Location. Ardennes region, Belgium
Date: April 1990
Time: evening
The witness, Alain, working late in a local forest had finished work and was getting
ready to leave when he noticed a large black triangle-shaped object hovering above
a nearby clearing. The object was larger than a military aircraft and was totally
silent. Suddenly the object began to descend towards the clearing and afraid Alain
hid behind some trees, holding his ax close to his chest. As the object descended all
the normal sounds of the forest seemed to cease, Alain could not hear birds, insects
or anything living, and he seemed to be in a vacuum (Oz effect). Right before the
object landed Alain saw what appeared to be some landing gear emerged from the
bottom. Becoming even more concerned Alain hid concealed himself even further
behind the trees. However he was still able to clearly see the craft now on the
ground. As he watched a door or hatch became visible, a very strong light came out
of the opening of the craft and he could see what appeared to be “equipment”
inside. Alain suddenly noticed a black human-like silhouette at the entrance of the
object, this figure then came down a ramp that had also emerged when the door had
appeared, it was then followed by a second, a third and then a fourth similar figure,
all in single file. They seemed to be searching for something as they began to look
around everywhere; the alien’s eyes seemed to reflect the light from inside the
object. Meanwhile Alain was beginning to panic as he clutched his ax, remembering
stories he had heard before of persons being abducted by aliens. Alain was able to
describe the figures as tall, but not overly so, wearing gray coveralls with low V-
necks, they had with bare heads, with brown/gray hair. Their eyes were large and
dark and their noses small, he could not distinguish the mouth. One of the aliens
who seemed to be the leader appeared to communicate with the others but Alain did
not hear anything. Afraid, Alain decided to leave and as he walked away through
the brush he was surprised to see two of aliens close to him, one on his left and the
other on his right that had apparently followed him. He raised his ax in a
threatening move and kept moving; when he looked back the aliens had vanished.
The next day he returned to the site and reportedly found some burned grass at the
landing site.
