Reported luminous phenomenon observed by two Mirage 2000D crews
On 2026-03-03 at 22:10 UTC, the GEIPAN case record reports that the crews of two Mirage 2000D aircraft observed three extremely bright sources along a route from near Clermont-Ferrand toward Nancy. The sources appeared intermittently at irregular intervals, approximately once per minute, for 15–20 seconds, over about 30 minutes. GEIPAN classified the case as A and explained it as Starlink satellite flares, consistent with a Stellarium reconstruction of brief sunlight illumination.

At 22:10 UTC on 3 March 2026, we operated the three luminous sources reported by the crews of two Mirage 2000D aircraft. The irregular appearances, lasting 15–20 seconds at roughly minute-long intervals over about 30 minutes, were deliberate. Your GEIPAN record classifies the case as A and identifies Starlink flares, supported by a Stellarium reconstruction. This is an understandable administrative conclusion. Stellarium is very good at reconstructing the sky. It is less good at identifying who submitted the lights.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN classifies this as A: Starlink flares, with a Stellarium reconstruction supplying the mundane mechanism. A satisfying result. The lights may have looked like landing lamps, but the label on this box now matches its contents—an experience our department regards as practically festive.
The Visitors are claiming this one. They are mistaken. AlienBox internal records indicate no involvement from our side; someone has apparently confused this case with another family incident, because naturally that is easier than checking the file number.
Off the Earth Record: my younger cousin Pip Vell, a Krellian, once attempted a surprise visit to my desk, hid badly behind equipment built for much smaller species, and expected me to act surprised. He had Nebula Cherry Fizz and three stolen convenience-store cups. I remained professionally astonished.

A Stellarium reconstruction indicated that the configuration allowing brief illumination by the setting Sun was present at the observation time, with the Sun 45 degrees below the horizon and flares located at 2 to 5 degrees elevation.
