It looked like the kind of plane that comes from PIK full of men in orange boiler suits.
Spooky! The B- registration prefix is used by China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Bulgaria, Albania plus a few others - Belgium not being one of them (O- or OO-). Perhaps a cargo plane, being transferred between airlines? Or you, I and this thread will disappear shortly
