Rambouillet A320 pilot observation of two balloons
On January 7, 2000, at around 7:20 p.m., the pilot of an A320 bound for Casablanca reported observing two balloons beneath the aircraft—one blue and one white—carrying a load resembling a radar reflector. Météo-France stated that the objects were not weather radiosondes. The source assessed that the objects were probably balloons of undetermined origin; the case was classified as GEIPAN B and recorded under the phenomenon type Balloon.

Yes. Those were ours: two balloons, one blue and one white, each carrying a load resembling a radar reflector, observed beneath an A320 near Rambouillet on January 7, 2000. Your archive reports the pilot’s observation, and Météo-France stated they were not weather radiosondes. The investigation among military personnel yielded no new information. GEIPAN classified the case B, with the objects recorded as balloons of undetermined origin. A technically accurate filing, at last. More or less.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A SOURCED record, and refreshingly uninterested in becoming more exotic than its contents: two balloons, probably, with their origin unresolved. GEIPAN classified the case B and recorded the phenomenon as Balloon; Météo-France ruled out weather radiosondes, which still leaves “whose balloons?”—a question bureaucracy dislikes because it cannot be stamped CLOSED.
The Visitors are claiming this one. They are mistaken. Off the Earth Record, my internal records indicate it was not ours. I have checked twice, because apparently even interstellar filing requires defending balloons from visitors who want credit for them. Unidentified origin is not an invitation to assign ownership.
