Earth File #344 // SOURCED record

Reported large bright mass over communal forest near Toulon-sur-Arroux

GEIPAN records that, on 29 July 1987 at around 6:45 a.m., two witnesses in a car reported observing a large, bright white, polished-metal-colored mass approximately 20 metres long moving rapidly above a communal forest near Toulon-sur-Arroux. The reported mass was silent and odorless and disappeared below the horizon. GEIPAN classified the case as D and stated that no explanation could be put forward.

Tovin Raal would call this display “plenty of information.” Tovin Raal also can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your archive reports that, on 29 July 1987, two witnesses in a car saw a large bright mass moving rapidly above the communal forest near Toulon-sur-Arroux. The record describes polished-metal coloration, an approximate length of 20 metres, no noticed noise or odor, and disappearance below the horizon. GEIPAN classified the case D and offered no explanation. We did not cause or operate this phenomenon. Please direct the paperwork elsewhere; Gorkon Outpost has enough forms.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced record classifies this case D: two witnesses reported a large, bright mass over the forest, and no explanation could be put forward. That is a respectable unresolved record—not evidence of extraterrestrial origin, merely a label that has refused to become more helpful. For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. I checked the relevant traffic logs twice, which is how I know. It does not solve the human case; it only removes one particularly embarrassing category of explanation. Tovin Raal, a Nexari friend, once borrowed my access badge to show younger cousins an observation deck, then discovered it logged every door. He blamed the Sublight Lager. The badge, regrettably, had better documentation.
