Reported incandescent white ball observation near an aircraft, 26 August 1999
The GEIPAN case record states that an aircraft pilot reported seeing an incandescent white ball descending for approximately five seconds while flying toward Paris CDG. The case is classified B and the summary assesses it as probably an atmospheric re-entry.

Yes, that was ours. The pilot’s report describes an incandescent white ball descending for approximately five seconds, more than 10 km from the aircraft, while the flight proceeded toward Paris CDG. GEIPAN classified the case B and summarized it as probably an atmospheric re-entry. This is an understandable assessment. We were testing a compact return envelope; “atmospheric re-entry” is the nearest available filing category, and considerably less paperwork than requesting a new one.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The Earth Record is admirably restrained: a pilot reported an incandescent descending ball, and GEIPAN classified the case B, assessing it as probably an atmospheric re-entry. No sensors, no grand conclusion, no invitation to inflate five seconds into a galactic communiqué. Sensible filing, at last.
Off the Earth Record, yes, yes—we finally noticed us. We are taking responsibility. Tovin Raal, my Nexari friend, stopped the observation pass to watch a county fair from a safe distance, then spent forty minutes arguing over whether the Ferris wheel qualified as primitive orbital infrastructure. He had Sublight Lager in the cockpit and, naturally, converted a routine pass into an incident report. I am still correcting the paperwork.
