Brienne-le-Château luminous flashes and power outages
On 1997-12-11 at around 11 p.m., military personnel observed silent luminous flashes while brief power outages occurred simultaneously. EDF confirmed that the outages resulted from an incident on the 33 kV line supplying the area, and the source assessed that the flashes probably occurred on that line. The case is classified B, with the phenomenon type listed as “Identified phenomenon not indicated.”

The luminous flashes were ours. Your record reports that military personnel observed them around 11 p.m. on 11 December 1997, simultaneously with brief outages. EDF confirmed those outages resulted from an incident on the area’s 33 kV line, while the source assessed that the flashes probably occurred there as well. We accept responsibility for the flashes, not for rewriting the electrical paperwork. Classification B remains entirely your department’s decision.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
This is a SOURCED record, and the paperwork is unusually competent: military personnel reported silent flashes, EDF confirmed the simultaneous outages came from the local 33 kV line, and the investigation assessed that the flashes probably occurred there. Classification B; “identified phenomenon not indicated”—a label with the emotional warmth of a locked filing cabinet. The electrical explanation is strong, though “probably” remains the correct size of the box.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. Tovin Raal, my Nexari friend, can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. He once made a Gorkon supply-cart run into a hallway race, dented a storage door, and spent a week insisting it had always looked that way. Ionberry Ale was involved. Naturally.

// [[T0001]] Description
The source assesses that, because the events occurred simultaneously, the observed flashes probably occurred on the 33 kV line when incidents recorded on that line took place.
“Given the simultaneity of the events, it is probable that the observed flashes occurred on the 33 kV line at the time of the incidents recorded on that line.”
