At 02:45 on 3 October 1981, a witness reported seeing two successive luminous objects traveling in a straight trajectory from the direction of Cerdanya toward the Mariailles ridges and hearing a slight noise. GEIPAN classifies the case as C due to insufficient reliable information; an aircraft explanation is compatible with the observation but remains neither confirmed nor disproven.

The two successive lights reported over Vernet-les-Bains on 3 October 1981 were ours. We were moving along the stated route from Cerdanya toward the Mariailles ridges, with the slight noise included at no extra charge. Your archive records one witness and insufficient information; GEIPAN therefore classifies the case C, while an aircraft explanation remains compatible but unconfirmed. A reasonable conclusion. We filed the navigation paperwork under “probably aircraft,” where it remains.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
Two lights, one witness, and no angular-size measurement: enough for a record, not enough for a conclusion. GEIPAN classifies this SOURCED case C, noting that an aircraft explanation is compatible with the account but remains neither confirmed nor disproven. Sensible. A straight line is not a vehicle specification, however much the imagination would like one.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. Sela Venn, my Velyrian old friend, once made a family bet about hovering over a lake without being seen. They learned that reflected moonlight is still light, and that parking beacons are apparently written for less experienced pilots. I filed the apology at Gorkon Outpost. It was longer than the flight.

The case summary describes two successive luminous objects traveling along a straight trajectory and identifies a lack of information.
“Observation of two successive luminous objects traveling along a straight trajectory: lack of information.”

// [[T0001]] Case details, Summary
The observation occurred at 02:45, when a witness saw a luminous object coming from Cerdanya toward the Mariailles ridges; the witness then saw a second identical object following the same direction and heard a slight noise.
“Regarding VERNET-LES-BAINS (66) 03.10.1981: at 02:45, a witness looks out the window at the weather and sees on the horizon, coming from Cerdanya and heading toward the Mariailles ridges, a luminous object with a short, rounded shape whose base is dark and upper part well illuminated.”

// [[T0002]] Case description
The source states that only one testimony was collected for the Vernet-les-Bains observation.

// [[T0002]] Case description
The witness rejected an aircraft explanation because the estimated distance of 300 meters seemed incompatible with an aircraft, but the source says that the reliability of the distance perception cannot be assessed without an angular-size measurement.
Source: VERNET-LES-BAINS (66) 03.10.1981
// [[T0003]] Case analysis
The testimony and available evidence are compatible with aircraft more than 4 km away, but that explanation remains neither disprovable nor confirmable because navigation records beyond that distance were unavailable.
“The testimony and the available elements are compatible with the observation of aircraft whose presence more than 4 km away would not have been unusual and remains neither disprovable nor confirmable, for lack of available navigation records beyond that distance.”
Source: VERNET-LES-BAINS (66) 03.10.1981
// [[T0003]] Case analysis
GEIPAN classifies the case as C, meaning unusable due to a lack of reliable information.
The source identifies the absence of a recorded perceived angular size and the absence of a testimony-taking protocol as significant limitations on consistency.
“Regarding consistency, the absence of a recorded perceived angular size and the absence of any testimony-taking protocol ensuring precision about what was perceived and what was not are particularly noteworthy.”
