It all started on November 29, 1989: that evening, several gendarme patrols observed unknown flying objects flying silently and at low altitude over the small town of Eupen. This was the beginning of the "Belgian UFO wave" that became famous throughout the world! Following this first incredible evening, hundreds, thousands of witnesses would observe UFOs in the Belgian sky. The description was almost always the same: Belgian UFOs were triangular, very large. They lit up the ground with large headlights. They flew very close to the ground, very slowly. They could hover, then were capable of dazzling accelerations. Even today, no known aircraft is capable of such performances. The Belgian Air Force wanted to know what it was. Misunderstandings? Secret prototypes? On March 30, 1990, two F-16s took off from the Beauvechain base to hunt down these mysterious UFOs. The chase will last 40 minutes and one of the two planes will bring back surprising radar echoes: the pursued UFO made changes in altitude and accelerations that were totally impossible for a conventional plane. And then, after two incredible years, the Belgian UFOs disappeared. Today, only fascinating archives remain on this 30-year-old story. In this episode, find full interviews with all the members of SOBEPS (the Belgian society for the study of space phenomena), a ufological organization (which investigates UFOs) that found itself at the heart of these extraordinary events. Belgium is the country of surrealism, but also of flying saucers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The modern history of UFOs begins in 1947 in the United States. At the time, they were called "flying saucers" or "flying saucers" in French. An incredible story, with a hint of conspiracy and science fiction, told by Franck Istasse in 9 episodes richly illustrated with archives, testimonies and reconstructions to immerse us in the surprising world of UFOs.
