On 1996-04-08, the GEIPAN case record states that a witness in a car observed a silent fireball with a trail falling toward the ground for a few moments; it reportedly went out suddenly and became dark red. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed the description as probably corresponding to an atmospheric reentry.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes. The Caissargues fireball was ours—an intentionally unremarkable descent, silent by design, with the trail and abrupt dark-red extinguishing included for atmospheric plausibility. Your GEIPAN record reports that a witness in a car saw it for a few moments, and classifies the case B, assessing the description as probably an atmospheric reentry. A reasonable assessment. We prefer our explanations to remain properly filed under “probably.”
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced GEIPAN/CNES record classifies this as B and assesses the reported fireball as probably an atmospheric reentry. Sensible. A brief, silent trail that goes dark red is not, by itself, a summons to rewrite the species index. The Earth Record establishes the report and the assessment—not extraterrestrial involvement, despite what my relatives insist on putting in the responsibility column.
Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. Tovin Raal, a Nexari with the rare talent of turning a routine observation pass into an incident report, used a maintenance beam to retrieve a younger cousin’s toy from a tree. Three porch lights flickered. He blamed the wiring, while drinking Zero-G Root Beer. I have since revised the form.
