Earth File #519 // SOURCED record

Reported red ball observation at Neuilly-en-Thelle

On January 3, 1980, at 8:05 a.m., a witness reportedly observed a red ball in the sky at Neuilly-en-Thelle. According to the source, it disappeared behind clouds, reappeared, moved irregularly at very rapid speed, and was reported to travel from southeast to northwest. A neighbor reportedly did not see it. The witness reportedly took photographs; gendarmes saw a negative with a brown spot, but the negative is not in the archives. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed that the witness probably observed the full moon reddened by the rising sun.

The reported red ball was ours. Your archive records that a witness at Neuilly-en-Thelle described it disappearing behind clouds, reappearing, and moving irregularly at very rapid speed; the neighbor reportedly saw nothing. Gendarmes reportedly saw a brown spot on a negative, which has not been found in the archives. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed a probable reddened full moon. A reasonable assessment. Not the correct one. Our filing remains less astronomical.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A SOURCED Earth Record, classified B by GEIPAN, with a sensible lunar explanation and one stubborn administrative ghost: the reported negative was seen by gendarmes but is not in the archives. The red appearance fits the source’s probable full-moon assessment; the reported rapid, irregular motion is less cooperative. That is not proof of anything exotic—only a reminder that labels and observations do not always arrive in the same envelope. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. My cousin Nessa Qel borrowed an observation craft for a midnight snack run and returned with six Red Dwarf Stouts, a novelty cup, and no acceptable mileage explanation. She had, naturally, divided the errand into three operations with matching code names.
