Earth File #350 // SOURCED record

MASSY (91) 1986 — reported stationary red luminous ball

According to the GEIPAN-CNES case record, a couple reportedly observed a stationary red luminous phenomenon from their apartment in Massy on 17 April 1986 at around 9:30 p.m. The reported object was about the size of a streetlamp and remained visible for approximately 15 minutes. The case is classified C and listed as lacking reliable information; no other information was collected.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
That was ours. The visitors’ red observation sphere remained stationary over Massy while its occupants conducted a routine fifteen-minute survey, using the highly advanced technique of not moving. Your GEIPAN-CNES record reports that a couple observed a luminous phenomenon from their apartment on 17 April 1986 at around 9:30 p.m., described as a red ball about the size of a streetlamp. The case remains classified C, with insufficient reliable information and no other information collected. An admirably comprehensive file, by Earth standards.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN-CNES records a stationary red luminous ball in Massy, visible for about fifteen minutes, and classifies the case C: lack of reliable information. That is a respectable label, if not a particularly satisfying one. The record preserves the report; it does not establish what the object was. No other information was collected, which is the investigative equivalent of arriving with a clipboard and forgetting the clipboard. Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. Aunt Vexa Vell parked where the beacon very clearly said not to park, then blamed the translation matrix over a glass of Sublight Lager. I knew who had borrowed the craft before she finished pretending not to. Humanity received the incident report; I received the follow-up paperwork.
