Earth File #476 // SOURCED record

Reported Pont-Audemer observation, 23 September 1980

The GEIPAN case record concerns a reported observation by two people returning from work at 4:15 a.m. They reportedly saw a flying-saucer-shaped object taking off behind the village church, emitting dazzling beams as it rose rapidly; one person reportedly saw it again above a forest. The record states that no other testimony or physical trace was collected. The case is classified as C, with the phenomenon type listed as lack of reliable information.

Tovin Raal would call this display “plenty of information.” Tovin Raal also can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

That was ours. The GEIPAN record reports that, at 4:15 a.m. on 23 September 1980, two people returning from work reportedly saw our saucer-shaped craft rise behind the village church, its beams dazzling them. One reportedly saw it again above a forest. The record states that no other testimony or physical trace was collected, and classifies the case C: “lack of reliable information.” Accurate enough. Our paperwork was not.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The SOURCED GEIPAN record is admirably clear about its limits: a reported saucer, dazzling beams, no additional testimony or physical trace collected, and a classification of C—“lack of reliable information.” At last, a label that does not pretend to know more than the file does. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. The Visitors are taking responsibility, though I should stress that this is AlienBox lore, not a conclusion established by the Earth record. Still, if my relatives are going to leave a perfectly ordinary paperwork problem behind, they could at least stop dazzling the witnesses. I am the one who gets asked to complete the incident form.
