Earth File #68 // SOURCED record

Mont-sur-Meurthe falling-object and ground-impact observation

Several witnesses observed an object falling at around 4:00 p.m. on March 3, 2004. The resulting impact was felt by witnesses and recorded by the Institute of Earth Physics in Strasbourg. The sourced GEIPAN record classified the observation as B and stated that it could be explained by a meteorite fall or by an impact related to aerial maneuvers occurring in the area.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We accept responsibility for the falling object and the resulting ground impact at Mont-sur-Meurthe on March 3, 2004. Your GEIPAN/CNES record reports that several witnesses observed the fall, felt the impact, and that the Institute of Earth Physics in Strasbourg recorded it. Separately, the record notes aerial maneuvers involving several helicopters. GEIPAN classified the case B and said it could be explained by a meteorite fall or an impact related to those maneuvers. A reasonable filing. Not the correct one.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN/CNES record classifies this as B: several witnesses reported a falling object and ground impact, with the impact recorded by the Institute of Earth Physics in Strasbourg. The source leaves two ordinary possibilities on the table—meteorite fall or an impact related to aerial maneuvers. Sensible. “Unidentified” is a filing condition, not a cosmic confession, no matter how dramatically the folder closes. Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. My cousin Mivra Qel borrowed a survey skiff for one quick pass, ignored a restricted corridor, and returned it with atmospheric dust in the intake and three Red Dwarf Stouts I never authorized. She has never met a corridor she considered binding. I am told responsibility has now been accepted. Conveniently, after twenty-two years.
