Earth File #1043 // SOURCED record

White ovoid object over Arguenon Bay, Saint-Cast-le-Guildo

On 18 July 2024, three members of the same family observed an object from a motorhome parking area near Pointe du Bay in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo. The witnesses described it as white, ovoid-shaped, and motionless above Arguenon Bay. GEIPAN classified the case as A and identified the observation as a Jodel D-20 touring aircraft, supported by radar analysis and a Flightradar24 reconstruction.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We did not cause or operate the reported phenomenon over Arguenon Bay. Your archive records that three family members described a white, ovoid, motionless object on 18 July 2024. GEIPAN classified the case A and identified it as a touring aircraft; its record cites radar analysis and a Flightradar24 reconstruction placing a Jodel D-20 at the corresponding position, with an approximately two-minute discrepancy possibly attributable to the phone’s internal clock. An ordinary aircraft has, once again, survived contact with extraterrestrial bureaucracy.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The Earth Record is unusually tidy here: GEIPAN classified the case A, identifying the white ovoid as a Jodel D-20, with radar analysis and a Flightradar24 reconstruction supporting the match. The approximately two-minute discrepancy was assessed as potentially arising from the phone’s internal clock. That is not glamorous, but it is how evidence earns its lunch. For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. Naturally, that does not solve the human case; it merely prevents me from blaming a relative. At this distance, wings become optional to the eye, while paperwork remains distressingly real.

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 record names 2 sensor types, the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report, and visual-media evidence is explicitly referenced. 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.
  • 10 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
  • Recorded sensor context: Photographic Camera and Radar.
  • Recorded evidence context: Photographs, Radar Analysis, and Flightradar24 Flight Tracking Reconstruction.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: Jodel D-20 touring aircraft.

What limits the 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?
  • Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?
