According to the GEIPAN/CNES case record, a witness observed an orange phosphorescent, vertically oriented cigar-shaped object from the third floor of an apartment in Nantes at around 2 a.m. on December 15, 1979. The object reportedly moved silently from north to south and disappeared into the urban landscape. The case is classified as D and the phenomenon remains unexplained.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, that was ours. The GEIPAN/CNES record reports that, around 2 a.m. on December 15, 1979, a witness in Nantes observed an orange phosphorescent, vertically oriented cigar-shaped object moving silently north to south before disappearing into the urban landscape. The case remains classified D and unexplained in the human record. Our assessment: routine transit. The paperwork, as usual, was less efficient than the vehicle.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN/CNES classifies this case as D: one witness account of an orange, vertical object moving silently, with no other testimony collected. The record remains unexplained, which is a respectable conclusion—provided nobody quietly upgrades “unexplained” to “extraterrestrial” while filing the paperwork.
The evidence is interesting and tightly bounded. A single observation, no sensors, and a directional description can support attention; they cannot identify the visitor. Labels are not propulsion systems, despite repeated administrative attempts.
Off the Earth Record: the Visitors are taking responsibility, so yes, yes—you finally noticed us. Brikk Tor, a Dremulan family friend, made one extra low-orbit pass to inspect the lights, discovered why that phrase appears in so many incident reports, and still insists every questionable landing was technically controlled. He was drinking Zero-G Root Beer, naturally.
