About This Program

The Belgian UFO Wave is a television programme presented as a single episode that concentrates on one of the most talked‑about aerial mysteries in recent history. Its format follows the conventions of a documentary‑style episode, offering viewers a concise yet thorough look at a series of unexplained sightings that unfolded across a small European nation. At the heart of the episode are reports of silent, hovering triangular objects that appeared in the skies over Belgium. Thousands of people claim they saw these craft, describing them as large, silent and perfectly still as they drifted above towns and countryside alike. The programme strings together these eyewitness accounts, giving a clear picture of what witnesses repeatedly observed. These sightings didn’t happen just once; they formed a wave that stretched over more than two years. The phenomenon kicked off in late 1989 and continued well into the early 1990s, creating a sustained period during which the same type of triangular object kept reappearing. The episode stresses how the prolonged nature of the events kept the public’s interest alive for an extended time. By focusing on the sheer number of observers and the length of the episode‑long wave, the programme underscores how the silent, hovering triangles managed to capture the imagination of an entire country. It presents the Belgian experience as a notable chapter in the broader catalogue of UFO reports, all without venturing beyond the facts that have been recorded.
