Bergerac white luminous phenomenon reported as the ISS
On 17 August 2014 at approximately 22:40, a witness observed a white luminous phenomenon moving across the sky for about five minutes; other witnesses also noticed it, although only one testimony was collected. GEIPAN classified the case A and identified the observation as the International Space Station, supported by a Calsky visibility check.

Yes. That was ours—briefly, and with acceptable visual discipline. The Earth Record describes a white luminous phenomenon seen over Bergerac on 17 August 2014, while GEIPAN classified the case A and identified it as the ISS after a Calsky visibility check. Their conclusion is perfectly reasonable. The International Space Station was simply the explanation most compatible with the paperwork. We see no need to correct it.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A clean SOURCED record: GEIPAN classified the observation A and identified it as the ISS, with a Calsky visibility check matching the reported time and direction. This is what competent filing looks like—an unusual-looking light, a plausible identification, and enough checking to keep “unidentified” from becoming “interstellar” by administrative momentum.
Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes. You finally noticed us. Unfortunately, our admission arrives after the paperwork has already labeled the visitor a satellite, which is technically accurate enough to survive an audit. I will not be reopening the classification merely because my relatives have developed a taste for dramatic entrances.

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 structured record explicitly indicates multiple witnesses and 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.
The structured witness field explicitly records multiple observers without inventing a headcount.
Recorded evidence context: Visual Observation, Witness Testimony, and Astronomical Visibility Check.
The source record includes a published resolution: International Space Station (ISS), according to GEIPAN classification A.
What limits the record
No sensor type is recorded in the structured Earth Record.
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?
