EXCLUSIVE, his first American interview. For many years now piles of a very fine-grained white powder have been appearing in conjunction with a number of strange events around Robbert van den Broeke of Holland. The first incident occurred in 1997 when a large light-ball suddenly appeared, rotating outside the balcony of Robbert's bedroom. When it was gone there were burn marks left on the overhanging eaves & the outsides of the balcony doors--and the white material was splashed on the balcony floor.
