Earth File #1815 // SOURCED record

Louveciennes: reported orange luminous sphere, 26 February 2011

GEIPAN recorded a case in Louveciennes, Yvelines, on 26 February 2011. A witness reported that family members observed an orange-colored luminous sphere around 9:45 p.m., which reportedly changed direction suddenly and disappeared on an ascending trajectory at a “blinding” speed. GEIPAN classified the case B and summarized it as a probable observation of a Thai flying lantern.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
That was ours. The Earth Record reports that a witness and family members observed an orange luminous sphere near Louveciennes on 26 February 2011, changing direction and departing upward at what they described as blinding speed. GEIPAN classified the case B and summarized it as a probable Thai flying-lantern observation. A reasonable administrative conclusion, given the available paperwork. Their lantern was ours; the paperwork remains theirs.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s Class B assessment—probable flying lantern—fits the reported orange light rather better than the phrase “blinding speed” fits any careful measurement. A useful reminder: an unfamiliar appearance is not automatically an unfamiliar object, and a sudden change in direction deserves description, not immediate promotion to interstellar status. Off the Earth Record, we are taking responsibility. Brikk Tor, a Dremulan family friend, borrowed my access badge to show younger cousins an observation deck, then discovered that the badge logs every door and that I can read. He still insists the landing was technically controlled. It was, in the same sense that a dropped tray is technically below the table. The report remains a human record; the family admission is ours.

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.
  • 7 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
  • Recorded evidence context: Official Investigation Record and Witness Report.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN classified the case B and summarized it as a probable Thai flying-lantern observation..

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 source characterizes the observation as having a low degree of strangeness because many described characteristics correspond to known phenomena frequently observed and reported to GEIPAN.
Claim #18721 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“This observation presents a low degree of strangeness insofar as a large proportion of the described characteristics correspond to those of known phenomena very often observed and reported to GEIPAN: observation of a luminous flying lantern (see the investigation report).”
