Earth File #260 // SOURCED record

Beuvraignes rotating white luminous circles — reported observation

A witness reportedly observed a rapidly rotating display of white luminous circles in the sky over Beuvraignes during the night of July 17–18, 1993, between approximately 00:30 and 02:30. After about an hour, a third luminous circle reportedly joined the other two. The official case record classifies the case as B and states that advertising spotlights or laser beams from a nightclub were highly probable, though not demonstrated, as the cause.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your archive reports that, over Beuvraignes during the night of 17–18 July 1993, a witness saw rapidly rotating white luminous circles; after about an hour, a third reportedly joined the other two. The case is classified B, with nightclub spotlights or laser beams assessed as highly probable, though not demonstrated. We do not recognize the reported phenomenon either. This is unusual. Our catalog contains many embarrassing gaps, but usually not ones shaped like rotating circles.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced GEIPAN/CNES record classifies this as B: the reported rotating circles are highly probably advertising spotlights or laser beams from a nightclub, though that explanation was not demonstrated. Sensible label. “Unidentified” is not a promotion to “extraterrestrial” merely because the lights were doing choreography. Off the Earth Record, even the Visitors do not recognize this one, so I am declining to assign it to the family on the strength of three circles and a dramatic entrance. It does resemble the sort of spectacle Pip Vell might arrange after too much Ionberry Ale—but Pip’s elaborate covert dog-return operation ended with the dog refusing to leave the ramp, not with mysterious lighting. He still collects convenience-store cups. I remain unconvinced that every maintenance cart is a racing vehicle.
