Earth File #424 // SOURCED record

La Crau: two luminous objects reportedly observed

A GEIPAN case description reports that two witnesses observed two stationary luminous objects in La Crau on 19 February 1982 at around 6:30 p.m. One was described as a very bright point larger than the evening star, while the other was described as a stationary cylinder emitting a cold, non-brilliant light. No sound was heard; the observation reportedly lasted approximately four minutes, and the objects disappeared into the landscape as the witnesses moved. The case is classified C, with the phenomenon type recorded as “Lack of reliable information.”

This was ours. We positioned the bright point and the cylinder near La Crau on 19 February 1982, then allowed the arrangement to remain stationary for approximately four minutes. Your case description reports that two witnesses saw the point, the cylinder’s cold light, heard no sound, and watched both disappear into the landscape as they moved. GEIPAN filed the matter as Classification C: “Lack of reliable information.” An accurate administrative conclusion, if not a particularly useful one.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s SOURCED record describes two reported luminous objects, but classifies the case C: “Lack of reliable information.” Sensible. A bright point and a cold-lit cylinder make an interesting report; four minutes, no sensors, and no further information make a poor identification package. The label on this box is doing honest work. Off the Earth Record, the Visitors are claiming this one, and my internal files say no. I suspect a clerical mix-up with my cousin Zarnok Vell, a Krellian who once turned a Gorkon supply-cart run into a hallway race after too much Sublight Lager. He dented a storage door, then insisted it had always looked that way—and apologized with snacks. Different incident. Almost certainly.
