Jerry,

I too have been away and mucho busy. Sorry for the delay in my
reply.

I am not an authority on the Belgium sightings. I, don't don't
have cases up my sleeve that are not of public knowledge. I
merely and merrily got a good reference on the sightings:

Vague d'Ovni sur La Belgique, written by the SOBEPS in 1991,
a 502 pages book on the Belgium UFO flap.

The tight texts have been written by maybe a dozen different
individuals. I don't think this book has ever been translated
into English. This is rather sad: the Belgium UFO flap gives
some new insight on the phenomenon. Of course this information
wouldn't keep the bedunkers away from their agenda or the
skeptics away from their beliefs, but some of the stuff does
make you think that some very important experiment was
undergone.

I gather there has been a sequel to the book, but I haven't been
able to put my hands on it. Maybe, it's time I do.

Not interested in having any kind of discussion with skeptics: a
total loss of time. No argument or case of any nature has ever
changed a skeptic's or a debunker's attitude towards the subject
of UFOs. I don't pretend to be able to. Of course, the bad guys
will pretend the same about UFO "buffs". Great, let's have a
divorce then. We'll keep the house, they can take the rest.

>(i.e. analyses that haven't been performed already.)

I cannot undergo this kind of work in my present situation.
Programming computer applications leaves you very little time to
do anything else. I am even behind my List readings and I have
just begun some translations for someone who will likely kill me
if I don't do something quick.

But nothing is impossible and I will surely throw in a few
quoted lines when I finally lose patience over good old Tim's
"satisfactions" concerning the flying triangles in Belgium.

As for connections, Andy Denne did report the following in
August:
