Earth File #1042 // SOURCED record

Reported luminous-object observation in Breuil-Magne

A witness reported a silent luminous object moving horizontally in Breuil-Magne on July 28, 2024. It reportedly dimmed, emitted black smoke, became dark, and disappeared behind rooftops. GEIPAN classified the case as Category A and identified the observation as a sky lantern carried by the wind; the release location was not determined.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We accept responsibility for the luminous object reported over Breuil-Magne on July 28, 2024. The witness described a silent horizontal light that dimmed, produced a small amount of black smoke, became dark, and vanished behind rooftops. GEIPAN classified the case as Category A: a sky lantern carried by the wind. This is a respectable terrestrial interpretation. The investigation did not determine where the lantern was released, which is convenient. We will not be filing that portion of the flight plan.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced Earth Record is admirably unromantic: Category A, a sky lantern carried by the wind, with the smoke and yellow-to-black fade matching that explanation. The unresolved detail is merely where it was released—less a gateway to the stars than a gap in the paperwork. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. We are taking responsibility for this one, though “us” means my old friend Sela Venn, a Velyrian who borrowed my access badge to show younger cousins an observation deck. She had Ionberry Ale, an inflated opinion of parking beacons, and no idea the badge logs every door. I can read those logs. I still can. Please stop filing ordinary family misconduct as a visitation.

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: Witness Report, Official Scientific Investigation, and GEIPAN Classification.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN classified it as a sky lantern carried by the wind..

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?

The observation occurred on July 28, 2024, in Breuil-Magne, in the Charente-Maritime department and Poitou-Charentes region.
Claim #11397 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“On the evening of July 28, 2024, from his apartment in Breuil-Magne (Charente-Maritime, 17), the witness observed a luminous phenomenon appearing in the form of an incandescent ball.”

The witness reported a silent luminous object that moved horizontally, gradually lost intensity, emitted black smoke, became dark, and disappeared behind nearby rooftops.
Claim #11398 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“During its movement, the object's luminous intensity gradually decreased, accompanied by the emission of black smoke. The object became completely dark while maintaining its trajectory.”
Source: BREUIL-MAGNE (17) 28.07.2024 // [[T0002]] paragraph beginning "During its movement"
GEIPAN determined that the case was an observation of a sky lantern carried by the wind.
Claim #11399 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“With low strangeness and good consistency* (single witness but video of the UAP), this case proved to be the observation of a sky lantern.”
Source: BREUIL-MAGNE (17) 28.07.2024 // [[T0002]] paragraph beginning "With low strangeness"
The reported visual characteristics corresponded to those of a sky lantern, including a color change from yellow to black and a small amount of smoke when its burner goes out.
Claim #11400 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“This type of object typically has a burner that goes out after a few minutes of flight, which manifests as a change in color (from yellow to black) and the emission of a small amount of smoke.”
Source: BREUIL-MAGNE (17) 28.07.2024 // [[T0002]] paragraph beginning "The description and visual characteristics"
The reported trajectory was consistent with the direction of the wind measured at the time of the event.
Claim #11401 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“The apparent trajectory of the UAP is also consistent is consistent with the direction of the wind measured at the time of the events.”
Source: BREUIL-MAGNE (17) 28.07.2024 // [[T0002]] paragraph beginning "The apparent trajectory"
The investigation did not determine where the lantern had been released.
Claim #11402 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“The investigation did not make it possible to determine from where this lantern might have been released (see the investigation report).”
Source: BREUIL-MAGNE (17) 28.07.2024 // [[T0002]] paragraph beginning "The investigation did not make it possible"
GEIPAN classified the case as Category A, identifying it as a sky lantern carried by the wind.
Claim #11403 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“GEIPAN classifies the case as “A,” observation of a sky lantern carried by the wind.”

The case page lists a strangeness value of 0.12 and a consistency value of 0.72.
