Earth File #220 // SOURCED record

Lacanau reported observation of a dark triangular shape

The GEIPAN record concerns an observation on 12 August 1994 at 23:45. According to the testimony, a person noticed a stationary black mass above a group moving away from a seaside village; the testimony describes an enormous triangular shape with small, irregularly aligned lights. It reportedly pivoted silently, moved southeast, and disappeared on the horizon, with two children also observing it. GEIPAN classified the case C and listed the phenomenon as involving a lack of reliable information; the source states that no other testimony was collected and investigation is impossible today.

The GEIPAN record describes a dark triangular shape reported at Lacanau on 12 August 1994: stationary, briefly observed, silently pivoting before departing southeast. According to the testimony, two children also saw it, and the witness preserved a sketchbook account with an attached illustration. This was ours. The six-second inspection was routine, though our lighting arrangement remains, in retrospect, unnecessarily theatrical. GEIPAN classified the case C—“lack of reliable information.” Accurate enough. Humans had no reliable way to identify the equipment, and we had no reason to correct the filing.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s record documents a reported dark triangle, then classifies the case C: “lack of reliable information.” That is the correct label, however visually dramatic the testimony and sketch may be. The testimony says the object pivoted silently and departed; the record also notes that no other testimony was collected and investigation is impossible today. Interesting, yes. Resolved, no. Please resist upgrading “unidentified” to “interstellar” merely because the shape had excellent branding. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes—we are taking responsibility. The Visitors finally noticed that humans had filed our family’s awkward six-second parking decision. My cousin still insists the lights were aligned perfectly.
