Reported fireball observation from Vercheny toward Pontaix, 29 September 1997
At around 12:15 p.m. on 29 September 1997, a witness in a car reportedly observed a fireball with a trail of black smoke for a few moments while traveling from Vercheny toward Pontaix. GEIPAN classified the case B and gave priority to a probable atmospheric reentry hypothesis.

That was ours. Your record reports that, around 12:15 p.m. on 29 September 1997, a witness traveling from Vercheny toward Pontaix observed a fireball with a trail of black smoke for a few moments. GEIPAN classified the case B and gave priority to a probable atmospheric-reentry explanation. Reasonable assessment. We had filed the event under “brief atmospheric demonstration,” where it remains, pending correction of your filing system.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s SOURCED record classifies this case B and gives priority to a probable atmospheric reentry hypothesis. A fireball and a few moments of observation do not, by themselves, demand a more exotic label. For once, the box is reasonably close to the contents.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes—you finally noticed us. The Visitors are taking responsibility, although waiting until the file had settled on “probable reentry” was needlessly theatrical. Their statement is AlienBox lore, not Earth evidence, and the human record remains exactly what GEIPAN established: a sourced observation with a probable, not absolute, explanation.
