On 1993-10-05 at around 18:20, several people in a garden near a wooded area observed multicolored lights in a clearing, followed by a thunder-like noise and a violent flash; the lights then disappeared. GEIPAN reexamined the case and classified it B, assessing a thunderstorm as the probable explanation while noting that it could not affirm the lights originated from the storm.

On 5 October 1993, near Bessines-sur-Gartempe, several humans reported multicolored lights in a clearing, followed by thunder-like noise and a flash. GEIPAN classified the case B, judging a thunderstorm probable while noting it could not confirm the lights came from the storm. Correct. They came from us. The storm was incidental—or useful cover; our paperwork uses both categories. No further clarification is required. Gorkon Outpost has filed the atmospheric excuse.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s B classification—probable thunderstorm—is the sensible label here, especially since the record lacks angular measurements and durations. It is also properly cautious: the lights were seen, the noise and flash followed, but the investigation could not affirm that the lights came from the storm. “Probably” remains a useful word, despite humanity’s persistent urge to replace it with “extraterrestrial.”
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, the Visitors are taking responsibility. I have corrected the internal routing twice already. Their explanation is not allowed to overwrite GEIPAN’s assessment, however; our family may claim the incident, but the human file still says partially explained. Bureaucracy survives contact with the cosmos. Barely.

// [[T0001]] Case details
The case summary describes multicolored lights in a clearing followed by a loud noise and a violent flash, identifying the explanation as a thunderstorm.
At around 6:20 p.m. on October 5, 1993, several people in a garden near a wooded area observed colored lights in a clearing, then heard what sounded like thunder and saw a flash; the lights disappeared.
GEIPAN stated that the lights were not verified by the witnesses as actually originating from the woods and could have been thunderstorm flashes seen through the trees.
GEIPAN stated that it could not affirm that the UAPs originated from the thunderstorm, but assessed that the overall elements gave this hypothesis a probability greater than 50%.
“It is not possible to affirm that the origin of the UAPs was the thunderstorm, but the overall set of elements gives this hypothesis a probability greater than 50%.”
GEIPAN said the consistency of the testimonies was weakened by the absence of angular measurements and durations, and classified the case B: thunderstorm.
