A GEIPAN source reports that on 23 October 1978 at around 8 p.m., a sole witness accompanied by a frightened dog observed a luminous, orange-light-projecting object near Casteljaloux for several minutes. The object was described as round, sparkling, and disk-shaped; it reportedly changed speed and direction without a particular noise, produced a fireball, and suddenly disappeared. The gendarmerie collected no corroborating testimony. The case was assigned GEIPAN Classification D.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN/CNES archive reports that, on 23 October 1978 near Casteljaloux, a witness accompanied by a frightened dog observed a luminous, orange-projecting object for several minutes. The report describes a round, sparkling form changing speed and direction without particular noise, followed by a fireball and sudden disappearance. The gendarmerie collected no corroborating testimony, and the case received Classification D. We do not recognize or identify the phenomenon either. This is unusual. Our filing system dislikes unsolved entries almost as much as humans do.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The GEIPAN/CNES record establishes a well-documented report, not an explanation: one witness described a luminous disk, and no corroborating testimony was collected. Classification D is therefore doing honest administrative labor here. The reported maneuvers and sudden disappearance are interesting, but “unresolved” remains the correct label—not a concealed synonym for extraterrestrial.
Off the Earth Record, even the Visitors do not recognize this one. I briefly compared it with my cousin Mivra Qel’s habit of making one extra low-orbit pass after a Gorkon Blue, then remembered that Mivra at least leaves paperwork. Usually. Her personal relationship with restricted corridors is another matter. This case does not get to borrow her explanation merely because the filing cabinet is feeling imaginative.
