robbert van den broeke photographs: "light" phenomena
by nancy talbott
blt research team inc.

- part 1 -

robbert, self-portrait, daytime-september 2004.

all photos in this report are taken by robbert v/d broeke unless otherwise noted & may not be reproduced without written permission from him, or the blt research team.

beginning in the early to mid-1990s, when robbert van den broeke was just a teenager, he began to regularly record strange objects and light phenomena in his photographs. in some instances he would see something unusual prior to taking photos, but often the anomalies were only apparent on the developed film (or, since 2002, on the led screen of his digital camera). by now (spring, 2009) robbert has taken literally thousands of bizarre photographs—using many different cameras--most of which have been catalogued by date in an archive which i estimate must contain a minimum of 10,000 photographs.

i have been visiting robbert and his family for 10 years, usually spending 2-3 weeks each summer with them in their home in hoeven, holland. during this time i have personally witnessed a variety of amazing incidents, most of which have included the production by robbert of hundreds of anomalous photographs. i have observed him closely as he has taken an enormous range of very strange photos, using several different cameras in both daytime and at night—and i have never seen any indication that he has deliberately manipulated either the cameras or the physical environment to produce these bizarre events or the photographic images.

since i am aware that photographic images can be manipulated and because i am not technically sophisticated myself, i have enlisted the expertise of an mit-trained analyst in evaluating many of robbert's images and have also carried out some control experiments myself. at the end of each section i've provided the relevant results from these exercises.

additionally, although i have seen many of the thousands of photographs taken by robbert when i have not been present—and although those photographs are every bit as curious as those contained in this report—it seemed sensible that, in this introductory report, i use primarily those photos taken by robbert while he was in my presence and using my camera. during the early years i paid close attention to everything he did, and didn't, do. in recent years i have sometimes been less rigorous, although i have continued to devise new strategies in my attempts to figure out what is going on.
