Belgium has been bullied by drones for the past week or so. Every day new sightings pop up, mostly around military bases, airports and now a nuclear facility. Nobody knows who it is so far. Russia gets blamed.

No real thing like this is happening in The Netherlands. So why Belgium? Any other country dealing with this?

I saw one with my own eyes. Thought that was pretty dope.

      Those sightings were dismissed as people misidentifying small manned aircraft and falling for mass hysteria. The US government denied that any anomalous activity was taking place, and I can’t think of any reason that they’d orchestrate a bunch of sightings only to deny everything.

      At least the European sights are functioning as war propaganda against Russia, and if the US really wanted to, they could have claimed that the drones were Chinese or some other insane explanation.

        I know people who personally saw the UFOs in New Jersey, and they were NOT small manned aircraft. They were spherical and hovered lol

          Yeah… do you know what other things are spherical and hover? Helicopters, commercial drones, weather drones, weather balloons, and hobby drones….

          Did the people who saw these drones take any videos or pictures? Because the only evidence that ever surfaced all turned out to be passenger airliners, hobby drones, and small Cessnas. It’s especially funny when the photos or videos show the craft blinking red and green navigation lights, and the thought that aliens or hostile craft would abide by FAA regulations is pretty funny.

          I’d be happy to be proven wrong if you’d have other evidence.

            Dude I only said I knew people who personally saw the objects. My boss and his wife, and another colleague of mine. They literally saw glowing orbs. My boss and his wife saw the orbs coming out of the water.

            They didn’t record it. But I mean as someone who also saw some freaky shit like this, you don’t even think about it tbh.
