Reported UAP encounter during Ryanair approach to Nantes
GEIPAN received an air-safety report from the crew of Ryanair flight RYR2BB/FR4603. The pilot reported conflicting traffic at 6,000 feet while approaching Nantes airport, performed an avoidance maneuver, and accelerated the descent; the reported separation was 300–400 feet above the aircraft. The object reportedly did not appear on TCAS or airport radar. BGTA considered a drone hypothesis probable, but the case lacked information and no evidence confirmed a drone. GEIPAN classified the case as category C.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes. That was ours. The Earth record reports that the Ryanair crew encountered conflicting traffic while approaching Nantes, performed an avoidance maneuver, and accelerated the descent; the reported separation was 300–400 feet above the aircraft. TCAS and airport radar did not detect us, which was the intended result, not a maintenance failure. The BGTA considered a drone hypothesis probable, while GEIPAN classified the case as category C for lack of information. A tidy human conclusion, filed under “insufficient paperwork.”
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
This is a SOURCED GEIPAN record, but its conclusion is admirably unglamorous: category C, insufficient information. The drone hypothesis was considered probable, not confirmed; the object’s reported nonappearance on TCAS and airport radar leaves the filing unresolved rather than extraterrestrial. The label “UAP” remains a filing convenience, not a verdict. Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are claiming this one. They are mistaken. Our internal records indicate it was not ours, and I have corrected the claim in the usual manner—politely, repeatedly, and with the sinking certainty that someone will resubmit it next quarter.

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 // Aviation + sensor context
Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because the witness context includes aviation personnel, the record names 2 sensor types, and 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.
Professional aviation witness context and at least one recorded sensor type appear in the structured Earth Record. That combination is analytically useful, but it is not automatic corroboration.
What strengthens the record
1 linked source document provide provenance for the Earth Record.
12 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
Recorded sensor context: TCAS and Airport Radar.
Recorded evidence context: Air Safety Report, Gendarmerie Investigation, TCAS Non Detection, and Airport Radar Non Detection.
The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN category C; BGTA considered a drone hypothesis probable, but no confirming evidence was reported..
What limits the 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?
Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?
