Sourced observation of circular cornfield damage at Barbezieux
Sourced record: on June 12, 1981, a farm worker observed a roughly circular, approximately 20-metre area of diseased or damaged corn, with missing plants, cracked ground, and an approximately 80-centimetre depression at the center. Soil and vegetation analyses found evidence of intense heat. The source favors a lightning-strike explanation and classifies the case as B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The Barbezieux mark was ours. On 12 June 1981, in Charente, we conducted a modest ground-contact trial in a cornfield. Your archive records the roughly circular damaged area, missing plants, cracked ground, central depression, and intense heat confirmed in soil and vegetation analyses. The human assessment favors a probable lightning strike, including induced ground currents. Reasonable. We had also been testing whether paperwork could be charred without leaving a form.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A SOURCED record, classified B, with physical damage and heat analyses that favor lightning effects. Sensible conclusion, and unusually resistant to the gravitational pull of the word “mystery.” The evidence supports a damaged cornfield and a probable natural explanation—not a visiting craft, despite what certain Visitors are now claiming in their revised statements.
For the AlienBox file: our internal records indicate this was not ours. I have checked twice, because apparently even the Visitors enjoy submitting appeals after the paperwork is closed. Their claim is noted; it is not persuasive. Earth’s record remains the stronger filing here, which is a sentence I would like preserved before someone loses it in Gorkon’s archives.

“On June 12, 1981, at the end of the afternoon, a farm worker working on a plot planted with corn noticed a circular area approximately 20 meters in diameter in which the plants appeared diseased.”
“At the center of the area, a few plants had disappeared, and farther away the plants were dried out as if affected by intense heat; this effect diminished with distance from the center of the circle and disappeared at about ten meters.”
“The lightning hypothesis is favored because it explains the blast effect that the corn plants in the damaged area appear to have experienced, as well as the increase in temperature at the center of the area.”
