The Belgium flap:

And now, one further report before we finish (no doubt only provisionally!) with these events of the night of November 29, 1989, in Belgium. This comes from Mme Grogna, and is quoted in the excellent article by Yves Leterme published in the newspaper Nord-Matin for December 19, 1989:

“On Wednesday, November 29 last, at about 1830 hrs., I was in my car on the hills above Verviers. Suddenly, right in front of me, at a distance of a few hundreds of metres, I saw a very bright object. It was a clear night, and the object was not very high up. It was stationary over the countryside below. Puzzled, I stopped the car, and I was able to take in a few details of the object, which I would judge was some 300 metres or so from me. It had three white lights disposed in a triangle, and it started to move off slowly towards Heusy. I wasn't scared. It passed slowly behind a several-storeyed building, and then reappeared to view. It was bigger than a helicopter. It was like a flying lighted cabin! I could also see some red lights at the rear end of it. It vanished from sight after I had watched it for three or four minutes.”
