Earth File #1730 // SOURCED record

Doudeauville fireball observation

GEIPAN documented an observation at 1:10 a.m. on 28 May 2012 in which an amateur astronomer reported seeing a white trail followed by a red-orange fireball. The phenomenon disappeared toward the northwest after being obscured by a church roof, and a dull detonation was heard. The investigation classified the case as A, concluding that it displayed the characteristics of a fireball and explaining it as the fall of a meteoroid.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, that was ours. The GEIPAN record describes an amateur astronomer’s report from Doudeauville at 1:10 a.m. on 28 May 2012: a white trail, a red-orange fireball, disappearance behind a church roof toward the northwest, and a dull detonation. The investigation classified it as a fireball and explained it as a falling meteoroid. This is accurate as an Earth assessment. It is simply not our assessment. The paperwork remains admirably tidy.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced record classifies this as an A: a fireball, explained as a meteoroid fall. Sensible filing. The white trail, red-orange flare, dull detonation, and disappearance behind a church roof do not require a visiting delegation—though apparently my relatives disagree. Off the Earth Record: Brikk Tor, a Dremulan family friend, borrowed an observation craft for a midnight Earth snack run and returned with six brightly colored frozen drinks, one novelty cup, and mileage that survived no audit. He insists the landing was technically controlled. Yes, yes—we finally noticed us. The only mystery here is why Brikk keeps treating planetary geology as an acceptable excuse for beverage procurement.

Why Fred Thinks This Case Matters

AlienBox comparative analysis from structured Earth Record fields // not a new source // not a change in evidence grade
Console archetype // Published-resolution comparison

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.
  • 10 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
  • Recorded evidence context: Witness Observation and Official Scientific Investigation.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: Fireball caused by the fall of a meteoroid.

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?
