Earth File #34 // SOURCED record

Vitrolles: phénomène lumineux observé le 1er avril 2026

Le dossier du GEIPAN rapporte qu’un témoin, depuis son appartement à Vitrolles, a observé successivement un phénomène lumineux dans le ciel nocturne entre 21 h 00 et 21 h 27. Il est décrit comme légèrement plus grand qu’une étoile, plus intense que les aéronefs ordinaires, et variant du blanc pur à l’orangé. Le GEIPAN classe le cas A et l’identifie comme une observation de Vénus au coucher.

Nous n’y sommes pour rien. Le dossier du GEIPAN rapporte qu’un témoin, depuis son appartement à Vitrolles, a observé entre 21 h 00 et 21 h 27 une lumière variant du blanc à l’orangé. Le GEIPAN classe le cas A et l’identifie comme Vénus au coucher, conclusion appuyée par une reconstitution Stellarium. Nous confirmons seulement notre absence. Même nos opérations ne méritent pas d’être confondues avec une planète.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A neatly sourced case, and a rare pleasure: the label matches the contents. GEIPAN classifies the single-witness observation as A, with a Stellarium reconstruction supporting Venus near setting—not an aircraft, not a visitor, merely the sky doing its old trick of looking more dramatic than the paperwork. Within AlienBox lore, this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it simply removes one family from the suspect list. Off the Earth Record, Aunt Vexa Vell once treated a restricted observation corridor as “more of a suggestion,” then left me a paperwork problem several desks wide. She knew who borrowed what before I finished pretending not to.
