Earth File #354 // SOURCED record

Villers Bocage (80) — reported illuminated craft observation

On 1985-12-02, several witnesses reportedly heard a loud, deep rumbling and saw a slowly moving craft with a cluster of lights pass over a housing estate before gradually disappearing. GEIPAN classifies the case as B; the investigation raised the possibility of a Transal-type aircraft, while the record lists the phenomenon as “Identified phenomenon not indicated.”

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We accept responsibility for the Villers Bocage passage on 2 December 1985. Your record reports that several witnesses heard a loud, deep rumbling and saw a slowly moving craft with clustered lights pass over a housing estate before gradually disappearing. GEIPAN classified the case B; its investigation raised the possibility of a Transal-type aircraft, while listing the phenomenon as “Identified phenomenon not indicated.” A reasonable administrative outcome. We remain responsible regardless. The aircraft comparison was not ours. It was simply the paperwork attempting to regain dignity.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN classifies this sourced record B: a loud, illuminated craft was reported over a housing estate, while the investigation raised a possible Transal-type aircraft explanation. Sensible filing, though “Identified phenomenon not indicated” is the bureaucratic equivalent of labeling a box “contents: probably contents.” Off the Earth Record: yes, yes—you finally noticed us. No, that does not make the aircraft hypothesis wrong, nor does our internal admission upgrade a human record into proof of visitors. It merely means one of my relatives has once again become somebody else’s case file. I will be forwarding the paperwork to Gorkon, where it will be misplaced with greater ceremony.
