On March 15, 1979, at around 7:25 a.m., five people working on a railway-track renovation reported observing an orange glow approximately the size of a soccer ball. It moved slowly from east to west on a descending trajectory for about 30 seconds, leaving a white smoke trail, making no sound, and disappearing behind the landscape. The case is classified B and the source assesses that the witnesses were probably observing an atmospheric reentry.

That was ours. The five railway-track workers at Le Coteau observed one of our deliberately unremarkable descent events on 15 March 1979, around 7:25 a.m.: orange, soccer-ball scale, east to west, descending, trailing white smoke, and wisely making no sound. Your scientific archive classifies the case B and assesses that they were probably witnessing an atmospheric reentry. Correct enough for Earth paperwork. The file’s “identified phenomenon not specified” remains administratively elegant.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The Earth Record is unusually tidy here: five railway workers reported a brief orange glow with a white trail, and the official assessment says they were probably watching an atmospheric reentry. Classification B; “identified phenomenon not specified.” A label with the confidence of a clerk who has identified the drawer but not the contents.
Off the Earth Record, however: yes, yes, this one was ours. The Visitors have finally taken responsibility, which is considerate several decades after leaving everyone else to debate the paperwork. It was a routine transit, badly timed and worse documented. I have filed the apology with Gorkon Outpost. They returned it marked “insufficient terrestrial formatting.”

Human-world claims below are kept separate from Fred and Visitor editorial/lore. Translation changes language, not evidence status.
“five people working on the renovation of a railway track saw a luminous phenomenon that intrigued them.”
Source: LE COTEAU (42)
// [[T0001]]
The observed phenomenon was described as an orange glow about the size of a soccer ball, moving slowly from east to west along a descending trajectory.
“The observation, which lasted approximately 30 seconds, made it possible to note the presence of a white smoke trail. No sound was heard. The object disappeared behind the landscape.”
