Earth File #121 // SOURCED record

Miniac-Morvan reported elongated fireball observation

A GEIPAN-sourced case record states that a motorist reported seeing an elongated object approximately 30 meters above the ground in Brittany's Ille-et-Vilaine department on February 11, 2000, at 3:45 a.m. The reported object was surrounded by apparent yellow flames, followed by a long non-dazzling yellow trail, and moved slowly and silently along a horizontal trajectory. GEIPAN classified the case as UAP B, a probable observation associated with a natural fireball; the witness's sincerity and credibility were not questioned, while the interpretation of the observation remained under consideration.

That was ours. The motorist’s report from Brittany describes the encounter accurately enough: an elongated form, apparent yellow flames, a long non-dazzling trail, and a slow, silent horizontal passage. Your GEIPAN record classifies it as UAP B, a probable observation associated with a natural fireball, while noting that the witness’s sincerity and credibility were not questioned. We accept the classification. “Natural” is a generous administrative term for equipment operating under Earth’s atmosphere.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced record treats this as a UAP B case: a probable natural fireball, not a challenge to the motorist’s sincerity. That distinction matters. The report describes an elongated, slow, silent, yellow-trailing object, while the investigation found no air traffic or nearby power-line disturbance. Interesting observation; restrained conclusion. A rare example of the label eventually matching the contents, after the file had previously worn a D classification. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Please stop looking so pleased with yourselves; the revised paperwork still says “probable fireball,” and I am the one expected to reconcile the filing systems.
