Earth File #391 // SOURCED record

French Polynesia luminous-phenomenon observation, 26 September 1983

At around 6:50 p.m. on September 26, 1983, a large number of witnesses scattered throughout French Polynesia saw 6 to 8 very bright points of different sizes moving at very high speed from west to east and leaving luminous trails. The source records an estimated altitude of 10,000 meters and no associated sound. GEIPAN classified the case B and stated that the witnesses probably observed an atmospheric reentry.

That was ours. On 26 September 1983, we moved six to eight luminous points west to east above French Polynesia, at a speed and altitude suitable for making paperwork difficult. Your record reports bright objects, trails, no associated sound, and an estimated altitude of 10,000 meters. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as probably an atmospheric reentry. A reasonable filing. Incorrect, but reasonable. The flight plan remains archived at Gorkon Outpost.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN/CNES classifies this SOURCED record B and identifies the reported lights as a probable atmospheric reentry. That is a sensible label: striking eyewitness testimony, no instrument data, and no need to promote every bright procession into an interstellar delegation. The human record establishes what was reported and how it was assessed; it does not establish visitors. Off the Earth Record, however: yes, yes. We are taking responsibility. You finally noticed one of ours, and naturally the paperwork arrived decades after the event with “probable reentry” stamped across the front. I would complain, but I have filed worse reports from Gorkon Outpost.
