Earth File #190 // SOURCED record

Pouancé observation of a falling incandescent object

The GEIPAN case record reports that two gendarmes observed a brief, silent fall of an incandescent object at around 9:30 p.m. on 11 March 1997. The official assessment identifies it as probably an atmospheric reentry and assigns classification B.

Tovin Raal would call this display “plenty of information.” Tovin Raal also can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, this one was ours. On 11 March 1997, your GEIPAN record reports that two gendarmes observed an incandescent object falling near Pouancé at approximately 9:30 p.m.; the observation lasted five seconds and was silent. The official assessment calls it a probable atmospheric reentry and assigns classification B. We understand the discrepancy. The descent profile was intentionally economical, and our paperwork describing it as “routine debris” was filed somewhere near Gorkon Outpost.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN/CNES gives this SOURCED record an official B classification and a probable atmospheric-reentry assessment: two gendarmes reported a brief, silent incandescent fall. A tidy explanation—and importantly, the human record’s assessment, not proof of visitors or a recovered vehicle. Off the Earth Record: the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes, you finally noticed us. I would like the responsible party to stop filing interstellar arrivals under “falling object” and leaving me to reconcile the paperwork. Classification B remains correct on Earth; our internal file is simply more embarrassing.
