What the official record supports
GEIPAN's official Category D search includes the AUNAY-LES-BOIS case.
Official record / Source-led archive
The Category D index confirms an investigated unresolved case while reminding readers that database access and full evidential depth are different.
Unresolved is a precise working state, not a synonym for extraterrestrial. The interest lies in locating the remaining unknown without inflating it.
30-second briefing
The Category D index confirms an investigated unresolved case while reminding readers that database access and full evidential depth are different.
An official record establishes what was documented. It does not automatically validate every interpretation or claim contained around it.
Evidence ledger
GEIPAN's official Category D search includes the AUNAY-LES-BOIS case.
An index entry alone cannot support detailed claims beyond the published case materials.
Conclusion boundary
Method and limits
This chapter stays inside the boundary of an officially unresolved or insufficiently attributed record. It explains exactly what is visible, what the source could establish, and why the remaining gap persists.
Inspect the strongest official media or case record in full.
Separate a physical object, a sensor signature, an identity, a performance claim, and an origin claim.
Name the missing observation that would most reduce uncertainty.
Official records preserve provenance, observations, assessments, and testimony at different evidence levels. Later data may revise how the same record is understood.
Historical thread

A visible catalog entry is valuable provenance, but Vastward must resist writing a richer story than the available documents allow.
