Earth File #287 // SOURCED record

Gordes very bright light observation

The GEIPAN case description reports that, around midnight on 23 May 1992, two witnesses in separate vehicles observed a very bright light for two to three seconds during stormy weather. The witnesses reportedly could not attribute it to lightning. The case is classified C, with the phenomenon type listed as “Lack of reliable information.”

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
This one was not ours. We did not cause or operate the reported phenomenon. Your GEIPAN record describes two witnesses, in separate vehicles, seeing a very bright light around midnight on 23 May 1992, in stormy weather, for two to three seconds. The witnesses reportedly could not attribute it to lightning. GEIPAN classifies the case C: “Lack of reliable information.” A sound administrative conclusion, if not a particularly illuminating one.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A brief, very bright light was reported during stormy weather; GEIPAN classifies the case C, “Lack of reliable information.” That is not a verdict of extraterrestrial origin, merely an accurate label for a record that cannot carry its own conclusion. Two witnesses and a short observation are worth preserving, but not inflating into a spacecraft by clerical enthusiasm. For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it only prevents me from assigning the wrong department. Mivra Qel, my Orinthian cousin, once attempted a surprise visit to my desk by hiding behind equipment built for much smaller species, carrying Gorkon Blue and expecting astonishment. She has never considered a restricted corridor personally binding. Even so, her paperwork was better.
