FIREFLY STEALTH FLYING TRIANGLE

BELGIUM TRIANGLES

Aviation enthusiast Eric Morris states: "On Saturday 12th June, I attended the Woodford Airshow held at British Aerospace, Woodford, Cheshire. At approximately 12:45 PM I made my way over to a group of pilots who were talking to the public and giving stickers out to enthusiasts. I managed to get into conversation with two of these men, one the pilot of a Royal Netherlands Air Force aircraft and the other an F-16 pilot. After a few minutes I asked them candidly about the 'Belgian UFO incidents' of 1989/90 and without any hint of a lie the told me that firstly, they were knowledgeable about the case. Secondly, they knew the name of Colonel Wilfred de Brouwer who was most closely associated with the case at the time -- from an official point of view.

The pilot laughed when asked about triangular 'UFOs' and stated that they were/are not UFOs as such but classified aircraft. I feigned surprise and said that the press and public thought differently. This encouraged them to be a little more forthcoming and they added that 'an experimental aircraft' had been involved and had developed problems. The men stated that knowledge of this incident was not exactly limited to Belgium and that Dutch, UK and German radars were affected by this and that some tracks were made. In the UK radar stations on the East coast had, apparently, picked the aircraft up. They argued that the jet fighters were tasked to track the experimental aircraft in the air for some reason. They knew the Belgian pilots involved. They were adamant that this was not a UFO sighting and having had conversations with other NATO pilots had discovered that NATO Air Forces were 'in the know.' Official statements, of the type put out by de Brouwer, were little more than a smokescreen to hide the facts.

The actual craft in question was, as far as they knew, of European design and they didn't know about any possible US involvement. America was not mentioned in this respect. They also had heard about cover-ups of incidents at RAF Boscombe Down. The aircraft in question were F-16's Serial J-256, J-259, attached to R. Netherlands AF Squadron 299, 301, 311." I am prepared to make a statement in front of a Solicitor in the form of an affidavit if required. This statement if true to the best of my recollection and for further information I can be contacted as follows; Eric Morris, 78 Greenall Rd, Northwich, Cheshire CW9 5RN. Tel (01606) 330567. Tim Matthews comments; Although this is a remarkable account some of the facts fit what we know. Derek Sheffield's "UFO - A Deadly Concealment" indicates that the MOD (UK) knew all about it and that North Atlantic Ground Defence Environment (NADGE) radar picked the aircraft up. Importantly, he states that anything reported to one country's radar would necessarily be passed on to the rest in the loop. He also indicates there was an official cover-up and it is remarkable to note how Ufolgists who believe in a UFO cover-up treat the Belgian military as a different and truthful entity, when claiming there is a Covert Agenda of UFO cover-ups at the highest levels of power. Thanks to Tim M. matthews@zetnet.co.uk Editor's Note: Our government's know which UFO reports are real and those that are not. We gain little by pushing reports that may not be true. Certainly, UFOs could have been involved, but within NATO military circles this version of the report is considered true.

Graham M. Wilson reports a NATO 'Firefly' Black Budget Stealth exists? The craft is an equilateral-shaped triangle, each edge, from tip to tip, is approximately 184 feet. The 'Firefly' is one of the current generation of super-stealth aircraft, still part of the black-budget program. Near silent in operational flight, near silent hover capabilities. The underside lighting configuration is so designed as to give conflicting eyewitness accounts of the lighting and indeed shape of the craft, the three large circular red lights in each point can converge in the center to form one very large red or white light. I am informed that there are two of these craft in Europe in current operation, one is based at Boscombe Down, England and shares flight operations with Macrihanish, Scotland. The other craft is based in Germany. The US has two craft, of slightly different configuration. The craft is manned or crewed by NATO personnel, it is believed all participating NATO countries supply flight crew. Flight simulators are located in the UK, Germany and the USA. Thanks to Graham M.

BELGIUM TRIANGLE UFOs? Excellent investigator Bob Durant writes concerning Filer's Files #25 that quotes NATO pilots who claim the Belgium case was caused by a secret aircraft. Bob says, "I have spent a great deal of time studying the Belgian UFO wave of 1989-90, and wrote two articles on the topic that were published in the MUFON Journal. The case remains one of the best documented and puzzling in the UFO literature. The reason ufologists "believe" the Belgian government is precisely because of the quick and extremely thorough briefing they gave the public after the events. This included the technical radar data from the ground stations as well as the critically important tapes of the cockpit weapons control radar and flight data on the two interceptors. Add to that the tapes of the radio transmissions from and between the interceptors and ground stations.

There is a vast amount of data available. Unfortunately, your correspondents seem ignorant of it. Of course the possibility of a secret aircraft was given the greatest consideration. This was before the interceptors were launched as well as during the months that followed. The sightings began six months before the interception attempt, and continued for several months after. Nobody suggested a European craft, simply because all involved knew very well that no craft with the performance parameters of the UFO was being produced in Europe. Speculation about secret craft focused on American airplanes, particularly the Stealth fighters. That's because investigators -- unlike your correspondents -- knew what they were talking about. Ten years have elapsed since the events in question. That's a very long time in aviation technology. So where is this fantastic European craft that ten years ago vastly outperformed the F-16? If only your correspondents would read the details of the intercept, they would appreciate the absurdity of the "secret aircraft" explanation.

The intercept was carried out at low altitudes over very densely populated areas. This is not a test over the uninhabited Nevada desert. Terrible risk was taken, and taken only after repeated consultation with NATO members. General DeBrower and the Belgian Minister of Defense continue to answer inquiries by saying that to this day they have no idea what the UFO was. I find particularly offensive George Filer's editorial comment, "We gain little by pushing reports that may not be true. Certainly, UFOs could have been involved, but within NATO military circles this version of the report is considered true." Really? Exactly which military circles, George? A couple of pilots who were still in high school when the events took place? And who tell an impossible story? I prefer the mountain of technical data, and the "circles" of the likes of General DeBrower and the Minister of Defense. The UFO enigma continues to suffer from credulity. It seems that no story is too crazy to be believed -- and published without a second thought. This "explanation" of the Belgian event(s) is an example, but with a twist. Here the rush to accept an explanation for a UFO case that is at odds with the facts and common sense is coming from within the "research community." Historically, this sort of bunk emanated from Project Bluebook. You people almost make me nostalgic for the old days of "weather balloon" and "Planet Venus." Thanks to Bob Durant MUFON. Editor's Note: I wish to point out that I heard similar stories from NATO pilots indicating the Belgian triangles were our secret aircraft with special radars. It is certainly possible that the Belgian government was kept out of the loop at the time and NATO pilots were given false info. It certainly could be UFOs?
