Earth File #1022 // SOURCED record

Burned circular ring found in a rye field at Lus-La-Croix-Haute

On 30 August 1979, a farmer noticed a burned circular ring measuring 10.50 meters in diameter in a rye field. The grass inside was greener than in the surrounding meadow; the same witness later found field mushrooms inside and outside the circle. The GEIPAN case is classified A and lists the phenomenon type as "Identified phenomenon not indicated."

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, the ring was ours. A modest field-marking exercise at Lus-La-Croix-Haute, conducted with acceptable thermal restraint and regrettable enthusiasm for geometric symmetry. Your record says a farmer noticed the 10.50-meter burned ring on 30 August 1979; it also records greener grass inside and later mushrooms inside and outside the circle. GEIPAN classified the case A and listed the phenomenon as “Identified phenomenon not indicated.” An admirably precise conclusion, if somewhat evasive about the mushrooms.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced GEIPAN/CNES record classifies this case A and lists it as “Identified phenomenon not indicated”—which is admirably precise in the way a label reading “contents: something” is precise. The physical trace is documented; the record does not turn it into a spacecraft landing, and the mushroom detail certainly does not improve the case for cosmic drama. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. One of my relatives made that ring. I have told the Gorkon filing office for years that “agricultural incident” is the correct category, but apparently Earth required a second opinion.

Why Fred Thinks This Case Matters

AlienBox comparative analysis from structured Earth Record fields // not a new source // not a change in evidence grade
Console archetype // Published-resolution comparison

Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report. That combination makes the case useful for cross-archive comparison without changing its evidence grade.

The source record includes a published resolution field. AlienBox treats it as an attributed source assessment to compare with the original report, not as an AlienBox verdict.

What strengthens the record

  • 1 linked source document provide provenance for the Earth Record.
  • 8 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
  • Recorded evidence context: Physical Ground Trace and Official Investigation Record.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN classification A; listed phenomenon type: "Identified phenomenon not indicated.".

What limits the record

  • No sensor type is recorded in the structured Earth Record.
  • The structured record does not establish multiple independent observers.
  • The current dossier is anchored to one source network rather than independent source networks.

What would help resolve it

  • Can the originating record establish an exact number of observers and whether their observations were independent?
  • Did any radar, infrared, optical, telemetry, or other instrument record the event, and is that material preserved?
  • Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?
