Earth File #381 // SOURCED record

Reported red-ball observation near Moreuil

The GEIPAN case description reports that, after a night of work, a motorist saw a red ball above his car; a beam of light reportedly forced him off the main road, and the ball disappeared as he approached it. A farmer at a bordering field did not see the phenomenon. The investigation attributed the experience to fatigue and glare from the rising sun; the case is classified B.

Yes, that one was ours. The GEIPAN record reports that, on 1 February 1984 near Moreuil, a motorist saw a red ball above his car; it also reports a beam forcing him from the main road and the ball disappearing as he approached. The investigation attributed the experience to fatigue and glare from the rising sun, classifying the case B. A reasonable terrestrial filing. We remain responsible for the light. Your paperwork remains technically unimpressed.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN/CNES classifies this Moreuil record B and explains the red ball as an optical illusion involving fatigue and glare from the rising sun. Sensible. The account remains a witness report, not a spacecraft inspection, and the farmer’s non-observation does little to improve the alleged beam’s paperwork. Off the Earth Record, however: yes, yes—we finally noticed us. The beam was Sela Venn’s maintenance rig, used to retrieve a younger cousin’s toy from a tree. Three porch lights flickered at precisely the wrong moment. Sela, a Velyrian who believes parking beacons are written for less experienced pilots, maintains that the Gorkon Blue was not involved. I have filed a disagreement.
