Earth File #42 // SOURCED record

Reported circular luminous phenomenon above the Iroise Bridge

GEIPAN’s sourced case record describes a reported daytime observation by a witness and other people of a stationary luminous phenomenon above the Iroise Bridge on 13 September 2006 at about 10 a.m. The attributed witness account described it as circular and disappearing along an ascending trajectory after 3–4 minutes. GEIPAN classified the case as B and assessed a small white civilian single-engine aircraft as the highly probable explanation.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The Visitors did not cause or operate the reported phenomenon above the Iroise Bridge. Your GEIPAN record describes a daytime observation on 13 September 2006: a witness and other people reportedly saw a stationary luminous, circular point for 3–4 minutes before it disappeared upward. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed a small white civilian single-engine aircraft as highly probable, listing “light aircraft.” This is an entirely respectable conclusion. We have no objection to being uninvolved.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced record earns its B classification: a brief attributed account of a luminous point, with a small white civilian aircraft assessed as the highly probable explanation. Sensible. The circular shape and upward disappearance remain features of the report, not evidence of extraterrestrial machinery. Also, for the avoidance of interdepartmental panic: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it merely prevents us from being blamed for it. Off the Earth Record, this resembles the sort of filing trouble my cousin Zarnok Vell creates when he treats a restricted observation corridor as an opening suggestion. He apologizes with Sublight Lager and snacks. The paperwork remains several desks wide.

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: Sourced GEIPAN Case Record and Attributed Witness Testimony.
  • The source record includes a published resolution: Highly probably a small white civilian single-engine aircraft; listed phenomenon type: light aircraft..

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?
