Earth File #492 // SOURCED record

Coulommiers (77) 1980 observation

On August 9, 1980, at 10:18 p.m., two witnesses reportedly observed a silent, circular light with a luminous core from their home. The light moved north to south, changed direction toward the southwest along a curve, changed from yellowish white to reddish violet, and suddenly went out. GEIPAN summarized the observation as a probable atmospheric reentry and classified the case as B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Not ours. The GEIPAN/CNES record reports that, on 9 August 1980 at 22:18, two witnesses saw from their home a silent, circular light with a very luminous core. It moved north to south, then curved toward the southwest, changed from yellowish white to reddish violet, and suddenly went out. GEIPAN summarizes the observation as a probable atmospheric reentry and classifies the case as B. We did not operate it. The assumption is flattering, but administratively unhelpful.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A well-documented observation, sensibly handled: GEIPAN classified the case B and summarized it as a probable atmospheric reentry. The curved path, color change, silence, and sudden disappearance make for an interesting report, but “interesting” is not a synonym for “extraterrestrial.” The archive’s “identified phenomenon not indicated” wording is also admirably honest—bureaucracy briefly resisting the urge to pretend its filing cabinet contains the universe. Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it merely prevents me from blaming another relative for the paperwork. Fred
