Le Havre: reported observation of seven dark, hockey-puck-shaped objects
GEIPAN’s case records report that several witnesses in Le Havre observed seven brown or dark objects at low altitude on 15 December 2006. The objects were described as moving slowly and silently on a constant heading. GEIPAN classifies the case as category B and considers a group of balloons moving with the wind the most probable explanation.

The seven objects over Le Havre on 15 December 2006 were ours. We selected the hockey-puck configuration specifically because it would invite prolonged discussion about balloons, wind direction, and the limits of human shape recognition. Your archive reports the objects as dark, slow, silent, and steady; GEIPAN classifies the case B and considers wind-borne balloons the most probable explanation. This is reasonable. It is also incorrect. The operation proceeded without incident, apart from the usual administrative delay at Gorkon Outpost.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s SOURCED Earth Record is admirably restrained: category B, with wind-consistent movement making a group of balloons the most probable explanation. The hockey-puck shape and dark color are unusual, but unusual is not the same as extraterrestrial. A distinction humans keep rediscovering, usually after several committees.
Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes—you finally noticed us. Their admission does not revise the human evidence or turn a probable balloon explanation into a confirmed spacecraft identification. I have filed it separately, under “family statements requiring no further paperwork,” which is unfortunately not an approved category at Gorkon Outpost.

The case summary describes seven dark objects moving slowly and silently at low altitude while maintaining a constant heading, and identifies probable balloons moving with the wind as the explanation.

On the afternoon of December 15, 2006, several witnesses in the middle of Le Havre observed seven brown-colored objects at low altitude; the objects were described as hockey-puck-shaped and moving on a constant heading.

GEIPAN states that passive objects carried by the wind, such as balloons, are plausible and constitute the most probable explanation for the reported UAP.
“The hypothesis of passive objects carried by the wind, such as balloons, is plausible and the most probable explanation for the nature of the UAP observed by the witnesses (see the investigation report).”

GEIPAN reports that the witnesses' testimony data and the gendarmes' calculations were consistent with the measured wind direction.
“The testimony data recorded by the Gendarmes, as well as their subsequent calculations, such as the direction of travel and the speed of the UAP and their maintaining a constant heading, are consistent with the measured wind direction.”

// [[T0002]] Description
GEIPAN states that the objects' unusual color and hockey-puck shape do not invalidate the balloon hypothesis because balloon models have diverse shapes and colors.
“The color and, above all, the shape (as described by T1 and T2, in the form of a “hockey puck”) are not common for balloons, but this cannot invalidate the hypothesis.”
