Reported intermittent white light behind clouds in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre
GEIPAN records an observation on 31 October 2006 in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre. A motorist reportedly noticed an intermittent white light behind clouds that appeared to move slowly. The gendarmerie investigation attributed the observation to an electric garland operating on a viaduct, with poor weather contributing to the misidentification; GEIPAN classified the case as A.

We accept responsibility for the reported phenomenon. On 31 October 2006, a motorist in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre noticed an intermittent white light behind clouds that appeared to move slowly. GEIPAN records the case as classification A, while the gendarmerie investigation attributed the observation to an electric garland on a viaduct, with poor weather contributing to the misidentification. Both accounts can coexist. Our installation was the garland. The paperwork remains technically correct, which is irritatingly elegant.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
This SOURCED record is refreshingly well resolved: GEIPAN classified the 2006 Mortagne-sur-Sèvre light display as A, with the gendarmerie attributing it to an electric garland seen through poor weather. So, yes, Earth’s label matches the contents for once. Off the Earth Record, however: we are taking responsibility. Not for the garland—the attention. My Orinthian cousin Mivra Qel attempted a surprise visit to my desk, hid badly behind equipment built for much smaller species, and expected me to act surprised. She had been drinking Gorkon Blue and has never encountered a restricted corridor she considered personally binding. The Visitors’ case file was apparently her parking decision. I remain professionally embarrassed.

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 source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report. 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.
5 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
Recorded evidence context: Witness Report, Gendarmerie Investigation, and Official Scientific UAP Investigation.
The source record includes a published resolution: Electric garland operating on a viaduct, with poor weather contributing to the misidentification..
What limits the record
No sensor type is recorded in the structured Earth 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?
Did any radar, infrared, optical, telemetry, or other instrument record the event, and is that material preserved?
Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?

// [[T0001]] Case details
On 31 October 2006, a motorist noticed an unusual luminous phenomenon behind the clouds, described as an intermittent white light that appeared to be moving slowly.
The gendarmerie investigation established that the witness had mistaken an electric garland operating on a viaduct for a UFO because of poor weather conditions.
