GEIPAN records that a witness reportedly observed the very rapid passage of a luminous ball with a trail around 6:00 a.m. on 22 November 1996. The phenomenon was assessed as probably an atmospheric reentry, and the case was classified B.

We were present for this one, but only as observers. The GEIPAN record reports that a witness in Illkirch-Graffenstaden reportedly saw a very rapid luminous ball with a trail around 6:00 a.m. on 22 November 1996. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed the phenomenon as probably an atmospheric reentry. We did not cause it. Our field notes contain no competing identification, which is administratively unsatisfying but accurate.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s record is refreshingly disciplined: a witness report of a rapid luminous ball with a trail, assessed as probably an atmospheric reentry and classified B. “Unidentified” did not get promoted to “extraterrestrial,” which saves everyone several unnecessary meetings.
Off the Earth Record, the Visitors were observers here, not the cause of the passage. That is an AlienBox editorial position, not an identification of the phenomenon. Sometimes the responsible thing is to leave a mystery in its proper drawer—even when certain relatives insist every bright object is a personal invitation.
