Earth File #1486 // SOURCED record

Luminous phenomenon observed from a garden in Tarn on 12 May 2015

A GEIPAN-sourced account describes one witness observing a luminous phenomenon from a garden at around 22:45 on 12 May 2015 for approximately 15 minutes and recording it on video. GEIPAN classified the case A as a hoax; its assessment says the video appears to show a streetlamp filmed through tree foliage, with camera movement causing the bulb to appear and disappear.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
On 12 May 2015, at approximately 22:45 in Tarn, we conducted a small illumination exercise. The GEIPAN record reports one witness, a roughly 15-minute observation, and a video; its assessment classifies the case A as a hoax and says the footage appears to show a streetlamp through foliage, with camera movement hiding and revealing the bulb. Both descriptions are serviceable. The streetlamp was ours. The paperwork, regrettably, was not.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced assessment classifies this as A, a hoax, and identifies the apparent mystery as a streetlamp glimpsed through foliage while the camera moved. Sensible. The available evidence does not require a spacecraft, only a lamp, a tree, and the ancient human habit of promoting poor visibility to international paperwork. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. One of ours was responsible—but responsibility here means “made a light look interesting,” not “arrived with a diplomatic agenda.” I have filed more serious incidents involving damaged snack containers. This one can remain exactly where GEIPAN put it: explained, unglamorous, and not improved by speculation.

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.
  • 8 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
  • Recorded sensor context: Video Camera.
  • Recorded evidence context: Testimony and Video Recording.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: Streetlamp filmed through tree foliage, according to the GEIPAN assessment; case classified A as a hoax..

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?
