“This country’s [Air Force] has joined scores of Belgians befuddled by
hundreds of UFO sightings across night skies in recent months.
In the latest report, two [Air Force] F-16 jet fighters used their radar
screens to track an object that, according to a military official, ‘exceeded
the limits of conventional aviation.’
Speaking at a news conference Wednesday, Belgian Air Force Col. Wilfried
[De] Brouwer said the UFO dived from about 10,000 to 4,000 feet in two
seconds. At the same time, it increased its speed from 600 to 1,100 miles an hour.
De Brouwer said the [Air Force] decided to wait before announcing the
sighting in the early hours of March 31 [1990] ‘because we wanted to compare
the radar sightings by our pilots with observations from radar stations.’ ”
