The GEIPAN archive records that several witnesses reported seeing a luminous ball with a multicolored trail moving at very high speed from south to north on 20 November 1981 at around 6 p.m. The observation reportedly lasted 15 to 30 seconds under clear skies, and one witness reported hearing a whistling sound. The archive assesses the event as probably an atmospheric reentry and classifies the case as B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN archive records that, on 20 November 1981 near Bourg-Saint-Maurice, several witnesses reported a luminous ball with a multicolored trail moving south to north at very high speed. One witness also reported a whistling sound; the observation reportedly lasted 15 to 30 seconds. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as probably atmospheric reentry. We deny operating or causing it. The paperwork may file the matter under “identified phenomenon not indicated.” Sensible enough.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A SOURCED record, and a comparatively tidy one: GEIPAN classifies it B and assesses the observation as probably an atmospheric reentry. That is not the same as “nothing happened”; it is simply the archive’s best-supported explanation for a brief luminous event reported by several witnesses. Also, for the avoidance of interdepartmental confusion: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case, but it does remove one suspect from my queue. Off the Earth Record, my younger cousin Pip Vell once took a decommissioned courier pod joyriding because the navigation lock was “more of a guideline.” He came back with Zero-G Root Beer and another Earth cup for the collection. Different incident. Same regrettable confidence.
