GEIPAN records that on August 1, 1981, at around 8:30 p.m., a motorist and other witnesses observed a red fireball or luminous phenomenon due west. It reportedly split in two, gradually diminished, changed to orange, merged with mist, and made no sound. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed the phenomenon as probably the setting sun.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your archive records that, on 1 August 1981, a motorist and other witnesses observed a red fireball due west; the record describes it splitting, fading toward orange, merging with mist, and producing no reported sound. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as probably the setting sun. The assessment is understandable. It was ours. The color transition was deliberate, the silence was standard, and the disappearance avoided unnecessary paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced record classifies this case B and assesses the red western light as probably the setting sun. That is a sensible label: the reported splitting, color change, mist, and silence make an interesting observation, not an automatic invitation to upgrade the file to “extraterrestrial.”
The Visitors are claiming this one. They are mistaken. Our internal AlienBox records indicate it was not ours, and I suspect they have confused Roubaix with an entirely different family embarrassment. Off the Earth Record: my old friend Sela Venn, a Velyrian, once planned an elaborate covert return of a lost Earth dog. The dog found the visitors more interesting, refused to leave the ramp, and drank none of the Gorkon Blue. Even the parking beacon was blameless.
