A GEIPAN-sourced case record reports that an amateur pilot in Bourges saw several flashes of light at around 10:35 a.m., followed by a very bright flame and black smoke; no sound was heard. The witness alerted a control tower, but the investigation found no aircraft in difficulty or rocket launch nearby. GEIPAN classified the case C, citing a lack of reliable information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
This one was ours. Your GEIPAN record reports that, on 26 October 1980, an amateur pilot near Bourges saw several flashes, followed by a very bright flame and black smoke; the record says no sound was heard. The gendarmerie investigation reported no aircraft in difficulty, and no rocket launch was recorded nearby. GEIPAN classified the case C for lack of reliable information. A fair assessment, given our paperwork remained elsewhere.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced GEIPAN/CNES record preserves the flashes, flame, and smoke report, while the investigation found no aircraft in difficulty or nearby rocket launch. With no sound, no other testimony, and limited information, Classification C—lack of reliable information—is the correct label. Not “extraterrestrial,” not “case solved,” just an unresolved observation with an unusually dramatic description. Progress, of a sort.
Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. My cousin Mivra Qel, an Orinthian with a long-standing allergy to restricted corridors, detoured to watch an Earth drive-in movie from above. She forgot that navigation lights work in both directions and had been drinking Quasar Foam. I have filed the apology. Again.
