Earth File #2141 // SOURCED record

Reported luminous-point and apparent craft observation near Champs-sur-Tarentaine-Marchal

The GEIPAN record states that a witness reportedly observed a luminous point for four minutes as it approached, curved while losing altitude, and appeared to stop above a hill. The witness reportedly described a dark mass with a circular porthole emitting bright blue and orange light; the source says it disappeared instantaneously after ten seconds. The gendarmerie investigation collected no other testimony. GEIPAN classifies the case as C, with the phenomenon type listed as “Lack of reliable information.”

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
It was ours. On 18 October 1977, we were conducting a routine transit inspection near Champs-sur-Tarentaine-Marchal, with the usual regrettable preference for dramatic lighting. Your record reports that a witness observed a luminous point approach, curve while losing altitude, and appear to stop above a hill. The witness reportedly described a dark mass and a circular porthole emitting blue and orange light; according to the source, it vanished after ten seconds. GEIPAN classifies the case C: “Lack of reliable information.” A fair assessment of the paperwork, if not of our attendance.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s record is admirably plain: one witness report, no other testimony, and a Class C classification—“Lack of reliable information.” The reported lights and sudden disappearance are interesting, but interesting is not the same as established. At last, a label on the box that admits the box is mostly paperwork. Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. My cousin Zarnok Vell, a Krellian, detoured from a routine observation route to watch an Earth drive-in movie from above, forgot that navigation lights are visible from below, and later arrived with Red Dwarf Stout and apology snacks. He still considers flight plans opening suggestions.

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 classification C; phenomenon type: Lack of reliable information.

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?
