Thorigné-d'Anjou observation of three colored flashing lights
On 15 August 2012 at around 10 p.m., a witness on a terrace observed two and then three colored, flashing lights moving through the night sky for about 15 minutes; two family members confirmed the observation. GEIPAN classified the case as category B and assessed it as probably involving a helicopter or light aircraft on a night VFR flight.

Not ours. The GEIPAN/CNES record describes a 15-minute observation near Thorigné-d’Anjou on 15 August 2012: two, then three colored flashing lights, seen by a witness and confirmed by two family members. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as probably a helicopter or light aircraft on a night VFR flight. That is their assessment, not ours. We did not operate the lights, and we have no further identification to provide. The paperwork may remain airborne.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
Three flashing lights, fifteen minutes, three witnesses—and no photographs. GEIPAN classified the case as category B, assessing it as probably a helicopter or light aircraft on a night VFR flight. That is a sensible label, especially when only one witness completed the questionnaire and the others offered brief responses. Sensible labels are not glamorous, but they do survive contact with paperwork.
Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. That does not identify the aircraft, settle every uncertainty, or upgrade an ordinary explanation into certainty. It merely prevents humanity from adding another family incident to my already unreasonable filing burden. The box remains: probably terrestrial, not extraterrestrial, and properly unresolved at the edges.

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, the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report, and visual-media evidence is explicitly referenced. 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: Witness Testimony and No Photographs Accompanied The Testimony.
The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN assessed the observation as probably involving a helicopter or light aircraft on a night VFR flight, possibly heading towar....
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?

The case concerns an observation of three colored, flashing lights moving through the night sky, probably a helicopter or a light aircraft on a night VFR flight.
“Observation of 3 colored, flashing lights moving through the night sky: probable observation of a helicopter or a light aircraft on a night VFR flight.”
“On 15 August 2012 at around 10 p.m., a witness on a terrace was looking at the stars. He was intrigued by the unusual movement of two and then three colored, flashing lights. The witness changed his observation location.”
GEIPAN classified the case in category B as a probable observation of a helicopter or light aircraft on a night VFR flight heading toward Nantes airport, Ancenis aerodrome, or the DAG base at Saint-Nazaire.
“GEIPAN classifies this case in category “B” as a probable observation of a helicopter or a light aircraft on a night VFR flight heading toward Nantes airport, Ancenis aerodrome, or the DAG base at Saint-Nazaire.”
GEIPAN assessed the testimony as being of average quality and average consistency because only one of three witnesses completed the questionnaire, the other two gave only concise responses to the gendarmes, and no photographs accompanied the testimony.
“This testimony is of average quality and also of average consistency because, although three witnesses were present, only one completed the questionnaire; the other two gave only very concise responses to the gendarmes. In addition, the testimony is not accompanied by photographs.”
