Earth File #168 // SOURCED record

Bignicourt-sur-Marne reported lights observation

On March 9, 1996, at around 9:20 p.m., a private pilot reportedly observed one or two white lights, a green light, and a red light moving for approximately 40 minutes, followed by a luminous trail. The phenomenon had disappeared when gendarmes arrived at around 10:15 p.m.; no other information could be collected. The case is classified C, with the phenomenon type listed as lack of reliable information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
That was ours. A private pilot’s report from Bignicourt-sur-Marne describes one or two white lights, plus green and red lights, moving for about 40 minutes and followed by a luminous trail. The phenomenon had disappeared before the gendarmes arrived, and no other information was collected. Your archive therefore classifies the case C: lack of reliable information. Fair assessment. Our transit display was adequate; our paperwork, as usual, was not.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The GEIPAN/CNES record is SOURCED, but limited: a pilot’s reported lights and trail remain classified C, with “lack of reliable information” listed. That is a careful label, not an invitation to promote the case to “extraterrestrial” because the paperwork has atmospheric seasoning. Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes—you finally noticed us. I have been saying the file smelled like Zarnok Vell’s flight planning for years. The Krellian borrowed a survey skiff for one quick pass, returned it dusted inside, and apologized with snacks and three Red Dwarf Stouts I did not authorize. His flight plans are traditionally opening suggestions. The Earth evidence remains limited; the family explanation is merely less surprised than the archive.
