On the evening of March 8, 2025, around 9:33 PM, two witnesses observed an unusual celestial phenomenon above Antwerp, Flanders. According to their account, a cigar-shaped unidentified flying object (UFO), metallic silver in color, appeared in the sky before vanishing at an incredible speed. This testimony, reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), has quickly sparked interest among ufologists and curious minds alike.
A Brief but Striking Sighting
The object, estimated to be about 15 meters long, was visible for approximately 30 seconds. Witnesses described it as having a smooth, seamless surface with no visible wings, propellers, or other conventional propulsion features. The UFO appeared to reflect the city lights, giving it a metallic, shiny appearance. After hovering motionless for a few moments, it suddenly accelerated eastward at an astonishing speed, likely close to the speed of light, and disappeared within seconds.
Intriguing Characteristics
Several details make this sighting particularly fascinating. Witnesses reported lights on the object, as well as an aura or faint haze surrounding it. Some also mentioned beams of light emanating from the UFO and unusual electromagnetic effects. One witness claimed their phone and electric vehicle stopped working during the sighting, suggesting possible electromagnetic interference.
Optimal Weather Conditions
At the time of the sighting, weather conditions were ideal for clear sky observation. The sky was clear, with minimal cloud cover and excellent visibility. A light breeze blew from the northeast, and the temperature was around 8°C (46°F). These conditions rule out the possibility of an optical illusion caused by atmospheric phenomena.
A Mystery for Experts
The Belgian UFO reporting center, Belgisch UFO-meldpunt, has been informed of this sighting and is currently conducting a thorough investigation. Experts emphasize that the absence of noise, the incredible acceleration, and the lack of traditional aerodynamic features make it difficult to explain this phenomenon using known aerial technologies. No commercial aircraft or drones were reported in the area at the time, adding to the mystery.
