What was reported

Police officers and others reported slow triangular craft, and the Belgian Air Force released radar data from the March 1990 intercept.

Official and public statements

In 2011 Patrick Maréchal told Belgian television RTL-TVI that he made the widely published Petit-Rechain triangle photograph using a styrofoam model. Belgian Air Force Colonel Wilfried De Brouwer stated in 1990 that the F-16 radar contacts could not be matched to any identified aircraft.
