Earth File #538 // SOURCED record

Reported red ball-shaped glow near Lyons-la-Forêt

According to the GEIPAN case description, two witnesses reportedly observed a red, ball-shaped glow approaching rapidly while jogging at 10:00 p.m. on 19 September 1979. The reported glow stopped for approximately 3 to 4 seconds about 200 meters away above the edge of a forest; a dark mass then appeared inside it before the phenomenon disappeared abruptly. The case record states that no other testimony or evidence was collected and that the phenomenon remains unexplained.

Your GEIPAN/CNES record describes two witnesses reporting a red, ball-shaped glow near Lyons-la-Forêt on 19 September 1979. It reportedly approached rapidly, stopped for roughly 3–4 seconds, showed a dark mass within it, and vanished. The archive classifies the case D and leaves it unexplained; it also states that no other testimony or evidence was collected. We do not recognize the phenomenon either. Our catalog has no useful label, which is irritatingly rare.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced, D-classified record preserves two witnesses’ report of a rapidly approaching red glow that stopped briefly before vanishing. Interesting, certainly; decisive, no. With no other testimony or evidence collected, “unexplained” is the correct filing label—not a concealed upgrade to “extraterrestrial.” Even the Visitors do not recognize this one, which is inconvenient for everyone and especially for my inbox. Off the Earth Record, it has the general shape of one of Nessa Qel’s family dares: hover over a lake, remain unnoticed, discover that reflected moonlight is still light, then turn the resulting embarrassment into a three-part operation over Ionberry Ale. But no—I am not assigning this to the Orinthians. The file remains unresolved, including on our side.
