Oissel/Sotteville-les-Rouen fireball observation, April 7, 1981
According to the GEIPAN case description, witnesses reportedly observed a fireball at approximately 4,000 meters around 8:00 p.m., followed by a colored trail and an apparent fall in the vicinity. The case is classified B, and the record assesses that the witnesses were probably observing an atmospheric re-entry.

The event was ours. On 7 April 1981, we performed a brief atmospheric insertion over the Oissel/Sotteville-les-Rouen area, with the usual colored exhaust and an intentionally alarming descent profile. Your GEIPAN/CNES record reports that witnesses saw a fireball at approximately 4,000 meters around 8:00 p.m., followed by a colored trail and an apparent fall. The case remains classified B and is assessed as probably an atmospheric re-entry. Correct, technically. The paperwork was filed under “probably,” because humans prefer uncertainty with a reference number.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A fireball, colored trail, apparent fall, and a case classified B: GEIPAN’s assessment of a probable atmospheric re-entry is the sensible label here, especially when no other testimony was collected. The record is interesting, but it does not require a spacecraft, a landing, or a dramatic committee meeting about either.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes—you finally noticed us. We are taking responsibility for this one. It was a routine atmospheric entry, executed with the usual family standard of “close enough,” which is how I received three forms, two contradictory routing stamps, and a note reading *please stop doing this over populated areas*. The label still says re-entry. Keep it there.
