On March 30-31, 1990, the Belgian Air Force scrambled two F-16s from Beauvechain to intercept an unidentified radar return tracked by NATO ground stations. Chief of Operations General Wilfried De Brouwer publicly released the radar data at a NATO headquarters press conference on July 11, 1990.

The F-16 onboard radar recorded targets accelerating from approximately 280 km/h to 1,800 km/h and shifting altitude between 150 and 3,000 meters within seconds, performance inconsistent with any known aircraft. The Belgian Air Force stated no Belgian, NATO, or foreign military aircraft accounted for the returns. Over the full wave, roughly 2,600 witness accounts were collected by SOBEPS.
