members of the public but also three police officers spotted a brightly lit triangular UFO of considerable size moving slowly across the sky line. Most of the sightings were over Belgium. The one common characteristic of each and every witness report was that despite its considerable bulk, the UFO moved completely without sound.
One of the witnesses managed to capture an image of the craft (not available) which marked it as being completely triangular or even diamond shaped.
What is for sure is that this sighting was the first of many that began in the late Autumn of 1989 and ended in fairly spectacular fashion in the spring of 1990 with two Belgian air force F16’s filming whilst actually being in pursuit of a group of UFOs. In between the opening incident and the chase, there were several other eye witness reports of triangular shaped craft in a variety of sizes, flying silently and low over the countryside of Belgium. Why this wave if visits began and ended dramatically is only a matter for conjecture. Are visitors from another planet planning a visit here in the future? Although these incidents occurred almost twenty years ago, that could be just the equivalent to just a few hours in space time.
What was interesting about the Belgian UFOs was that they seemed to be very frequent in their visits, and seemed to be in no hurry either to leave the area or to land. There is a famous report that took place on the 30th of March 30, 1990. One of the most readily corroboratively sound witnesses you could hope for, a captain in the Belgian National Police, found himself and his patrol car directly under a giant triangular UFO. His close encounter was also backed up by their appearance on separate radar stations monitored by the civilian air authorities as well as the German and the Belgian Air Force.
In an attempt to learn more about these craft, the Belgian Air Force actually scrambled fighter planes to try and get a closer look at these intriguing UFOs. There is actual footage of an encounter that occurred between two F-16 fighter jets chased the unknown flying crafts, but failed to either catch up with them or evince and reaction from them. The footage can be viewed below.
The chase which began over Liege in Belgium continued for more than an hour and continued over the skies of both Germany and the Netherlands, The fighter pilots reported that the UFO appeared to be aware of their existence. Their reaction was one of indifference as they increased and dropped their speed as they moved silently across the sky line. Initially the F16 pilot lost their target only to regain on their radar screen. This was reported on a further two occasions till eventually the signal was lost altogether over Brussels. At one point, almost as if to impress the pilots and the observers down below, watching on the radar screens, the craft appeared to drop from a height of around 10,000 feet to one of fifty feet in less than ten seconds.
Possibly by coincidence or because the UFOs began to feel that they had pushed their luck a little too much, the sightings dropped off from that point onwards. The Belgian wave of UFO sightings of the late nineties was one of the most open and clearly documented examples of interaction between possible alien life forces and the Earth. There were over one thousand reported sightings and one of the first examples of information sharing among the relevant authorities between at least four European countries.
