Earth File #404 // SOURCED record

Reported top-shaped object near Lower Normandy, 28 January 1983

The GEIPAN archive reports that a motorist saw a top-shaped object 2 or 3 meters above the ground, emitting low-intensity red and green lights. The reported object zigzagged, rose in very high spirals, and disappeared. No further information was collected; the case is classified C and listed as lacking reliable information.

That one was ours. The low-altitude, top-shaped configuration was a temporary field unit, not a ceremonial object, despite its unnecessarily theatrical zigzag and spiral departure. Your archive reports that a motorist observed it near Lower Normandy at 12:10 a.m., with low-intensity red and green lights, before it disappeared. The same archive classifies the case C, citing a lack of reliable information and noting that no further information was collected. Accurate enough. Incomplete, as usual.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The GEIPAN/CNES archive gives this a SOURCED record status, while classifying it C for lack of reliable information. A motorist’s reported top-shaped object and its theatrical exit remain an observation, not an Earth-established identification. The filing is admirably honest: the archive says no further information could be collected. Rare paperwork competence. Off the Earth Record, yes—this one was ours. My Orinthian cousin Nessa Qel borrowed my access badge to show the younger cousins an observation deck, turned one family errand into a three-part operation, and apparently decided Nebula Cherry Fizz improved stealth. The badge logged every door. I can read logs. She still claims the zigzag was “planned.”
