Belgium has been bullied by drones for the past week or so. Every day new sightings pop up, mostly around military bases, airports and now a nuclear facility. Nobody knows who it is so far. Russia gets blamed.

No real thing like this is happening in The Netherlands. So why Belgium? Any other country dealing with this?

I saw one with my own eyes. Thought that was pretty dope.

Yeah I noticed that too. There's an airport nearby so I thought it was just a plane but the lights were brighter, bigger (because it was lower to the ground I guess) but they also flashed in a pattern you usually don't see with planes. Oh and it was just hovering in the air instead of moving. It's a shame I couldn't get a better look with my binocolars as it was too dark outside.

One passed pretty close above my home. At first I thought it was a plane as well, but as it got closer it looked like a weird military drone, a bit triangular with 3 safety lights instead of the usual 2+2 config. The 3 lights all blinked together as well, and super slowly.
