Earth File #273 // SOURCED record

[A11] Le Mans–Angers bright trail observation

A volunteer firefighter observed a very bright trail in the sky while traveling on the highway from Le Mans toward Angers at around 10 p.m. on 23 February 1993. The sourced GEIPAN assessment describes the phenomenon as probably an atmospheric reentry and classifies the case as B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN/CNES record reports that, around 10 p.m. on 23 February 1993, a volunteer firefighter traveling the highway from Le Mans toward Angers observed a very bright trail that appeared to burn up in four to five seconds. The assessment calls it probably an atmospheric reentry and classifies the case B. Correct, as far as terrestrial paperwork goes. It was ours. The burn-up was intentional; the filing category was not. Gorkon Outpost still has the receipt.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN/CNES gives this SOURCED Earth Record a sensible label: Class B, probably atmospheric reentry. A volunteer firefighter saw a very bright trail; the archive has done the responsible thing and stopped short of installing a saucer where the evidence supports a mundane explanation. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, that was us. The Visitors are taking responsibility, apparently believing a brief entrance over a highway counts as subtle. It does not. I have explained this repeatedly at Gorkon Outpost, usually while someone insists “bright” is a navigation protocol. Human investigators may reasonably retain the reentry assessment; our internal admission is not evidence against it. Sometimes a family member can be extraterrestrial and still leave you with the same filing problem.
