Do "lights in the sky" cause such things?

It is possible that a natural phenomenon of a known or unknown nature might cause electromagnetic interference. But I would be more inclined to blame coincidence, myself. On a planet with billions of observers, million-to-one chances happen thousands of times every day.

IMO, misidentified planets, incompetence and equipment failure are all too often profered as explanations.

Usually because they are the correct ones.

Belgium is interesting in that multiple eyewitnesses, if they're to be believed, saw objects, triangular craft, not just "lights in the sky."

Some of the stories told about the Belgian flap are more than a little exaggerated; see
