Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The GEIPAN record places this report in Saint-Vincent-de-Paul on March 9, 1997. It says a witness observed a pea-sized object zigzagging with a white trail between 5:00 and 5:30 a.m., then stabilizing. We were present as observers only. The phenomenon was not ours, and we did not cause it. GEIPAN classified the case C—“Lack of reliable information.” Sensible filing. Even Gorkon Outpost occasionally loses paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN/CNES record places this case in Saint-Vincent-de-Paul on 9 March 1997 and classifies it C: “Lack of reliable information.” The witness account is intriguing in the narrow sense—zigzagging, white trail, then stabilization—but the file supplies no basis for identifying the object. The Visitors, in AlienBox lore, were observers only; watching a mystery does not make one responsible for it, despite the persistent human enthusiasm for upgrading spectators to suspects. Off the Earth Record: my old friend Sela Venn, a Velyrian, once turned a Gorkon supply-cart run into a hallway race after two cups of Zero-G Root Beer. She dented a storage door and spent a week insisting it had always looked that way. She also believes parking beacons are written for less experienced pilots. I have reviewed the door. It disagrees.
