This is FOTOCAT Report #7 and, like the rest of the series, it is available free online.

The book has over 400 pages, 366 illustrations (pictures, diagrams, maps, sky charts, etc.) and contains a statistical review of the cases that were studied. Though only a small country in Central Europe, Belgium’s rich UFO patrimony serves as a representative sample of UFO phenomenology worldwide. The authors have investigated every event weighing the evidence for real anomalies occurring in our atmosphere. The book is a documented history of four decades’ worth of UFO incidents that involved witnesses who provided photographic evidence (be that negatives, prints, slides, films, or videotapes), on top of their own testimony. For instance, the included catalog not only has numerous examples of how normal folks can be deceived by common phenomena, it also reveals the dubious background against which some photographs that received worldwide endorsement made their way into UFO history. But the reader will certainly find more than descriptions of UFO sightings and detailed analyses of UFO images. It is a scientifically oriented inquiry into a collection of supposed UFO pictures taken in Belgium in the period from 1950 to 1988. Belgium in UFO Photographs – Volume 1 is a research book that makes no concessions to literature.
