Photo of Petit-Rechain faked?

The famous Belgian UFO Wave took place between 1989 and 1991. People saw triangular shaped objects in the skies over Belgium.

The SOBEPS (Society for the Study of Space Phenomena) collected over 650 interviews, 700 questionnaires, 300 Audio tapes with over 400h of interviews, Radar data, Photos and dozens of Videos. The Belgian Air Force sent F-16 Jet fighters several times to intercept the UFO’s – without success.

The objects were described as triangular shaped, with 3 round white-yellowish lights on the tips and one red light in the center, exactly as seen in the famous Photo of Petit-Rechain, that was taken between the 4th and 7th of April in 1990.



This so-called Photo of Petit-Rechain is supposed to be a fake!

What do we know about the Photo and the Photographer?
  • The SOBEPS Report called the 20 yo man only P.M. – so we don’t know his Name.
  • P.M. and his partner were interviewed several times and found to be credible.
  • The Photos are taken with a Praktika reflex camera and a 200 ASA-film.
  • The slide of the Photo was analyzed, even from experts of NASA and found to be not faked.
  • The Physicist Auguste Meesen and some Researchers of SOBEPS made a model of Styrofoam and put 1.5V light bulbs in it and photographed it over 100x with the original camera.
They didn’t get any Photo out of this camera like the original Petit-Rechain Photo

Then, in 2011 a man named “Patrick” came forward and said, he made a model of Styrofoam back in 1990 and photographed it.

“It’s too easy to fool people, even with a cheap model” – Patrick

One day after the original Broadcast of RTL Television Auguste Meesen visited “Patrick” and confronted him with the Results of his own faked model. And Patrick answered again and again “I don’t know”, and according to RTL, Patrick was 18 yo at that time. That doesn’t fit with the SOBEPS Report of 1990.

Of course, a photo isn’t the final evidence and if this image was faked, it wouldn’t change the hundreds of witness reports and data collected.

And finally, the question:

Why would someone who wants to stage a hoax wait for 7 months to show someone his photo and 21 years later claim that he faked it?


Maybe all we’re seeing here is a faked fake?

“The articles of Jean-Michel Abrassart and Roger Paquay are very instructive and even of some historical interest, since they will document how so-called “skeptics” were still treating the UFO phenomenon in 2010. They distort the facts, to adapt them to their beliefs or preconceptions. They drop important elements for the cases they discuss and don’t consider a large ensemble of observed facts, defining the UFO problem. Moreover, they treat the witnesses and investigators as if they were liars or fools.” – Auguste Meesen
