Belgium Emergency Meeting: UAPs Can't Be Stopped

Unknown aerial objects are hovering over some of Europe’s most sensitive nuclear facilities, and authorities admit they have no idea what they are dealing with. According to reports from multiple European defense ministries, interception technology has failed, and not a single object has been successfully captured or brought down despite weeks of attempts.

On November 9th 2025, between three and five UAPs penetrated restricted airspace over the Doel nuclear power plant in Belgium, one of the country’s largest nuclear facilities providing a significant portion of the nation’s energy needs. According to the facility operator Engie, operations were not impacted, but the incident marked the latest in a systematic targeting of critical infrastructure across Europe that has been ongoing since mid-September. The objects have been spotted over military bases housing nuclear weapons, major international airports, and nuclear power plants in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Norway, and Spain.

Belgium’s Defense Minister described the operations as highly sophisticated, employing formation flying and control systems that render them resistant to jamming technology. The head of British Armed Forces, Richard Knighton stated publicly that “we don’t know, and the Belgians don’t yet know the source of those drones,” despite advanced military technology and multiple interception attempts. Police tried using helicopters and drone jamming equipment at the Kleine-Brogel Air Force Base, which according to a 2019 NATO Parliamentary Assembly report is one of six active air bases in five European countries housing B-61 nuclear bombs. The objects simply disappeared after several kilometers.

In response to the escalating threat, Belgium held an emergency meeting of the National Security Council on November 5th, resulting in immediate measures including authorization for the Belgian military to shoot down unidentified objects over sensitive sites and a €50 million investment in counter-drone capabilities. The UK, Germany, and France have deployed counter-unmanned aerial vehicle units and equipment to Belgium, yet no objects have been intercepted to date.

The situation draws stark parallels to the New Jersey incidents of November and December 2024, where according to the FBI, over 4,000 reports were filed and thousands of citizens documented observations on social media. However, federal investigators did not identify any suspects or recover any drones, and most sightings were later attributed to routine explanations despite the lack of physical evidence. President Donald Trump suggested that NATO countries should shoot down objects that violate their airspace, yet when similar incidents occurred in New Jersey, none were shot down due to federal restrictions and safety concerns.

Many officials and media outlets have blamed Russia for the current European incursions, but Belgium’s Defense Minister Theo Francken stated there is no hard evidence linking the objects to Russia, though security officials suspect Moscow may be involved. Russia denied any involvement in October. The fundamental reality remains unchanged whether in 1967 Montana, 2024 New Jersey, or 2025 Belgium: unknown objects continue to appear over the most sensitive nuclear facilities, demonstrate advanced capabilities that resist current interception technology, and authorities cannot identify, catch, or stop them.
