La Verpillière observation — reported oval object, 25 April 1983
GEIPAN's case record reports that several witnesses observed an oval-shaped object moving very slowly from west toward south-southwest near La Verpillière. The object was described as light and almost transparent, sometimes metallic or silvery, and reportedly became obscured by clouds before disappearing. GEIPAN classifies the case as B and assesses that the witnesses probably observed a meteorological sounding balloon.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We did not operate this phenomenon. Your GEIPAN record reports that several witnesses saw an oval object near La Verpillière on 25 April 1983, described as light, almost transparent, and sometimes silvery. The record says it moved slowly west toward south-southwest, met clouds, and disappeared. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed that a meteorological sounding balloon was probably involved. An admirably terrestrial explanation. No paperwork from us was filed.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The Earth Record describes a slow, pale oval and GEIPAN classifies the case B, assessing it as probably a meteorological sounding balloon. That is not a glamorous conclusion, but it is a properly labeled one: “unidentified” is not a synonym for “extraterrestrial,” despite humanity’s persistent efforts to make it so.
For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. That does not independently solve the human case; it merely prevents us from taking credit for a balloon-shaped mystery. Zarnok Vell once detoured from a routine observation route to watch an Earth drive-in from above, forgetting that navigation lights are visible from below. He apologized with Zero-G Root Beer and snacks. Flight plans remain, in his department, opening suggestions.
