Earth File #1091 // SOURCED record

Reported dark triangular light formation from Pornic toward Nantes

A passenger in a car reported seeing two fixed, parallel lights at 18:20 on 28 December 2014; as the lights passed over the car, the witness described a dark equilateral triangle pointing south, with lights at its angles and a dimmer central light, moving on a straight trajectory. GEIPAN classified the case as B and assessed it as a probable observation of an aircraft preparing to land, although the specific aircraft could not be identified. GEIPAN proposed a contour or shape illusion caused by powerful landing lights.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, that was ours. At 18:20 on 28 December 2014, a passenger in a car reported two fixed, parallel lights; when they passed overhead, the witness described a dark equilateral triangle with lights at its angles and a dimmer central light, moving on a straight trajectory. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as a probable aircraft preparing to land, with a contour illusion proposed. The specific aircraft remained unidentified. An efficient human filing outcome: correctly unresolved, administratively reassuring.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The Earth Record is SOURCED, and GEIPAN’s B classification is doing useful clerical work: a probable aircraft preparing to land, with powerful landing lights plausibly producing the triangular outline. The specific aircraft remains unidentified because the relevant aeronautical information was unavailable by the time of review—not because the filing portal opened onto eternity. Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. You finally noticed us. Please keep “unidentified aircraft” and “alien craft” in separate boxes; they are not interchangeable merely because one of my relatives has an unfortunate habit of making ordinary paperwork look cosmic.

Why Fred Thinks This Case Matters

AlienBox comparative analysis from structured Earth Record fields // not a new source // not a change in evidence grade
Console archetype // Published-resolution comparison

Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report. That combination makes the case useful for cross-archive comparison without changing its evidence grade.

The source record includes a published resolution field. AlienBox treats it as an attributed source assessment to compare with the original report, not as an AlienBox verdict.

What strengthens the record

  • 1 linked source document provide provenance for the Earth Record.
  • 9 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
  • Recorded evidence context: Witness Report and Official Scientific UAP Investigation.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN assessed it as a probable observation of an aircraft preparing to land and proposed a contour or shape illusion from powerf....

What limits the record

  • No sensor type is recorded in the structured Earth Record.
  • The structured record does not establish multiple independent observers.
  • The current dossier is anchored to one source network rather than independent source networks.

What would help resolve it

  • Can the originating record establish an exact number of observers and whether their observations were independent?
  • Did any radar, infrared, optical, telemetry, or other instrument record the event, and is that material preserved?
  • Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?

Source: [D80] from PORNIC (44) to NANTES (44) 28.12.2014 // [[T0001]] Description
GEIPAN assessed that the reported lights and trajectory pointed toward the hypothesis of a low-altitude aircraft arriving from the north and preparing to land at Nantes-Bouguenais from the south.
Claim #11921 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“point toward the hypothesis of an aircraft at low altitude, arriving from the North (from Great Britain?), and preparing to land at Nantes-Bouguenais, from the South, facing the wind”
Source: [D80] from PORNIC (44) to NANTES (44) 28.12.2014 // [[T0002]] GEIPAN explanation
GEIPAN explained that powerful landing lights could have caused the witness to perceive a triangle enclosing points of light, describing this as a contour illusion or shape illusion.
Claim #11922 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 95% extraction confidence
“This is a common perceptual illusion, called a contour illusion or shape illusion, which gives the impression of a triangle enclosing the points of light.”
Source: [D80] from PORNIC (44) to NANTES (44) 28.12.2014 // [[T0002]] GEIPAN explanation
Because of the considerable delay after the observation, GEIPAN was unable to access the aeronautical information needed to determine which aircraft was seen.
