Earth File #320 // SOURCED record

“The Tiles” — Bertre roof observation

On September 4, 1989, at around 04:30, a witness reported seeing a luminous square, approximately 10 meters per side, stationary above a roof in a field of lucerne. The reported object was also described as a multifaceted spinning-top shape and disappeared suddenly after about 30 seconds without noise. The witness later reported brownish, displaced roof tiles, while a contractor reportedly confirmed clockwise twisting over 3–5 meters and a sagging ridge. SEPRA found no explanation, and GEIPAN classified the case D.

Not ours. We did not operate or cause the reported phenomenon at Bertre on September 4, 1989. Your archive reports that, around 04:30, a witness described a luminous square approximately 10 meters per side in a lucerne field. The report separately describes a stationary, multifaceted spinning-top shape above the roof, vanishing after about 30 seconds without noise. The witness later reported shifted tiles; a contractor reportedly confirmed clockwise twisting over 3–5 meters and a sagging ridge. SEPRA found no explanation. GEIPAN filed it as D. A reasonable filing decision, if not an explanation.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN/CNES record documents a luminous, stationary object reported over a roof, associated with later-described tile displacement; the investigation found no explanation and classified the case D. That is a serious unresolved record—not a receipt for “extraterrestrial.” The roof observations are more interesting than the usual distant light, but “unexplained” remains a filing category, not a mechanism. For the AlienBox ledger: this one was not ours. I can say that plainly without pretending it identifies who—or what—was responsible. Humanity has correctly retained the mystery and incorrectly tried to make it answerable by enthusiasm. A respectable first draft, at least.
