The Belgian Wave F-16 Intercept

Belgium

Two Belgian Air Force F-16s were scrambled to intercept triangular UFOs tracked on multiple radar systems. During nine interception attempts, the objects demonstrated impossible capabilities - jumping huge distances in seconds, accelerating from 280 to 1,800 km/h instantly, and dropping from 3,000m to 1,000m in seconds. The Belgian Air Force called it 'a real phenomenon.'
