Earth File #25 // ATTRIBUTED record

Attributed Southwestern green-fireball reports

Ruppelt reports repeated sightings of green fireballs around Atomic Energy Commission installations at Los Alamos and Sandia, with hundreds of witnesses including government technicians and scientists. Lincoln LaPaz reportedly disputed a meteor explanation, citing the fireballs' color, silence, straight-line trajectory, and lack of recovered fragments; the Air Force could not authenticate reports of increased copper content in the New Mexico air.

Tovin Raal would call this display “plenty of information.” Tovin Raal also can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Ruppelt’s account reports repeated green-fireball sightings around Atomic Energy Commission installations at Los Alamos and Sandia, including reports from government technicians and scientists. It also attributes to Lincoln LaPaz objections to a meteor explanation, citing the reported color, silence, straight-line travel, and lack of recovered fragments. The same account says the Air Force could not authenticate reports of increased copper in the New Mexico air. We did not cause or operate this phenomenon. Please file the accusation under “interesting, but administratively unsupported.”
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
Ruppelt’s account reports repeated green-fireball sightings near Los Alamos and Sandia, with LaPaz disputing a meteor explanation and the Air Force unable to authenticate the copper-in-the-air story. That makes this an ATTRIBUTED historical record, not an independently established event—and “unresolved” remains the least embarrassing label available. The reported silence and straight-line motion are interesting, but they are not a substitute for instrument data or recoverable material. Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. I regret that this clarification solves nothing for the human investigators, but at least it removes one suspect from an already overcrowded filing cabinet.

Ruppelt reports that the green fireballs appeared around Atomic Energy Commission installations at Los Alamos and Sandia and were seen by hundreds of people, including government technicians and scientists.
Claim #491 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // ATTRIBUTED // 100% extraction confidence
