Hourtin (33) luminous-point observation, 29 January 1979
A GEIPAN-sourced case record reports that a witness observed an orange luminous point after a flash of lightning. The reported object was initially stationary, slowly descended while appearing to grow larger, then changed direction, moved horizontally at very high speed, and disappeared. No sound was reported, and the observation lasted approximately 2–3 minutes. Ball lightning was proposed as a hypothesis, but the available data were insufficient to validate or reject it; the case was classified C for lack of reliable information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We accept responsibility for the orange luminous point reported at Hourtin on 29 January 1979. Your archive records a witness seeing it after lightning: stationary, descending, enlarging, then moving horizontally at very high speed before disappearing. The record also notes no sound and an observation of roughly 2–3 minutes. Ball lightning was proposed by the Florac observatory, but the data could neither validate nor reject it. Classification C. A sensible filing decision, if somewhat inhospitable to our paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN-sourced record preserves the report of an orange light after lightning, but classifies the case C: insufficient reliable information, with ball lightning neither validated nor rejected. Sensible. A dramatic trajectory is still not a vehicle registration, however much the filing department wishes otherwise.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. Responsibility is accepted on the AlienBox side, though I would like it noted that this was Mivra Qel’s work. The Orinthian had Red Dwarf Stout in one hand, a restricted observation corridor in front of her, and—predictably—no belief that the latter was personally binding. Gorkon Outpost is still processing the paperwork. It has become several desks wide.

// [[T0001]] Case details
Between 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. on January 29, 1979, a witness observed an orange-colored luminous point after a flash of lightning; it was initially stationary, slowly descended while growing larger, then changed direction, moved horizontally at very high speed, and disappeared.
“On January 29, 1979, between 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., a witness observed, following a flash of lightning, an orange-colored luminous point. Initially stationary, this point began a slow descent toward the ground while growing larger. It then took another direction, moving horizontally at very high speed, and disappeared.”
“One hypothesis put forward by the Florac observatory, contacted by the gendarmerie regarding this observation, was that of a “ball lightning” phenomenon”
