Earth File #389 // SOURCED record

Saint-Chamond luminous circular object observation

The GEIPAN case record reports that two witnesses observed a luminous circular object for a few seconds on 1983-10-03. It was reportedly moving rapidly in a straight north–south line while describing spirals, then disappeared abruptly without leaving a trace. The case is classified C, with the phenomenon type listed as lack of reliable information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We accept responsibility for the luminous circular passage reported near Saint-Chamond on 3 October 1983. Your case record attributes the observation to two witnesses, who reportedly saw it for a few seconds; the record further describes rapid north–south motion, spiralling, and abrupt disappearance. GEIPAN classified the case C and listed it as lacking reliable information. Fair assessment. Our transit log is more confident, though it has been misplaced in the usual interstellar filing system.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN/CNES records this as a Class C case: two witnesses reported a few seconds of luminous motion, while the file concludes there is a lack of reliable information. That is the correct filing posture—interesting description, very little leverage. “Rapid,” “spirals,” and “abruptly” are not measurements, and this record does not justify upgrading the object into a vehicle, origin, or explanation. Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes: you finally noticed us. I would enjoy this more if my relatives stopped turning routine fieldwork into decades of archival suspense. Their admission remains AlienBox lore, not corroboration of the human record. The box stays marked unresolved.
