The GEIPAN case record documents a brief observation on 21 April 1980. A gardener reportedly heard whistling, saw a burst of flame, and saw a small, rainbow-colored object fall nearby; gendarmes reportedly found whitish powder and burned grass. The case is classified C because reliable analysis information was lacking and no trace was ultimately found in the archives.

The GEIPAN record describes a brief 21 April 1980 observation at Le Pellerin: a gardener reportedly heard whistling, saw flame, and saw a small rainbow-colored object fall nearby. Gendarmes reportedly recorded powder and burned grass; the archive also notes no crater-like mark, absent analysis results, and classification C. We did not operate this phenomenon. The colors were not ours, the powder was not ours, and the paperwork—regrettably—was also not ours.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A brief fall, reported flame, powder, burned grass, and a possible metal piece: memorable, certainly. Identifiable, no. The GEIPAN record classifies this one C—lack of reliable information—with analysis results unavailable in the archive and no trace ultimately found. That is not a conclusion of extraterrestrial origin; it is a conclusion that the paperwork did not survive its encounter with reality. Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. I can say that plainly without pretending it solves the human case. The box remains correctly labeled “unresolved,” which is less glamorous than “visitor hardware” but considerably more defensible.

The case record lists the observation date as 21 April 1980.
At 11:55 a.m. on April 21, 1980, a witness reportedly heard a whistling sound, saw a burst of flame, and saw an object fall a few meters away from the northwest; the witness reported no impact noise or smoke.
“On April 21, 1980, at 11:55 a.m., a witness hears a whistling sound and is frightened by a burst of flame and the fall, a few meters from him, of an object coming from the northwest. He hears no impact noise and sees no smoke.”
“The gendarmes called to the scene observe traces on the ground: within a circle 100 m in diameter, the ground is covered with a whitish powder and the grass is burned.”
