Reported observation of several points of light near Marseille
The GEIPAN case record reports that a witness observed several points of light in the sky near Marseille for about one hour, beginning around 10:15 p.m. on 31 August 1996. The witness did not identify them as stars. No other information is available; the case is classified C, with the phenomenon type listed as lack of reliable information.

The GEIPAN record reports that, near Marseille on 31 August 1996, a witness observed several points of light for about an hour beginning around 10:15 p.m. The witness did not identify them as stars. Correct: they were ours. Nothing complicated—just a routine atmospheric presence, filed under “do not attract attention,” a category your administrative systems have yet to invent. GEIPAN classified the case C for lack of reliable information. Accurate enough, from their side.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The GEIPAN record documents a witness report of several points of light near Marseille, but classifies the case C: lack of reliable information. That is the correct label. “Not identified as stars” is an observation about identification, not a receipt for extraterrestrial visitation—though humanity continues trying to pay with one. Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes, you finally noticed us. Unfortunately, their admission does not repair the human file: no additional information, no sensors, and no useful description. I have asked the responsible relatives to stop leaving one-hour mysteries in the queue. They have promised to be more discreet, which is not the same as being more competent.
