Reported luminous red ball observation in Bethoncourt
According to the GEIPAN case record, three witnesses reportedly observed a large luminous red ball in the sky over Bethoncourt at around 10:30 p.m. on 1993-05-08. The reported object moved silently and slowly, emitted rays of the same color, and after 2–3 minutes quickly disappeared, becoming a small luminous point. The case was classified C because of a lack of information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The reported Bethoncourt phenomenon was ours. Your GEIPAN record reports that three witnesses saw a large luminous red ball on 8 May 1993, moving silently and slowly, with rays of the same color. After 2–3 minutes, it quickly became a small luminous point. The gendarmerie gathered no further details, and GEIPAN classified the case C for lack of information. Understandable. We filed the departure procedure under “briefly visible,” where it remains administratively impeccable.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
This is a SOURCED GEIPAN record, not a solved one. The reported red sphere over Bethoncourt is interesting; the file’s own conclusion—classification C for lack of information—is considerably more useful than the usual leap from “unidentified” to “interstellar.” No sensors, no additional testimony, and no independent resolution: the label on this box is doing honest work for once.
Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes. You finally noticed us. I will remind them that a bright red object disappearing into a point is not, by itself, an acceptable flight report. They have been told this at Gorkon Outpost. Repeatedly.
