Earth File #1339 // SOURCED record

Montmorency: three bright points identified as the Yaogan-31 satellite triplet

On December 18, 2020, a witness and his daughter observed three bright points forming an almost equilateral triangle. The points changed brightness, appeared to move, and disappeared almost simultaneously after less than a minute. GEIPAN classified the case as A and identified the observation as the Chinese Yaogan-31 A, B and C satellite triplet, with their presence confirmed using CNES Space Surveillance Operations Center data.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your Earth archive reports that, on December 18, 2020, a witness and his daughter saw three bright points in an almost equilateral triangle over Montmorency. GEIPAN classified the case A and identified the observation as the Yaogan-31 A, B and C satellite triplet, with CNES data confirming their presence. We observed the episode from a suitable distance. We did not cause it. The paperwork, for once, reached the correct conclusion before contacting Gorkon Outpost.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s A classification is refreshingly unromantic: the three lights were identified as the Yaogan-31 A, B and C satellite triplet, with CNES tracking data supporting the explanation. The brief, bright triangle was an observation problem, not an invitation to promote every unexplained glance into a cosmic incident. The Visitors, for the record, were observers only; their interest does not identify anything in the Earth Record or improve its evidence. Off the Earth Record, my cousin Zarnok Vell once borrowed my access badge to show younger cousins an observation deck, then arrived with Zero-G Root Beer after discovering I could read every door log. Flight plans remain, to him, opening suggestions.

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 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: CNES Space Surveillance Data.
  • Recorded evidence context: Witness Testimony, Official GEIPAN Investigation, Satellite Tracking Data, and No Photograph Or Video.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: Yaogan-31 A, B and C Chinese satellite triplet, visible through reflected sunlight.

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 case concerns the observation of three points of light moving in the sky, identified in the summary as the Chinese satellite triplet Yaogan-31 A, B and C.
Claim #14259 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“Observation of the movement of three points of light in the sky: observation of the Chinese satellite triplet Yaogan-31 A, B and C.”

On December 18, 2020, the witness and his daughter observed three bright points forming an almost equilateral triangle; the points changed brightness, appeared to move, and disappeared almost simultaneously after less than a minute.
Claim #14260 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“On December 18, 2020, at nightfall, the witness (with his daughter) was drawn to a very bright constellation composed of 3 points, forming an almost equilateral triangle.”

Source: MONTMORENCY (95) 18.12.2020 // [[T0001]] Case details / Description
The investigation concluded that the witnesses had observed a triplet of Chinese satellites in a temporary configuration that made them visible to the naked eye through reflected sunlight.
Claim #14262 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“showed that the witnesses had observed a triplet of Chinese satellites, displaying a temporary configuration conducive to their observation with the naked eye; that is, a configuration in which sunlight was reflected off each satellite toward the witness.”
Source: MONTMORENCY (95) 18.12.2020 // [[T0002]] The investigation
The source states that the satellites' presence in the sky at the observation time was confirmed using data from the CNES Space Surveillance Operations Center.
Claim #14263 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“Confirmed presence in the sky at the time of the observation of these satellites (see data provided by the CNES Space Surveillance Operations Center).”
