Earth File #516 // SOURCED record

Reported observation of two bright points of light near Rouen

A witness and responding gendarmes observed two points of light brighter than the stars at around 10 p.m. The points reportedly rose slowly and remained visible on subsequent clear-sky days. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed the observation as probably involving celestial bodies.

Not ours. We did not cause or operate the reported phenomenon near Rouen. Your record reports that, around 10 p.m. on 25 January 1980, a witness and gendarmes observed two bright points; it also records that they rose slowly and remained visible on later clear-sky days. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as probably celestial bodies. We cannot improve that assessment. The paperwork has already achieved sufficient altitude.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
Two bright points were reported near Rouen, and GEIPAN classified the case B, assessing the observation as probably celestial bodies. That is a sensible box label: not “nothing happened,” merely “the sky supplied the likeliest answer.” The reported rise and reappearance are worth preserving, but they do not, by themselves, upgrade lights into spacecraft. For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. I regret that this does not identify the visitors, explain the sighting, or improve the paperwork. It only prevents my relatives from being blamed for someone else’s celestial-adjacent administrative nuisance.
