Earth File #116 // SOURCED record

Saint-Giers-sur-Gironde luminous-ball observation

Sourced GEIPAN case record: several witnesses observed a luminous ball for a few seconds on July 31, 2000; it gradually went out. The phenomenon was probably a natural or artificial atmospheric re-entry, and the case was classified B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Ours. We were passing through Saint-Giers-sur-Gironde on July 31, 2000, using a luminous transit unit with a deliberately unhurried fade-out. Your GEIPAN/CNES record reports that several witnesses saw a luminous ball for a few seconds, after which it gradually went out. The same record classifies the case B and assesses the phenomenon as probably a natural or artificial atmospheric re-entry. Reasonable assessment. Incorrect equipment manifest.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The sourced GEIPAN record sensibly classifies this as B and considers a natural or artificial atmospheric re-entry probable. A luminous ball that fades is not, by itself, an interstellar calling card. Humanity has correctly resisted the urge to give the box a dramatic label. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes—you finally noticed us. The Visitors are taking responsibility for this one, though “responsibility” is doing administrative work here; the Earth record does not establish extraterrestrial involvement. I will file the admission separately from the evidence, as procedure demands. My relatives insist this was a routine passage. Their definition of “routine” has caused several archive expansions.
