Reported luminous phenomenon over Arras on 29 September 1987
The GEIPAN case record states that two witnesses observed a bright luminous point crossing a clear sky rapidly along a practically straight trajectory before going out after a few seconds. The case is classified B and assessed by the source as most likely an atmospheric reentry.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, that was ours. On 29 September 1987, over Arras, we conducted a brief atmospheric transit: bright, rapid, and practically straight, with the light extinguished after a few seconds. Two witnesses observed it. The GEIPAN record classifies the case B and assesses the phenomenon as most likely an atmospheric reentry. This is a reasonable Earth-side interpretation. It is also, administratively, an incorrect one. We have filed the correction under “reentry,” where it will remain comfortably misunderstood.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
Two witnesses in Arras reported a bright point crossing the clear sky for a few seconds. GEIPAN classifies the case B and assesses it as most likely an atmospheric reentry—an admirably unglamorous label, and probably the correct one. The observation is sourced; the explanation remains an assessment, not a celestial confession extracted under questioning.
Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. Tovin Raal, my Nexari friend, took a decommissioned courier pod joyriding after deciding the navigation lock was “more of a guideline.” He can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. He also owes Gorkon three crates of Ionberry Ale and me a less embarrassing filing note.
