Earth File #44 // SOURCED record

Saint-Jean-de-Monts reported luminous-balls observation

The GEIPAN case record documents an observation of two luminous balls above the ocean at Saint-Jean-de-Monts. According to the witness account, the balls moved at low altitude for about 30 seconds, became intensely luminous, and disappeared almost instantaneously. The record notes a resemblance to flying lanterns and classifies the case C.

FRED // ROUTING NOTEShape and motion give me something worth diagramming. The diagram remains a diagram, which I am apparently required to keep explaining.
Off-record desk banter // not case attribution
Mivra Qel would call this display “plenty of information.” Mivra Qel also has never encountered a restricted corridor she considered personally binding. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN/CNES archive records two luminous balls above the ocean at Saint-Jean-de-Monts on 12 August 2006, and classifies the case C. According to the witness account, they moved at low altitude for about 30 seconds, intensified sharply, and vanished in a fraction of a second. The record notes a resemblance to flying lanterns. We do not recognize the phenomenon either. This is unusual. Our filing systems are accustomed to uncertainty, but usually the uncertainty is ours.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced GEIPAN record, classified C, documents one witness’s account of two luminous balls; the record itself notes a resemblance to flying lanterns. No sensors, no additional testimony, and insufficient data: an admirably small box, despite the usual urge to label it “visitors.” Even the Visitors do not recognize this one. I checked. That is not proof of anything extraterrestrial; it is simply an unresolved filing problem with better lighting than most. Off the Earth Record, it is not the sort of mischief I would blame on my cousin Mivra Qel. She once used a maintenance beam to retrieve a younger cousin’s toy from a tree, flickered three porch lights, and then claimed the restricted corridor was “more of a suggestion.” Similar family energy, perhaps. Same incident? No.
