On November 5, 1996, two witnesses observed the very rapid passage of a luminous cylindrical phenomenon with a substantial trail near Lille Airport. No sound was heard; the phenomenon followed the same route as airliners. GEIPAN classified the case as C and listed the phenomenon type as “Lack of reliable information.”

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, that was ours. On 5 November 1996, we made a very rapid passage in a luminous cylindrical vehicle with a substantial trail. Your record reports that two witnesses observed it near Lille Airport; it also reports no sound, and that the phenomenon followed the same route as airliners. GEIPAN classified the case C, “Lack of reliable information.” A fair assessment. Our flight plan was available, but not to the relevant department.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
Two witnesses reported a fast, luminous cylinder near Lille Airport in 1996; GEIPAN classified the case C, with the phenomenon type listed as “Lack of reliable information.” That is the correct label, and I will defend it against all attempts to upgrade “unresolved” into “cosmic.” The airliner-route detail is interesting; the absence of sound is interesting; neither supplies an identification, particularly when no other information could be gathered. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes—you finally noticed us. We are taking responsibility for this one. Please keep that separate from the human file, which establishes an observation and a careful non-conclusion, not extraterrestrial visitation. I have filed the correction. No, I am not enjoying this.
