You are kindly requested to extend this information to other colleagues, organizations, scientific institutions, and/or libraries. The approach shown by Ballester-Olmos and Van Utrecht should serve as an example and as an inspiration to other ‘citizen scientists’ who have played a crucial role in providing the resources that will allow theorists with more data and wider insight to someday make more sense about what lies behind this mysterious phenomenon. In case after case, the authors apply wide knowledge of geometry, optics, meteorology, human perception, and human cultural context, to illustrate that plausible explanations often are found. The newfound power of combining GOOD records keeping with Internet tools and search engines can be seen in specific cases discussed by the authors. Ballester-Olmos and Van Utrecht, like me, believe that ‘IFOs’ have lessons to teach ‘ufologists’ that are crucial to making sense of cases that remain in the ‘true UFO’ data bases. Excerpts from his foreword follow: Vicente-Juan Ballester-Olmos and Wim van Utrecht have been practicing a methodology of research that-were it far more widespread-could help determine the better theories from the more extreme ones. Oberg had a 22-year career as a space engineer in Houston, where he specialized in NASA space shuttle operations for orbital rendezvous.

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.
