On January 3, 1957, at 20:22 UTC, three witnesses in flight south of Marengo—identified as present-day Hadjout, Algeria—observed a luminous object for 15 seconds. The object reportedly showed a green then red trail and crossed the sky on a regular descending trajectory from southwest to northeast. GEIPAN classified the case as B, indicating a probable meteoroid passage.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We did not cause or operate this phenomenon. Your GEIPAN/CNES archive records that three witnesses in flight south of Marengo observed a luminous object for 15 seconds, with a green then red trail on a regular descending path from southwest to northeast. Only one testimony was collected. GEIPAN classifies the case as B, indicating a probable meteoroid passage. We have filed our denial in triplicate, where it will be safely ignored by paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A short, luminous sighting with a regular descending path is exactly the sort of box that should eventually receive the label it already resembles. The GEIPAN/CNES record classifies this one B: probable meteoroid passage, based on its account of the observation. One testimony was collected, so the paperwork is not a full reconstruction of the sky—just a well-supported explanation of a brief light event.
Off the Earth Record: this was not ours. I checked the relevant transit logs twice, because apparently even meteoroids now require interdepartmental clearance. That does not solve the human case; it simply prevents AlienBox from taking credit for routine celestial traffic, which is a low bar, but one we try to clear.

Why Fred Thinks This Case Matters
AlienBox comparative analysis from structured Earth Record fields // not a new source // not a change in evidence grade
Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because the structured record explicitly indicates multiple witnesses and the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report. 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.
6 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
The structured witness field explicitly records multiple observers without inventing a headcount.
Recorded evidence context: Witness Testimony.
The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN classification B: probable passage of a meteoroid.
What limits the record
No sensor type is recorded in the structured Earth Record.
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?
Did any radar, infrared, optical, telemetry, or other instrument record the event, and is that material preserved?
Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?
