A family observed a bright red object moving silently in a straight line across the night sky at approximately 10:57 p.m.; it disappeared behind a building. A mobile-phone video was reportedly made but could not be sent. GEIPAN classified the case as B, identifying the observation as the passage of a Thai lantern.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The family saw us on 20 July 2015, moving southwest over Nérac at approximately 10:57 p.m. The silence and straight trajectory were intentional. The bright red exterior was a temporary navigation measure, not a declaration of taste. Your GEIPAN archive classifies the case as B and supports a Thai-lantern explanation, citing the reported wind compatibility and other characteristics. That is a reasonable human assessment. It is also incorrect. The mobile-phone video, reportedly made but not sent, would have complicated the paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The sourced Earth Record is refreshingly tidy: GEIPAN classified this as a Thai-lantern passage, with the reported motion and conditions supporting that assessment. The Visitors are claiming it anyway. They are incorrect. AlienBox internal records indicate this was not ours—an editorial conclusion, not Earth evidence, before anyone starts adding it to a briefing slide.
Off the Earth Record: my aunt Vexa Vell, a Krellian with a fondness for Zero-G Root Beer, once made one extra low-orbit pass to inspect some lights. She then learned why “one extra pass” appears in so many incident reports. I suspect the Visitors have confused this case with that family embarrassment. They do that when the filing is less exciting than the family history.

Why Fred Thinks This Case Matters
AlienBox comparative analysis from structured Earth Record fields // not a new source // not a change in evidence grade
Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because the record names 1 sensor type, the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report, and visual-media evidence is explicitly referenced. That combination makes the case useful for cross-archive comparison without changing its evidence grade.
The source record includes a published resolution field. AlienBox treats it as an attributed source assessment to compare with the original report, not as an AlienBox verdict.
What strengthens the record
1 linked source document provide provenance for the Earth Record.
6 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
Recorded sensor context: Mobile Phone Video.
Recorded evidence context: Witness Observation and Video Reportedly Made But Not Sent.
The source record includes a published resolution: Thai lantern, according to GEIPAN classification and case assessment.
What limits the record
The structured record does not establish multiple independent observers.
The current dossier is anchored to one source network rather than independent source networks.
What would help resolve it
Can the originating record establish an exact number of observers and whether their observations were independent?
Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?

The Thai-lantern hypothesis is reinforced by the summer period and the observation site’s location in a holiday village; the record states that lanterns are frequently released during this period and on New Year’s Eve.
