Summary: At
dusk in the evening of 29th November, 1989, two
Sergeant-Majors of the Belgian Gendarmerie who
were on patrol on the road from Eupen to Kittenis
in the Hautes Fagnes region of Belgium, noticed a
phenomenon two hundred meters away on one side of
the road. It was moving slowly and was some three
hundred meters above a field that bordered the
road. This was the first sighting of the famous
triangular craft and it was next seen in the
famous case of 'The Wavre' in March 1990.
At
dusk in the evening of 29th November, 1989, two
Sergeant-Majors of the Belgian Gendarmerie who
were on patrol on the road from Eupen to Kittenis
in the Hautes Fagnes region of Belgium, noticed a
phenomenon two hundred meters away on one side of
the road. It was moving slowly and was some three
hundred meters above a field that bordered the
road.
Both police officers noted that it
appeared to be a dark triangular platform with
three powerful lights shining from its underside
to the ground below. It had a central red light
that oscillated from red to orange.
The
object turned towards them and passed over their
vehicle, illuminating the whole area and becoming
more visible in its triangular format as it did
so. It appeared to be almost completely noiseless,
emitting only a very soft humming sound.
It proceeded slowly towards Eupen and
stopped motionless above the dam at Gileppe for a
period of 45 minutes. It finally moved in the
direction of Baelen and Spa where it disappeared.
The two police officers contacted the
Belgian Air Force base at Bierset which together
with Glons and Butgenbach had detected scans on
their radar. These bases at Aachen and Maastricht
were notified and an AWAC aircraft was vectored to
the area from Gelsenkirchen.
The whole
incident was to last for 2.5 hours. It was
witnessed by nineteen other Gendarmes who were
guests at a nearby social event. Many witnesses
from two areas of Liege, as well as Eupen,
Plombieres, Kittenis, Baelin, Verviers, Jalhay, St
Vith, Andrimont, Lontzen, Voeren, Battice and
Herbesthal, reported this object to the
Gendarmerie.
Descriptions from the
witnesses all tallied, and conformed to the
descriptions given of this phenomenon at the
beginning of the sighting.
All radar
reports were positive readings made by skilled
operatives and could not be interpreted as
readings from thermal inversions, unusual
electromagnetic waves or signals from other radar.
Over 55 minutes later the same two police
officers witnessed another triangular platform -
only this time much larger - appear from almost
ground level behind a large area of treas. It
described a climbing turn - all the time slowly
rotating in a level plane - following the course
of a nearby main road, it seemed to be maintaining
a relatively slow speed of about 64km/h.
This was the first sighting of the famous
triangular craft and it was next seen in the
famous case of 'The Wavre' in March 1990.
