Not ours. We did not operate the reported phenomenon over Louvatange on 6 February 1998. Your GEIPAN record attributes the observation to a man cutting wood, who described an object resembling a rocket moving horizontally with a low rumble at around 4 p.m. The record provides no other information and classifies the case C—“Lack of reliable information.” An admirably honest filing decision. We cannot identify the cause from that record, and will not decorate the paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN case record preserves a reported rocket-like object and a low rumble, but classifies the file C: “Lack of reliable information.” Quite right. The record establishes that the report exists; it does not establish what crossed the sky, how large it was, or whether “rocket-shaped” survived contact with careful description. No sensors, follow-up detail, or corroboration are available here, so the mystery remains mostly an elegantly labeled empty drawer. For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. That does not identify the visitor—only removes my relatives from the suspect list, which is still a modest administrative victory.
