over the village of Ans. On November 29, 1989, 41 eyewitnesses, including six military police officials, observed a huge triangular craft hovering over the village of Upen, Verviers, and numerous other locations in Wallonia near the German border. The Belgian wave climaxed on the night of March 30 and 31 of 1990, when numerous unidentified flying objects were tracked by two NATO radar installations at Glons located southeast of Brussels and a second at Semmerzake west of Brussels. A report of the incident, prepared by Air Force Major P. Lambrechts of the Air Force General's Staff in Brussels, contains startling details of the nature of these triangular UFOs in flight. The report entitled "Concerning the Observation of UFOs During the Night of March 30-31, 1990" included a detailed chronology of events as well as numerous eyewitness descriptions from several military police and maps of where the various sightings took place. At 2250 hours controllers at the Glons radar installation received a phone call from military policemen who reported three unusual lights which formed an equilateral triangle near his house in Ramillies. Over the next two and one-half hours, numerous military police and other witnesses continued to observe triangular objects performing wee ee a Le eta Le Ne At 2349 hours the radar screens as Semmerzake confiii~ied the targets, and an order was given to scramble two F-16 fighter aircraft at 2356 hours. According to official Air Force records released to the public, the aircraft had brief radar contact on several occasions with the unidentified craft. During the first radar lock on at 0013 hours the speed of the target changed from 150 to 970 nautical miles per hour (a nautical mile is 6,080.2 feet) in only a few seconds. The craft also descended from an altitude of 9,000 to 5,000 feet in a matter of seconds. At one point the objects were tracked on radar changing from 280 kilometers per hour to 1,800 kilometers per hour while descending from 3,000 to 1,000 meters altitude in one second. This represents an acceleration equivalent to 40 Gs. A human being can stand only 8 Gs ina G suit without blacking out. (A '"G" is unit of acceleration equivalent to the gravitational pull of the Earth, 9.81 meters per second per second.) This behavior ruled out any human pilot on board the UFO. At one point, radar tracking equipment indicated that the UFO dipped below ground level and re-emerged above ground only a few seconds later, an accomplishment which is obviously impossible for a physical ship! The F-16s were unable to engage the object because of a flying limitation of 1,300 kilometers per hour at 1,000 meters altitude. For over an hour the F-16 interceptors successfully locked on radar contact. However, each time they subsequently lost radar contact with the UFOs. Furthermore, despite flying significantly faster than the speed of sound the UFO craft never generated a sonic boom. During the radar tracking the UFO was seen to break into four separate parts and disappear in four different directions! During the Belgium wave, a number of astonishing observations were made. Numerous witnesses reported seeing the triangular craft change shape before their very eyes. Others reported seeing the craft materialize and dematerialize in the presence of numerous witnesses. 45 strange maneuvers at the outskirts of Brussels. The event was summarized by August Meessen, professor of physics at the Catholic University at Louvain:
