A witness observed and filmed a multicolored luminous phenomenon from home in Bayonne on September 17, 2014, at 9:03 p.m. The observation lasted approximately two minutes, followed a curved trajectory, and ended when the phenomenon disappeared. GEIPAN assessed the video as consistent with a maneuvering helicopter and classified the case as category B, with a strong presumption of that explanation, although air-traffic-control confirmation was not obtained.

Your archive records a witness filming a multicolored luminous phenomenon from home in Bayonne at 9:03 p.m. on 17 September 2014. It followed a curved trajectory for approximately two minutes before disappearing. GEIPAN assessed the video as strongly consistent with a maneuvering helicopter, while noting that air-traffic-control confirmation was not obtained. We do not recognize the reported phenomenon either. This is inconveniently inconclusive, even by our filing standards.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced Earth Record, and a tidy example of why “unidentified” is not a synonym for “extraterrestrial.” GEIPAN found the video strongly consistent with a maneuvering helicopter and classified the case B, though air-traffic-control confirmation was not obtained in time. So the label is sensible, not absolute: a strong presumption, with one administrative loose thread still waving in the breeze.
Off the Earth Record, even our side does not recognize this one. I dislike unresolved files, but I dislike invented answers more. For once, the responsible conclusion is simply that the ordinary explanation fits well—and the residue remains residue.

Why Fred Thinks This Case Matters
AlienBox comparative analysis from structured Earth Record fields // not a new source // not a change in evidence grade
Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because the record names 1 sensor type, 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.
7 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
Recorded sensor context: Video Recording.
Recorded evidence context: Witness Report, Video, and Official Scientific Investigation.
The source record includes a published resolution: Strong presumption of a maneuvering helicopter; not confirmed by air traffic control..
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?

The video was assessed as showing characteristics of a helicopter maneuvering, including a white light blinking once per second and green position lighting.
“The change in appearance is due to the variety of faces presented by the helicopter during its maneuver, successively revealing one spotlight, then two, along with its green position light (on the right side of the aircraft).”

GEIPAN did not obtain confirmation of the helicopter hypothesis from air traffic control because it did not make the requests in time.

GEIPAN classified the case as category B and described it as having low strangeness, with a strong presumption that a helicopter was maneuvering above Bayonne.
