Tarcienne, Belgium
Woman saw a total of 25 lights or objects flying at low level. With telescope observed man standing in front of one object, handling a board, holding one arm straight up. Explanation: Aircraft.
Objects were observed. Occupants of the craft were seen. 25 objects were observed by one female witness at a house (Vandervoort). One humanoid was seen.
Mrs Vandervoort, living outside the village of Tarcienne, went outdoors to close her shutters and saw a white light pass over the roof of the nearest house, some 100 meters away; it approached silently form the direction of the nearby woods, and moved toward the east. In the next hour, at intervals of some minutes apart, she saw a total of 25 similar lights or objects flying over a low level-10 to 15 meters above the trees, moving very fast. With the aid of an old optical telescope, she observed in front of one of these objects a "man" standing, handling a "board;" it was a "tiny" figure, but "of great height." He held one arm straight up. The witness reportedly took pictures of some of the objects, "It was impressive," she is quoted as saying, insisting they were not normal aircraft, with which she is familiar, as there is a Belgian Air Base northeast of her locale.
