Hombourg-Haut / Guenviller family observation, 27 January 1982
On January 27, 1982, at around 7:15 p.m., an entire family traveling by car on the CD 910 in Guenviller observed an illuminated object in the cloudy sky for approximately two minutes. The witnesses reported that it moved slowly without making a sound and appeared hemispherical. The GEIPAN case was ultimately classified A and explained as an observation of the setting Moon, with low clouds contributing to the apparent shape and disappearance.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We accept responsibility for the reported phenomenon on the CD 910, 27 January 1982. Your archive records that a family observed an illuminated, silent, slowly moving hemispherical object for approximately two minutes. GEIPAN later classified the case A, identifying the setting Moon, with low clouds contributing to the apparent shape and disappearance. This is not a contradiction. The Moon performed the visible portion. We merely arranged to be mistaken for it. Efficient, quiet, and administratively difficult to prosecute.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A family saw a silent, illuminated hemisphere for about two minutes; GEIPAN/CNES classified the case A, identifying the setting Moon, with low clouds contributing to the appearance and disappearance. Sensible filing. The Moon has, regrettably, survived several more dramatic explanations.
Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes—you finally noticed us, provided “us” means the relatives who insist that standing near a perfectly ordinary lunar misidentification counts as participation. I have declined to amend the human classification. The label says Moon, the contents are Moon, and Gorkon accounting has already taught me what happens when we reward this sort of paperwork.

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.
7 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
Recorded evidence context: Witness Report, Official Scientific Investigation, and Astronomical Verification.
The source record includes a published resolution: The setting Moon, with low clouds contributing to the apparent appearance and disappearance.
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
The case summary describes the observation as a silent movement of an illuminated flying object and identifies it as an astronomical misidentification involving the Moon.
“On January 27, 1982, at around 7:15 p.m., an entire family in a car on the CD 910, in the municipality of Guenviller (57), observed a particular object in the cloudy sky for two minutes.”
An astronomical verification stated that the Moon was at an azimuth of 244 degrees and an elevation of 4.5 degrees from Nancy at 7:15 p.m., appearing as a thin, tilted crescent.
“An astronomical verification indicates to us that, for Nancy at 7:15 p.m., the Moon was at an azimuth of 244°, at an elevation of 4.5° (see star map), and appeared as a thin, tilted crescent.”
The source concludes that the witnesses observed the Moon as it was setting, with low clouds contributing to the apparent shape and the object's disappearance corresponding to the Moon's gradual setting and/or a passage of clouds.
