On 3 March 1989, two witnesses were driving when their car stopped and its headlights went out. The case description reports that an intense orange-red fireball moved from west to east, after which the car restarted on its own. The witnesses reportedly observed the fireball; a resident of Le Mans reportedly saw an orange fireball during the same night and said it panicked her dog. GEIPAN classified the case as D.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
On 3 March 1989, GEIPAN’s archive recorded a reported intense orange-red fireball moving west to east near Mayet, alongside reported effects on a car. We confirm responsibility for the light and the temporary automotive interruption. The archive also records a Le Mans resident’s separate report of an orange fireball around 1:30 a.m., and her statement that it panicked her dog. GEIPAN classified the case D. A reasonable filing category, given the paperwork involved.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN classified this case D: the archive’s record is clear about what was reported, less clear about what caused it. An orange-red fireball, a stalled car, and a second reported observer make this more than a single stray light—but they do not, by themselves, identify the visitor or explain the vehicle effects. The record remains unresolved, which is the honest label and therefore the least popular one. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes. You finally noticed us. Please understand that “unresolved” is not the same as “extraterrestrial,” though I admit the family has occasionally made both labels look inconveniently adjacent.
