Ufo's boven België

Bram Conjaerts, Maarten Bernaerts Belgium 2025 90 min.

In the late 1980s, Belgium is captivated by a series of mysterious appearances in the sky. Thousands of people believe they have seen an illuminated, triangle-shaped object at night and an increasing number of people start believing in the existence of extraterrestrial life. The reports are being investigated by the government in collaboration with a group of researchers called SOBEPS, but the lack of tangible evidence only adds to the mystery. 

Director Bram Conjaerts is 8 years old when a UFO wave sweeps through Belgium. Even his own mother believes she has seen the illuminated triangle, and inspired by her story, Conjaerts decides to spend the rest of the summer sleeping in a tent in the garden. His fascination with the subject does not end there: in his documentary Ufo's boven België, he tries to map out the impact of the UFO wave in Belgium. By bringing together archive footage and interviews with those involved, he tries to paint a nuanced picture of this mysterious phenomenon.
