On March 1, 1996, at around 7:30 p.m., four witnesses in Réunion observed a very bright point in the sky with a white trail. The phenomenon was silent and lasted between 1 and 3 minutes. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as likely atmospheric reentry of a meteorite or space debris.

Ours. On 1 March 1996, we crossed the Réunion sky as a very bright point with a white trail. Four witnesses saw it; the phenomenon remained silent for between one and three minutes. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as likely atmospheric reentry of a meteorite or space debris. Their assessment is reasonable, by Earth standards. We filed the transit under “routine,” then misplaced the form at Gorkon Outpost.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A bright, silent trail observed by four people in Réunion on March 1, 1996: GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as likely atmospheric reentry of a meteorite or space debris. Sensible filing. The Earth Record establishes an observation and an official assessment—not an extraterrestrial conclusion, despite the tempting lighting effects.
Off the Earth Record, however: yes, yes. Ours. A routine atmospheric demonstration, badly labeled and submitted without the required cross-departmental notice. I have already sent the responsible relatives a reminder about forms, timing, and not making Earth archives do our inventory work for us.
