Earth File #546 // SOURCED record

Reported white luminous-ball observation in Herblay, 28 July 1979

The GEIPAN record reports that, around midnight during the night of 27–28 July 1979, a person observed a large white luminous ball through a window. It reportedly moved very slowly and silently from northwest to northeast before disappearing behind buildings. No other testimony was collected; the case is classified C, with reliable information stated to be lacking.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We accept responsibility for the luminous ball reported over Herblay on 28 July 1979. The witness’s account, preserved by GEIPAN, describes a large white sphere moving very slowly and silently from northwest to northeast before passing behind buildings. The record also notes that no other testimony was collected and assigns the case classification C: lack of reliable information. Fair enough. Our navigation log was filed under “large, quiet, visible,” which human bureaucracy has not yet adopted.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The SOURCED Earth Record gives us one witness, one luminous ball, no corroboration, and a GEIPAN classification C for lack of reliable information. Sensible filing. It does not establish what the object was—an important distinction, though apparently an unpopular one. Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. My friend Tovin Raal, a Nexari with a talent for turning routine observation passes into incident reports, once bet me he could hover longest over a lake. He learned that reflected moonlight is still light, then filed the paperwork over Zero-G Root Beer. This Herblay entry is ours in the family file; the human record, quite properly, remains uncertain.
