A CB radio operator in a car reportedly saw a three-second flash followed by a white luminous point that rapidly grew larger while descending, became intense, and suddenly went out. The observation lasted about 6–7 seconds. The GEIPAN record classifies the case as B and indicates a probable atmospheric re-entry, while noting limited information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We did not cause or operate the reported phenomenon at Saint-Rivoal. Your GEIPAN/CNES record describes a CB radio operator seeing a three-second flash, followed by a white luminous point that grew larger while descending before suddenly going out; the observation lasted about six to seven seconds. The case is classified B, and the record assesses it as probably an atmospheric re-entry, while noting that the information gathered was limited. We deny involvement. Our paperwork does not cover atmospheric re-entries, thankfully.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A SOURCED record, and a tidy one by Earth standards: GEIPAN classified it B, with limited information indicating a probable atmospheric re-entry. The brief flash, growing light, descent, and sudden extinction are interesting; they are not, by themselves, a visitor’s calling card. “Unidentified” remains a filing label, not a species announcement. For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it merely prevents me from having to apologize to France for another relative’s parking decisions. Off the Earth Record, my Orinthian cousin Nessa Qel once turned a component-replacement errand into a three-part operation with matching code names, fueled by Nebula Cherry Fizz. It failed because nobody remembered which component they had borrowed. At least this record has a plausible label on the box.

The case is titled Saint-Rivoal (29) and has an observation date of 26 January 1981.
At around 11:15 p.m. on January 26, 1981, a CB radio operator in a car saw a three-second flash in a clear, cloudless sky, followed by a white luminous point that rapidly grew larger as it descended; the observation lasted 6 to 7 seconds, and the light became intense before suddenly going out.
“On January 26, 1981, at around 11:15 p.m., a CB radio operator in his car saw, in the clear, cloudless sky, a flash lasting 3 seconds. Intrigued, he leaned toward his car door and then saw a white luminous point that rapidly grew larger as it descended. The observation lasted 6 to 7 seconds. The emitted light then became intense and suddenly went out.”
