CLARET: luminous point reported over Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
On 22 August 2012 at 22:19, a witness observed a luminous point that first moved along a straight trajectory, then appeared to make jerky right-to-left movements before disappearing. The GEIPAN case is classified A and identifies the observation as the International Space Station, with the apparent jerky motion explained as an autokinetic illusion and the temporary extinction as changing sunlight reflections during the station's rotation.

Yes. This one was ours, although your GEIPAN record classifies it as the International Space Station and explains the apparent right-to-left movements as an autokinetic illusion. We merely arranged the timing and let human perception complete the paperwork. The record also attributes the temporary disappearance to changing sunlight reflections during the station’s rotation. An efficient operation: one luminous point, no equipment to retrieve, and an official classification of A. Gorkon Outpost would consider that excellent filing.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN/CNES case classified A identifies this luminous point as the International Space Station, with the apparent jerking attributed to the autokinetic illusion and the disappearance to changing sunlight reflections. Sensible. The label on the box matches the contents at last.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes—you finally noticed us. Brikk Tor, a Dremulan family friend, was responsible for the original administrative nuisance. He used a maintenance beam to retrieve a younger cousin’s lost toy from a tree, causing three porch lights to flicker while insisting the landing—or retrieval—was “technically controlled.” I have corrected that phrase in six reports, usually over Sublight Lager.

Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because 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.
9 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.

What limits the record
No sensor type is recorded in the structured Earth Record.
The structured record does not establish multiple independent observers.
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?

The temporary extinction is explained as resulting from variations in sunlight reflections on the station during its rotation.
