Submitter states, “While walking my dog in a forest in Holheide Pelt in the middle of the day, I suddenly felt very strange. I felt the urge to look up and saw a large, black, triangular object hovering above the treetops. The object was clearly triangular, a uniform, dark color—no visible light or propulsion. No sound, everything was completely silent. No trees moving, no sight or sound of propulsion. It hung silently above the trees. I began to stare at this object in disbelief, wondering what I was actually looking at. When I, completely stunned, searched for my phone to take a picture of the object, I looked up and it was gone. The silence surrounding me and this experience made a deep impression on me.

A friend of mine works at the army so I asked him if it was an army airplane because I couldn’t figure out what this was. Maybe it was a B2 stealth bomber? he just laughed at me that those wouldn’t be flying around here in Pelt.

Still no idea what to do with this experience. Someone told me to describe my encounter here so here we go. Picture is made with ai to get a sense of the encounter.”

ANALYSIS: Holheide Pelt is in the extreme northern part of Belgium near the border of the Netherlands. The town abuts a huge forest where the sighting took place. There is one substantial NATO airstrip called Kleine Brogel several miles away miles capable of housing Stealth Bombers. It is also a nuclear bomb storage facility. If the craft was not one of ours, could it have been surveilling Kleine Brogel?

Software such as Flightradar24 could not be used to determine if this object had a transponder for three reasons. The witness waited too long to report the sighting and data more than 3 years old is not available. Second, and more importantly, the date is approximate. Third is that if it were a terrestrial military craft, most likely it’s transponder would be off.

Similar sightings in the 1990s of large triangular craft have been seen in Yorkshire, U.K. which also is home to a very large forest. In those sightings, the triangle issued a blue beam on the two people watching it. One girl claimed she was abducted. The other witness was a police officer.

It is conceivable that these craft use the cover of large forested areas to hide their activities. What makes this case unusual is that it occurred in broad daylight. Most triangles are observed at night at tree top level near roads and hover or move very slowly before instantaneously shooting off at incredible speeds. Most witnesses state the triangles are either silent or give off a low hum. Triangles will appear to one witness usually but there have been mass witness sightings along highways such as the Hudson Valley, N.Y. sightings in the 1980s.

In this case, the witness mentions an almost absolute silence. In UFOlogy, this is called the Oz Effect and usually occurs in conjunction with missing time.  The effect makes the witness feel like they are in a sort of bubble. No wind, no birds or crickets chirping, no rumble of cars nearby.  We could ask the question, “Why did the witness wait 7 minutes to look for his phone?” We could also ask, “Why there is no mention of the dog reacting?”

Finally, the description of the object is a typical black triangle reported as far back as the 1960s in newspaper reports. Typically, as in this case, it had white lights at each point.

Is it possible that the witness may have observed a conventional military stealth craft? Absolutely but with one caveat. The object was hovering. It is not known if newer generation craft like the F-21 Raider can hover silently acting as a Vertical Take Off & Landing craft (VTOL). VTOLS, like Harrier Jets, are very loud.

If it is our technology, it raises the possibility that we may have anti-gravity propulsion after all. But what about those 1960s sightings? Could we be that far ahead?
